The Feel of Missing

-
It's all about missing the temple festival for the first time. From the day of my remembrance, it was mandatory for me to go to the festival. Only last year I didn't go because I had my public exam (maths) on the next day. It's near my grandmother's home, so most of the days we used to spend there. My grandfather used to take me and my cousins for a little walk, and he used to buy us snacks. I could not explain the beauty of the shops, the lighting, and the joy everyone has in them. I used to have a night walk with my dad from my young age because of my obsession with seeing the lights, and I won't torture him to buy any toys because he used to turn my mind by explaining about the lights. Every year, we used to buy helium balloons, and their lifespan usually ends after a week. Even most of the life of the toys ends sooner because we live with them for 24 hours. Relatives used to buy toys and accessories for us. Our family had a tradition of keeping achaar (pickles (mango/gooseberry)) and also water in the entrance. Everyone gathers, and the elders used to prepare, and we children also helped them with our little service. We all sit at the entrance, and when the water and the pickle are in a state of ending, we run towards our grandfather and tell him. He used to refill them. On the 8th day of the Ulsavam, elephants will be in the procession. Most of our faraway relatives met us on that day, and that's the only reason I knew about them.

It's a place where I can see the secularism of our country. There will be people from every community and religion. It's all about happiness and the memorable moments we shared.

MY ENDLESS THIRST FOR BIKE RIDES

-

          I was around 4 years old when I held the throttle for the first time. It was RX 100, so I don't need to explain how I felt at that time. During my childhood days, I used to travel to my grandma's home, and if the road was empty, I would get the throttle. This is how I fell in love with bike rides.           When I was 9 years old, one day I tried to get on the bike. Somehow I managed to do that, but suddenly I lost balance and fell off the bike. After this accident for a while, I maintained distance from the bikes. But I couldn't maintain it for a long time because I don't know why I am addicted to it. Now I am an adult, but I don't know how to ride a bike. Sometimes I dream of being a rider, but that's just a dream. I used to have small rides with my dad, which I enjoyed the most, but I still remember the two accidents that restricted me from learning to ride a bike. After those accidents, I found out that I have dystychiphobia. Dystychiphobia means

PONNIYIN SELVAN - MY FIRST NOVEL

    On January 28, I came across a YouTube video related to Ponniyin Selvan. All of a sudden, I remembered my Tamil madam, who told me about the Ponniyin Selvan novel. She read only a few pages, and it was so interesting. Her words drove me to search for this novel.              I gained interest and downloaded a soft copy of the part I Fresh Floods. I know there is a difference between reading the hard copy and the soft copy, but I couldn’t hold my enthusiasm for reading it. After completing my download, I started reading the novel, and soon I felt that I was getting addicted to it. I skipped all my other works and time-traveled to the 10th century Chola kingdom. Feeling this, I deleted the soft copy because my intuition warned me that I was drowning in it. But honestly, the next day, I redownloaded it. I scheduled the timing for reading it. I became a part of the novel. I traveled with Vallavarayan Vandiya Devan. When he admired the beauty of the Chola Empire, I admired him. I went

APRÌL FÒOL

 Hello everyone. Today is the first of April, and I was not fooled by anyone. (I typed this first line and went to speak with my dad, and then I came to continue my blog.) But unfortunately, I became an April fool at 7:48 p.m. One of my friends messaged me that the professor whom I was assigned to II CA for SHE and HEL asked me to meet her after 1.30. He told me that he didn't know why she asked me to meet her, but the professor told him that it was very important. I backed up his chat and searched for the particular professor's contact, thinking to myself, Do I need to message her or could I meet her tomorrow? At this time, my friend messaged me, "Happy April Fools Day, Libi." I was like, nobody fooled me today, and thanks for fooling me and giving me enough content😂.      During school days, I used to get fooled the next moment I entered my classroom. My friends usually be like Maths sir is absent, and I was like, Oh, is it? Then let's go to the ground today. I
