We didn't even realize we had lost

-

 When I was a kid, it was really hard for my parents to handle me because of my naughtiness as well as my love for the soil. Not only during childhood, I loved playing in mud; still, I play in mud, but I never saw any of my nieces or nephews playing in mud. As a child, I knew how hard it was to watch TV for an hour without being scolded by the elders. It's like time scheduled for television. My grandparents showed me crows, cows, and goats and made me eat, but nowadays it's all about having a mobile phone in a child's hand and feeding them. Even though the scenario is not only for children, it also suits adults. One hand holds and another hand holds mobile phone. The whole concentration is on the mobile phone. Sometimes I also have my lunch while watching television. We allow children to play with artificial clay, but not in soil. We literally lost many outdoor games. I think we were the generation that had golden times during childhood. It's not the fault of children in today's generation; rather, circumstances made them. If it was a celebration at home before 10 years, cousins used to play and we enjoyed our moments, but now everyone sits with their mobile phone. The LKG kid was given an assignment. When I was that age, I didn't even know that there was a word called assignment exist in the dictionary. If it was night, we had family time, but now it's mostly mobile phone time. If it was vacation, there was a separate allocation of time for TV for everyone at home, and we waited for that time. Except TV time, we played with neighbors, cousins, and friends. If there were grandparents at home, we would listen to the stories they heard from the ancestors, and I don't know what stories the next generation will share with their grandchildren. We feel like having foreign food is even a kind of fashion and superiority, and having our native food style is a kind of inferior thinking. Trying new foods is good, but mocking the native food style was something that I couldn't digest. It's not all about the development, but we also lost something that we didn't even realize we had lost.

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
