A Beautiful World

Hey guys! 
A very happy new year to all my readers! I guess we will finally get to time travel this year (atleast I hope so). Today I wrote a short poem that I would like to share with you all!

Butterflies, Breeze and Sunshine

Like little butterflies fluttering away
Singing the song of the wind
Like flowers blooming 
and the raindrops pattering down.

Like the new plants that grow
the beautiful nature's rhyme
Like the stars that light up the evening sky
and the rainbow spreads colour and joy.

Like the gusto of the wind, 
which spreads a shiny breeze
Like the song of a nightingale
and squirrels peeping through the leaves.

Like the Sun shining so bright
awakening our souls with light.
Like the new born baby's cry
the sweet song that says hello to life.

Like all the beautiful things in the world
a relation built on love and trust
To family, life and friends all dear
Your love is lovely, ohh, I just shed a tear!


I hope you liked it! Let me know what you thought of it in the comments :) 
Loads of love and best wishes for the new year

Are we as Idiot as the Idiot Box







I was sitting down with my mum today and realised what cinema and television meant to them.


Star Trek a fashion during their age is never forgotten. My mum still remembers Spo

ck's sexy voice and Captain Kirk's handsome built. It was the time when the television show was introduced and gained popularity in India
and still has a place in people's hearts.
This was when I sat down and thought that would the shows that we watch today have equal importance. Is this 'idiot box' as we call it gone too far to leave importance and a mark of anything that is
shown?

I sit down to think that ; would I remember 'Wizards Of Waverly Place' or 'Glee' once I grow as old as mum? I don't think so. In today's age, with so much to trend the value is lost. Coming down to it, television was there when I was born, I grew watching it, and the minor changes were nothing new.
If you think about it, you can find many reasons as to why television was of importance to

our parents. It was something new and interesting, the whole family sat down to watch a single episode of Ramayan and Mahabharata (which was the most famous amongst all that came on T.V in India).In other words, it united the family.

Nowadays, with so many shows - different for kids and adults and teenagers with their o
wn lists, it ends up dividing the family. My grandparents liking
to watch the episodes of Balika Vadhu ; my mom wanting to watch the old episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S ; dad engrossing himself in travel and living as well as music shows, and me, being a teenager watching Glee results in no or very little time for family.

I started from the importance of television in old days, and continued with its relevance for today's generation. I wish I could club the two and get the same old togetherness in the family back.
