I'm going to share my experience with my neighbour Bob. Bob was a common family man like you and me. He had a supportive wife and two bundles of joy. He had a productive job with a very good pay and had outgoing colleagues. Everything was perfect,  just the way anyone would want it to be until that fateful day. Let me explain. It was that day when Bob found a peculiar- looking box with contents in it. It was black and rather shiny. Every time he looked at it, it seemed to pull him towards itself. He forced his eyes to look away from it, but his legs couldn't bear the weight. He thought for a while and opened it. It consisted of what looked like a mini toy umbrella, a phone, a syringe and a paper memo sheet. A message had been written on it intended to the receiver. It said,"Dial 91563 once you get this. This is only phase one." Bob was puzzled. Having curiosity controlling him, he picked up the box without attracting his colleagues' attention. He immediatel...

Hi guys! How many of us feel drowsy at the sight of a very historic 725-page novel [or more than that!] The habit of reading is contagious. Once you get the taste of it, it would be absolutely impossible to control! Okay, let me share my own experience. This journey started with a disinclined toddler (me) and an enthusiastic,supportive mother (my mom). I felt lazy to read a book. My mom tried to persuade me into doing so. At first, it felt like a punishment. My mom used to bribe me those days by rewarding a candy for every two hours of reading. I started with Bubbles and Pepper series at the age of four. So I first started with such books. Soon, I was addicted to it. I also realized my language skills had improved a lot and my vocabulary had widened. I found it much more easier to communicate with people and I was much more fluent than I was before. A scientific study also said that reading trains your brain. It strengthens the areas that are responsible for cognitive skills,...

Hey guys! Now this is a really thoughtful letter I wanna share with you. There are hardly 5 more days left for me to turn 11. Here is a list of the do's and don't's  I learnt in the ten years of my life- 1) Place your priorities above anything else (except yourself) Always try to shave off bits of time to spend on your passion, talent or developing your inner self.   That doesn't mean shoving off important work. One has to spend at least an hour or two on oneself. My leisure time consists of writing my online diary, sketching, writing poems, working on my singing skills, listening to TED talks,etc. Managing time ineffectively can bring horrible consequences including being grounded for months together. 2) Don't ever mess with your little' sis or bro   I'm serious about this. NEVER have strains in your current relationship with your younger sibling.     A younger sibling always come handy as an agent when you want to conceal your crime.   ...

  Aruvi (2017) Cast: Aditi Balan, Anjali Varadhan Director: Arun Prabhu Synopsis: Aditi stars as Aruvi, a bubbly, enthusiastic girl having a close family who grows to become a sunny, carefree daddy's girl until one fateful incident after which her family shoos her away. Aruvi   is a masterpiece of an out-of-the-box thinker. The social anguish of a rebellious young woman is rightly expressed here. Anjali Varadhan plays exceptionally well. It is a bundle of emotion and joy. One is taken on a roller coaster of life, undoubtedly a bumpy one. It is definitely not happy. It takes us through a journey of compassion, The name Aruvi fits the protagonist's personality and the film perfectly.  Aruvi is broken but firm, chaotic but calm, brave but fearful, an angel but a devil.  Aditi Balan is surely the best person to portray this role. Her display of emotions when her doting dad suddenly starts hating her to the core is very realistic....
