#386 Universe has already decided the winner

Hello readers, 

I feel blessed to share this incident with you to reinforce your self-conviction and belief on magical powers of the Universe which always listens to our every thought and desires like a faithful genie.   

Once my sister, Sweta, found out a competition which was requesting the participants to submit a hand written letter to their special ones on the eve of Valentine’s day and the deadline was few days before Valentine’s day. She challenged me to participate in that competition even after knowing the fact that I have never ever attempted to write anything in the genre Romance. I accepted her challenge. Unfortunately I missed out the deadline because of some of the academic commitments but deep down in my heart, I wanted to participate in that competition.

After few days, again my sister insisted me to participate in that competition as the deadline of the event had been postponed to 6^th of March for non-receipt of unsatisfactory entries. I perceived it as an opportunity which served two purpose; first, to win the challenge that my sister had given me and second, to try out something new in the field of writing. So, I poured my intentions of heart over a piece of letter.  When the result was declared, guess what? I was the winner.

It was as if the Universe had already decided the winner even before he occurrence of this competition.

Thanks to the powerful Universe and magic dust to all.

#348 Grabbing wings for the world

Grabbing wings for the world

Travelling is one of the wonderful experiences that one can get in life. It lets one to explore the places that one has never been before. Places have a lot of stories to tell just like people. Not just stories but on visiting them we create a lot of memories. Every time I visit a new place, I wonder about the vastness of this world both in terms of geographical expansion and the experiences that it has to offer to the the travellers. Travelling experiences lead to open mindedness.

 

It’s among my obvious desires to be a bird whenever I sit over the terrace and stare at the limitless sky. This sight of a bird spreading its wings with utmost ease in the sky further aggravates my longing to be one of those species. I wish I had a pair of wings to take me to the places instantly where I always want to travel. From this state of desire of mine, it can be inferred that travelling is one those things that I enjoy.

About a month back, when my parents gave me a surprise news to visit my hostel and pick me up, I was thrilled to the level that no one can ever imagine. I spent sleepless nights before their arrival. There was a reason for this overexcited state of happiness of mine. First, I was going to my home after a long and arduous wait of 6 months. Second, my exams were over by then. Third, this time I was not travelling to my home alone like other times but accompanied by my parents. Fourth, we were visiting to different places to create memory. That was the biggest relief to me and I could enjoy my moment. Adding to all these were the visit to Sanchi Stupa and Orchha.  

Sanchi Stupa is the reflection of Budhhist art and architecture,located at Sanchi town , Madhya Pradesh. It was built by emperor Ashoka of Maurya Dynasty. We reached there during morning time and the chillness of the surrounding was getting diminished by the rays of sunlight that were started to fall on the Earth. The prevalent serenity of that place what captivated me. I started imagining how Buddhist monks used to be meditating at this place. It is considered as one of the oldest stone structures of India having a shape of hemispherical dome. It has been enlisted as a world heritage site in 1989. These Stupas have been surrounded by ornamental gateways on its four sides. This site remains open from sunrise to sun set and I could find some of the foreigners being present there. I could find various statues of Buddha in his meditative sitting posture. What an expression of peace that emanated! I was lost in the moment. I captured many pictures for memories and purchased some of the things being sold at the site as tokens for memory.

Sharing some of the pics I clicked there to preserve it as a part of my memory

On our way back, we visited Orchha. It is one of the tourist places situated in Tikamgarh district of MP. The beautiful fort with windows with a lot of holes reminded me of the days when we travelled Hawa Mahal in Jaipur.Because of the time constraint, we could not explore much as we were already very much tired by then and the scorching heat added fuel to the level of our exhaustion. I did not forget to take few snaps to store them as a part of the memory.

Trips to different places with family and friends are among the most enjoyable moments of my life and when these trips are not pre-planned or secretly made, they make the experience even more worthy. No doubt, travelling has increased my love for this world. I look forward to such trips in near future to include them in the part of my memory.

#336 Modern harbinger of peace: A jinn in disguise

Modern harbinger of peace: A Jinn in disguise

Can the feeling of being quiet

Enchant anyone at a point of time?

The answer turns out in affirmation

For me the day I found

An advertisement of modern

Harbinger of peace and a jinn in disguise

Whenever I longed for a

Sense of peace

I put on those modern devices

With the tracks of meditation on

Never ever I felt the rhythm so divine

Driving away the fatigue of all day’s long

 

Introducing QuietComfort35 ; the name

The designers gave it fondly

Which it proudly carries

What’s its identity?

A Wireless headphone(II) it is

From the stores of Bose

Whether you pick the

Black or the silver one

You’ll never get disappointed

By its quality, I guarantee

The embrace of solace has

Never been so comforting

Enumerating some features it has

Setting it apart from its counterparts

In the market of fierce competition

When designed with utmost caution

With superb noise cancelling ability

Enriching your listening experience

An insight to its design

Embodied with Alcantara cushions

For rendering comfort all day long

The light cushioned ear cups

 Acting as pillows to

The natural receptors of yours

This will be your perfect companion

A Jinn in disguise to take your orders

Embedded with the facility of Bluetooth

And built-in Google assistant

Playing songs, receiving texts and getting

 Answers without glancing at your phones

To evoke the Jinn it possesses, all you

Need to do is to press the action button

Below the well equipped ear cups

And the jinn is ready to take action

This has simple lent another dimension

To portability of music you like

The factors contributing to its longevity

Can not be ignored so easily

Impact resistant materials, glass filled nylon

And corrosion resistant stainless steel

Add glory to its uniquely engineered structure

That you can ever afford to miss.

With Twenty hours of battery life

You can enjoy your entire playlist

Without any interruption and a quick

Charge for minutes fifteen for another

Thirty minutes for your service

An app from Bose for your support

Hear or be heard even when it’s windy

Or the noise starts surrounding

Enjoy its consistent performance

At any level of volume you choose

Try talking through the studded

Bluetooth pairings.

A synonym to luxury for the world of

Symphony and never to forget

It as an intelligent investment for lifetime

A modern harbinger of peace, I would call it.
