HYHYHY!!! Welcome back once again!  Today's blog is all about the biggest man made disaster, effects of which are evident till date. YES! Chernobyl it is. The Beirut's recent chemical disaster made me think about Chernobyl and it's aftermath. This information about Chernobyl is from Reader's Digest's special edition. I saw very few people explain the series of events that took place on the day of the disaster while many focused on the aftermath. Here's a little insight on the events that occurred just before the accident. What exactly happened: On the night of 25-26, April 1986, while shutting down the reactor for maintenance, a very over due test were being conducted to ascertain the capacity of the turbine's (which was nearing the end of life) power generation, in the event of a a power cut. And due to various reasons, the reactor was running at a low power (unstable). The reactor used here is RBMK-1000 which is very unstable in low power condition. This ...

HYHYHY!!!  I am doing great. Wishing the same for everyone. This week has been a little slow to me till now. Let's see what I can do.  So, here I am once again with my poem. I dunno how I am getting these thoughts, but I just believe nature is making me speak. And I hope, I am making sense! What do you think about a beautiful sunset? What do you feel when you are watching it? Is it same every time?Are your thoughts same every time? I would like to share one of  such thoughts, that crossed my mind on a beautiful sunset day.  And here it goes:                                                             I am afraid of your brightness I am afraid of your beauty I am afraid of your vastness I am afraid of the hope you give I am afraid of the life you promise . . . I am afraid that I will get lost... get lost in you! The abov...

HYHYHY!!! Welcome back! I was walking in the corridor, nothing like evening or morning walks, to be exact it was noon. I was looking at my garden, leaning on the gate and just left my thoughts to overtake me. I was humming this song "Ude khule aasman ke khwabonke parinde.." ( it is gem of a song, do listen if you didn't till now.), watching birds heading home for lunch. (well I think that's where they were going) Then suddenly this thought stuck me. And that's where this poem came from. And here it goes: I was there every single day, staring at you, beaming at you, dreaming about you... But never did I think of being there, with you, never did I think of exploring you, never did I think of conquering you. May be I am content, seeing you, may be I am happy, having you, Or may be I don't want to think about it at all! Should I have to think, when I can feel? I was looking at that sky every single day. I saw him furious during summer, gloomy during winters, roma...

HYHYHY!!! Welcome to my blog once again! ABOUT THE BOOK: Today I am going to start my book reviews on this very blog. And for the first review, I picked one of my favourite books, THE ENGLISH PATIENT. It was written by Michael Ondaatje. This book was first published in 1992. In the same year, it was nominated for the Booker prize and eventually bagged it. Later again in 2018, it was nominated for the Golden Man Booker prize and once again, there's no seeing back.  ABOUT THE STORYLINE: The English Patient is a story that is set in the backdrop of the world war-II. And most of the story surrounds an abandoned Italian villa. When war circumstances urges everyone to relocate to the safer places, a Canadian nurse, Hana decides to stay back in the villa turned hospital, along with the English patient(supposed to be English by his voice), who had very less chances of survival with his brutal burns. Hana knows nothing about the English patient and yet she decides to stay with him out of...

HYHYHY!!! I don't know, maybe I am in a good mood today😉, I feel like writing one more small poem.  This poem is about the 'hesitation in beginning to write something'. And I framed the sentences in Hindi (shayari). But I will try to give the meaning of it in the end.  Here it goes: naya hi yeh sab... naya hi yeh sab, koi nai, shuru toh karenge ab! ek baar kalam se parichay toh karwao, phir dekh, parichay se kya matlab! naya hi yeh sab, arey, koi nai, shuru toh karenge ab! So, basically what I am trying to say is: " Everything is new. But don't worry, let's begin. Once you start to write, then there's no need for introductions." It is a small boost I was giving to myself when I became oblivious about my writing. And I wish these words will help you takeover that bitter gulp that's troubling you. P.S.: Do tell me, what you do when you feel such hesitation before beginning to do any work? Pic credits: Google Check more of my work on Instagram: Lin...

HYHYHY!!! As I already told you, I have this thing for writing. So, in this blog I am going to present a nice romantic poem. It describes the sweetness of love between two lovers. I imagined a scene in the rain (which needs no other romantic ideas😉). Hope you enjoy it!!! Here it goes: she stood on her toes, straight and firm in the first ballet lesson, she learnt it all. although the rain joined her, she never cared, as she was overwhelmed. while the hands on her waist made her dance, the touch on her lips found her ground. That is how I imagined a romantic rainy evening! Well, may be this monsoon season compelled me to imagine as such, I guess😊😊😊. Do let me know how you felt about my attempt to bring you some love through my words. And do let me know if you have any such lines in your heart!!!  To know more about me, follow me on Instagram: Link-  https://www.instagram.com/wat_i_read/ Name- Tomreads Username- @wat_i_read Pic credits: Google Will meet you all soon!
