Dust Bowl of Scribblings

In our teenage rebellion, we once sacrificed Those peculiar sensations, deep within us enticed For we settled debates on symbolism's plea Of a red balloon in English class, oh, the debates were fiery. But in this journey, we've found a different truth Not outgrown school itself, but outgrown our youth We've surpassed the fleeting joy of a half-mark gain Outgrown the narrow happiness tethered to such a mundane domain We've shed the burdens of our youthful naivety Casting off the baggage of unrealistic dreams with levity. We've outgrown the fanciful notions that once held sway Replaced with a mature perspective that guides our way. I've transcended every phase, once intended to conclude Not merely due to the school's destined end, but my own interlude. I've outgrown the chapter that defined my days For my personal phase has evolved in myriad ways.

 

    To listen the world’s reasoned nonsense The people doth kill the creatives In their vision they evolve But has sucked up so many years, years The years of revolution  The years of pain, and efforts Discerning this, the owl disappears As windows of acceptance become begrimed Making me own a dead mind   They bow to the darkness of the world The Deepness of the past vanishes away As my trapped soul inhibits my wit Discerning this, Grit disappears with death As windows of acceptance become begrimed Making me own a dead mind Aaryan Chhabra

Poem - 'To Become Worthy of Acceptance' Whenever I catch a sight of myself in the silver coated mirror, A Thank you note bears out of my young faithful heart, As lord created me as a person, who is worthy of acceptance who is worthy enough to be accepted by this judgmental social society, Even if as a debt, and not a gift, but to become worthy of acceptance is something which manages to be a true blessing.   The present-day society glides up high in the sky, as it elevates its rating each day, where some people fail to reach the level, as result they are abused, and fail to enjoy the feeling of revel,   I plea to the almighty to grant this worth to all, or rather make people understand that everyone is worthy of love and care, everyone is worthy of acceptance,

Poem - 'The Squeaking Swing' As another lonely day begins, and the loop of routine initiates again, As the exhaustion cycle repeats itself inside my brain, I try to engage myself in something new, But I just end up tying up my old worn-out shoe   My mind starts to pain with the load of the regular tedious schedule, and suddenly my body starts moving on its own, as It climbs up to the terrace, And comforts itself on the squeaking swing   The swing starts driving back and forth, My brain ache starts to disappear as snow does The fresh cool breeze and the candied voice of the crow, It is just the tranquillity my mind faces, It is just the happiness I gather, from this squeaking swing, as the old swing moves to and fro - Aaryan Chhabra 

  ‘Taking the challenges as god-sent opportunities will always make us learn something new.’ The flare of COVID-19 pandemic lays a profound effect on the lives of billions of people around the world. The newly imposed restrictions on daily life have forced us to adopt techniques like - working from home and E-Learning. The pandemic poses a great challenge to us and enforces us to develop new habits to prevent the infection. People see this as a great challenge, but I have turned this challenge into an opportunity by reviving my hobbies and learning new things. This COVID-19 challenge offers me an inspiration to grasp opportunities and productively use them. I spend some part of the day with my family wherein, we play indoor games and engage ourselves in gastronomy. I am continuously trying to improve my culinary skills, by making some snacks on my own for my family. I also assist my parents in household work. I always save my afternoon time for sketching, as I find it relaxing and it

  ‘To Improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often’ ~ Winston Churchill Transformation in the society requires us to bring a change in ourselves to thrive in this unstable world. Technology is rapidly growing and is spreading its arms into our lifestyle. It affects every aspect of our life – From Big businesses to small tasks like shopping. So, the changes in our lifestyle must go in accordance with the rapidly changing world. This world is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. Volatility depicts the unpredictable and fast changes in life. Uncertainty stands for the indefinite changes which take place without coming into the knowledge of the person. Complexity outlines the complicated interconnection of multiple components in a system. Ambiguous stands for misinterpretation on one topic due to absence of a direct answer. As the pace of change continues to grow, it requires us to prepare ourselves for the upcoming changes and bring the same advancements in us in orde

                                                        As I went past the erratic power supplied lamps along the streets, I saw the necessitous, whose eyes glimmered with hope for help, I suddenly flashed back to the old memories As it is easy to reminisce on the good memories rather than the bad.   I suddenly recalled, that no day is bad It is just the way how we look at the world, I decided to spread sanguinity; I decided to help the needy Hoping that the world heals with recovery which is speedy.   I hurried back home, convinced my mother to prepare some curry Grabbed on some bowls and perched onto the seat of my car, I put on my mask and wore my gloves, As I gave the food to deprived.   The smiles on their faces touched my heart, They were just like a healing balm, As it restored the old heart of mine, Marking the beginning of a new day with a new sign
