I felt suffocated, the air was thick with misery, and i stood there having my eyesight alternate between the gloomy sunken eyes of my parents, and the rage-rich beady eyes of the Pricipal… I was in a dilemma, whether to faint or cry my heart out. Sweat seeped erratically through my pores,  so did tears from the eyes of the other girls, running through their faces, white as snow….(Due to fear, of course ! ). Let's rewind to the night before, to get a hold of the situation here.😅 Hey there !  I am Ananya. Sorry for the sudden start of narration, couldn't stop myself as i relive those bone-chilling series of events. But , Hey, haven't we all have our fair share of tales ! I am going to just walk you through my experience of getting kicked out of my own hostel ! Badass for a girl of my upbringing, Am i right !!!

As He savoured his Last drink, And felt the last drop reach the Brink.. He looked up to the sky, and held his head high.. Praising the heavens, with  a teary-eyed cry....                            - Fulan       

Lá Amór....

Lá Familiá.......... Love Binds us all.... People ask,  why do you spoil people with your love, Why do you give it to the people who don't deserve it as much… T o them, I want to say  … I miss my Mom, thus I see my mother in all the teachers, women as aged as my mom and even more, as I miss the care she provided. I miss my Dad, thus my respect and love for all the professors, and all men who I look upon, is as much as I give to my Father, as I see a piece of him everywhere I go. I miss my Sister, which is why socialize and care for the girls who I connect with, those of all ages, for I crave the attention and her antics, and relive that experience. ( I don't wanna tell her that, but she loves when I admit her absence !….. ) I miss my little brother, and it is his absence I seek to dissolve, that void I wish to fill, when I show my love to my friends around me, but it does appear from time to time !.

Entrance Goosebumps ! 😅

 Cages of pets seemed more alluring to me as I saw those heads drowned in books.... The words "    LIBRARY " were etched above the door, but the people inside acted as those words were just for show ! .... Studyroom might have been an appropriate term, but in an attempt to disguise the stress feeding up in potential students, they might have thought to make it more pleasant.. But this was among the least of the depressing sights I would have to encounter in the coming days, but I thought that was gonna be it...   ( Boy, was I wrong  ! ) And then, I walked into the office... Money-counting Machines whirring as they estimated the wads of cash dunked on them. Timid students with parents brimming with hope, stood in line, patiently awaiting to pay the fees and aquire books and whatnot. The head of the institute was in another room, assuring everyone in sight that their children was capable of securing a seat in India's Top ranking colleges, and the only thing the

The story i wanna tell you, as always , starts with a picturesque seaside, with the waves hitting the sands with full glory.. This is the scenery we encounter as we come to an unlikely romance between a bird and a whale.. Kinda sounds weird, i know, but bear with me until the end !! It was heavenly..the love brewed between the sea and skies, and it seemed this unusual love was going to stand the test of time.. But sadly, it was not to be... One day, As all the whales in her pod left for warmer seas, one by one, Our whale inquired her lover whether he will accompany her in this  long journey. The bird was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine leaving the mountains and his beloved buds for seas unknown. He wasn't prepared to make  this decision, but He was also afraid to leave the love of his life and let her go.... They ultimately had to make a decision...To leave themselves to their own elements.. It only seemed practical to continue on their own separate journeys, as it
