Thoughts that trigger

Cooking as a therapy: To me personally, cooking is more of a therapy than a regular activity. Every time I cook my favorite food, I feel so happy and peaceful. Cooking has been the best medicine for all my stressful days. Today, after my first exam, I felt that I should do something to make my mind calm. I just tried making lunch for my family; it's not like a usual day lunch, but I tried something different, and I ended up with the menu for the lunch. The menu for lunch is Mutton Biriyani, Chicken 65, Egg Masala, Raitha, and Brinjal Gravy. When I started, I thought I could not make it all by myself, but I made it possible, and my mom helped me in making it, and after I cooked, everyone was hungry already. They all tasted my biryani and other recipes; they all loved eating the food that I cooked, which made me so happy, and it's what I needed. Cooking is my favorite part, and if I really like someone, I will cook for them, which is my way of showing my love, and today was the h...

Sea The walk in the sea, The fresh breeze touches me gently. The blue sky is slowly turning dark. It was the evening view. The sea whispered the words of peace. I heard the sound of waves. The rolling waves touched my feet. Shore to sea, the sand stayed still. Healing by the sea and its site, I stood in my solitary, Saw two kids playing, Having built their sand house, That took me back to my childhood days. Walking a little more distance, A child pulled my dress. And wants me to join her hide-and-seek game. Ultimately I'm already playing it with life. Playing with her, I felt my inner child. Bittersweet memories of life, Still, the inner child is alive. I questioned, The waves touched with force. And woke me up from my thoughts, Made me think about the present moments. Long I stood in the sea, No thoughts to leave, Still gotta go, Continue with my goals in life. Bidding farewell to the sea, Hoping to have a day again, I left the sea today...

Grandfather, the guardian sent by God, Most of the time it's like a dream, It's been eighteen years since he left, Died when I was three years, I couldn't recollect any of my memories, That happened on that particular time, Expect his memory, I can remember the moments, Few video cliping resonates him in my mind, I still have that connection with him, Not in real but it surreal sense, Like a dream he lived, All call me by his name, And address me as his granddaughter, Which is so heartouching, Heart feels heavy when I think he cannot come back, But I feel his presence whenever I am sick, My mom had told me how he used to pamper me so much, He treated his daughter like a princess, A granddaughter like a queen, My eyes begs to see him atleast once, But situations changed everything, Thatha, I want to hold your hands and walk, I want to take you back to my school days, And I want to introduce you to my friends, I want to you to know how much I miss you, I always have asked amm...

My journey at Crescent University has always felt like being at home. Being a part of the department of English made this experience even more special. The three years of learning made me gain knowledge not just about literature but also learn life in a better sense.

Our department conducted various workshops, guest lectures, and theatre learning that helped us to develop professionalism and enrich ourselves in the professional space. ...

Listening without filters is one of the most important aspects of today. We have listeners all over, but few listen without filters, and few listen to us through filters. Make sure you listen without filters, which means listening without analyzing their character by their confessions, listening to them without judgments, listening without interrupting them with your stories, listening to them with full attention and involvement. You should make them feel comfortable to tell you anything they feel, listening to them without making points for gossiping. Listening is a skill, and when you start to listen to them, they heal from what they are going through. When they want to talk, just give them your whole self; don't ever try to question them by saying that the mistake is also in your part; instead, say, "Just get over it, and I am here for you." Make them feel valued about themselves. Today we find humans who listen, but ultimately they also judge or even use our confessio...
