In mercy of the waves- By Sanjana Saji Nair

 Even a single day without proper food and shelter would be like a nightmare to us. But these men, spending more than a month in the sea not knowing what will happen the next moment was indeed really audacious. Little did that team with nine members knew that they would get stuck in the middle of the roaring waves for the next 56 days of their life. Everything that was possible to sustain their lives slowly started getting exhausted. Without any connection with the world outside, they remained the boat watching death nearing them. But at last their sincere hope and prayers took them to the land where they saw God's presence. Unfortunately the one who was called the daredevil of the group was not there to accompany them. His dareness took him to the depths of the sea. The rest, see this as their second life that they got as a blessing from the saviour above.

MIRROR - By Fathima Heena Hasmi

The only time that she remembered herself was when she saw her reflection in the ‘mirror’. She remembered her happy childhood days when she used to play with her barbie doll and shared her thoughts with it. But during each stage of her growth the society started to judge her. They found mistakes in everything that she did. There were the society’s influence behind each and everything that she did. She did her best to be an ideal teen, but no one noticed her efforts except her parents. And then she decided “let the world say whatever they want”! And then she realised that, the first thing to do to stay happy is that to stop thinking what others say about her. The realisations that she made were: it’s okay to be imperfect, it’s okay to be independent, it’s okay to choose a different subject to study, it’s okay to choose her career by herself, it’s okay to travel alone, it’s okay to hangout with her loved ones, it’s okay to dress-up the way she wants, it’s okay to be skinny/chubby, it’s o

Little Things - By Liya Bobby

In today’s fast paced world, I believe we tend to forget to live for ourselves. We are pushed and forced to run with the pace, and so we do. But honestly if we think, what are we going to gain for pushing our lives like this? Are we seizing the day? Are we making it count? Are we living it to the fullest? Every night before you go to bed, is there something special your mind alerts you, that you could have done? Or even you should do in the future? I’ll tell you, that is your heart’s desire, which is something you should chase after. The world has been running at its fast pace chasing money, fame and comfort for long and it is not under our control. What we can do is to make a choice, a choice to run a little behind and enjoy what our Earth has offered to us while we can. Let us abandon our grudges and hate and focus on positivity and spreading love because life is too short to hold grudges against our foe.  We should take time to look at the serene blue sky, observe the green leaves a

A Life in the Sunshine by Nandanalakshmi M

The great bursts of leaves, its nascent luster  Along with the embellished blue azure; It emanates those evocations again and again  world I always aspired as a permanent fixture. Those days were never cognate to my dispatched bustles,  Just something with a life, full of gaieties. A blistering and blissful summer, which induces infinite remembrances beyond any bounds. My grandparents waited impatiently for my arrival with the whole house and garden being ready and stabilised;  And when I reached, I saw a flare in those eyes, Out of an intense serenity when the most awaited guest comes. We mention summer to be a riot time, or  An extraordinary daylight savings time But for me, it was all secured to heal the wounds  By the occult power of nature for mending minds I enjoyed those delightfully rich desserts grandma made  And taught my grandpa those sensational Snapchats! I had days to restore my childhood with cousins,  With cat’s cradle, peekaboo and hopscotches. We explored the tailor-
