A Teacher

-

 The one who waters our roots with the elixir of knowledge is a teacher.


The one who is beyond all kinds of discrimination is a teacher.


The one who taught us discipline, punctuality and virtues is a teacher.


A teacher is like a parent.

They take care of us.

And they made us who we are.


Everyone and everything around us is a teacher.

Because life is all about living and learning.


The one who guides us is a teacher.

The one who taught us everything unconditionally is a teacher.


I bow down to you with utmost gratitude.

Thank you for being my teacher.

The True Meaning of Light

-
I have never seen the ocean But, I have seen the sky. The infinite sky represents The unfathomable ocean And the bottomless ocean reflects The beginningless sky. The deeper we go into an ocean And rise high in the sky More darkness arise. The deeper we go into ourselves, More darkness we invite. Only this darkness can teach us The true meaning of light.  - Saloni Bajaj

In our society, where the value of the dollar, petrol and deisel are rising, the value of life is near to zero. Life, now, has become so worthless, for some, that people gave up on it without a prior thought. Life is life and it is the most precious thing which is provided to us by the Almighty.

Why does a person add up to the present suffering by giving up on her/his life? The chief causes of suicide are, depression; overexpectations of others; end of a love relation; toxic relationships; substance abuse; poor academic score; and so on. There are many other reasons for committing such an act. Why do one try to take her/his life? Why suicide is always seen as an easy answer to all the problems? The questions are infinite but the answer is one. We cannot know what a person is going through, becau

Book Review: 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho

After a wait of nine years, finally, I read this gem named ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho. My reading journey began with two novels, when I was in 9th grade. The first one was Bram Stoker’s Dracula and the other was Paulo Coelho’s The Witch of Portobello. Then I came across Coelho’s one of the greatest works that is The Alchemist .  My desire to read this book was otherworldly. I wanted this very book and struggled a lot to get it. It might seem bizarre but I found this book nowhere. I searched libraries, bookstores, even asked some of my friends but something was stopping me from reading it because either the novel was out of stock or sometimes unavailable, or sometimes out of budget. Then, there came a time when I was a non-reader for almost 5 years. Fortunately, in January this year, I bought this book and I was jumping with joy, but I couldn’t read it due to a busy schedule. I read it during lockdown (due to the pandemic) in June. One thing which was always there in my heart was
