    View all responses

    A perfect reading space lies down the corner of the hall, adjacent to the garden outside. With a patio back door that directly connects to the garden, this reading room is designed for tranquility and inspiration. The room features a diverse collection of books spanning different genres from decades.

    I envision the room to be designed in a classic style, utilizing resources sourced from the same land. The aesthetic will seamlessly blend with the surroundings, creating a harmonious and timeless atmosphere. Additionally, I’d love to incorporate some greenery inside, cultivating plants right outside the back door to enhance the natural ambiance of the reading space.

  • Here’s why I play Candy Crush Saga, the reasons will surprise you

    “Candy Crush Saga” is a go-to for me, especially when I need time to think or concentrate. I often find myself playing it before diving into work. The game is both fun and distressing, particularly when I cfunan’t conquer a level. It adds a layer of challenge, testing my ability to strategize my next move.

    I’ve been indulging in this game for nearly three years now, and just 30 minutes ago, I was at it again. While consistency is a challenge in my workplace, with limited time to play, I seize the opportunity whenever a moment arises.

    The game not only serves as a source of entertainment but also acts as a quick mental break. It allows me to unwind and refocus, making it an integral part of my routine whenever I can spare a few moments.

  • Is it Truly as Simple as ABC?

    Is it truly as simple as ABC, as the saying goes? I distinctly remember struggling immensely to learn how to write the ABCs. It’s not just my own experience; observing young children grappling with the task underscores the difficulty of mastering the English alphabet. This challenge persists even among educated individuals well-versed in literature. So, why do we say “as easy as ABC” and not “as tough as ABC” or “as complicated as ABC”? The bias in this world, from the beginning to the end, is a perplexing aspect.

    As one of my college professors, particularly from the Political Science department, used to emphasize, “We are born with politics, live in politics, and carry it until our last day.” These words echo a truth about the omnipresence of politics in our lives.

    Allow me to express a few lines in my dialect, “Khipana khipali machong mei manem mei mana kachi li khipana ya chi paira? Ringkapha mirin wui shongza khangakhui hili kachipana kachangkhat eina ngakhui zatli doh? ” This underscores the challenges and intricacies embedded in existence.

    Indeed, it’s a competitive world where survival of the fittest reigns. Among billions, a handful live seemingly indifferent to the value of life. Half the population believes money is everything. Meanwhile, billions struggle tirelessly to bring sustenance home, while some grapple with the pressure of overcoming debts, and others rest beneath the weight of debts accumulated from people.

    Life, in its essence, is both unfair and just. The promises of truth prevailing, peace reigning, and justice being rewarded sound comforting, envisioning better days. Yet, are these promises mere notions one must patiently await to manifest in their lives?

    Unanswerable questions loom large, a shared uncertainty. Above all, the beacon that people ardently pursue is that of HOPE. It conquers the atrocities of life, washing away the bitterness of endless tears. I hope, one day, a brighter future will dawn.

  • How to unfolds life through first experiences

    Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

    Every living being undergoes first-time experiences, ranging from birth and the journey into maturity to eventual demise. Life unfolds through a series of inaugural moments, shaping our perceptions and understanding.

    The first time, for me, isn’t always pleasant; at times, it’s embarrassingly uncomfortable, prompting a desire to escape and hide from the world. However, some initial experiences are profoundly touching, etching themselves into my memory like a photo stored not only in the gallery but also in the cloud.

    Despite the varying nature of these experiences, they collectively contribute to our growth and evolution, propelling us to become better versions of ourselves. It’s crucial to recognize that the fear of new experiences can hinder our personal development and prosperity. Embracing the unfamiliar is a catalyst for learning and self-improvement.

    Moreover, it’s essential to discern when to face challenges head-on and when to exercise caution. Making informed choices requires the wisdom gained from lessons learned during our initial experiences. These lessons equip us with the knowledge needed to navigate life’s complexities and make sound decisions.

  • Childhood Cartoon

    What’s your favorite cartoon?

    When we were young, we didn’t have a TV, so we rarely got to watch it, let alone a TV series. Even when we did watch, it was from the CD player, as the villagers didn’t have a signal to connect or a place to subscribe to channels. The one channel I remember was Tom and Jerry. We would run to our neighbors’ places to watch it and sometimes even had to contend with the elders for the channel, as they were uninterested in watching it. We were teenagers back then. I vividly remember the joy and laughter we shared with our cousins and talked about it after the show.

    Gone are the days when we’d watch over three rupees dried Mattar and 50 paise sweets. We would quarrel about eating too much and too fast, not sharing with the others. We would also trick the younger ones into eating more than them—haha. Reminiscing about it gives me nostalgia. Thanks for this daily prompt topic.
