Completion of 20 years of life - My birthday celebration and reflection to the past



Once again the time to celebrate my birthday is here, November 7th. Candles, cakes, wishes, decorations, and that charm that I sense each time on this very day every year. The smell of different recipies, the CHOCOLATE cake, sweets and all. There is something magnificient, and beautiful, my heart skips a beat, in a moment of delight. I feel excited and enthusiastic throughout the day. The day glows, everything seems to be so perfect. The cool gust of wind, the uncertainty and mysteriousness of life. The warm sunshine and the hope and love that it brings. I notice things that I take for granted. I feel a sense of gratitude for the life I'm living.

I always wonder about the human exsistence on Earth, how did we originate? How was our universe created? It's all a mystery. It's fascinating to think about the future that lies ahead. I've grown more curious and more fond to find things out, to research, to learn and to explore the world I live in. I'm still a child-like person that wants answer for every little thing.

I'm quite astonished sometimes, for the efforts I put in my academics. I feel the sense of passion to reach the top, to climb the highest mountain, to be someone that people look up to. I know nobody can be the absolute best in what they do, but I try. I give my time for things I love to do, and people that mean a lot to me. There is no "losing" for me, nor the "second position", I'm so obessed with doing all I can to outshine others.

During the time from november 7, 2013 to today, november 7,2014, I have gone through a lot of experiences, learning and achievements. I 've had the highest moments of my life, and the lowest ones. There were times when I was fed up with some things, and then I got myself back up because we have to accept the truth and be okay with what we have. The worst moment was the best moment, I just couldn't see through it.

I lost, and I found. I got to reach out to the wishful thoughts I had all the past years. I'm so happy because the people who love us truly, never really stop loving us. Things get in between, everything falls apart but things that are precious, remain precious. I remember all the people that I know in my life and have interacted with, family, relatives, friends, and others. Every memory of them makes me smile, no matter how insignificant events have happened, even the bad ones, I take it positively.

Over the years I've been this positive beacon of life, and now, starting from this very day, I even feel hopeful, back on track, and fighting for my dreams. There are so many things I want to achieve, and there's presumably very little time. My top ambitions are to be recognized as an International Author and also to finish my PhD on Major English(I love literature, it's my life). I've learnt to live in the "present" and just focus on what I can do now, than reminicse about what I could have done in the past or what I can do in the future. We can only receive the best of life when we think in the moment, the present.

There are so many things to be grateful for. My family have been an immense amount of support for everything I do. I have friends who inspire me and love me for who I am. I am not the "best- all perfect" friend, I've got flaws, but some have been there for me through everything. It feels great to have a bunch of friends to goof around with, to laugh, to joke and do silly things.

My life just seems to be a wonderful mix of everything. I really don't lack anything. I keep moving ahead, breaking the records, being better, and improving in every step of life.

A little quote by me.. " You can do anything you want to do, pick the positive point of view, and always strive to work better, to be smarter, and to achieve higher than you ever have."

I'm 21 years old today. Happy Birthday to me :D

Imaginative Representation on "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

Wordsworth’s poem “I wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is a reflective poem in which he expresses the joy after taking pleasure of the beauty of the daffodils. He starts off as talking about the loneliness he faces and vows to remember the scene of daffodils again whenever he falls into sadness because they induce the feeling of happiness and rejoice in him. This poem was composed in the early 19 th century.  It is highly influenced by the Romanticism. This poem raises the imaginative issues such as human-nature relation, elevation of natural objects, reflective approach and sublimity/eternity. Man and nature are shown to be in harmony in the poem. Through the use of reverse personification, the poet transcends into feeling like a wandering cloud. In further description, we find the personification of daffodils as if they are humans who “dance” in the breeze. The concept of unity among the people and the terrestrial objects are found in the theory put forth by Von Schelgel. He says...

Emotive Function of Language in Lawrence’s “Spring Funeral”

“The Spring Funeral” is an excerpt taken from” The White Peacock”, the first novel of D.H Lawrence. The novel was written in 1906 but finally published in 1911 after three revisions. It is narrated in the first person by a character named Cyril Beardsall. The spring funeral takes place in the chapter 2 “The shadow in spring”. This particular section, is a pastoral elegy, that raises the issues propounded in Emotive Theory by I.A. Richards, such as valorization of nature, synasthesia, human sensibility and organicity. In the description of spring funeral, the writer like a painter, depicts the early spring season with the vibration of the non-human world, the birds like larks, thrush, lapwings and the black-legged lamb. All the animals seem to be intoxicated by the magnificent morning and feel the thrill. The natural scenes of hazels, sallow trees and pale wind-flowers portray the gloom. In Emotive theory by I.A. Richards, he gives emphasis on the nature and its effects in the life...

The Catwoman (Short Story)

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could get the person whom we love most? What if love was easy to get? What if we didn’t have to love someone secretly? I wish things would work out with a girl I love. She’s the definition of perfection. She’s my ultimate dream, which I see every time. She’s the catwoman. She’s not a superhero but she’s a super girl in my life. But I’m too shy to tell her. My friends tease me a lot. I tell them that I have the confidence to speak with her, but no, I really don’t.  I’d rather use my ninja skills to stalk her whenever I can. My pen rolls off the desk as I daydream about her. I am having an exam. Curiously, I’m done with it already, just on time. I hand over the answer sheets to the invigilator and walk out. I meet my friend, and I tell him my plans to wait for my crush to come out of the hall. We stand outside, from where we can see all the people coming out of hall. I’m fidgeting with my feet. I look around. I’m already feeling anxious before I see h...
