A Notion on Nature [Sonnet]

The scattered clouds with a spark of sunshine Landscape with existence inter twined Loud drumming sound of heart beats aligned An elongated mellifluous grape vine Ephemeral crystalline cascade design Somnolent susurration that remind Ebullien t persistent wind springs to mind , And the days under the golem Skyline A sordid narcissistic monstrous outcry Threatens to devastate our ways of life Vacuums Ecclesiastical nature world dry When we empty outpouring vault, we resort to knife Thus, it shall be too far behind to mend or try And the fleeting mankind clash into strife (Italian/Petrarchan sonnet with Iambic Pentameter) Written by Sristi :-) #WW#Poetry#Creative Meanings: Intertwine = twist or twine together. Elongated = unusually long in relation to its width. Mellifluous =  filled with something (as honey) that sweetens Ephemeral =  lasting for a very short time.

A Love That Resurrects Me [Poem]

Past love, Past romance Nothing special Nothing endearing Than the majestic love you bestow Your love seeps into my soul And lights me up Like the glimmer of a thousand stars And leaves a aromatic scent of ecstasy A loyalty that lingers Despite my rude and selfish reasons A heart that gets injured But radiates a warm glow When you decide to leave I will be the world’s poorest For I have lost, the precious treasure - A love that resurrects me A love that resurrects me by Sristi #Kitkat #HunnyBoo

My Experience of Nepal Earthquake 2015

I had heard often about the earthquake that happened back in 1934 in Nepal. Yes, it was the most devastating natural disaster to take place. And we were kind of expecting for a big earthquake like that to happen again. It was already predicted to happen after several decades later. So, it took place again after 82 years. 1934's earthquake was of 8.1 magnitude while 2015's , recent one is of 7.8 magnitude. It was bit less magnitude than the one of 1934 but it did bring a lot of destruction and chaos. It was April 25th. I had woken up very early that morning to study for my exam, I woke up around 3 am and prepared. I attended my exam at 7 am. Then later I returned home. The time was 11:30, I was relaxed at my home, I drank a glass of juice and laid down to rest for a while. Then at 11:56 am, suddenly I could feel everything around me shaking. I knew immediately that it was an earthquake. This was my 3rd experience of earthquake in Nepal. But none were violent like this one. I r...

Are standardized tests good way to measure student's mastery of course material?

I extremely disagree that standardized tests are good option to evaluate the student’s knowledge of the course material. Are standardized tests fair and helpful evaluation tools? Do tests reflect current knowledge about how students learn? Do multiple-choice or short-answer tests measure important student achievement? Are test scores "reliable"?Test driven, or force-fed, learning can not enrich and promote the traits necessary for life success. John Holt, in his essay “School is bad for children” says that school makes the student less curious and less resourceful. I agree with this point because  before children start their formal education, they are more independent and likely to be creative. The school makes them think in a monotonous way, by instilling the lie that, they should follow the standard steps and the test scores are what really matter. Besides that, John Holt argues that school enforces the idea on students that being wrong is crime and they should only run a...

Despicable Impostress

She’s the typical kind of girl you’d see. All drawn out and colorfully coated into the divulging atmosphere and circumstances of real life. She seems on the outside to be a competitive, talented and intelligent girl who can pull off anything bravely but inside, she’s someone else. She knows quite well that she is making others believe what she is not, but it doesn’t seem to bother her at all. Others around her buy her lies too, and get charmed by her little hop, skip and a jump.  She wants to appear dauntless and sophisticated. Her appearance is noteworthy. She ties her hair into pigtails. She’s always dressed-up in feminine colors, like pink, purple or vermilion. She has a funny accent. She snorts loudly when she finds something humorous. She has a pale complexion and handful of freckles on her face. She lets loose of the curls in the front part of her face, hiding the clear vicinity of her face, and the deep blue eyes. The sparkles in her eyes always seem to be dancing a melodi...

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

Image
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-...

Techies Guide (DotA 2) by Sristi

Image
This is my first DotA 2 guide, but I have played fair amount of games and have tried different heroes. I've been playing techies a lot since he was introduced into DotA 2 recently. People have that general view thinking that Techies is a useless hero and they try to talk people out of playing it. Techies is a very tricky hero to play, a person who can't play him well will make his team lose the match. The perspective has changed a bit these days because of the videos on YouTube where the best players have played Techies and shown that they can also be as good as any other hero, and sometimes, better than most. Let's talk about cons and pros of playing Techies. Cons: > You can't really participate in ganks with your team, especially in early and mid game. > You will be countered a lot if enemy team has sentry wards or Gem of True Sight. > He has very bad movement speed. > He is squishy with very less hp. > Very hard to farm because of his ...
