Poetry

As soon as the night falls by
The celestial abode comes out of the veil
Revealing the untold mysteries of the sky
Showing its dazzling beauty to the eye
Amidst these dark clouds can be seen
The jovial stars and their glitter so clean
The look of the pale gray ground
Shone them bright with a mystical sound
The sparkle, the glitter, the shimmer, the shine
A desire for it to be all mine
Though my heart yearns for it my mind knows thisThe contrariety between reality and dream still poses

where have they all gone?????????

Where have they all gone?????? This is the question that comes to my mind when I realise that I can no longer see the little sparrows that chirped in the backyard of my house. Every morning it was a welcome sight to see these little birds twitter around. In the last three years I have not seen them at all. Honestly speaking I really miss them and their twitter and chirp. It was only later that I got to know that these little birds are affected by the unseen radiations emitted out of our cellular phones. Even today when I go trekking or college study trips and see these little sparrows it gives me a strange happiness to know that they still exist just that they no longer want to live in the city. These little sparrows have been such good silent teachers who teach us the way of life.

Another bird that I haven’t seen for a long time is the vulture. I know a lot of people find the bird extremely ugly but it always fascinated as a kid and it fascinates me even now. Today these bald headed natural scavengers are standing on the brink of extinction. It is very sad that we are responsible for the extinction of these birds. Lets make an effort to save the natural scavengers.

College trips are such great fun

College trips are great fun. These are called as study tours but its much more than study tours. These tours give us a chance to relax and have fun from the otherwise hectic schedule that we follow. And yes these one day or two day tours are a welcome break for students like us who are always worried about submitting the assignments on time.
We had one such trip to beautiful waterfalls called Shivganga Falls. Shivganga falls is nestled in Sirsi district in Karnataka, though it is quite far away from the city it is one of the most delightful sights for nature lovers. The falls looks great from the distance but its beauty is hard to describe as you near the waterfalls. Surrounded by a beautiful thicket of trees of all hues and colour its an extremely relaxing sight to see.


The Shivganga falls nestled among the trees. This awesome place makes us realise that we are just a speck of dirt compared to Nature.

This place is a great place to hike. To see the falls from a closer view we have to walk down and the experience of walking amidst huge trees and big huge rocks is truly great.
The path is not easy to walk and is not for the weak-hearted as the pathway has lot of steeps. It’s a trekker’s paradise.
