Seasons Switched-2


Floral Desert

Heat of the desert evaporates
When the cacti are accompanied by a flowery fate
The breeze is pleasant
With Night Queen and Roses fragrant
The merry gold of Buttercups
Circle around the oasis in nubs
Camels make friendship with the spring bees
Going to a place like this is an opportunity I would seize



City of autumn

Nature replaces the cement forest
Leaves of oak and maple found on roads
Instead of smoky cars and a noisy fest

Overuse of technology is absent
For people live in tree houses
And enjoy a harmonious existence

Rosy and ginger 
Cozy coloured
Weather so mellow
Whoever lives in the City of Fall
Is a happy fellow

The Circle Of History

The Ancient Egyptian Tomb of Sheikh Abd el- Qurna cache holds riches of information for  archaeologists. Among the mess of the  mummies, it holds wooden pieces with names  of Princesses inscribed. Except that’s not what  they were called. “King’s Daughter” was the royal title of some  princesses, as though her identity was built by  using bricks of paternal power. Nebetia was one such daughter, born to  Prince Siatum. He was the son of Thutmose  IV, who remains preserved in the Valley of the  Kings. Her father has scarce documentation. And  yet, she carries a title derived from him. While  the endlessly captivating time of Ancient  Egypt was just to women for their time, this  nickname for a princess is a subtle head  turner. Maybe this concept is relevant even in today’s  world. Younger siblings scoff at being called  by their sister’s name because the teacher has  that child imprinted in t

Sweet Childhood

Every once in a while, I like to flip through old photo albums and watch those poor quality videos of my toddler self. It's quite an emotional experience. Some of it is hilarious-Ridiculous dancing to the wind, staring at the ground in betrayal because it didn't cushion me when I landed on it, hiding all the return gifts because I didn't want to give those shiny purses away. (I look like an evil goblin in that picture) There's one video where my hand is fractured. My mom is talking about how she's worried that my grandparents would be saddened if they knew. Little Priya then came up with a scheme.  "Let's lie to them, then. We'll say that we are having a blast, there are no injuries, we are eating cake," I say, my voice swaying. "So they'll feel happy and we will suffer in secret," I declare with the most pained expression a child can have.   How did my young mind come up with such ideas?  These captured memories

The Language of You

While I find a lot of fields fascinating, it's the artistic ones that particularly resonate with me.  Actors. When they embody another character, they have to dig deep within themselves in order to emote. We fall for all the movie magic, truly believing they actually are the part they are playing. Hating the face of an actor who played a ruthless villain is inevitable for most of us.  Painters unleash the creativity party thats going on within on canvas, singers allow their voices to speak their soul and a pianist finds freedom on a zebra coloured board.  What I'm doing right now, writing, is another example. It's yet another outlet of expression. Things you may be unable to say, you can write. Personally, whenever I overthink something, I write about it. And by the last paragraph, I always end up with a solution. Unlimited combinations of flavours and textures comprise a chef's life. There's a beautiful concept of balance in cooking-crispy and cr
