What’s on my playlist?

Colors-Halsey I like this song a lot, love the way Halsey uses colours to represent that person, their personality. My favourite lines- You were red, and you liked me 'cause I was blue. You touched me and suddenly I was a Lilac sky, and you decided purple just wasn't for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGulAZnnTKA Wild-Troye Sivan I love …

On wheels, in nature

  Skin sweaty and knees tired Still I go on cycling the roads Birds and grasshoppers chirping Monkeys gibbering and wind blowing I listen to the sound of nature More beautiful than any song I have heard   I go on and on in the mother earth Wheels moving and me beaming I come across …

Things we leave behind

Many times I find myself wondering what are we living for? One day we will cease existing and all our grades, our gossips, our laughs will not matter. This led me to wonder what matters after we are dead, what are we leaving behind? One thing I know for sure is that Life goes on. …

A night without electricity

My sister and I spent some days at my cousin sister's house, this is the account of 1 day of it, more specifically 1 night- after dinner at around 11:00 pm the lights and fans went off. 11:00 pm- Electricity went off, my cousin sister and I started playing 'Chain reaction' game on my sister's phone. …
