Maithily's Scribblings

I went to Madurai to my aunt’s home, all alone… It was a nice experience, yet a boring one too. Train journeys are always the best mode of transport! My dad dropped me at the station and waited until the train departed. With a mix of fear and excitement, my journey began. The journey became lonelier and more boring as time went on. A lady sat next to me and slept the entire time. On the other side, a group of politicians were busy bribing the ticket examiner for confirmed seats. A few of them even fought over a chicken piece in the biryani! I took my favorite Lays (the green pack) with me and ended up buying six coffees on the train! I passed time listening to songs on my Samsung iPod (which technically wasn’t mine—it was a gift to my sister, but I’m the one who always uses it!). I reached Madurai at 8:30 PM, where my mama was already waiting for me, even before the train arrived! My dad waited until the train departed, and my mama was waiting before the train arrived—thus marking my s...

"Passion without action is of no use" is the quote that inspired me a lot! I love tigers and as an Indian citizen thought of doing something to save our nation's Pride. Tiger awareness at Sri Sankara Matriculation Higher Secondary School: Visit the link: http://yocee.in/show.php?table=schoolbuzz&id=140 At Lakshmipuram Children's Club: Visit the link: https://sites.google.com/site/lcsquaresite/events/saveourtigers-showtime

https://sites.google.com/site/lcsquaresite/events/saveourtigers-showtime LC Squares, a club for children, located at Royapettah was my target to spread awareness about tigers!!! 24th Sunday evening around 5.00 I showed the movie "The Truth about Tigers". After the movie, there was a fun activity! I conducted a small quiz for the children and they enjoyed it. The function ended with the National Anthem.

I joined my new office, WNS, on 14/10. The first day was fine—writing my name and address n number of times and finishing all the formalities. The next day, I reported for my shift at 12:00 PM and had absolutely no work to do! So, I took a break for a while and had coffee. My friend and I started chatting, and before we knew it, it was 1:30 PM—time for lunch! After lunch, we went back to chatting and discussing the process, the nature of work, and other random things. At 4:30 PM, we took another coffee break, had a sandwich and samosa, and continued chatting. By 8:00 PM, it was dinner time. After dinner, we went for a walk and explored what was in and around the office. Finally, at 9:30 PM, our shift was over, and I headed home—having done absolutely nothing useful at work! Working continuously for hours is tiring… but sitting idle for hours? That’s even more exhausting! Originally posted on 16-Oct-2010 Edited on 09-Feb-2025

I am not a science expert. In fact, I’ve always been scared of physics and chemistry. I had a tough time learning chemistry. My teacher and my mom used to tell me, "Anything learned practically will stay in your mind for a long time." So, I thought of learning physics and chemistry practically. I started experimenting with everything I could get my hands on—a screw, magnet, water, salt, spoon, egg, and even nail polish! One fine day, I was trying to apply nail polish, but it had dried up. I couldn’t get the polish out, so I decided to heat it because I remembered that we heat wax to melt it. I assumed nail polish must be made of wax too! Since my mom didn’t allow me to play with fire, I secretly stole a matchbox and went outside to experiment. I lit a matchstick and dropped it into the nail polish bottle. The flame went out instantly! "Ah! I discovered that nail polish doesn’t have oxygen! What a great discovery! I’ve become a little scientist!" I thought proudly. I...
