Poem: What Have We Done? - World Environment Day

Image
What Have We Done? The one who loves us like a mother Who is one-of-a-kind and like no other Giving shelter now and forever Our first home is our mother earth Why are we welcoming her with dirt?   For she doesn’t deserve the hatred In the form of negligence and our selfish acts From oil spills To pervasive smoke from mills From greenhouse gas emissions To detrimental chemicals   Ice caps melting are her tears The smoke and forest fires is her rage To the acid rain demonstrating her downcast in the cage How can we be so thankless?   It’s time that we change Save every water drop And not cut every crop To start another factory flop Skyrocketing destruction to the top What have we done to our sweet home? Come on let’s bring our actions to a STOP !! -Kavya Mehta

Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams....World Cup Time

Image
Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams Flags held high Exuberance unfurling through the sky Faces painted with stripes of saffron, white with a blue chakra and green on the side Heads held up high with pride And a spark in their eyes As the blue jersey wearers in themselves confide that lits up the eyeballs as the power flies to all and supplies   Glued to their TV sets day and night The young and the old with delight As the blue jersey wearers fight like a knight With all their might As the hope ignites and shines too bright Hoping for India to take another flight and reach new heights What a sight for all tonight!   Stadium run out of tickets Eyes glued on to sixes, fours and wickets And as the umpire will raise the finger The crowd will proclaim their ecstasy To view another wicket taken by our cricket team The arena will echo with shouts and screams     The 13 th cup edition And our team’s ambition A dream envisioned by all To grab

Poem: Faithful friendship...Happy friendship day!

Image
  Faithful friendship A feeling of blossom An everlasting connection That doesn't break with distance­­ But by the bonds of heart To express itself, it does not need a rostrum It is so unique and awesome   Friends are like pearls Which might tarnish but never lose value Pearls that don’t lie on the seashore For which you must dive to find   A friend in need is a friend indeed The saying you must have surely heard Is for the friend who is like curd Lightens all the spices and makes things sweet To have you complete   Leave the world behind For it says you have no friend true in time For the hatred it shows towards you To portray you are all alone so that you discontinue   ­­­Little does it know the inner self is the everlasting truthful friend That can soothe the bruise And never itself accuse   It's common to feel lonely And believe you've no buddies It's time you come out of this bubble And welcome your

Father's day

Image
Happy Father’s Day! Father’s day is celebrated on every 3rd Sunday of June. It is a day of honouring our fathers which gives us an opportunity to express our love and gratitude towards them and also encourages fathers to spend quality time with their children and instill them noble values and manners. Father’s Day is celebrated worldwide to recognize the contribution that fathers and father-figures make to the lives of their children. The day is held on various dates across the world and different regions maintain their own traditions of honouring fatherhood.  The presence and involvement of a father is unlike anything else in the universe. That’s because dads mimic what our heavenly Father does for us, His children—He protects, shelters, comforts and loves. "The most precious things a father can provide are time, attention and love." -Tim Russert.  Happy Father’s Day! -Kavya Mehta

The RBI Monetary Museum - A Collection of Monetary Treasure  Could you imagine living a life without money? Of course not, right? Money is a really crucial thing in today's world. It's not the most important thing but it is vital for a living.  Money is a current medium of exchange in the form of bank notes, coins or cash. Primarily, it has four functions :- 1) Medium of exchange  2) Unit of account  3) Store of value  4) Standard of Deferred payment  India was one of the earliest issuers of coins and is home to numerous monetary items.  Recently, I visited the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Monetary Museum which is located in Fort, Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is filled with tons of monetary items and information of how the monetary system developed. From the coinage with innumerable coins of different eras to paper money, mechanical and electrical calculators. From ancient cheques to the RBI book of the bank and descriptions of Governors of India. From how the barter system changed t

Mother – The Immortal Creation...Happy Mother's Day!

‘A mother is the god who is unreplaceable and the reason for the happiness in your life.’ -Kavya Mother – The Immortal Creation A mother is a mother You can’t justify her She is not the every other Thus, she is a god another Mother isn’t just a woman, She is a soulful feeling of unconditional love.   What she did for us, Will be unable to jot and you’ll be in a concuss. We all are indebted to her and will always be Cause we can’t fully accomplish this key From singing lullabies, to feeding us first, From trying to get us to sleep in her lap to ignoring her thirst. Whatever happens, she will keep us safe and face the worst She will burn her blood and get pierced, Just for the little one of whom she is mother.   Never disrespect your mother, Or treat her as every other Because she’s the one who has sacrificed her true self, And accepted her new motherly self rather. Don’t let her down who brought you up, Nor let yourself down by your actions
