ENTITY


Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you react to it. ---Charles R Swindoll

          

ENTITY

I sit near the wide window,

staring into the soulless sky,

sinking into my thoughts,

I just ask why, why and why.

 

Stuck in a dilemma,

Just one thing comes to my mind,

Life is a different story for you and me

Distinct problems for mankind,

I console myself by remembering this key

 

No one knows what I think,

No one knows what problems I face,

But I can just tell that

Life is an unknown game

 

It is filled of ups and downs,

A Ladder to climb and to come down,

An Infusion of Forlornness and Elation,

That’s all what makes it LIFE – the unique creation.

Media and Misinformation POEM: Shadows of Doubt

Image
Shadows of Doubt Shadows creep where truth once stood A labyrinth of lies where truth is concealed Thronging with info The net’s just like a cotton-filled pillow I just don’t know what’s right what’s wrong Will this trap continue lifelong?   I feel so helpless So uninformed or rather I’d say misinformed That I’m being stormed It leaves me feeling like I don’t know who to believe   My worry deepens day by day Why do we have to pay For the evil and political intents Of the media presidents Who unfurl a curtain on the turn of events To merely disorient and create dents In the society resulting in immense torments   Be it the media traditional or social Biases are on the way Ranging from political to algorithmic Why are we being targeted and trapped In the relentless war of profits rhythmic     If we’re misinformed How can we understand the world around us? This is not fair But if we can’t change the world ...

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” This quote by Mark Twain has proved to be truer than ever before. In today's digital world, false information spreads rapidly, causing real-world harm. From misleading headlines to outright deception, fake news poses a significant challenge. The consequences can be severe, including eroding trust and dividing communities. A study at MIT reveals that fake news spreads more faster, deeper and broadly than the truth. The truth rarely spreads beyond a 1000 people whereas the most contentious fake news in their sample regularly spread between 1000 and a 100 thousand people. Another revelation was that humans were more likely to spread fake news than the truth compared to bots. For instance, misinformation about COVID-19 caused serious harm. Over 6,000 people were hospitalized and at least 800 died in the first three months of 2020 alone due to false informa...

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
