The Visage

The Visage

 

 Staring at my visage 

The world saw a bright face 

but do you know the darkness 

I faced

Do you dare to see the tears 

that spread across my face 

Do you see only when i am bright 

or do you see when i am blue 

Can you tell i'm screaming ?

 out for the help i need 

or i am just the silence 

of a winter night 

Do you see the cold knife 

that stabs my old life 

as i started living on the edge 

like a withered sedge 

Do you see unflawed me 

or do you see the broken me 

Do you see all pain 

or do you just see my pain

or do you just see my joy 

 Do you see what i have become 

in searching for one thing 

that would set my sad soul free 

Look into these eyes 

And dive into my soul 

And tell me am i a 

Shattered piece of glass 

                   or a stunning sapphire

Life in rural areas

By On
Life in rural areas   Far away from hustle and bustle, there are places where people still prefer living in the simplest way that disconnects them from all the distractions of the urban areas. The greenery of the rural suburbs is the ultimate beauty of the villages which sets them apart from other inhabitable places. Not only are the rural neighbourhoods quieter and more picturesque, but they also provide a better and improved quality of life. It has also been found that being more connected to the countryside can have a very positive impact on wellbeing, helping to improve the quality of life as the residents have nature and wildlife all around them. Wildlife is more frequently found in rural areas than in cities because of the absence of people and buildings.     The view of the herd of cattles grazing over the fields, the fishes swimming in the distinct ponds having lotuses protruding from t...

Dream’s End

By On
 I had a fever dream, of a utopian state A town with no slaves A city with no plagues A flawless place Somewhere I can feel free Where I can be the real me Where the crooks don't steal Where dreams aren't killed Where every obligation is fulfilled And lives are more than just red and blue pills Where the birds don't have to sing inside cages And love isn't just some ink on torn pages Where colors don't fade And we're not divided by borders or races And we don't have to read between the spaces And we're not forced to sing each other's praises Where the world is at peace Where heaven and earth meet A place where a perfect society could be. -Ayush Tripathi

12 Angry Men (Analysis of Underlying Themes)

By On
Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men tells the story of a jury of 12 men in charge of deciding the fate of a poor, young boy who had killed his father. The film opens in a courtroom with the defence and the prosecution presenting their evidence before the judge. After the oral pleadings, the jurors are instructed by the judge to retreat and determine the verdict. The judge also says that the jurors must return a 'not guilty' verdict if they find any reasonable doubt. From the beginning of the film, we can see that the jury room is split into two opposing sides: 'guilty' and 'not guilty'. Juror 8 and Juror 3 are the most significant characters as they are the only ones who vote not guilty and guilty respectively at the beginning of the film, thereby initiating the conflict. In a way, Juror 8 represents the boy's innocence while Juror 3 represents the boy's guilt. Although Juror 3 says that he is merely stating the facts of the case, which undoubtedly point to ...
