Aarvi Writings

Have you ever faced a situation wherein you think that it is all fine and good in your head but all it takes is just one picture of them and you'd definitely spiral back? You'd go back so much that you'd get lost and all you would ever want is to bring that person back into your life. But what do you do when that person is no more on Earth? Its almost midnight right now and yes, you guessed it right, it was a photo that made me write this but what do you do when something drives your sleep away? I keep myself sane and all good in my head but why does it always happen that it just takes one photo of you and I got back to that same day. Out of all the time that we have spent together, I don't know why but there is something about that day that keeps popping up in my head and that is somehow the only memory I can associate with you. Maybe it was one of the best days we spent together, one of those days wherein I was the happiest I had ever been or maybe as a child I c...

Hello to all of those who chose to read this article even after reading the title. Despite the government - both state and central, issuing us various warnings and doing their best in implementing the countermeasures possible, we still fail to understand the gravity of the current situation and that is the reason I thought of curating the posts not just based upon on Whatsapp forwards but also real factual data. We all know that India stands second when it comes to the race of the population preceded by China and followed by the United States of America. However, we all know the names of the major countries that have been severely affected by the Coronavirus aka COVID-19. So I just tried to list down all the countries with their current population count -  China - 1,439,323,776 India - 1,380,004,385 US - 331,002,651 Italy - 60,461,826 This is how the countries rank in terms of population and all of these have actually been affected by the virus. Now, let us also tak...

To begin with a very happy republic day to all of us who have been such an amazing audience to all the drama that has been unfolding in our country for so long. Kudos to all of us for that. This republic day gets along with itself a bittersweet feeling in my heart. A feeling that makes me feel like we have mocked our constitution enough now and the words like democracy or republic are slowly losing their meaning anyway. Recently, there had been a surprising turn of events and I have watched more patriotic movies than the genres I prefer watching usually. All of it has just made me ponder about one big question that why did we fight all those battles? With what motive did our ancestors think that we deserve ‘azadi’? Beginning right from the time when we have been invaded and exploited so much by the Mughals that they bestowed us with the status ‘Sone ki chidiya’. We laid golden eggs and we were and are one of the most fertile regions that exist on the planet. We needed leade...

Hello everyone. This post was not meant to be typed but with each passing day, the ruckus we are creating compels me to write this post. We, as a country, have been protesting too much recently against the introduction of the new bill, CAB ( Citizenship Amendment Bill). The more time I spend on all the social media sites, the more I realize how there are two sides of a coin. And apparently, each one of us has picked up a side.  It is either favored or unfavored. The aftermath that has been going on is not even surprising me anymore. We see each post that has been put up related to CAB with the same perspective as the side we chose to be on. Can we look at both sides and then decide which side should we actually be upon? I'M NOT GOING TO CHOOSE FOR YOU. IT IS YOUR CHOICE.  Favor of CAB:- CAB is a bill that would guarantee citizenship to the immigrants from 3 countries that already reside in India on or before 31st December 2014. However, there is a particular religion b...

This is just going to be a vent it out all post so if you feel that this was harsh or ruthless, I may or may not be sorry. All the above images are the notifications or stories that I have received from one of the news apps within a duration of 24 hours. Yes, it is so hard to believe that 24 hours and this is how we are progressing in our country. The contradiction here is so strong, on one hand, there is Padmashri Sudha Murthy coming up on the Indian national television and motivating her vision of empowering the females of the country and on the other hand, this is how our fellow citizens are treating females in our country. We have the media covering all the news related to the high profile cases like Ram Lala and Babri Masjid but unfortunately only one of the rape news makes it to the corner under 50 words section of our newspapers. All the media channels covering the whole political drama in Maharashtra and if not this then being head over heels in love with displa...

I know that seems like a really fun title and you won't believe me but I did buy a tee with literally the same written on it. I don't think a major part of you guys know but I had been on a trip to Leh-Ladakh and that is exactly what today I am going to post on. You don't need to have your bags packed and yet I'd take you on a journey that'd make you wish for having your bags packed and running off to Leh. First things first, this wasn't a planned trip. This happens for most of the trips I take recently upon choosing a career in engineering. I choose not to post the itinerary of the trip here but in case you need mine for the referral purposes, you could drop a mail and I'd happily send it to you. Let me put this out there, I was scared for taking this trip. Yes, I was extremely scared and worried when we were putting the plans for this trip into execution. This was due to 2 reasons:- 1. I was going to be traveling with my family i.e. my mom and dad. ...
