Old poem

I was cleaning my Google Drive a couple of days back, and found this poem, which I wrote in VII grade. This doesn't necessarily mean that I write better now. :p

 That was my first and last attempt at poetry. Here it goes.

The plight of Earth


 Started with a blob of nebula
involving thousands of celestial phenomena
A gift of God to nature
which took long to mature

 No land no sea only fire
I was like this, can you admire?
Full of lava and hot matter
Which left everything to shatter

 This continued for millions of years
which wet God's eyes with tears
His tears were not in vain
As he sent them to me in the form of rain

 As more time progressed
my surface got significantly improved
It became cooler
And contained inorganic minerals as proved by Miller

 Life in the form of bacteria appeared
Followed by which, complex ones emerged
And then the grace of God and water
made more and more of them to appear

 Ultimately the most dangerous one came
which only cared for their name and fame
Neither dino, nor chimpanzee nor any other living thing
he was the selfish human being.
I took care of them as my children
and supplied them every form of mineral
Also donated all sorts of energy
stored by me since my existence

 But those heartless creatures
bared me from my green cover
And also my melting ice caps, for which they are responsible
Can they rejuvenate them again? Is it possible?

 They shattered me to fulfill their needs
But I can't forgive them for their deeds
This is a clear betrayal from their side
which might result in their loss.

 This is my message to all humans
that wake up and save me.
Because if my present is worse
How can your future be better?

I've been cooking food since a couple of years now, ranging from a full Indian menu to a simple one-off filling dish. This is my first attempt at noting down a recipe on a blog!

Movie review - Spiderman - Homecoming

Image
Marvel has come out with yet another awesome movie, now with my second most favorite (a close second to IronMan) in the Marvel multi-verse - Spiderman. It was a very fresh and modern reboot of Spiderman, with a brilliant performance by Tom Holland! It is aptly named, "homecoming", and they couldn't have welcomed back the super hero in the Avengers space in a better way! I will give the movie a solid 8.5 / 10 . It was an entertaining movie throughout, and I found myself rooting for the 15-year-old Spiderman the entire time! The movie hit all the correct notes for me (more details below). Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched the movie, and care about spoilers, stop reading now! +1 - No background story We all know how Spiderman came to be. We have seen it in two movies! This movie doesn't focus on that part, which gives it a lot of room to develop the character of Peter Parker otherwise! No more uncle Ben's sad accident or the accidenta...

What is it like to grow up in a typical Gujarati household?

(Cross posted on my Quora profile ) I have written this post from a general Gujarati household perspective. However, there is a huge bias towards how I was brought up. So, please don't generalize it to all Gujjus. And comments are welcome! :) Food Breakfast or school tiffin includes  thepla, khakhra, fafda-jalebi, poha  and  upma . My mom would rarely give me something which is not homemade (bread, etc). Lunch has a typical north Indian meal but has its own unique taste and texture. Thin  rotis,  sweet  daal , a couple of vegetable curries, curd / buttermilk, and a  farsan  (Gujarati snack, generally fried).  Farsan  can include  patra, dhokla, bhajiya, gota , etc. Evening snacks can have either of the  farsan . Dinner is usually light, and depends on the household. Some might have lunch menu all over again, or otherwise simple stuff like  khichdi, vesan , etc or non-gujju food like  pav bhaji, idli, dos...
