Heritage


 Heritage is a mirror

Which reflects upon the past

And throws light onto

The deeds of those who

Passed down the world to us.

 

Heritage is an aggregate

Of sentiments;

A patriot’s love for her nation,

A leader’s word of benevolence,

The voice of a thousand souls…

 

Heritage is a symbol

Of the success of many destinies

Standing as a figurine

Showing hand-in-hand to many,

The pathway to the future.

 

Heritage is a book

Whose leaflets contain history

And the wisdom of those

Who shaped society as we know

Bound within the four walls of paper.

 

Heritage is a melody.

Whose tunes have propagated

Across millennia

Spreading ideas of peace

Harmony, kindness and love.

 

Heritage is a monument

To great achievements unmatched

To regimes of years bygone

And a window to the ambitions

Of the citizens there so lived.

 

Heritage is a treasure chest,

Filled with golden culture,

And traditions studded with silver,

Sitting untouched, unseen,

To the blinded eyes of most.

 

Heritage is a tender child

The hope of creating the future

But soft; delicate, hoping

To be caressed in the motherly

Arms of society

Sport & the Allure of the Comeback

Sport & the Allure of the Comeback  Make no mistake about it, the immediate motivation behind writing this piece was the recent masterpiece of an innings handcrafted by the king of his craft, Virat Kohli. It was an innings forged in the most intense of flames - those of pressure and scrutiny, under which many before him have crumbled. In a match against Pakistan, where emotions always ride high, this innings was nothing short of an experience. It is hard to do justice to it with mere words.  And yet, as this experience unfolded and culminated in that sweet, sweet way, I wondered - why this innings ? I cast my mind back to around six years ago. The same player, yet there he was, knocking off centuries every other match and whipping chases akin to this one over midwicket for fun. It was great to watch, sure. Yet, what was it that made me only stupefied back then, and yet emotional and moved today?  It brings to the fore for me, one of the most alluring, and perhaps mo...

5 Things Which Defined My JEE Journey

A fundamental question I thought about before writing this post was – “What will someone take away with them after reading this?” It is a tricky question, because there are hundreds, if not thousands of similar posts, scattered across blogs, QnA sites and YouTube channels. Each gives in complete detail which books to use, how many hours to put in, what is considered ‘enough’ for JEE. There are also people who have secured a better rank than me, and whose inputs are perhaps a bit more valuable than mine. So, I decided to focus a bit more on what made my JEE journey unique – in this post, I will highlight the five things I felt stand out the most out of the last two (and a half, thanks to COVID!) years of my life, and had the most impact on my preparation as well as me as a person. Here goes! 1. Overcoming Tricky Beginnings I took admission into FIITJEE South Delhi’s integrated school program in class 11 th . Ultimately it turned out to be a good decision because it helped me cut a ...
