Take a good look at this image. What does it remind you of? For some, it may symbolise something yet for others, it may just seem like meaningless clouds. That is perfectly fine, because everyone looks at things in different ways.  On seeing this image, I think of two people fighting to voice their opinion for the world to hear.  They must have their origin thousands of miles away. And as destiny has it, they have clashed with each other. And on clashing with one another, they have left a beautiful view that has left me in awe. In life, you and your opinion can either be ignored or they can be heard. That's the confusing part about this world. But the good part is that this is completely your choice. But, in my opinion, the world and its people will always favour those who voice their thoughts.  You might have even seen some incidents in your life where the silent ones were always overlooked in the crowd.

Nainital is a town situated in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand. This former British hill station is surrounded by towering mountains, which provides breathtaking views. The town has a lake called Nainital Lake, which is a very popular boating site. The right side of the lake is dotted with markets, restaurants and hotels.

Some of these are Snow View, Tiffin Top and Eco Cave Park.  This beautiful hill station is a place full of bustling markets, ...

It was a lovely evening for the month of May, and my father came home with something that I didn't know would change my life for the better.  My father bought a wild Indian ringneck parrot who was only 1 month old (approximately). That adorable parrot was given the name of Hari. But, don't be fooled by the name. He looked very cute but he was very naughty. He kept chewing and biting every single thing I owned. He chewed my hair, my earrings, my textbooks and so much more. He was a complete troublemaker.  But, we had to take him back to his home. For, that is where he deserved to belong. He deserved to be back with his family and his flock. So, we took him outside. He was shocked and stayed on my shoulder for a while. Soon, we started walking home with him still sitting on my shoulder. And he flew away. He flew back home. That moment was like riding on an emotional rollercoaster. I was proud of him, but at the same time, I was sad that I couldn't make more anymore memories w...
