The Young Architect

"Isn't that an unusual building?"

“Never seen anything like this!” the parents said.

 

Rasi, their teenage daughter, smiled triumphantly.

"I spent hours designing this unique building for the upcoming competition!" the young architect said.

Rasi had creatively and optimally used all the building-block plastic brick pieces of the "Young Architect" set.

Meaning Starts With Me

I set out searching for meaning,

Some felt it was demeaning!

Why should my search affect them?

I wasn't asking them to search my gem!

“I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.”

Amar, Akbar, Anthony

There were three guitars on stage at a national youth event.

Three strangers- Amar, Akbar, and Anthony- went for a performance.

Prompt- Rochelle Wisoff-Fields

Amar sang his family’s song about his home.

Strangely, Akbar and Anthony also knew the same tune and lyrics!

Prompt- Sandra Crook

They had warned me to stay away,

Still, I told her all that I had to say.

Whatever happened next was wild news-

People soon knew me & my radical views!

Tell Me Something Good

 And here we are busy with lots to do,

What we keep doing, many have no clue.

And those who know, decide to keep mum,

Not a tiny whisper or mention via eardrum!

What Is, Is

What is there, is there -

They're basking in the glory.

People see what they see,

Few know the true story.

Those who know need to care.

Those who've power can cope.

Those who care are rare.

May all forever have hope.

Small But Beautiful

They said it is too small,

They didn't value it at all.

I knew I didn't care a damn.

I had decided to be extra calm!

Why ask a layperson for advice?

Only the jeweller knows the price!

The precious stone is in the news.

Who cares for their silly views?

Odisha GI Authorised User Camp By NHDC

Each year, on August 1st, we celebrate Sambalpuri Din and wear Sambalpuri Bandha, an iconic weave of Odisha that has the Geographical Indication (GI) tag and is also recognized by UNESCO.

The 13th Sambapuri Din i.e. Sambalpuri Day is being celebrated today.

It was a great honour to attend and address the GI Camp with Sambalpuri Bandha weavers three days ago, thanks to the National Handloom Development Corporation (NHDC).

Even shared about Sambalpuri Din in my presentation!

Be Wise And Maximise

Life is short, and that we know.

Time is now to know & grow.

Be 100% present & do not miss- 

All that is important & our wish.

Honestly Adopt Honesty

Being honest is such a balancing act,

It's like juggling by keeping all intact.

Because of the consequences in store,

The honest roads are tough to explore.
