​A TOUCH WHICH BRIDGES THE BLIND AND THOSE WHO PRETEND TO BE.

-


​While those who are blind act as if they can see, some who have sight pretend to be blind; I was forced to be a bridge between them. The so-called "helping hands" became unaware of their own standing.

​There is not much to describe, but I want to tell you about an incident in which I was involved. A blind man arrived at my college seeking financial help, and I came across him quite unexpectedly and helped him. Even though he did not receive the full financial support he wanted, what I recall every time is the wetness of my hand while holding his. He was almost my father’s age, blind, and had traveled a long way alone; yet, while the authorities refused to even walk toward him, he trusted me and walked through my college to seek help—he saw through my eyes.

​That is what led me to believe in trust; even a person who is blind trusted me for help, whereas I find I cannot even trust the people around us. Through this incident, I realized that mercy only holds when the other person is safe; if that is not the case, who truly cares!

HUNTING ADELINE:BEYOND THE EROTICISM:A DEEP DIVE INTO THE "CAT AND MOUSE DUET "

-

  "In this era, many teenagers fall for dark romance books because of their erotic literature. However, I was drawn to it only because of its representation of dark world content that is often unspoken in the contemporary world. We live in an era where holding a book in hand publicly is considered a showoff. I had watched many reels and posts praising 'Haunting Adeline' and 'Hunting Adeline' for their erotic literature. But this 'Cat and Mouse' duet holds something very serious that isn't explicitly stated yet. Zade Meadows was introduced to me by a reel that randomly appeared on my Instagram feed. Later, some reels introduced the book 'Haunting Adeline', and some dark romance triggered my desire to read them. Now, I've cried after completing 'Hunting Adeline'. The post-book blues had stolen my tears. Two books, two different lives, but the same people. My parents were sure about the thickness of 'Hunting Adeline', probably...

-

Kadheejaa was a trending book for the past two months, but I was a little late to pick it up since I’m not very fond of reading in my mother tongue. I usually prefer English books as they help me strengthen my vocabulary.  NASEEF KALAYATH is a social media writer, more known for his storytelling and content creation. The book shows how unending is a husband's love for his wife and vice-versa. Khadeeja can steal our hearts and tears through its narrative peculiarities, reflective and heart-touching themes. This book is very relatable for everyone who has experienced love and care in their life. Khadeeja explores through a typical family melodrama, set in Kerala , a must-read book that can be enjoyed without any age boundaries.

THE COURAGE TO READ ,THE STRENGTH TO RISE

-
I'm certain that I never smiled over an Instagram post of a celebrity or any other activist, but last night, my mother's Instagram feed's first post was by Malala Yousafzai . Later, my gaze ended up on her other Instagram posts, and I smiled over many of them. I think she inspired me a lot to raise my voice against the patriarchy existing in my family. The book " I Am Malala " brought some changes in me; it was the first memoir I had read in my life, and it paved the way for my reading habit. " The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage were born."--- Malala Yousafzai. My primary school is the reason behind my whole academic performance. It was the place that gave birth to the bookworm in me.I never used  my academic library until I was 11, during my 6th standard. I would often visit the library with my friend just...
