Home Sweet Home

 After completing the second semester exams, the thought of returning home fills me with an overwhelming sense of excitement and anticipation. The prospect of spending nearly half and one month at home is like a beacon of warmth guiding me through the final days of the semester.

As I packed my bags, my mind buzzed with images of home: the familiar scent of my room, the comforting embrace of my family, and the hearty meals prepared by my mother. Each thought filled me with a sense of longing, urged me to hasten my steps towards the impending reunion.

The journey home is filled with a mix of emotions - eagerness to return and a hint of nostalgia for the life I temporarily leave behind. However, as the distance between me and home diminishes, excitement takes precedence, overshadowing any lingering doubts or fears.

Upon arrival, I am greeted with open arms and beaming smiles, reaffirming the warmth and love that define home. The familiar sights and sounds envelop me like a warm blanket, instantly easing any traces of fatigue or stress from the exams.

The prospect of nearly half and one month at home stretches before me like an endless sea of possibilities. I relish the freedom to pursue my interests and hobbies, unburdened by the demands of academia.

Yet, amidst the excitement and revelry, there is a subtle undercurrent of reflection. Returning home after completing the second semester exams is not just about relaxation and leisure; it is also a time for introspection and growth.

As I reconnect with my roots and revisit familiar haunts, I am reminded of the person I once was and the person I aspire to be. Each interaction, each experience, serves as a gentle nudge towards self-discovery and self-improvement.

In the quiet moments of solitude, I find myself contemplating the journey that lies ahead. The second semester may be over, but the adventure of life continues unabated. Returning home is not just a temporary respite from the rigors of academia; it is a chance to recharge, refocus, and emerge stronger than before.

A line between persuasion and deception: Ads

  T he inaugural blog I write focuses on the discussion we had in one of my classes about advertisements, which spans from advertorial to television ads to e-marketing. This discussion has exposed me to the darker side of the business world. One of my classmates,Kavin, expressed the opinion that the contemporary advertisements lack in providing the accurate information regarding the quality and contents of the products and it leads people astray by promoting a certain trend. Vasanth, another classmate, mentioned that advertisements particularly in the comestics and fashion industry  targets women, shielding them from the reality of life's problems and situations.  Ilfa and Shauna talked about ads that  frequently promote unrealistic beauty standards particularly among young people, the face symmetry trend that still continues for the past two years. This pushes people to care about their personal beauty rather than facing the serious situations. This brings to mind a...

Her Obsession

Image
 My sister has developed an almost  obsessive love for books over the past few years, a passion that my mom and I find both baffling and exasperating. This obsession isn't just a casual interest or a hobby; it has become an all-consuming affair. Her room, once a modest space, has now transformed into a miniature library, bursting at the seams with novels, memoirs, and classic literature. Today, she came home with another haul, proudly displaying her new acquisitions: "Icebreaker," "Twisted Series," "Crime and Punishment" and several more, each book brandished with the kind of enthusiasm most people reserve for prized possessions. This love for books didn't appear overnight. Initially, it was charming to see her immersed in a novel, and it was even a bit endearing when she began quoting lines from her favorite characters. But as the years have passed, her spending on books has escalated dramatically. Any savings she manages to accumulate quickly dis...
