Green Resolutions

So, here is the beginning of another fresh new year. Hope each one of you must have already prayed for a good year ahead, you must have promised new promises and resolutions. Yes, it’s time to make a new set of resolutions. Your resolution list must have already begun, the list might go on from a well-planned healthy diet to quit smoking. Other than our personal resolutions, this time let us add one resolution for our ‘mother Earth’, let us not make her alone to face the destruction caused by us ‘humans’. Let us share our duty to cause this change!

The International Mother Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22^nd. It is celebrated to raise public awareness to all the well-being of the planet. The Earth and its ecosystem, are our home. In order to achieve balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of present and future generations, it is necessary to safeguard or Earth. The Day also recognizes a collective responsibility, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth, to achieve a just balance among the economic, social and environmental needs of the present and future generations of humanity.

‘The Climate Change’ is happening worldwide. We see every now and then natural calamities happening, there are a new climate change happening in places which were not seen before. The mother Earth is showing its different faces, it's alerting us to make a change, it is giving us a chance to change.  So, on this new year, let one of our resolutions be, to protect our Earth! To plant more trees! To ban using plastics! To not to put an end to this resolution by 10 days! To make this win each day! Let us unite to make our Earth grow greener, keep the green and keep its beauty forever!

FIRST ONE TO BE! - Kezia Rachel Soj ( I DC Economics 2019-2022 Batch)

The Malayalam letter 'അ'
My first written letter
The hands that strongly and enthusiastically hold
In the laps of an unconditional love.
Oh! She looks like her Grandma!
The phrase that creates an exchange of smile.
Bye Njonje! A sentence that I was not suppose to forget
Every morning when I set off from home.
If forgotten, her pale little skinny face
Becomes pure red.
The glittering excited lilliputian eyes
That peep through the cornered window
Each day when I get back from school.
My antique little angel, My superwoman
My bag of secrets, My storyteller
My money bank, My music composer
The master chef ,The synonym of care
And the First one to share my day
All these make me thirst for a time machine
So that I can go back to all those bliss moments.
'Amma knows a lot But Njonje knows everything'

THE RIDDING ROAD- Meenakshi Manoj( I DC Economics 2019-20122 Batch)

She smiled so wide that her cheeks started  to hurt. Raindrops rolled over her raincoat.Bike was fast , she felt cold and shivered.Her mouth started to mutter but her father put one of his finger between her teeth ,while one on the bike so that she doesnt bite her tongue.She said to him" papaa there comes over riding road..go deep and get that hole".They rode into the holes  on the road splashing the water as a wonderla ride.This was the only reason fors he would get up early in the cold rain for the school.Her father was her hero.She loved him very much.She always insisted to go with him.she loved  her riding road with holes. She used to make funny noises" peeeewwww" Others used to adore her cute little voices.
                  Sitting in the varanda and waited for her hero to come.They had decided to go on a ride.Cutting throgh the breezing wind,seeing the green fields along her way and talking endlessly about her day,she was all driven in her world.It was late ,the birds got on their nest chirping, sky was red and the sun was hiding behind the trees and  she stared at the still gate.  Suddenly a bell rings  her mother  attends it and starts to cry  loud ,people coming to their home and looking at her pathetically.She scrummbled her face in annoyment.Suddenly she saw some people carrying somthing covered in white cloth.She got all exited"carry me pls"she yelled.Her mother hold her aside and wept with sorrowful tears.When the cloth was taken she was shook.Her father was layed . His eyes were closed,face was pale.She went by and asked "papaa get up i dont like this, why didn't you came on time i wont talk to, you get up" her mom held her back and cried loud"no dear dont say that he loves you...but he left us".She was shook."your father went to the ride alone he shouldn't have...".His head had a huge stich and his bike was no where to be seen.
                  She knew now.Her hero was no more.She sat all alone in the corner of the house closed her eyes.She heard a voice"hey champ! How's my girl.My champ never cries she is strong. Remember what papa used to say life is always an irony child.You never have you want,but you should never stop searching for it.I am always in you, so dont worry about that.You are my princes.You will always find your way .I am in you!"

THE MOST BLAMED - PREETHI PS (I DC ECONOMICS 2019-2022 batch)

I was like sitting on bramble.....and was eating the pain of thousands of thorns piercing in. The school and the Crowd felt like hell and devils because every eyes rushed upon us....,that five girls sitting with same emotion and the same attire. That was a girls gang which was very well known to everyone. On that day, everyone watched the silence of the gang for the first time .We were a flower with six petals and that day marked the fall of a petal....
While sitting with a lot of thoughts passing through mind ....I thought how I started that day.......,
      "24th October 2018, a normal working day.....On that morning I was a little lazy to get up......but the "blub" sound from my phone brought a happy news that we six were going out on that evening to our favourite place,a park in the market junction. We together made a lot of sweet memories and we had never lost any chances to enjoy.       
      Our class starts on 8.50 am and I was late on that day too as usual..... But an unusual crowd was waiting infront of the school gate and a murmur rose....that one of the students committed suicide and there was no class. I was not in a mood to be invited by such a news.l really cursed that person meaninglessly as I hate suicides.
But an incredible fact was waiting there to bruise the hearts......'SHE LEFT' ".
       No one had noted someone's silence among us.She was silent for the past two days and shared nothing with us. I heard the blabbers of thousand mouth and all were shooting upon her companions. No one believed our words because we were unknown about her reasons. It was her surprise to everyone....even her mother and brother ,who looked after her like their princess.
       The silence, pain, shock and blames marked it as the worst day in my life. Her decision on a piece of rope created a big gap at her home and among us. I counted a number of staring eyes at me as we were together as shadows to each other for 5 consecutive days,the most loving tour days which was only a few days ago. But I was helpless to find the reason behind her ...... However I tolerated that day. I could not find even a single group photo in which she posed without holding my hands or shoulders. That memories hurt the most and I felt her presence everywhere....and all time she smiles like nothing had happened. I am the most blamed for being a friend of her because my friendship couldn't understand her. I blamed myself for not taking any of her sorrows seriously. I still remember our last chat and her last words " GOOD NIGHT AND SEE YOU TOMORROW"
