The sun is gone

Published on

She smiles even if it kills,
Her from inside.
She laughs when she would 
Rather cry.
The tears she weeps 
Are hidden from the world
Or rather the only part of it
She really loves.
Her children, her offsprings
Living the life she dreamed 
To be worthy.
Then tears rise but they are not of 
Regret but pure joy
That comes from Living a life
To witness something 
That fills her heart
With love, happiness 
And then she cries
Her children are free to fly
The climb has flattened 
And so recede the battle cries
She has lived her life with might
And now the reason is walking by
Around her, saying goodbye.
She waves them away 
Walking towards the horizon,
The horizon that they had broadened 
And now they recede into oblivion. 

The sun is setting on her life
The sunrays shimmer away like 
Forgotten shadows.
She closes her eyes
To drift off into gentle slumber
For tomorrow she has to wake up
Again and face life.
The sun is gone, 
The shore is empty
But did I forget to tell you
That the moon gives its gifts in plenty.

The summer of the beautiful white horse: Analysis, Summary and Theme

Published on
The summer of the beautiful white horse. : An Analysis  This short story written by William Saroyan is part of the CBSE Class 11 Snapshots NCERT Syllabus. While high school students would certainly benefit from the articles, literary enthusiasts are encouraged to join the discussion of how the author uses diction, literary terms and tone to portray the meaning of through the text.   Nostalgia marks the tone of narrator in the opening line of the sentence, reminiscing over how the world used to be magnificent and delightful. The sentence “life was still a delightful and mysterious dream” aptly describes how the narrator perceived the world as a nine year old. The theme of exaggeration and awe is repeatedly seen throughout the story through the character of uncle Khosrove and the narrator’s admiration of the horse. So awe stricken was Aram that he could not believe his eyes when his “crazy” cousin Mourad brought a beautiful white horse outside the window of his room around daybr...

My TKS Application journey

Published on
My journey  I applied for The Knowledge Society in February 2022. Initially, I had opened an application but then decided not to go for it, thinking that I wasn't smart enough to get in. Mia Nguyễn was my application advisor who mailed me about my incomplete application, asking me if there was anything I needed help with. There were few interview slots remaining and she asked if they should close my application. I opened her mail and began typing an apology letter, telling her that I would not be applying. As I finished the letter, my finger hovered over the send button. I sighed, selected my mail and pressed backspace. What was the harm in trying? I typed out a quick message, asking her to hold my slot. I opened MS Word and started on the essays I needed and stayed up all night, only to submit them a few hours before the deadline.  In late April, I was accepted into the 10 month Global Virtual Program as a TKS Innovator with considerable financial aid. Unfortunately, my finan...

How do animal cells move? | Motor proteins and cytoskeleton in cellular biology

Published on
Cells move around the body using cellular extensions of the plasma membrane like cilia and flagellum. They take the help of fibres outside the cell to provide anchorage. These extensions are made of microtubules, sliding against each other to produce a back and forth motion. These microtubules are a part of the cytoskeleton which will be discussed shortly. Within the cells, motor proteins attach to the receptors on organelles and use their ‘feet’ to ‘walk’ them along the fibers of cytoskeleton to their required location. Source: Campbell Biology, 12th edition  These motor proteins consume ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is the source of energy at the cellular level. It is the energy currency of the cell as it provides readily releasable energy due to breaking of bonds between second and third phosphate groups. Now that we have understood the mechanism for cell locomotion, let’s understand more about the cytoskeleton and how its elements aid in the process. Exis...
