The Beauty In Me

-
This poem is specially put to fight racism; because I know how it feels when a five year old is called black. 
The Beauty In Me
Like a Rainbow full of colours,
And a field of various flowers,
different people make the world full,
because different makes it beautiful.

If a black raven is pretty,
And a brown eagle is a sight to see,
I can stand out too,
I'm black, but a human like you.

Don't laugh at me,
because then you cannot see,
that I am a piece of nature,
and I will remain one, forever.

I'm black, you're right,
but so is the sky at night.
And for a candlelight dinner,
there's no time finer.

So if you still don't see, 
it won't bother me,
for it's seen by nature,
and I believe in her.

Discrimination

hi I am not writing a poem today, instead, I'll write my opinion on discrimination. I'm a brown-skinned Indian, just like my father. My mom is fair. She has HER father's skin colour. But yes, we are pure Indians. My parents being of 2 different religions, I never felt that casts are different. Since I was old enough to figure it out, I have always felt that we humans are the only ones to make this divide. Gender discrimination I am a girl. I'm fortunate enough to belong to a family that treats all genders as equal. now, gender discrimination is, treating a particular gender unfairly. Women are, in many places, given unfair disadvantages. It is a type of gender discrimination. But even if men are given unfair disadvantages, it is gender discrimination, too. Pseudo feminism Feminism is the fight for women to be treated equally like any other person. pseudo feminism is asking women to be treated and given more privileges. the difference is that the former asks everyone to ...

Life In Lockdown

-
Hi guys. This might be more than a month of lockdown in Mumbai now. I was anyway 'locked down' a week earlier, as all the schools in the business capital had to close. we are quite used to staying indoors now, we humans have a gift to adapting. My parents have shifted their office online, and till yesterday I was schooling from home. who knew, that sixth grade would end on my laptop, sending e-cards to my teachers on microsoft teams? But lockdown is not so bad either. My friend and I opened a site on google classroom called ' children's room ', that's going really well. I continue to write poems and stories, as i see a courier in that. My mother's side had a background in arts; music, acting, and whatnot. perhaps i get it from there. One more reason of writing this blog is to spread a humble request to stay at home. The more we stay inside, the faster we will come out. Still, i see people walking on the roads for no reason. Every day, we see police and d...
