Tumne Mujhe Jeena Sikhaya

Jab kabhi mein zindagi ke bare sochu

Tumhari khyaal aati hai

Zinda toh mein pehle bhi tha

Par zindadili toh tumhare aane se aayi hai.

Kerala Samajam Model School - My Alma Mater

There are certain things in life I can forever be proud of. Being a student of KSMS is one such thing. I passed out from school 7 years ago, but it just doesn't seem to get over. I still feel that I am a part of the school, and a part of me still lives there. The best part, almost all the ex-students of our school I come across, agree that they feel the same way too.

When I was in 11th standard, I was a part of the multimedia team -KETs. We guys had prepared a lot of videos during that time. I am sharing one of them here. I hope you guys have a fun time watching this. :) :)

Craters on the Black Moon (Photography)

Ever since I read "A Black Moon Odyssey", a novel written by Mr. Anirban Roy, I had this insurmountable urge to photograph the moon just the way it was described in the book. Though I am a novice in photography, and that too a self-trained one, but trust me when I say this: photographing the moon is not at all an easy task!

There are certain things you need for this:

@Tohfah4u- The Beginning :)

Hi!

Thanks for taking out your time to know me better!

I’ve always wanted to do something different. Something that was fun, something which didn't call for brand following, something that I loved. After much thought, I narrowed down to something that I really reallllly loved to do... CREATE.

Each time I saw anything creative, it inspired me to create... create something that would be loved by everyone, something that would make not only the one being gifted, smile, but also the one gifting it, something that goes beyond the existence of a physical form and shape to touch the deepest emotions of a soul. This is how the journey of Tohfah began.

The Lake (Another excerpt from another long story that I have written)

Sitting by the lake, along with a friend, I realized that our life, we rather, are similar to a lake. On one side we have mammoth mountains of problems, and on the other side, there is a plateau of happiness and bliss. But we are stuck in between the both, like the lake, to fill the void in between the both. Sometimes the winds of time make the water hit towards the problem-mountain, and break into million droplets of water, just as we break on the face of trials and tribulations. And sometimes the tides of time overflow the water of the lake to let it enjoy the vastness and enormity of happiness-plateau, and the water runs over it, free of any obstacles, here and there-everywhere, running around in happiness and glee. But neither the winds nor the tides stay long enough, and before we realize, we have to return back to square one- from where it all started. You can’t prevent yourself from breaking on the face of problems, and you should not prevent yourself from enjoying happiness.

Then how can you find peace? How can you find satisfaction? How can you live your life oscillating between happiness and sorrow everytime?

Chapter 9 - Part III

(This is an excerpt from a long story that I have written. If you guys are interested, I will put ALL of it! Hope you enjoy reading it... :)

“12:10 AM. 76 missed calls, 49 messages”, I read the cellphone screen. Soon after I left the farewell party in haste, Pooh had been calling me up. I didn’t take any of the calls, yet inside, I was dying to talk to her. I was unable to sleep, and the monstrous thunder and lightning only made it all the more difficult.

“Hello”, I said, finally picking up the phone.
