The Tree

 It is not easy to kill a tree,

It is quite strong you know.

Holding on with all its might,

By the ages it's been burrowing deep below.

Its a living creature too, 

And with time grows stronger and fatter.

Building a strong, tough hide,

Which is not easy to shatter.

Man being a fool tried,

Attacking the body so huge and mighty.

All day he worked hard but still

He could only give it a scar.

He came back again to increase the strain,

Brough some tech and tools too.

But surprised he stared at the wound,

Which should have been on the bark.

It healed and niw jeeringly sneered,

At the furious man so naive.

The tree had know and grown in the world,

Long before the man was alive.

 Well, it's been quite some time since I posted anything here. Reasons for my coming back are- 1. I also stopped diary writing and forgot to get the one I maintained with me to Italy. 2. If my diary is left home and found by someone, by the nature of human curiosity it gets read so might as well write stuff here. 3. I am feeling a little lost for some days and thought this might help get my mind back in its place. Some things that should be known, and have occurred since the last post- 1. I got accepted to study medicine at UNIVPM in Italy. So I am a med student now. 2. Naturally, I am in Italy. 3. I am alone and finding my way through life as an individual, so that's fun... Anatomy is kind of difficult, especially since the Professor doesn't upload slides until she is done with the entire topic, hence revisiting concepts the same day is a bit of an issue. Also, it is complex. Biochemistry is very boring, since its 80% the same stuff as grade 11 and 12 but in more detail an...

The lies of society

 I've mentioned the guy who inspired me to start journaling here, though I haven't really done that since the post of my restart. He himself hosts a Github log of sorts and the latest post I found interesting and would love to continue upon. In 2022, I had written an article titled "Perspectives' in my personal notebook, and reading his post today I remembered of that article. I had jotted down about perspectives and how life changes drastically through them. Also how fascinating it would be to view oneself in 3rd person. Would we feel the same pity we feel for ourselves then? Would I even look like the person I make myself to be? And what makes something wrong or right in essence when everything is just a action that may or may not have a significant reaction? These were some of the questions I had tried to figure out in the log. He mentioned not being the user but the product.( He looks at things from a coders eye, everything is a code to him, at least I think) And t...

Transformations of Life

 I love how life surprises you when you least expect it. It gives meaning to life and makes it interesting I feel. So since yesterday I have a cold and have been feeling a bit down. Today morning I wake up for university and as I go about my business, I get abdominal cramps and have loose motions. The pain intensifies and its a clear case of food poisoning. Though it was probably my fault, the situation wasn't good since I had to go to university. I gave it sometime and I needed to use the bathroom twice more.  I somehow managed to get in bed and be stable and by now my classes had already begun. I was planning to take a leave for the entire day and texted my friends to get notes for me. The convo continued as if my texts didn't exist. Ignored. When I have run for help when they needed. I don't if it was this realization that I'm truly alone here and that only I am responsible for myself or because I was feeling better, but I decided to get dressed and went to class. I ...
