The Joy of Writing a Diary

Since I was a child, I always had the habit of writing a diary. It started very naturally, almost like a small friend who listens to everything I wanted to say. Whenever something happened in my day whether it was a happy moment, a little fight with friends, an achievement, or even a sad feeling. I would take my diary and write it down. Over time, this habit became a part of me. Writing in a diary gave me peace, comfort, and also a way to look back at myself. It was like keeping a safe place where all my thoughts and memories could stay forever. Even when I grew up, I never let go of this practice, because it always gave me the feeling that I was recording my life story, page by page.

This past weekend, I opened one of my old diaries and began flipping through the pages. As I read, I was amazed “Wow! Did all these things really happen in my life?” It felt like a journey back in time. Some memories were unforgettable, some were emotional, and others were simply mesmerizing. It reminded me that writing a diary isn’t just about recording events it’s about preserving moments that shape who we are.

Not everyone keeps a diary, and I think that makes it even more special. When we write, we capture our thoughts, feelings, and experiences in their purest form. Later, when we read those pages, we don’t just revisit the past, we also learn lessons from it. It’s almost like talking to our younger selves.

For me, the art of diary writing is both healing and inspiring. It allows me to reflect, to relive my past, and to see how much I’ve grown. Even now, I continue this habit, because I know that one day, I’ll open my diary again and rediscover moments I had forgotten but will cherish all over again.

Diary writing is not just a hobby, it’s a gift to yourself, a way to keep your memories alive.

Blooming Beginnings

One fine morning at MCC, I paused near a bush of flowers. My friend took a picture of me standing there, but for me it was never about the photo. It was about the quiet moment of admiration. The flowers stood in their natural beauty, needing nothing more, and just looking at them gave me a calm feeling. That pause reminded me how even a small act of noticing can bring peace to the heart. Later, in the evening, the same sense of admiration returned to me in my own garden. I usually water the plants each day, but that evening I wanted to do something more. I went out and brought home a few new flowers like bougainvillea, marigold, roses and some others. These are common in Tamil Nadu, yet each carries its own charm. Planting them did not feel like work. Instead, it gave me galdness. I admired the small patch of color in my garden, and it felt like the same peace I had experienced that morning near the bush at MCC. Both moments, though different, carried the same lesson. Admira...

A World Inside a Flask

Image
One fine day in my General Elective Botany class, I held something in my hand that changed the way I look at plants. It was not a pot, not a seed, not even soil. It was a simple glass flask covered with foil, and inside it, tiny green plants were growing. The flask looked ordinary, but what it carried was extraordinary.  This method, as my professor explained, is called plant tissue culture. From just a small piece of a plant, new plants can grow in a sterile glass container filled with nutrients. Holding it in my hands felt like holding a secret garden. Before this class, I always believed plants could grow only in soil. But the tissue culture flask taught me something different: plants can grow even without soil, as long as they are given the right environment. A nutrient medium inside the glass, combined with careful conditions, helps the plants thrive. It amazed me that science has found ways to multiply plants like this. It is useful not only for agriculture, but a...

An unforgettable day

Image
I woke up earlier than usual, and because of that, I managed to catch the bus ahead of time. I reached college exactly at 7:55 a.m., which was earlier than my usual schedule. Since I had some free time, I walked towards the botany tank inside the campus. There, I sat quietly and began to admire the beauty of nature around me. The tall trees, the green plants, and the sweet chirruping of the birds created such a peaceful environment. For almost 20 minutes, I just sat there in silence, watching and listening. I realized that even though I had been in college for a long time, this was the very first time I was truly admiring nature so closely. The feeling was refreshing and calming. That simple moment filled me with peace, and I felt grateful for the little things around me. Later in the afternoon, at 3:50 p.m., I reached home. Without wasting any time, my mom, dad, and I went to a nearby dress shop. We bought a few clothes and enjoyed the shopping experience together. After f...
