A Day Full of Colors and Laughter with the Magic of Water Beads



Yesterday evening turned out to be one of the most colorful and fun-filled moments at home. My little cousin came over to spend the day with us. He is a cheerful and curious boy who always finds something interesting to do whenever he visits. This time, he came with a packet of tiny water beads that looked just like small colorful seeds.

Then, We filled a transparent bowl with clean water and poured the tiny beads into it. At first, they looked so small and dry. My cousin was so excited that he kept checking the bowl every few minutes. Slowly, the beads started to absorb the water and began to grow. It was really amazing to watch them change right in front of our eyes. After few hours, the tiny beads had turned into shiny, round, jelly-like balls of different colors such as red, blue, green, orange, yellow, and purple.

The bowl looked like it was filled with rainbow pearls. The colors were bright and the beads looked so smooth and glossy. My cousin was thrilled. He dipped his small hands into the bowl and started to play with them, giggling as the slippery beads slipped between his fingers. He even picked a few of them and showed me how they looked through the light. The way they sparkled made them look like little gems.

After a while, we both sat on the floor and began sorting the beads by color. It was a fun little challenge, some of the beads kept rolling away. And We laughed every time whenever water beads escaped, and my cousin ran around to catch them. The joy on his face was something I will never forget. Later, I played along and acted like his customer. we could not stop laughing. The whole house was filled with a cheerful mood.

What made it even better was that we were not using any phones or gadgets. It was just both of us, talking, laughing, and enjoying with water beads. Nowadays, we forget how much fun it is to play with real things. Watching those colorful beads grow and shine felt refreshing. 

By the time it was night, the bowl was full of soft, bouncy beads. My cousin held a handful of them and smiled proudly as if he had discovered something magical. I clicked a few pictures to capture that beautiful moment. It was such a peaceful and heartwarming day

That day, I realized that happiness can be as simple as a bowl full of water beads and a heart full of laughter.

Blooming Beginnings

Image
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...

Exploring My College Library

Image
I visit the library almost every day after the classes, but for my CA2 assignment, I decided to make a vlog about it. After my classes, I spent around two to three hours taking this vlog, capturing the different sections of our library and the way students use them. Through this, I wanted to show how important the library is in our daily college life. The first thing that greets us is the register at the entrance. Every student must write their name, department, and entry and exit times, finishing with a signature. It’s a simple rule, but it creates discipline and reminds us that the library is a shared space for learning. On the ground floor, there are two reading halls. Reading Hall One is where students quietly read, and along its walls, several boards display daily newspapers like The Hindu, Times of India, and Dina Thanthi. Just beside it, Reading Hall Two offers shelves of books from almost every subject like history, chemistry, zoology, botany, literature etc.. Then,...
