The Joy of Helping My Mom

Today was a day filled with warmth and simple lessons. I decided to spend the whole day helping my mom with her daily chores. Usually, I help her with a few things, but this time I wanted to stay with her throughout the day and share all her work, from cooking to cleaning, washing, and managing everything at home. It felt nice to give her a little rest and make her day lighter.

In the morning, I joined her in the kitchen. She was preparing breakfast, and I tried to help by chopping vegetables and arranging things neatly. At first, it looked so easy when she did it, but when I tried, I realized how much patience and care it takes to cook properly. Still, we laughed through my little mistakes, and she guided me step by step. I also learned some small tricks she usually does while cooking, like how she makes the food tastier with simple ingredients and how neatly she manages everything even in a hurry.

After breakfast, we cleaned the house together. Dusting the furniture, sweeping the floor, and folding the clothes. Everything looked tiring but satisfying once we saw the house clean and bright. We even played some soft music while doing the chores, which made the work feel lighter and more fun.

In the afternoon, I helped her with washing vessels and arranging things in the kitchen. I could see how happy she was to have me by her side. She kept saying how good it felt to have someone helping her and talking with her at the same time. It made me realize how often we take our mothers’ efforts for granted, without noticing how much love and energy they put into every small thing they do for us.

By the evening, both of us were a little tired but smiling. We sat together with a cup of coffee and talked about so many things, her childhood stories, her favorite memories, and even some funny moments from my school days. Helping Mom for a day taught me that even simple acts can mean so much. It wasn’t just about doing chores, it was about spending time together, sharing love, and understanding her efforts a little more deeply.

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,...
