Rainy Days and Family Moments

The rainy season has started again, and the soft sound of raindrops on the window fills the air with peace and comfort, while the sweet smell of the wet earth rises gently from the ground, spreading freshness all around, and I just love that petrichor scent at the beginning of the rainy season. Even back then, in my childhood, we used to enjoy these rainy days to the fullest, enjoying rainy evenings that brought families closer and filled our homes with warmth and laughter. Life was simpler then, love felt deeper, and our world wasn’t ruled by mobile phones.


Childhood Delights: Moments of Togetherness

I can remember those rainy days from my childhood. Our family would sit together in the living room, sipping hot coffee and sharing stories. My parents often told me about their own school days, how they enjoyed the rain, played outside, and spent time with their friends. They would share their childhood memories, their dreams, and the fun moments from their younger days. I would also share my school stories, my wishes, and my dreams for the future. We listened to each other, laughed together, and learned from one another. Those long conversations made our bond stronger and gave me a deep sense of love and belonging.


The Joy of Shared Moments

After our talks, we would gather around the TV to watch a show together and enjoy snacks. Those simple evenings were full of joy and laughter. Every corner of our home felt alive with love.The happiness of those shared moments still stays fresh in my heart.


The Shift: A Changing World

But today, things have changed. Whether it rains or shines, most of us are lost in our mobile phones. Conversations have become shorter, and family time is slowly disappearing. We often eat alone, laugh less, and spend more time scrolling than speaking.

We have forgotten the simple joy of sharing and listening. Yet, sharing is what keeps relationships alive, and it builds understanding, empathy, and closeness.


Holding on to Nostalgia

Rainy days always fill me with nostalgia. They remind me of the warmth and laughter I shared with my parents. In this fast, modern world, we sometimes forget the value of true connection. But it’s never too late to bring it back. We can choose to talk more, laugh more, and spend more time with the people we love.

As the rain continues to fall, I hold on tightly to those beautiful memories. Technology may be everywhere, but it should never replace human connection. Let’s bring back the laughter, the love, and the togetherness that once made our homes special.


Simple Steps to Strengthen Family Bonding

1. Set 1–2 hours of device-free time every day. No mobile phones, so you can share real-life experiences and pay attention to each other within the family.

2. Share meals and snacks together as a family.

3. Plan family activities regularly, like game nights or movie nights.

4. Cook meals together and enjoy the process as a family.

5. Go on family outings often to create new memories together.

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.

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,...
