Appachchi

To the world, Dad might seem like a quiet, not - so-talkative person. But to me, there's a strength like Mount Meru hidden in that silence. He never talks about his hardships or sorrows to the world. Instead, he silently sacrifices for us. The ultimate hope of all his efforts was our happiness. No matter what challenges life threw at him, the biggest strength he gave us was his words.

     "No matter what anyone says, don't stop your journey. Keep moving forward. I'll always be behind you as a strength". I remember that day my Advance Level results came out. When I found out I passed the exam, Appachchi hugged me and said those words. His usually silent eyes were filled with tears that day. Those tears held a great pride in me. No matter what milestones life brings, that loving hug is worth more to me than my biggest achievement. Appachchi, I'll never forget those happy tears that fell from your eyes that day. I promise I'll never break the silent trust you had in me. The strength of knowing you are behind me is all I need to conquer any world.

While the world praises mother, I feel father's who silently sacrifice their lives for their children, being like our shadow are equally noble. So, "Are only mothers the ones who become Buddhas in the future...." 🙏🙏

Does Every Connection Need a Name?

We live in a world obsessed with labels. From the moment we meet someone, we feel an underlying pressure to categorize them: Best friend, partner, acquaintance, soulmate. We feel more secure when we can check a box. But have you ever shared a bond so profound, so natural, and so intricate that no dictionary definition seemed to fit? The Burden of a Label When we give a relationship a name, we unconsciously attach a set of expectations and rules to it. ❤️ If we call it "Friendship," we might suppress deeper emotions. ❤️ If we call it "Love," we suddenly invite expectations of commitment, jealousy, or a defined future. By naming it, we often trade the organic flow of the connection for the structure of a social contract. The Freedom of the "Undefined" There is a rare kind of peace in a connection that remains untitled. It exists purely in the present moment. ❤️ It’s the person you can call at 2:00 AM without wondering if it’s "appropriate." ❤️ It’s...

My School Life

Everyone has unforgettable memories of their school life. I also have such memories of my school days. I studied at Kg/St. Joseph's Balika Vidyalaya from grade 1 to grade 13.On the first day of school, I was very shy, but seeing my friends made me feel better.After that, I did all the naughty things with my friends in the school. We used to climb trees, whisper to the teachers, hit the bell and go to the playground during class hours. We did a lot of mischief like that. Despite doing so many naughty things, our teachers loved us. After winning the first place in the island -wide competition, our teachers welcomed us back to school with love. We couldn't express enough gratitude for that. After completing 13 years of education, I felt a mix of sadness and happiness leaving the school. The love, respect, education and experiences I gained from the school have taken me far and made me successful. It's not the end of school life, it's just a part of our life. We move forwar...

A Connection Beyond Rules, Rooted in the Heart

In the society we live in, the word "duty" is frequently heard. We have obligations toward our parents, our children, our country, and our careers. However, if these duties become merely a list of things we do " because we have to ," they lose their soul. ​Heartfelt Duty vs. Mechanical Duty Often, people perform their duties out of fear of social judgment or the narrow thought of "What will others think?" ​ Mechanical Duty : Doing something with the feeling of "I am forced to do this." There is no satisfaction here—only exhaustion. ​Heartfelt Duty : The feeling of "I am doing this out of love and respect." In this case, both the person performing the duty and the one receiving it feel immense joy. How Does Duty Become Love? We care for our parents not because it is a law, but because of the boundless love we hold for them in our hearts. Similarly, in our jobs, when we work with the mindset that our service benefits someone else—rather...
