Poem 27 : Abundant Luxuries

 Abundant Luxuries

                                - T ABRAHAM 

To live a life, to barely survive, you need something,

Need to eat, drink, sleep and a family,

Need is survival without comforts,

But want is, I want it,

I want comforts, happiness and materialistic pleasure,

I want a car, I want to eat at the hotel,

I want something expensive,

Want is a choice,

Choice of the rich and unreachable by the poor,

Luxury in everything,

Produces waste in everything,

The ones that were wanted one day,

Became unwanted now,

More of waste in luxury,

Luxury due to the money,

Luxury under a control brings joy,

When uncontrollable becomes destruction and dominance.

From Miller Memorial Library to the Anna Centenary Library - 25/06/2023

After about a week joining at Madras Christian College (Autonomous) for pursuing my undergraduate course in B.A English Language and Literature under the aided stream I had my first visit to my college library named as 'Miller Memorial Library'. Since, it was my first time I just took a random book from the 'English' section and read it. Then, whenever I had my free hours I started to have regular visits to the library. Till the end of my 1st semester I used to go either to the 'English'or 'Philosophy' section to read. Then, from my 2nd semester onwards I started to use Reading Hall 1 as our syllabus started to have poetry, prose, drama and fiction as I had my own books to read. I felt that my college's library is one among the places that is really good for people who want to use their time productively especially for the arts students.

 One Human Body But Ten Fingers                                                          - T ABRAHAM      Firstly, let me ask you readers a question, 'Why do we have the quality of doing a multiple things at a short span of time?' or 'Why are we always thrust upon with more and more responsibilities and not one at a time?', the answer is not so simple but not complex as well. The idea of multi-tasking is something very unique to the human beings, and every creation by God has some purpose and meaning within itself. The very idea of multi-tasking can be seen in the design of human body, mind and the benefits of multi-tasking seen is many. https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=cartoon+hand+palm&asset_id=145256163      Multi-tasking is doing a multiple array of things which are either our everyday chores, duties o...
