Poem 42 : A Life Without Sleep

 A Life Without Sleep

                              - T ABRAHAM

A stressful life which demands many things,

Sacrifices on relationship and on health,

A night without sleep is exhausting,

Just like a device if left unchanged with low power,

Just as the device gets heated,

So do I feel that fire burning in my eyes,

Fire is burning in my body,

Feeling sleepy and exhausted,

The power is exhausted to the maximum,

Still as you plug in the device to use it,

So as caffeine being a charger,

The next morning is an exam,

Writing exam with a sleepy head,

Tomorrow is a seminar presentation,

I stutter and stutter, even though knew everything,

I walk like a drunkard, I talk like a drunkard,

I feel like spinning like a top,

The power of sleep solves everything,

Sleep to charge, not to over-charge,

Over-charge, then laziness strikes,

Again a heat wave strikes,

This time due to laziness.

Sleeplessness and laziness,

Both are evils to destroy you,

Sleep right and you will be alright.

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.

Prose 1 : One Human Body But Ten Fingers

 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...
