At first seems to be an alien,
A new species on my tongue,
Some different sounds in my ears,
The letters seems like drawings,
The letters seems like curves,
But at first made no sense,
Everything seems senseless,
And none can I understand,
Some sounds were ruff,
Some sounds were soft,
Honey rolled over my tongue,
For the sweet language,
Sourness rolled over my tongue,
For a sour language,
Bitterness rolled over my tongue,
For the rough sounds,
Salt rolled over my tongue,
For the soft ones.
Be it nonsensical,
Let it be an alien to me,
But the result is tremendous,
I was an alien to this land,
Once seemed to be nonsensical,
But this made me worthy,
These drawings and curves,
Removed the alienness from me,
My tongue moved in a joyful manner,
All tastes were peeping out,
Such is the language learning,
Tremendous is the joy attained.

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...
