Prose 27 : Unbound By Blood But Bound By Kindness

 Unbound By Blood But Bound By Kindness
                                                               - T ABRAHAM

    We are bound with each other either by a blood bond or through a bloodless bond. When one asks which one is more valuable, one would say that the one bounded by blood is a precious one and one does not want to give upon them at any cost. The relations which are very precious and one cannot buy them even how rich one can become are the relationship of a child, mother and father. The relationships that are bound by blood also includes the other members of the family tree as well but not all are considered to be valuable even though the bond is a blood bond. When we think about a bloodless bond we try to think about the term 'friends' as someone who can be placed under this category. But think about various other people who act as an upliftment to your life by being with you in a bloodless bond. Here, we are going to ponder upon the valuable bonds which are not bound by the criterion of blood but by the acts of kindness.

    The true bond one can have with is with the God Almighty and the one that is similar to it, that is none other than the parental love and affection that one receives from their parents. The brotherly and sisterly love is yet another aspect. The love that resembles God's love towards his creation is something that every human being yearns to attain. Some people do not easily make friends with anyone or everyone but puts every person into a screening process to check whether their love is genuine or not. The relationship that we are bounding ourselves without blood is a very sacred one.

    Many people go and approach anyone and everyone because of their money, fame and knowledge to simply exploit and misuse their skills in achieving something in their lives. The misuse of the genuine person's resources if known to the person who is getting exploited would feel shattered and at the same time angry about the situation. The relationship ultimately breaks and there might at times be a pure hatred being sown into the mind of the genuine being because of this incident which makes him more suspicious towards every person who is approaching him.

    It is seen that truth is really a bitter phenomena when it comes to fakeness being brought out in a relationship and it causes really a very deep wound which takes day to months to years for one to get healed from it. The genuineness is something that is really very essential in a relationship.

    Then, moving on we can see that the age old adage, 'A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed' which plays a very important role in a relationship. Many claim to be our friends and when we are in need of something or we are in a critical situation many wash off their hands and go away from us. But they need us when they are caught up in the same situation. This is yet another thing that is a factor that is required for a genuine relationship.

    Hence, we can infer that a genuine friend is someone who is a person who does not come to us with an instinct of exploitation but an instinct to grow together and cherish the success by being a shoulder to us in the journey of hardships and he is someone who caters to all our qualifying criteria to be called as a friend. The relationship is of great quality of purity when he stands by our side when we need him and he does not give way for any false accusations to break the relationship.

(Note: The essay is about friendship and not about romantic relationship. The term 'relationship' is a broad term and the readers are asked to read it in terms of friendship.)

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...
