You dream of a beautiful day But all you see is  a gloomy sky And here's yet another  day to waste With droopy eyes and an elongated sigh  Alas! You have let the grim clouds Blur the vision on your inside No wonder the unpleasantness lurks Beside you, with your each stride.  But have you ever tried to see the beauty of the day  Despite how the sky manifests?   For maybe you have looked around too much   To forget its within you that everything vests. 

In the month of June, when the sky wept and the rain overwhelmed the lands, I was born and thence I fell in love with rains. Every time I hear the rain splatter against the roof, or watch the tiny droplets chase each other down the window glass, my heart warms up with severe nostalgia. There was a time when my cousins and I would sit on the verandah of our house, watching the rain trickle down the roof tiles and make paper boats with old news papers. The boats once ready to sail would be set off to the never never land which was apparently somewhere down the drains. But all the fun would last only till the thunder strikes along with the fancy lightning and everyone would scream and huddle around in some dark corner of the house. The elders would calm us down saying that its just the sound of battle between Gods and Demons and we have nothing to worry about (Maybe because we weren’t participating). Rains started to get more fun during school days. Whenever the schools reopened, the road...

    Dear past me, Hey there! I hope you are doing well. I have been busy but if you ask what ‘s up? I don’t know .There is nothing much to tell. Life throws so many things at me and all I can do is be anxious. There are times when I just sit by my window sill, contemplating about life and zone out for a while. In the melancholy of those moments, I really do wish that time had never split us apart. I wish I hadn’t changed. I wish I were still you. I have kind of started to envy you now. You have those things which I wish I hadn’t lost on my way of growing up; a heart brimming with pure love and the warmth of sweet innocence. And look what has become of me? I am drowning in sadness, burning with hatred, pacing with worries, dealing with fears and battling with time. In short, I am not doing that great as you would expect. Being naïve and care free is really a blessing, you know? Because, once you get to know what the world is really like, there is no going back. I...

  Only recently did I come across the concept of ecobricks. Ecobricks are basically used plastic bottles stuffed with non-recyclable plastic material to set a density.  Instead of throwing used non-recyclable plastic in waste, which will eventually end up in land fills, we can twist and stuff such plastic waste inside bottles till it gets full. Such eco bricks are used in constructions, fencing, making furniture etc. It's inspired from this idea that this castle has been built. So that it can be used to stuff the waste plastic, at the same time it occupies a corner of the house as a beautiful show piece and a constant reminder to follow a sustainable living. #Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
