Digital Survival



Digital Survival









The current lockdown has definitely brought enormous changes in our day to day life. I mean to say in everything we do or are ought to do. So here comes the digital phase in our life which has completely transformed us. The Covid-19 Pandemic has led people around the world to indoor confinement but they can carry out as many activities as they can due to the digital revolution.  People never anticipated technology to be a part of their life so soon. Believe me this change is going to stay with us forever. Youngsters are enjoying this digital phase while the older population is struggling to learn many things. Digital illiteracy is slowly disappearing. Working and studying from home has put many restrictions on our solitude (privacy) but our cash registers are ringing in. Now we have many online visitors, our days have expanded and our nights have contracted. Our relationship with the mobile phones has reached another level where we can’t afford the breakup as they   have become the priceless possession we could hardly sacrifice for anything else in the world. It’s the source of financial transactions, and entertainment. Technology has become the best buddy of mankind after the books hence even in this pandemic it has kept us busy with senseless and sensible work, well informed and alert and we owe our gratitude to the marvel of science. This heavy dependence on technology has made us very much mechanical and monotonous in everything we do.



The virtual world resembles the real world with its charms but is not the alternative. For instance the difference between the two windows is that with the window on the laptop you see the world while  your home window  shows you life swinging on the wings of liberty ,the sweet song of the cuckoo attracts  and relieves you from your worries, stress, anxiety and the fear of uncertainty . Also the fresh breeze does its bit to liven you up. The dawn  and the twilight have their own charisma but to see them you need to wake up before the sunrise. There is a lot of difference in seeing them on screen and off screen. The light drizzle of the rain or heavy downpour is more fascinating to capture your attention for a while. These days shall soon pass till then use nature to supplement your life along with technology if you want to survive and emerge victorious.

The Pristein Ring Master : A circus called the world

A poetic reflection on leadership, chaos and hope. The Pristein Ring Master   People gathered to witness the world’s oldest circus. At first, performers like fire breathers and jugglers brought delight, Aerialists — trapeze artists and acrobats — amazed the little ones with their flights. But soon, the strongman gave a stern look to the tightrope walker . The magician tried to douse the fire breather’s flame. The clowns — once beloved — entered the ring, And played the worst trumpet known to fame. Their friendly tussle turned too real, Peace, to them, was an unfunny deal. As with world leaders who, too, reject stillness, Addicted to noise, chaos, and the ringing of cash registers. Amid the uproar, the absence of the Ring Master was deeply felt. A cry rose from the crowd — where was he? Behind the dark curtains, a shadow stirred, And from it emerged the Ring Master, finally. With a whip crack and silent grace, Even the furious clowns froze in place. Normalcy returned, laughter r...

The Gini and Me

The Gini and Me I once opened a bottle and a gini came out. The stories I believed as a child melted quietly in my youth— never real, yet never forgotten. As I slided toward maturity, AI gripped the world around me. I want to bottle AI. Remove it, use it, pack it again and again— like a tool, not a tether. Let me feel the wind with skin, not sensors. Let me fail, foolishly, and laugh with no algorithm watching. Let me look as I am— with no filters. Let me be a human— with a brain and a beating, perseverance spider.

Essence of life

A contemplative poem on life journey. Essence of life lies in moving on — from stages of attachment to detachment , desires to nothingness , compulsion to repulsion , selfishness to generosity , darkness to enlightenment , fakeness to authenticity , certainty to uncertainty , vocal to silence — and sometimes, just being an observer and not being judgemental.
