Curtains Closed

My life has changed colours
on your entry as well as the exit.

When I was asleep,

now like a phantom, is haunting.

The cheery impulse we shared,
is now my lone seizure to be sad.

I’ve let go of some pieces,
but still holding on to many.

EARTH HOUR

Earth Hour, organized by World Wide Fund for Nature, is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect the planet. Engaging a massive mainstream community, Earth Hour was famously started as a lights out event in Sydney, Australia in 2007.

It is an annual event held towards the end of March every year when people across the globe turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a commitment towards a better future.

Yes, it makes a difference.

SYZYGY

Syzygy isn’t something that’s related only to astronomy. I browsed to find details on the word’s origin and

Climatology For Life*

It was an interesting class on Geography today. The discussion on climatology gave a beautiful lesson.

“Climate is what you expect, and
Weather is what you get.”
– Mark Twain

Weather on  a specific day becomes unpredictable even with a historical report on long-term climate. You might have made a perfect analysis for a plan.
