6. Unlike poles attract

"I am a good, god fearing christian" some thing that she used to stress a lot. That was true, she always held her beliefs close. She always had a clear idea what she was and what her limits were. Unlike Aadi who always tried to break limits she was more practical.

Poornima, meant full moon. "She's the closest thing ever to a full moon" Aadi used to say. It was quite right. She was beautiful. 5'5 tall, average weight (may be a little more, but who cares), dark eyes, and had a very beautiful heart.
Aadi remembers an incident where he asked Poornima about the number of children she wishes to have. "4, may be 4+2 with two adopted ones", she replied. Aadi couldn't stop his laughter "and how are you going to feed them dear" mocked Aadi. "When you have mouths to feed, you will find a way" her reply was stern and serious. That was Poornima, when she talk about life she meant business, she never took life lightly.

May be that's because she was brought up like that. As a four year old she flew from Chicago to India. Led a life in boarding schools till the age of fourteen. She waited for summers to be with her parents. She always said about how she misses a life that Aadi enjoyed with his parents. She held an American passport as she was born in Chicago.

While speaking about Poornima there is one person in her life that no one can ignore. Vimal John Varughese, her big brother a democrat(a Bernie Sanders guy). He was her guardian, her father, her mother, her universe. Vimal was just 2 year older than her but he was up there whenever she needed.

Aadi and Poornima were two sides of a coin, contrasting colours,unlike poles . He was Hindu, she was Christian. He was Indian she was American. She lived in the West he lived in the East. Her name meant moon his name meant sun. She was serious and he was light.

You could go on counting difference and if you tell Aadi about all these differences he would say, "Only unlike poles attracts !" .

note: This is a jumbled novel. Read all the parts and find the connection. Happy reading!

The Post Which I Wish No One Would See

I am pretty sure she remembered me on my birthday just like I remembered on hers. It's been a year exactly since we had broken up. But there had been not a single day without me remembering her. The best thing about love is that you tend to value it more once you lose it. It was not her fault, nor mine that we had to split, all the time that I had spent with her over the years, I had never thought that I would move away from her.  Even now, while thinking of her, while writing this piece of my mind in here, I can't control myself. Tears are rolling down my cheeks like it was just yesterday that I had to bid her adieu.  My world would never be the same without her, my life is never the same without her but I have to move out, I have to move away, I have to be the farthest from her so that I won't hurt her again.

Can Anyone Explain What’s Wrong With Farm Bills in India?

  Can Anyone Explain What’s Wrong With Farm Bills in India? The Kerala government has called for a special session of their assembly to protest against the farm laws that were introduced in the parliament on December 31, 2020. It's quite unclear how the farm bill is even affecting Kerala, one of the major demands of the farmer’s protest in Delhi is to do away with the amendments in APMC laws. APMC’s doesn’t exist in Kerala.  Three Farm Bills were tabled in the Monsoon session of the parliament, Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill, 2020, The Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, Farmers (Empowerment & Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 Let’s look into each of them separately, Essential Commodities Act (Amendment) Bill, 2020 The essential commodities act was introduced in 1955 inorder to stop hoarding of essential commodities which would result in price rise of these commodities and which in turn

5. Bye Adi

Kempegowda International airport in Banglore is one of the busiest airports in South India. Majestic and beautiful like the city itself. Aadi slowly moved towards the check in counter for getting his boarding pass. He showed his tickets to the lady there, "Happy flight to Guwahati" said she and gave that orchestrated smile. You know how they smile. He reached Banglore from Kochi couple of hours back its a connection flight to Guwahati. Its his second trip to the city and he was all packed up to become an IITian. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are among the most difficult schools in the world to get into. The University of Oxford accepts one out of five applicants. IITs take in just one out of 50. So it is little wonder that for any Indian child with ambitions, getting into an IIT looks like the pinnacle of achievement. Aadi too dreamt of getting into an IIT. Its vibrance and diversity always attracted him, more than that he was attracted towards the public atti
