The world around us is coming to an end

No, literally. If we continue these atrocities against each other any longer, I have absolutely no doubt there will be no Earth, no ‘Vasudaiva Kutumbakam’ to live in or anything. Anyone keeping up to date with the news will know that mankind is crossing its limits, formed for the people of this generation. The Russia- Ukraine war is its most significant example. Millions of innocent lives are lost and sacrificed for the greed and power of some political leaders, or dare I say, communist leaders. And this is just the war that we hear about. Imagine the number of souls being lost in the smaller parts of the world unheard or unseen by anybody.

Have you ever had a big change in your life? Like, I don't want to exaggerate, but I have. I'm not pretending to have changed my identity and country, but yeah. Not a huge shift as half the people in the world go through, but it was pretty big for me. I don't know if it was for the good or bad, but I'm guessing it was a good change for me. I grew more confident, realized how the world works, even though I may have been a bit dumb, and most importantly, grew mature with the change. For those of you who don't know me, (I mean, why am I even pretending people are reading my blog, I don't know. But I have just been reading Rick Riordon, so you can expect a bit of his style in this) I am Sandhya, as you may have understood from my domain name. I used to live in Bangalore before I shifted to a place on the coast of Karnataka. A huge flex. Beautiful scenery. Calm atmosphere, though humid as hell.
