A New Chapter Begins...

 National Law School of India University.

Yes, the thought has finally sunk in. I am going to the top law school in the country.

And I feel very proud- proud of myself for achieving this feat, proud of my parents and family for encouraging my unpopular pursuit tirelessly, and proud of my friends for having more faith in me than what I had in myself.

Now you might think, oh Avanthika is usually the topper, she'd obviously get into a top college. But believe it or not, if not for the aforementioned people and their support, I wouldn't have made it. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to all of you.

In the words of one of my close friends, I carry in me a small part of every person I've met, and been influenced by, in these 18 years. If you've been a friend, you've contributed to the Avanthika that I have blossomed into today. I thank you from my heart and I truly mean it. And if you've not been one by some misfortune, I still thank you. 'Cause even Kabir Das (the poet) asked us to keep our critics close. You've shown the flaws in me which I have been, am, and will always try to correct and change in myself. 

But even though I'm super excited for college, there is definitely a tinge of sadness- of leaving my people, my city. But trust me people, Avanthika isn't leaving you that easily. Be ready for lots of phone calls, and if my studies deny me the time for that, know that I miss you a lot. And that every other page I study takes me a step closer to coming back home, as a better, successful and happier person : )

How My Tenth Grade Met A Sticky End

 The day was 14th April 2021 . After more than a year of online classes and tons of pre-boards, we all were so tired of reading the same books again and again. The first news that we hear in the morning is this: PM to discuss on CBSE board exams in today's meeting - Final decision expected today. Then there it was ; we got to hear the golden words- Our board exams were cancelled !! I expected most of us , 10th graders, to be jumping around and floating on cloud infinity to the power of infinity instead of nine. The comment's section of Youtube videos announcing the cancellation were full of this one line: "Still searching for that one guy who said I hope you get 95+ percentage in your boards😂." Although personally , I was searching for Sharma ji ka beta ( to console him, you know😝). But with all that said and done, I did see a lot of people disappointed with the cancellation. Some of them said " But I was prepared with everything" and "But what about ...

Mission Impossible: Catching the Cheating Child

Option A- Forehead Option B - nose Option C- lips Option D- chin Remember this age old code for copying? 😁 Ever since this torture in the name of examination started all of us, who have been kids at some point of our life, have come up with codes and bits and what not , only to get good marks and pass this cruel practice. Life was made easier for many students when online classes and exams started. Now students are not subjected to the limited knowledge of the person sitting in front of them during the exam, but have access to answers given by people all over the world. Schools have started using various AI technologies to conduct proctored examinations and prevent the use of such vast knowledge in examinations. What people don't understand is that, if a student really wants to cheat, he/she will surely find a way for it no matter what. Like they say, where there is a will, there is a way ,right?😂. But simple and prevalent daily problems such as power cuts can easily become a cau...

A Tribute To The NDRF

It was while coming back from a beautiful family trip that we heard the news. "Chennai faces worst rains since 2015" was all that news articles read. As the clouds covered the sky like a thick dark blanket, spreading an aura of gloominess and despair, we students who used to dream of such opportunities of holidays for heavy rains were devastated. Online classes were once again imposed upon us as a measure to ensure our safety from the heavy rains. WhatsApp chats and statuses overflowed with pictures and videos of flooded roads and Velachery turning into Venice. The opening of lakes like Chembarambakkam were being live streamed like a reality show on news channels.  Amidst all this were the citizens of Chennai, stuck in their houses of which some were , unfortunately, flooded with water as people tried to safeguard themselves, their electrical appliances and valuables from the water. It was in such a dire situation that the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) was deployed ...
