Memory over Breakfast

-
 

Final year students offered us sumptuous breakfast as their last offering to us. It was indeed emotional to see them go with whom we had good time and especially someone junior like me got to learn a lot from them. (Offering of breakfast has become custom for all outgoing students that they must do before their final paper.) It is not just breakfast but leaving their love and care for us. Making one final memory with their fellow neighbours before taking big steps of their life.

We offer prayers for their future that they will be successful whatever steps they take and wherever they go. May they be the holder of Buddhadharma and spread it far and wide.

Character Creating

-
Well, it’s been more than a year since I last made a post. Although I  did  write some, I was unable to make a post. Also, there were much other stuff that kept me occupied. Posted below is a piece of article I wrote as a practice when I took an online course,  Start Writing Fiction , taught at  FutureLearn . It was a good course on how to create a character when we write fiction. Of course there are many methods writers follow, mine is based on the guidelines I received from the course provided by the  Open University . Since I had plenty of time during the first lockdown period (early 2021), I also engaged with other learners and added constructive feedback that one of my colleagues gave.

Finding the Unfound (Part 2)

As I wrote an article  about trying different things and finding hidden talents within, I found some cooking skills in me. 😊 Before this, I would like to narrate some of my cooking stories from the past. I have very few memories of cooking for I grew up in a hostel where the meals were served in a shared kitchen. Only the time we would cook was during some weekends that we (mostly initiated by friends) would prepare food on our own just for the change of taste. I was always a lazy lad, and hence when we divide the cooking responsibilities, e.g. buying vegetables, cooking and washing dishes, I would always choose to do the dishes. I used to think cooking is complicated for it included more activities such as clean, peel, cut, cook properly, and so on. I preferred to stay waiting for the food to be ready and go to wash. 😊 On the contrary, I never got bored of washing dishes though. In a way, it was my responsibility, and I was obliged to do so. My friends were so kind ...

Cheerful Weather

Amidst the COVID-19 and the lockdown that is making everybody's life miserable, the weather here in the UK has become beautiful. Just looking at the sky delights one's heart and makes us forget everything, i.e. fear of getting the virus and losing jobs, changes in the study mode, not finding enough supplies in supermarkets, loneliness, and the list goes on ad infinitum .  Days have become longer—the sun rises as early as 6 am and sets as late as 8 pm. This is completely new to me but I am quite enjoying the new experience. The chirpings of the birds and some weird sounds of the seagulls early in the mornings give me a mixture of feeling but I tend to listen more to the birds making melodious sounds that boost me up, push me out of the bed and generate positive feelings to sustain all day regardless of what is going around. Luckily, I have a sun-facing window from where I can receive direct sunlight till the afternoon that cheers me up, and energises to see things positi...
