Throwback

-

 

In the igen(internet generation) era, we come across various trending words on the internet each day. The recent past had thus given a burgeon to some English words commonly called as hashtags.



The feeders of web browsers, the hashtags are well connected with the life of humans even though it merges psychology and business.


In such a way, throwback is a hashtag that is gaining popularity. Posts are fuelled with this tagline often to relate to a past incident. But the actual synonym of the word throwback as a noun is something that has the same feature as the past. It's not the past just recalled.


Actually, when we repost our old pictures with the hashtag #throwback, the one thing that we could realize is ''the change". We are no more the past self in appearance and maturity.


Recently, my friend told me that she had a friend suggestion on her Facebook account. Unfortunately, the Facebook algorithm suggested connecting with herself. Yes, that's her own old account for which she lost her login credentials.

She has just gone through her old account. Ahw! It was such an active account, with lots of shared posts, pictures of joyful school days, interactive comments and so on. She couldn't even believe that it was an account handled by her earlier. 



Switching for a second to the present, she took a deep breath and said, How much have I changed from then and now! Once I was always engaged in purposeless activities, life was just a counterfeit play. But now I could visualize a change. A change that is fertile, a change that is fruitful, a change that is fecund, a change that is gratifying. She stopped her words there.

Changes are constant, the world is encountering changes daily, and even a second could result in a destructive change. And so were our lives.

However, are those changes fruitful, that they could build ourselves and others? Are those changes gradually making us brand new? or just another version of the old?


In the book of II corinthians in the Bible, chapter 5 verse 17, it is proclaimed, "therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold all things have become new". Yes, we are made new, and our past has no control over us.




Again stressing the word throwback, let us throw our past back and press on towards the new life.


Discard the past, Decode the destination, and Focus on the final reward.

  That was a day when all of the family members were gathered for a particular event. The house is filled with people of all ages. The voices of each group overwhelmed the other group, and that of kids ranked high. No secret place was left without people. Though most of their conversations are in fact unproductive, they believed that they made their day. They had only a day left to disperse and so everyone wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. All of a sudden, they could recognize a disgusting smell somewhere inside the house. It seemed to be the smell of smoke. Something is burning, that if unnoticed could lead to danger. Rushing towards the direction of the smell, they not found an electric heater that remained on for hours and it started burning. Thankfully it was spotted sooner than it would hoist an effect. On a quick investigation, it was been revealed that someone forgot to switch it off and with heavy exposure to electricity the heater started to burn. Thus the word 'forgot

Pruning

  Gardening is an art. Little blooms or an inch of growth, small sprouts mean a lot to those who are fond of gardening. Indeed, the beauty of sparks of morning sunlight touching the soft velvet petals of the colourful flowers in the garden depicts the results of those little efforts laid by the gardener. It has often brightened my days. However, gardening entails more than just beauty; it involves the behind-the-scenes actions that contribute to such colourful blooms. It includes potting, watering, fertilizing, proper placing, and most importantly, pruning. The process of pruning is less noticed, but it plays a vital role in the growing of plants. Pruning is the action of removing certain weaker parts of plants that hinder growth by absorbing energy and wasting it. In other words, pruning stimulates faster growth. Often e-commerce sites come up with stunning stock clearance sale ads that catch customers' attention. The main ideology behind stock clearance sales is to clear old inve

Evening

When I was around 20 years old, I lived in a house on the second floor of the building. The building was on the corner where the streets intersect. This is a spot where various happenings can be captured by the eyes' lens. Let me picturize what was captured on the spot every evening. Evening, a perfect time to withdraw or return. There is a school near my house and when it is evening, the sound of the school bell makes the students dismiss, returning to their homes. Minutes later, employees from various workplaces return home. Evening, a perfect time to terminate. Whatever was initiated at the start of the day must be either fully or partially brought to an end. The systems are shut down marking the end of the day; machines are stopped and shutters are closed. Because it's evening. On the other side, the yellowish rays from the sun turn grey marking the dusk.  Evening, a perfect time to experience a semi-darkness, neither bright nor with the glow of artificial light. Vision bec
