Electric guitar

The electric guitar,in my opinion is the best instrument ever
If it wasn't there,I wouldn't put on my headphones-never
It's tough to master
Without it,bands would be a complete disaster
It has a vast range of sounds and tones
One reason,why there are thousands of songs on smartphones
It might be the foundation of amazing sound
Once you see it in a concert,it's hard to turn around
The combination of it,drums and the vocals is mind-blowing
A huge chunk of why the music industry is growing
It feels amazing,playing the beautiful strings
While one bangs on the snare,and one sings
Connect it to an amplifier
If I get the hang of it,I would never retire
No electric guitar,the band's in a black hole
It's a need for some classic rock and roll
This magical instrument is usually the star in many songs
If it's there,the music will have no wrongs
Crank it up to insane mode
Play it on the side of a road
The next day,the street would be crowded
Without it,most bands would sound like they're clouded
Just remember a thing
The instrument takes a band from zero to hero

Nobel peace prize

This time the Nobel peace prize was won by two people.One of them was Malala,and the other Kailash  Satyarthi.Both of them come from the same reigon.Pakistan is very near to us,and Malala is from there.Malala is a teen who fights for the girl child,and was almost killed two years ago.Kailash Satyarthi is the head of a NGO,called Bachpan Bachao Andolan.This NGO is totally against child labour.Malala is very young,but I still think she deserves the honour.As for Bachpan Bachao Andolan,it's a NGO started in the 1980s,and has now saved over 80000 children from servitude.The stated vision of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) is to create a child friendly society, where all children are free from exploitation and receive free and quality education.I think both the winners are doing a great job,and are contenders in making Earth a better place.The Nobel Peace Prize isn't just a normal award.It goes to people who really have done a great job,and are very capable of being role models for the globe.Boy,wouldn't it feel awesome to get these results.But I don't even like to hear these two words in the same sentence.Child and Labour.It would be an awful life,if you ended up burning your hands while making crackers for Diwali,and see the bosses(adults) sit like a couch potato.Sends down shivers down my skins,thinking about me being in place of the unpriveleged kids.So hats off to Kailash Satyarthi for support and creating awareness about this cause!

Partitioning Places

In today's world lots of places are trying to be divided from some place.I'm gonna tell you about two of them which are Scotland, and Catalonia. Let's start off with the most recent one,Scotland.Scotland's target was to no longer stay in UK.It was a close call,but they failed to get out of the United Kingdom.People who wanted Scotland to be independent were 45%.If 6% more people from Scotland would have taken this side,the Kilt and Bagpipes would no longer be seen so commonly.Though I felt only three countries would be there in UK-Wales,Ireland and England though it turned out my point of view was wrong.The Scots are back to square one.It truly was a nail biting election,with such a close call.Now over to Catalonia.Catalonia is a region in Spain which consists of Barcelona,one of the most popular cities in Spain.Catalonia wants to be independent from Spain.Now if you ask me why,they have a different culture, different language and independent nature.Catalonia has never felt to be a part of Spain.The fact that every region of Spain has a different culture, and a couple of others have different languages, seems irrelevant, as does the fact that the region has been part of Spain since before it was Spain! But there is a good thing too.Barcelona would no longer be a part of the La liga(Spanish League),and my favourite team Real Madrid would no longer struggle in the match vs Barca.They'll be as cool as a cucumber because they wouldn't have to be so tired in training.And that also may mean a free ticket to the top of the table,and holding the cup.Well,let's see.On November 9 they'll discuss this issue,which is only a month away.Let's hope for the verdict to be Catalonia another addition in Europe!

Mirages

Mirages are one of the puzzling mysteries on Earth.Have you ever seen one?They're not common in Gurgaon,but you'll be unable to count them in Dubai.Traveling normally,and suddenly you can see water in front of you.By the time you reach it,it vanishes.Sometimes it makes me thirsty,when there's no water in the car.But it's all the sun's fault.To be more specific,the reflection of the sun.Your reflection in the mirror when you're wearing the latest clothes might seem good,but not when there's not a bottle in the car,it makes my kinda thirsty.In hot places,you'll find about ten of them in two minutes.And it's not only water,other objects too.Seems like the Bermuda Triangle's younger brothers are Mirages.In a way,they might be related.I had forgotten about them until I went to UAE this summer.If ther were so many on the roads there,imagine how mamy would you find in a minute in the scorching Sahara Desert.Mirages do not help us in conserving energy.Think you haven't drunk water for ages,and you're tired of finding an oasis in the desert.Then suddenly you light up like a Christmas tree,and start running at your fastest pace.You reach close,and then there's only some sand and a cactus.It may get on your nerves,but you gotta get used to it in sweltering places.Mirages do sometimes make me look up to the sky,in which I check for a UFO which is controlling the mirages and playing a little game with us,but most of the time I fail to succeed in finding the source of these strange appearances.Well,I'm gonna investigate further and deeper into this interesting subject!
