Sometimes I Wonder...

  Where Light Bends (by Saavanna Satheesan) You look at me And I see your smile But the one behind you? She cries. Being scared, being broken I see the teeth and the storms Because I hold them all. No one can do it alone. And I agree. They say I’m calm, that I don’t feel much But how can I be untouched? When I can carry all their weight. I’m polished and patient. Trained to reflect, What the world wants to see But no one asks what I see. Behind the glass, I crack. I dream of becoming a window Of turning soft and open Of being calm and free. I wish light would pass through me instead of bending back from me I too want to be looked at Not just into. I hope someone sees The fingerprints I never wiped away To touch the surface and feel The life and ask, ‘what about you?’ Because maybe, just maybe, I am not glass at all. Maybe I’m just a soul, To see through everyone else – but me.

A symphony of soft pink light, A flower bathed in morning’s grace. Serene, untouched—a gentle sight, Nestled in its sacred place. But then, a silent shadow crept, Dark clouds veiled the pastel glow. Soon the heavens softly wept, As life had trials to bestow. The flower bowed, all damp and weak, Burdened by each heavy drop. Its soft pink hue grew dark and bleak, As the storm began to stop. One by one, the petals fell, Leaving nothing but the stem. What once had bloomed so bright and well, No longer shone, a lost gem. Until a kind hand reached with care Gathering the petals, torn apart She taped them back, a love so rare Mending a soul that had lost its heart She reached out over the flower, Shielding it from further scars. Then she whispered, soft in power "Even in the storms, I'll show you the stars."

I t was not born to be just there But so it was, brushed aside in despair It stood in the center, orbited by the others Only to be compared to its brothers Even the distant galaxies laughed at it For its failure to outshine them seemed so unfit And so it stood in the centre there Alone, uncared for, unaware But soon came an asteroid that wisely said 'To be the sun, o' mighty one Thou should know to trust whats begun For come what may, you are the one So never question yourself, shine like a sun' The Sun expanded, fierce and bright,   Absorbing the power of endless light,   Yet the planets still mocked its lonely might,   But this time, the Sun paid no heed to their spite.

Put simple, exoplanets are just planets in the universe that don’t orbit our sun. We believed that they existed for hundreds of years despite having no evidence or any detections, until eventually our technology became good enough to let us detect these mysterious little worlds. 1.2 – History into the discovery of exoplanets Back in the 1600’s there was an Italian philosopher named Giordano Bruno who was far ahead of his time. Bruno believed that the universe has no center, and that the stars in the sky are just like our sun, with their own set of planets and moons surrounding them. In fact, it was this very belief that had him tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition as these facts went against the Catholic beliefs of the time. He was found guilty and burned at the stake. Perhaps the first believer in these wonderful worlds burnt at th...

(This post contains all my knowledge about black holes that I have come to learn recently) 1.0- What is a Black Hole? Blackholes are maybe the most elusive objects in the entire universe. They are extremely dense, massive objects that have such a strong gravitational attraction, not even light can escape their pull. Our galaxy alone could contain over 100 million individual black holes, but since they emit no light, they are extremely hard to find unless they are eating. 1.1 – How are Black Holes formed? Blackholes are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity at the end of their life cycle creating a singularity, a point of infinite density at the center of a blackhole. 1.2 – Sagittarius A* At the center of our own galaxy lies a supermassive blackholes named Sagittarius A*. This Blackhole has a mass of 4.3 million times more than our sun and is surrounded by a disc of gas and dust spiraling into its gravitational embrace. 1.3- Gravitational Waves of Black ...

  The two doors stand in tranquil there. One black, other with withered flowers My head is unclear, in the heavy air Over my sealed heart, my thoughts towers.   I have an option, I know I do But if withered the second, isn’t black the better? My heart is slowing down, to black I drew Yearning for peace goes my dead letter.   I glance back at the withered door With withered flowers hanging around it Painted white from the top to the floor How the withered flowers seem unfit.   Wait, its flowers. Just withered Doesn’t that make it better than the black? But for a second, it blossoms, I pictured So to life, from death I step back.
