102 Shades of Me by Aarushi Gupta




102 Shades of Me is a meaningful poetry collection and a work of layered emotions. 

Aarushi Gupta's 102 Shades of Me is a sensitive, emotional, relatable poetry collections about love, hate, hurt and self-care. This brief collection of poems takes a stance from the beginning, asserting the lover's role as a force influencing others. The collection embodies this desire as a inspiration for art , "Break my heart, I need some inspiration for my art" and as a way of shifting to self-love. Using emotional fragments that each encapsulate a single idea, the free verses of this poignant collection tend to focus on well-defined narratives, symbols, or metaphors.

I felt, this collection had a quadrant theme. I was shook when the whole collection sounded like my story;- People love so deeply and one day the distance becomes greater & the becomes less frequent. every time your phone lights up you hope it's them or at least, you wish it was them. if not checking up on you, just saying anything at all. because yesterday you asked them how they were, & day before yesterday you asked them how they were, & the day before that too. & how much more can you do right? how long will the conversation be one sided?

so you start to care less about what they do but fragments of them linger in your head. "what did i do so wrong?" you didn't. there's nothing wrong with you at all. people change, when their need changes. but remember the times they were nice to you & were there for you instead of the bitter memories. it's hard to accept but, they've done their job in your life. everyone who walks in has a purpose & when they accomplish that, they leave. don't be disheartened, for with every person that walks out; someone better will walk in. but the cycle will repeat. you're just going to have to learn how to be ok with it. 

Similarly, the quadrant theme of emotions of love, hurt, hate and self- love will continue to circle life. My experience apart, It's perpetual and we are becoming more dynamic once sweet memories are no more sweet and haunt us.

The book’s openhearted and sincere language is appealing.Its overall tone is encouraging and direct, and no syllable is wasted. The poems’ lines are clear and uncluttered, with declarative statements, emphasis, and tight end rhymes favored. Though the nature of life, human's emotions and poetry are recurring themes, each piece is unique. I felt, all pieces of poems are too relatable and had a direct impact on me.

The linguistic affinities and divergences between the phonetic systems of Korean and Dravidian languages

T  his article delves into the linguistic affinities and divergences between the phonetic systems of Korean and Dravidian languages, drawing insights from Chapter 1 of "A Comparative Grammar Of The Korean Language and the Dravidian Languages of India" by Homer B. Hulbert. In this seminal work, Hulbert explores the intricate parallels and distinctions that exist between these two language families, shedding light on their historical connections and typological characteristics. By examining phonemic contrasts, phonotactic patterns, and other phonological features, Hulbert offers a comprehensive analysis that enriches our understanding of linguistic diversity and evolution. Through this exploration, we aim to uncover the shared linguistic heritage and unique traits that define both Korean and Dravidian languages, contributing to a deeper appreciation of their rich cultural and linguistic significance.  fig.1: Similarities between Tamil ( தமிழ் ) and Korean ( 한글 ), the word ...

Null hypothesis Vs. Alternative hypothesis

  Null hypothesis Vs. Alternative hypothesis A hypothesis is a claim or statement about a population parameter. Usually, the results of a sample are applied to generalize on an entire population(s). For example, in a class of 30 students, 12 students are sampled for their test scores. The result is that the average score is 83. This result would, however, vary with another sample. A hypothesis can be a null hypothesis or an alternative hypothesis. A null hypothesis is a statement what the majority holds to be true. The opposite or complement of a null hypothesis is an alternative hypothesis. Let us understand a problem: A light bulb manufacturer claims that the average life of their light bulb is 1000 hours. A worker believes it is not 1000 hours. He tests the claim by taking a sample of 500 bulbs. A null hypothesis (Ho) is an accepted truth and assumes that the alternative claim is false. An alternative hypothesis(H1) is what the researcher is trying to prove. In this problem, the...

BIOLOGICAL ANNIHILATION _6TH MASS EXTINCTION_2100 NO EARTH ✅

During the past 500 million years, there were five "mass extinctions". This was a  study by Gerardo Paul Ehrlich and Rodolfo.  The big five mass extinctions Late Devonian, 375 million years before - 75% of species lost. End Permian, 251 million years before - 96% of species lost. End Triassic, 200 million years before - 80% of species lost. End Cretaceous, 66 million years before - 76% of all species lost.  Scientists say we've entered a sixth mass extinction.  According to a  new study , humans are the primary cause. Earth is on the verge of sixth mass extinction.  Scientists warn that the "6th mass extinction" of wildlife is more severe than perceived. Scientists had analyzed both common and rare species of animals world. The Earth’s sixth mass extinction is more severe than thought. It would appear by just counting lost or surviving species. The population of all species is in decline. Their only natural habitat is decreasing worse. ...
