The Sunken City of Bilaspur

Since childhood, whenever I travelled towards Chandigarh or came back from there, my father always stopped in a restaurant named ‘Lake View’ in Bilaspur. From there we could see a vast expanse of the Gobind Sagar Lake. A boat rovered on it, smoothly sailing on the sea-green waters taking passengers from one end to the other. During the summers and monsoons, the lake water spread out in a larger area but during the winters and spring season,…

Life in a City around Air Pollution
Those were the winter months and finally my family decided to go out for a vacation. We went to visit my younger sister in Kota, Rajasthan. We stayed there for around four days. The city was dapper and well organised. There we could see studious teenagers walking or riding their bicycles around. The spacious city though was very close to the arid regions of the Thar Desert but still was greener and considerably vegetated and there was no trace of air pollution. We decided to stay for a day or two in Delhi as it fall on the way back to our home. Our plan was to roam around…

Organ Donation : A Help for A Cause
I walked through the main entrance to the hallway; there was a long endless queue on the counter. Everywhere around me I could see people, of all sorts. An old woman crossed me walking with a stick and her granddaughter helping her to walk out of the doorway. I had no idea where to go and whom to ask.

I decided to move inside the hall and search the destination by myself. A…
