Promise

Hey people. All set? Sunny bunny!
Waiting for my Grade 10 Result which was to be announced today 🎲
Never mind, I bring you a heart touching poem by Lieke who I met a few days ago on Instagram (her username is mewierdo.poetry- Go follow her!). I was surfing through writers with unheard words and I found her. She is so amazing, and her poems are mind blowing. I loved one of her poems which illustrates a 2-sided story and so I decided to put it up on my blog. Why not to hear beautiful unheard words of unrecognized writers?
I promise, I will be doing this from now. I would post stuff of other marvelous writers too. I would grow them along with me. Let's grow the world people, do comment what you think.
So here's her poem...

I promised you
I made a promise
That I'd meet you over there
Under the tree🌲, behind the playground
We were going to talk.

Because we thought
Maybe this could be something more πŸ’‘

I'm sorry I didn't show,
But I couldn't πŸ™‡
I knew that when I would,
I won't be able to say this to you
We can't be something more,
I couldn't do that to you. πŸ’”

I'm sorry
But I made another promise
And that is, that I'll never hurt you πŸ’˜

You promised me
You made me a promise
To meet me right here.

Under the tree🌲, behind the playground,
I thought this could be something more. πŸ’‘

But you didn't show,
I don't think you ever will.πŸ™‡

But I'll just keep on waiting
Under the tree,
In he pouring rain πŸ’¦πŸ’§

Awesome, isn't it. Email me your stuff and I would post on my blog. And yes, do comment what you think of this poem.
Until the next,
Vidhi

Pluviophile πŸ’™


For the storm to arise.
For the flowers to bloom.
For the crops to rise. 
For the grass to gloom.

The love for the petrichor, 
As the summer draws to a close,
The smell that we all adore,
When the monsoon rains have rose.

Just as the fall begins,
With a light warm drizzle,
Grandma closes all the tins,
With the virid children's whistles.

Showers bring down the intolerable temperature,
With pearls of water on faces everywhere
And blissfully shines the mothernature
Truly, God has granted a superior share. 


I feel proud of this poem πŸ’Ÿ For all the rain lovers, go and help it out. Trying to grow audience here, do support :) 
Until the next,
Vidhi

Oh, it's Mother's Day

Heyo friends! Met back... I am so tired today of Botany. It has made me sick! I was curious to know how notable scientists studied so I checked out some pins and guess what I found. I didn't get anything what I was looking for, but I found a very touching story of Thomas Alva Edison which I would like to share today.
First let me give a brief description about him.

Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America's greatest inventor. He created such great innovations as the first commercially practical incandescent light bulb and the phonograph. A savvy businessman, he held more than 1,000 patents for his inventions.
So here the story begins...
One day Thomas came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her,"my teacher gave this paper to me and told to only give it to my mother".
His mother's eyes were tearful as she read the letter loud out to her child: Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn't have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.
Many, many years after Edison's mother died and he was now one of the greatest inventors of the century, one day he was looking for old family things. Suddenly he saw a folded paper in the corner of the drawer of a desk. He took it out and opened it up. On the paper was written: Your son is addled (mentally ill). We won't let him come to school anymore.
Edison cried for hours and then wrote in his diary: Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.
.
I don't have anything more to say after this than. People celebrate mother's day on social media. I mean, almost 90% of the mothers here I know would not be using any of the social media apps or websites, but yes, kids post the pics of them and their mothers with such beautiful captions about which their mothers might not know a weensy.
.
In my opinion, mother's day is just like a normal birthday or an anniversary. The way we treat our mothers the whole lifetime makes a real difference. It does not matter if we put a pic on Facebook with 400 likes on it, but it really matters if we just go to her and tell her just a few words of prestige, I am sure she'll love it and appreciate you alot. I don't have anything to say for a mother, like she if the one who gives us the belief like-minded Go girl, go you can do it. And this is the belief which gives us strength to face the world. Like of course, my mother has told and I can do it. This one's more important. All the sacrifices she has given for us, they are incredible. We think it is her duty to do that, but it isn't.
Just because you haven't seen mothers who give birth to children, look after them till I think 14 or 15 years and then leave them alone to face the world. Others are different, and that makes a difference. I won't detail this, it isn't that valuable. Lastly, let us all remember one thing:
Mothers are like buttons. They hold everything together!


Happy Mother's Day all the mothers of the world! Because you are the one who understand things that are unsaid. Thanks for everything mumma..

The smiling hacker

"You don't have to overthink when you are doing what you love"

Heyo readers! A really unique topic today... Guess what? I am going to tell you about the smiling hacker. Yea yea, you read it right, The Smiling Hacker πŸ˜‚
He is a very cool man, seriously. A secret  hugger-mugger of the world. Let me tell you, he is called  Hamza Bendelladj and  he is originally from Algeria. He is the one who is ionised by millions of Algerians.

Hamza Bendelladj is a version of modern day online Robin Hood and is a hero worshipped in his home country. The Algerians and hackers from Middle-Eastern region view him as their idol whom they seek to emulate. Hamza reportedly used his SpyEye trojan to milk money from people from the west to give the same to Palestinian charities closer home. More so because somebody on social media spread the rumour that Hamza was handed over death sentence by the US court.

Hamza is a legend in Algeria, a country which is also going through turbulent times politically. Hamza who operated with the code name is ” BX1 ” 1  (isn't this interesting?) and was dubbed the ” smiling Hacker “, born in 1988 , from Tizi-Ouzou in Algeria. According to the people who knew him, Hamza could speak 5 foreign languages and was proficient in coding, a career option available to only the elite Algerian class.

Algerians and Middle-Eastern hackers but for the West he was nothing less than a criminal who was on list of FBI’s most wanted cyber criminals. He and his friend, Aleksandr Andreevich Panin aka ‘Gribodemon’ and ‘Harderman’ were responsible for losses of over $20 million to Western banks through their SpyEye trojan. He and Hamza used to sell  “SpyEye” online for $1000 to $10,000. According to authorities, Hamza and Panin sold this blockbuster malware to more than 150 Cyber criminals. One of the their client is believed to have stolen $3.2 million during 6 month period using “SpyEye“ malware.
Hamza Bendelladj who is just 27 years old will get to spend 15 years in a US Penitentiary for the financial crimes he and Panin committed. Despite his admission of guilt, Hamza’s supporters continue to hack various websites across the world, including, of late, Air France and a Virginia-based university, calling for his release using the hashtags #FreeHamzaBendellaj and #FreePalestine.

Algerian hero who is 1/10 most dangerous hackers.
Hacked 217 banks, sent $280,000,000 to Palestine, very huge amount people.

His sentence? death.

Ow. I actually see him as a hero and obviously he is. Such a cyberpunk he has, this talent might be so useful for other important things.
You liked it people? Do comment :)
Until the next,
Vidhi.
