About



I realised that it’s been a year since I launched this blog but never really made my ‘About page.’ So, here it is.

My name is Mahikaa. I’m a teenager living in India. I like to read all genres of fictional material available. And, as it might be evident, I write for pleasure. And to get things off my chest. Seriously, any time of the year you can expect me to be working on a novel project.

As for the blog, I created it to be able to communicate and discuss the abstract and random thoughts I tend to have. To follow me and my train of thought as I navigate through the topic.

And there’s a reason for my blog to be called ‘My Inescapable Thought Abyss.’

There’s a reason behind every word of it. It’s inescapable. You cannot simply escape your thoughts. They’re always there, whether their presence is appreciated or not. It’s an abyss because it’s seemingly bottomless. That gives me a little idea of what infinity might be, literally.

  1. Oh, look, it's you again. You perhaps submitted twice for assignment one. Anyhow, cool ideas. I love not only that thoughts are potentially abysmal, but also our langauge has to be dynamic enough to encapsulate those ideas. Also, I have started meditating lately and have realized that thoughts and emotions do not have to define me and can be fleeting, but where do thoughts go and if they do go somewhere, where do they even come from. Just try to observe your thoughts coming and going like the sound of thunder in the distance!

On The Annual Whirr Of Excitement

The annual whirr of excitement, as I just quoted it. In simple words, the excitement/fear/anxious feelings among all of us on entering our first board year, grade 10. There’s this whirr of excitement. It’s there every year, it’s there this time too. Although, I must say people are kind of reluctant and nobody was actually excited because as each year passed, the difficulty level, knowingly or unknowingly, shot up. But we were also keen on freeing ourselves from grade 9 so, I guess ultimately, it was inevitable. *Shrugs her shoulders* Every year we’re excited about new books, friends, hopefully more likeable and lenient teachers than last time, which makes up for most part of our worries before we begin our one year journey and we also hope that this one turns out to be better than the last one. Is this whirr going to last? Well, its annual actually, it comes, stays for some time and leaves. It lasts mostly for two to three weeks until the newness of everything sinks amongst

On The Occasion Of World Poetry Day

The thing I love about poems is that they mostly have hidden meanings between the lines. Things that only poets can see. Truths that only poets know. No decipherer can ever interpret the exact meaning of a poem. Not because he’s incapable, but only because poems are supposed to make actual sense to only those who write them. I haven’t read much poetry, in fact, you may say that I haven’t read any poetry at all if we’re talking about the famous poets. But poems really are extraordinary writings. They speak the language of truth. Spoken in such a deceiving manner that you don’t realize it at all, they might talk of feelings felt in the most realistic way possible. It isn’t laborious to sit down and read a poem, they’re that short. Rhyming in poems may sound like a thing for children’s poems but in reality, it piques everyone’s interest just as much. We often find ourselves relating to the things we read in poems. Some lines tend to cast such a spell on us that it’s difficult

On The Meaning Of Wisdom

What is the meaning of the word 'Wisdom'? Recently my nine (almost ten) year old sister asked me what is the meaning of the word ‘wisdom’? It took me sometime to figure out what meaning of wisdom would make sense to a fourth-grader. I mean, I knew the meaning all right, but somehow found it a little difficult to explain. Google says, the word ‘wisdom’ means the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement; the quality of being wise. And wise means having or showing experience, knowledge and good judgement. This was okay but somehow felt difficult for a child to understand. I tried to simplify it in my way. I told her that it is a kind of knowledge that one gains from experiences. I simplified it further by saying that you grow wiser with time and you gain wisdom towards a particular thing or happening which you experienced. A person cannot be called wise by his intelligence only. It requires experience to become wise. I also made sure to check
