Weeping Willow by Ayana Kuttampalli | A Poem

With the outer attire; comes the inner soul. It's the appearance of mine Which makes people think of me in their days of gloom. The dead shady leaves hanging down, Carrying the weight of people judging around. A moment then comes! Portraying the divine purity of nature, A strike of reaching cloud 9! Taking me apart from the worldly chaos; A cold breeze flows taking away all my sorrows. Fluttering my dead leaves; a beautiful hope it fills. Here comes another moment! Leaving nothing to lament Striking the garden clock 11:11 I realised The awakening was straight from heaven Wiping away my sorrows, Saying goodbye to my days of gloom A ray of delight began to bloom. People still think I'm weeping Little do they know Happiness is what I'm keeping. Ayana or in Latin we say 'Beautiful Flower' is a nature lover and an ardent admirer of human thoughts and emotions. Her poetic style is as unique as every existing star in the Universe. She believes embracing every existing and ...

A Conversation with Iconic Star Meenakshi Seshadri | Ankush Bharti

Hi, I'm Ankush Bharti, the Editor-in-Chief of The Holistic Pine.  First of all, let’s just say what a privilege it is to interview you, Meenakshi ma’am. Your name is iconic with being a female superstar in Indian cinema. Your disappearance from the large screen coincided with a new era in the cinema, where Indian cinema almost lost its footing. Gradually, only, it made a comeback with movies like Lagaan, Munnabhai series, and the recent pan-Indian movies from the South. 1. How do you perceive the role of female stars in present-day Indian cinema? Films like Damini are noticeable with their strong female leads. How do you look at today's Bollywood in terms of female representation? Today’s female stars are for the most part focused, talented and ambitious. There is so much more of a professional attitude. Subject matter for female roles appears to be more bold. In fact, many subjects, and topics are being tackled, which would never have been addressed in the p...

Postpartum: A Poem by Bhavya Shree V

  Postpartum Silent Screams Paled face Futile fury, Forbidden tears- Under my pillow's cotton. Scattered thoughts- beneath the RED blanket, I Wandered like a night owl With his colic for no obvious reasons. His was strident While Mine was gentle But it was menacing I tried to widen my deadly lips ; to get back my grin to Unwanted visitors. But I couldn't As if I was holding a grudge "Hanging flesh in arms and waist Dark neck and scars in the stomach, FLESHY ....." They knocked along with sniggers. No sword nor stabbed mark But was bleeding. Nobody told me It is normal to have this Baby blue; Instead I got finest retort from "WOMEN" It is not the first time , someone becomes pregnant We have 'TEN' Perhaps you have But mine was different Since I stopped bleeding last... I Yelled But nobody gave a hoot! About the Author Bhavya Shree V Poet and teacher, Bhavya Shree was born in the beautiful village of  Paravanadukkam in Kasargod district. Following grad...

They were mainly presented in churches to communicate the Bible's lessons to illiterate audiences. The illustrated miracles done by saints include saving people from natural disasters, healing the sick, and assisting those in need.

If at all possible, nursing during the first year provides newborn babies with the best nourishment. Human milk banks provide a solution for mothers who are unable to breastfeed their children due to various circumstances, such as the b aby being at risk of contracting certain diseases from the mother, or the baby being hospitalised at birth due to very low birth weight (and thus at risk for conditions like necrotizing enterocolitis), and the mother being unable to supply her own milk during the prolonged stay due to circumstances like living far from the hospital. Premature infants are the main and by far the most significant category of users of human breast milk. This type of milk may also be given to infants who have digestive or metabolic issues. Wh...
