    About this ebook

    This book mainly deals with my take on trending topics an issue, a happening, or something I have observed and would like to think about.
    This piece of nonfiction is divided into two: My Articles and Essays and My Poems. The articles and essays are mainly based on current issues, trending topics, and matters that have various views. The poems are very general and are mainly written on a lighter note.

      Bygone Writers

      The following articles were first published in Gulf News, Dubai, in print and online. Some were under different titles.

      For Papa, Amma, and Rose, who have helped me in every area of my growth and progress, who have never let me down, and who have always kept their faith that I can do it!

      Preface

      This book simply stands for who I am – a young teenager who loves to explore the world around her, spends a lot of time thinking about it and jots it down, and then tries to speak her mind to a larger public.

      I started writing since I first learnt how to frame sentences. I started with little stories, and I went on to write poetry at around the age of seven. Then my writing grew into articles and essays.

      This book comprises my personal views. This is a collection of my works dating back to perhaps eighth grade, but my ideas and opinions havent changed much during that time.

      Compiling everything and drawing the perfect illusrations wasn’t an easy task, butI enjoyed every moment of preparing this book, and I hope you’ll find this book refreshing as well.

      As mentioned earlier, this book is my brainchild. I wrote this book because I want to let the world know what I, as a gobal citizen, think of the many things mentioned in this book; I thus practice my freedom of speech. I don’t intend to point at anyone or anything in partcular, and neither do I wish to propogate my ideas or make you believe what you feel isn’t right. In the end, your opinions matter the most.

      To all the readers, I would like to say this book is a collection of thoughts rather than information. It is what my mind speaks and what I guess should happen. I do want to bring into light some issues that are ignored and help society think over them. I sincerely hope that this book can bring light to you, and that I may serve society with my pen.

      Happy reading!

      Acknowledgements

      The Almighty, for his unconditional love and blessings that have helped me come
