Python is a high-level and interactive programming language. It has been designed to develop a syntax that is easily readable and similar to English.  Python is portable; it not only works on different operating systems like Windows, Mac, Rasberry Pi, Linux, etc. but also operates on a variety of hardware platforms with the same interface for effortless use. This enables programmers to build web-based software for desktops and laptops and mobile-based applications for Android or iOS smartphones.

Python is a great language choice for beginners who wish to explore the realm of the coding world. It is easy to learn, read, and maintain. Python offers a flexible approach and supports different programming techniques like object-oriented, procedural, and functional programming.  

Python connects to database systems and efficiently handles and modifies data to conduct and perform complex mathematical calculations. Hence, Python becomes a fitting language to provide agile prototypes and composing instant software.

Since Python offers a better structure and can easily integrate with other languages like C, C++, Java, it becomes the prime choice to develop Mobile Applications.    

Being an open-source programming language Python allows the programmer to modify and structure the code as the programmer wishes. And to make the entire process of building an Android or iOS application by using Python easier, there are diverse types of frameworks available. 

Frameworks like Flask, Web2Py, Pyramid, CherrypPy enable the possibility of building a wide range of products. 

When it comes to the types of Android or iOS application one can build using Python, it can be as follows:

-> Trendy Blockchain Applications and Console Applications

-> Audio and Video Applications

-> Game Apps like Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean game that has been developed using Python.

-> Organized System Administration Apps and agile E-commerce Apps.

-> Machine Learning Applications.

Some of the popular applications that people often use on their smartphones like Instagram, Pinterest, Spotify, and Uber, and Reddit are developed using Python.

The availability of various libraries, frameworks, and versatility of its code leads to all the more reasons to consider Python language to develop an efficient and desired application. 

                                                                       Bleeding

Despised relish,

an emotional deception,

With mere memories of content, now perished,

And remains of damaged innocence.

Consumed by pain and rage,

Vicious time trapped in a withered page.

Stray hope wavered the breathing,

Like a closed wound still bleeding.

                                                                   Stars On Her Window

                                                                      written by Kajal Swarup

    One slipped down, then the other, some were dragged down with the one above, and in no time 

    they all gave in, finding their way to the end of the window as more raindrops found their way on the         

    glass.

    The drops that appeared on her window were looked upon like stars, for they glowed on the glass 

    when light reflected on them. For her, it wasn't the sun or the moonlight allowing the drops on her 

    window to shine. Instead, they were a cluster of her own stars making patterns and frequent showers 

    trying to keep her entertained in monsoon for as a kid she wasn't allowed to step out in the rain.

    So she stood by the window, standing on her toes, resting her head on the windowpane while she 

    listened to the downpour and spent her time thinking, how would it feel when the stars on her 

    window touched her skin.

    She lived inside during the rains for her mother who dreaded the rain for she despised the 

    darkness it brought and said - " It is moisture that covered the earth like a curse, sadness 

    pouring through the happy sunny wind." 

    What could she do, she had a mother who loved her enough to not let the darkness leave a trace 

    on her beloved daughter? Only if she knew that perhaps what she thought was darkness was an 

    adventure for her daughter, that what she saw as a curse was freedom for her daughter. But, as a 

    loyal child who loves her mother more than anyone in the world, she respected her words 

    and never spoke of her will.

    Time, as we know, takes away the people we love, now she stood there in a black dress beside 

    her mother's grave unaware of the clouds gathered above her.

    Her grey eyes blinking restlessly as she resisted the tears to fall out, repeating her mother's 

    words between deep breaths, "stay strong" she whispered but words couldn't provide the comfort 

    she felt in her mother's arms, so she stood there with a stumbled heart, letting her breath falter 

    while her feelings were still hostile.

    As the clouds above threatened her with thunder, her heart jolted to rhyme with her breath. 

    She looked up at the grey sky above her and her gaze shifted to her mother's gravestone, should 

    she finally give in? or should she keep her promise?

    She takes a faulty step allowing her heels to break, dropping her limp body on the ground. 

    Her body, weak and pale felt pain strike in, letting in, the memories of her mother's last words. 

    "Perhaps I should have let you feel but I just wanted to protect you, I love you June." 

    Her words sink in June's heart as she looks up at the sky and realizes what she meant, so when 

    a raindrop finally touches her cheek, the cold drop on her warm skin lets a sigh escape her lips. 

    And then it pours on her like the stars showered on her window. Her hands in the mud 

    supporting her limp body in the cold air, her long wet damp hair and skin covered in traces of mud 

    while the stars slipped on her skin. This time, she didn't move, didn't run, instead looked at her 

    mother's grave and said -

    "You protected me, mother, from sadness and pain. You didn't let anything dark touch me. 

    But only if you had taught me how to defend rather than hide, maybe it wouldn't hurt this much. 

    You kept me safe and told me to be strong. But how could I be molded into something strong 

    when the person shaping me only taught me to escape. I love you, Ma. But I want to breathe. 

    Crying doesn't make me weak; it tells me how strong I've been, and my stars aren't darkness, 

    they are heavens way of blessing me, letting me finally feel. " she spoke out loud, letting her 

    feelings out for the first time, feeling pain for the first time.

    I know, pain is an awful feeling, but it only makes you dense, stronger, and wise. Today, June 

    found herself through the pain. Maybe we are meant to feel the pain to be grateful for happiness. 

    Our feelings make us stronger; they make us who we are. So, let your feelings pour cause hiding 

    them will only suffocate you. Let them out cause your emotions are meant to be more than your 

    stars, your emotions are meant to be felt not just be known.

How to live after a pandemic?

                                                                      written by Kajal Swarup

    It's halfway through the year and it feels like a lifetime, doesn’t it?

    Every time we think about things getting better well, some “things” we never imagined, pop up.

    But is it true?

    Did we not expect that the sinking humanity wouldn’t have to face the truth?

    Did we not know that to survive on this planet in peace all we need is humanity?

    Think about it like this –

    The wildfire, the news that stirred the world with prayers, hoping that the fires would subside.

    But did we do our part?

    Australia has a fire season, bush fires are common here, but the fire that spiraled out of control 

    and killed thousands of animals in 2020 was not just the result of yearly fire instead it’s the 

    product of earth’s changing climate aka global warming.

    Little did we know that somebody opened pandora’s box this year.

    As a notorious threat and series of deaths loom around the world hinting a potential world war.

    Silver birds falling from the sky and losing legends in the west while the swarms of locusts

    threatened the skies somewhere else.

    As floods took over some parts of the world, some drowned in realization amid fallen 

    kingdoms where guardians lacked mercy.

    As volcanos erupted in the east, riots for rights emerged in the west.

    And while we all spent sleepless nights wondering about tomorrow, the news flashes about 

    a pandemic locking down the entire world.

    But even the closed world couldn’t breathe for the ignorance of the past lead to an explosive 

    ruin of dreams.

    All that, and we’re still only halfway through!

    So, how do we learn to live now?

    We’ve seen so much, felt so much, could we ever go back to the normal?

    First, if the past was your normal, you better not want to live there.

    Because our normal lead the world to this day.

    Our past taught us to disobey our emotions and show neglect to what matters.

    This year has been harsh and it is going to fill a fair number of pages in history. But it’s also 

    taught us so much. It’s given us so much. How?

    Well, It taught us that when the situation surpasses the ideal conditions and things take a 

    devastating turn, as the wildfire, the whole world came together through prayers, donations, 

    and volunteering to help cope for the better.

    When protectors lost their path, we used our voices to show them that justice finds light even 

    through those who do not wear uniforms.

    Our teachers found new, innovative, and transformative ways to help knowledge reach their students.

    While the police stayed up and cautious, safeguarding the cities with sheer strength and 

    pure motive to spread awareness, provide help to the needy, and made sure that we all stayed 

    home safe and secure.

    We observed our nature heal, pollution levels decreasing and the ozone layer depletion that 

    started 50 years ago has now finally started to heal itself.

    We’ve known about the discriminations for years but this time we spoke out loud and 

    woke a revolution that is filled with hope and love for each other as we stand side by side 

    for black lives.

    And when it came to a pandemic, even that couldn’t stop us from showing love and appreciation 

    to the frontlines and people who are saving lives with no complaints.

    We made sure that our people were buried and bid farewell traditionally, even though we were

    running out of cemeteries.

    Away from the daily hustles, coercive stress, and pacing time we were gifted with this 

    stillness, a break that we all needed to catch up with our family and friends and gear up for 

    a hopeful tomorrow.

    As we transform the phrase ‘stuck at home’, by inculcating new skills, reflecting on our past 

    and building dreams for a whole new world.

    People all over the world singing and clapping in their balconies showing their respect for 

    the ones who live to save others, conveying- how much they value each other’s lives.          

    This year, we witnessed examples of unity like never before.

    The entire world sounded one.

    That is how we live.

    That is how we are supposed to live.

    Together, as One.

    Not waiting for normal, but carving a better definition for humanity.

    So, when history speaks about 2020, It will talk about the bad and the unforeseen.

    But let’s make it say how We Learnt to Live!

    Our world needs us. Each one of us.

    So, when the world opens up again and you step out,

    This time - Let’s do better!
