well! call me a material girl as i'm someone like madonna….. but listen to me first before you judge……..
So I’m reading this thing I wrote……and it’s hella deep. I’m talking about how the PRESENTS we own makes us rich —basically memories we share with that person who gave us those…but for that feelings and happiness to be felt again we hella need those presents !!!! or you can call it gift or for some people they are tokens of love... anything you like..well! that's not what the point is......
The point is ....those little gifts form loved ones whether they are from parents, friends, relatives anyone who you love or care about…. they might seem small, but they’re actually super valuable. they remind us of the good times, the laughs, and even the tears.
well.... call me a material girl but what I said is a fact………just.....
Just think about it! even when people leave or things change between you and them or maybe they die (just suppose)… ..those things given by them and the memories and feelings attached to them stay with us forever……..just think about a chocolate given by your father on your result day…..that’s more than a billion dollar treasure to you( i still have that wrapper with me) maybe one day he’ll die but that wrapper will forever have that feeling attached to it ,which is worth remembering… just think about those gifts received by you from your best friend in childhood… maybe he or she is not your friend anymore… but those gifts (the tag best friend written on it) is still with you… they’re like frozen in time… JUST THINK ABOUT IT!
You know what's super special? Those little gifts and trinkets our girlfriends give us. Like, that beautiful handmade silver bracelet my bestie gave me .... it's a reminder of our hangouts, gossip sessions, and late-night laughter.(for the fact we are not in touch anymore)
Or a handmade letter my closest friend made for me on my birthday, with intricate thoughts and feelings. It's not just a paper, it's a labor of love. Every time I read it, I feel her warmth and care.
My girlfriends and I have shared so many memories together - from crazy adventures to quiet moments of introspection. And the gifts they've given me over the years? They're tangible reminders of our bond, our trust, and our love for each other.... though some are still by my side and some left.......but i still adore their gifts...and i always will!!
That lovely keychain one of my close friends gave me, with a little charm that denotes good luck just because i'm a religious person. It's a reminder of our understanding, our bond, and our unbreakable friendship.( it still broke though!! but anyways i still wander with that keychain hanging on my purse)
These little things are more than just gifts or trinkets. They're threads in the tapestry of our lives, weaving together memories, emotions, and love. So, let's hold onto them tightly, and cherish the love that comes with them.
Because people and circumstances can change but the feelings and memories attached to their tokens of love and care(gifts) can't.. the emotions by which they gave those gifts at that specific moment and time DON’T. And honestly the cost don't matter…even a 1 rs toffee given by true heart and genuine affection can worth a billion to you… and that truly makes you rich.
CALL ME A MATERIAL GIRL ……but just THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

No Power or Water and -19°C: Kyiv Seeks Relief from Russian Strikes and Cold
Kyiv is facing a winter of unprecedented hardship, as Russian missile strikes continue to ravage the city’s infrastructure while plummeting temperatures push residents to the brink. With temperatures dropping as low as -19°C, the capital of Ukraine is struggling to provide basic necessities like heat, electricity, and water to millions of its citizens, highlighting both the human cost of war and the resilience of a population under siege. The ongoing Russian attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, leaving swathes of Kyiv without electricity and water for days at a time. Energy facilities, power grids, and water treatment plants have been repeatedly hit, exacerbating the already severe winter conditions. For residents, the combination of cold weather and a lack of utilities has created a life-threatening situation. Families are relying on makeshift heating methods, from wood stoves to improvised electric heaters, while authorities scramble to provide temporary shelters and emergency relief. Local authorities in Kyiv are under immense pressure to respond. City officials have activated emergency protocols, opening warming centers and providing water trucks for areas cut off from the municipal supply. Volunteers are delivering fuel and blankets, while international organizations have pledged aid, though logistics remain challenging in a city facing ongoing military threats. The Ukrainian government has emphasized the need for international support, calling on allies to provide both humanitarian assistance and diplomatic pressure to prevent further attacks on civilian infrastructure. The humanitarian impact of this crisis is profound. Hospitals are operating under strained conditions, with some forced to rely on generators to maintain critical care, including for patients undergoing dialysis, neonatal care, or surgery. Schools have had to adjust schedules or temporarily close, further disrupting the lives of children. Residents report that basic tasks, such as fetching water, preparing meals, or keeping children warm, have become daily struggles. The psychological toll is also evident, as families cope with fear, uncertainty, and the constant threat of further attacks. The cold itself is a formidable adversary. Temperatures of -19°C are well below freezing, putting vulnerable populations—particularly the elderly, children, and those with preexisting health conditions—at significant risk. Frostbite, hypothermia, and respiratory illnesses are rising concerns. Medical experts warn that the combination of physical hardship, stress, and lack of access to health services could have long-term health consequences for the population if the crisis persists. Despite the dire situation, the spirit of Kyiv’s residents has shown remarkable resilience. Community initiatives have sprung up, with neighbors helping each other stay warm, share supplies, and look after those most vulnerable. Local businesses and NGOs have coordinated relief efforts, setting up temporary shelters and food distribution points. International media have highlighted these stories of solidarity, illustrating how ordinary citizens continue to support one another even amid the dual threats of war and winter. The broader geopolitical context cannot be ignored. Analysts note that targeting civilian infrastructure in winter is a calculated strategy, designed to demoralize populations and strain government resources. Kyiv’s ability to maintain essential services, mobilize emergency response, and keep residents alive under these conditions has become a critical factor in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, global attention to the humanitarian crisis has pressured both governments and organizations to respond more effectively, emphasizing the intersection of warfare, human rights, and climate challenges. The situation in Kyiv also underscores the importance of energy security and infrastructure resilience. Experts argue that rebuilding efforts in Ukraine will need to focus not just on restoring utilities, but on creating systems that can withstand both military and environmental threats. Investments in decentralized energy, emergency water supply systems, and community preparedness could mitigate the impact of future crises. As Kyiv faces this harsh winter, the city’s residents and leaders are navigating a precarious balance between survival and resistance. Relief efforts continue, but the combination of freezing temperatures and ongoing attacks means that every day presents a new challenge. The story of Kyiv is one of both vulnerability and courage, reflecting the human cost of conflict and the extraordinary lengths communities go to preserve life and dignity in the face of adversity. For the world watching, Kyiv’s crisis is a stark reminder that war does not pause for winter. It also underscores the urgent need for global solidarity, humanitarian aid, and robust infrastructure planning, to ensure that populations under siege are not left to endure freezing nights in darkness and silence.
