Answer» Friday, 18th August 2015, 10-30 p.m., Dear Diary, I visited the land where my relative Ozymandias had got his statue carved out to immortalize himself. I was shocked when I reached there as I found that his face was lying in the sand and there were only his trunkless legs on the pedestal. I was reminded of him the way he was when he was alive. He had a boastful nature and always held himself in esteem. He was arrogant and egotistical. He had his statue carved out so that people would remember him even after his death. But what I saw there was only a broken statue as if it was making fun of human pretensions. It was conveying the fact that man is mortal and time is all powerful. No one can beat time. It spares none. The man who was so powerful and always thought of others as inferior was lying in the sand of course, it was his statue but still, time had defeated him, making everyone realise that pride hath a fall.

Dear Diary,

I visited the land where my relative Ozymandias had got his statue carved out to immortalize himself. I was shocked when I reached there as I found that his face was lying in the sand and there were only his trunkless legs on the pedestal. I was reminded of him the way he was when he was alive. He had a boastful nature and always held himself in esteem. He was arrogant and egotistical. He had his statue carved out so that people would remember him even after his death. But what I saw there was only a broken statue as if it was making fun of human pretensions. It was conveying the fact that man is mortal and time is all powerful. No one can beat time. It spares none. The man who was so powerful and always thought of others as inferior was lying in the sand of course, it was his statue but still, time had defeated him, making everyone realise that pride hath a fall.
