In layman's terms, a user interface is the feature of an application or device that allows users to interact with it. It includes buttons that users click, reading text, text entry fields, images, sliders, screen layout, transitions, interface animations, and all remaining items the user may interact with. Imagine you are filling a contact form on a company’s website, your user interface, in this scenario, most probably would comprise of a text box, drop-down list, radio buttons, and similar components that allow you to fill in the requisite details into the company’s portal.

To summarize, it can be said that UI comprises elements that are needed to be designed, such as animation, interaction, or any other visual element.

 

Types of UI Design

There are several types of UI design; however, the following three tops the charts-

1. Graphical user interface (GUI): A GUI is an arrangement of interactive visual components of computer software on a digital screen. A GUI displays components that convey information, and allow actions to be taken by the user. The components could switch color, size, or visibility as the user starts interacting with these components on the screen. The essential features of a well-designed GUI should ideally be sketched to support decent findability and learnability. 
2. Voice user interfaces (VUI): A voice-user interface lets humans interact with computers using voice. It uses speech recognition to grasp voice commands and questions; moreover, it also uses a typical text-to-speech method to reply. An ever-increasing demand for voice-enabled assistants across the globe showcases the fact that its usage is quickly gaining traction.
3. Menu-driven interface: A menu-driven interface allows you to interact with a device through a series of screens or menus. It displays a range of options in menu form via pop-ups, full-screen, or drop-down. It can be both verbal and visual. ATMs are an example of a menu-driven interface.

The First Glimpse!

Once I've a glimpse of you, I'm compelled to dream!

It's an ordeal, darling, as my heart has started to scream.



Your hair is silky and dark, as dark as a cloud!

For your creation, muse mine, there must be a different mould.



Your exquisite eyes! They are an entanglement of agony and innocence.

Leave aside my hapless heart, dearest; they even enthrall my soul's essence!



Your rosy lips, they hold the nectar for which I'm thirsty.

And, a smile on them, my flame, surely suffices to make me hearty.

 

An Ode to My Muse

My heart yearns for you; my mind relinquishes all control. 

It is hard to resist your thoughts as the urge arises from my soul!  

I pray for forbearance and don't know for how long I have to toil like this. 

Without you, oh my muse, my state is akin to the absence of water for a fish.

For the ever-thirsty me, you are a dew-drop; you are petrichor. 

My eyes long for your images and heart covets even more.

You are like a full-moon; you are akin to a breeze.

I'm losing my sanity, even my breath is about to freeze!

Goosebumps, pulses out of order, and terrible heartache. 

I know you need time but beware; high is the stake!

It is seldom possible to convey feelings via words. 

Would there be an amalgamation between our two different worlds?

Both-way sword

Love is a sword that cuts both; gradually, it would show its growth!

Our hearts would connect, and they would beat in identical rhythm. You may try putting up a guard, but sooner or later, it would be trounced by the mayhem!

You too would lose your sleep; the separation would make you weep!

                                                      Pulses would beat faster, and breathing would be heavy; instead of the usual straight, your life path would be wavy!

Happy Rose Day!

My roses belong to you, but the distance thorns my heart.

Your fragrance intoxicates me; you would be an ace assassin if seduction is an art!

You are a soothing breeze; you are a storm.

You can be callous and still be warm.

You are vibrant; you are volcanic.

Akin to a wave, you tread; 

thatz, my love, is indeed magnetic!

Obstacles would sway away, shackles would be broken.

My passion for you doesn't dwindle; embracing you is my sole haven!
