A Pause❕





Busy jobs. Barking bosses. Morning schools. Traffic packed road. Horns blowing. Deadly deadlines. Last minute assignments. Pending homework.

In this constantly running world, all we needed was a break. And by break, it does not mean a summer vacation or a national holiday. The world needed a break to connect with themselves. But this break came with a name that horrified each and every human being.

This break connected everyone at different levels. The break taught us the value of freedom, the value of money, the value of health, the value of all the people in our life. I especially, learnt the importance of some of my favourite restaurants :P.

To be honest, throughout my (nearly to be completed) first year of college, I wasn’t able to find out what interests me. Like whether I am interested in competitive coding or development or none of them. I unknowingly made my first semester so hectic by joining a lot of clubs, volunteering in fests and managing my academics along with that, that I didn’t spare myself the time to explore what I’m actually interested in. And on the other hand, most of my friends, at the end of first semester, were pretty clear what they want to do. Some of my friends were interested in competitive coding, some were learning deeply into a programming language like Python or C++; some already knew a lot about web development and app development; some of them used to talk in a language I couldn’t even understand the A B C D of. And I didn’t even know what fascinates me, what makes me wake up every morning or stay late at night to explore more about it.

After doing plenty of prioritizing mistakes and learning a bit from them, in my first semester, when I was getting prepared to improve my second semester, I ended up at my home just 3-4 days before my second mid semester exams. I was pretty happy as I can go back to my home, to my family and my rabbits. After few days, I got a bit upset and started missing my college life and the hostel madness. I started feeling alone. But at the same time, all of my close friends were working on improving their coding skills and learning new and doing projects. And there I was all blank.

All I used to do was to read books, binge watch Netflix series and movies. I finished watching series/movies like Lost in space, The Greenhouse academy, Money heist, God friended me, Four more shots please-2, F.R.I.E.N.D.S (second time) and many more. (You can take them as suggestions :P)

Anyhow, to figure out if coding interests me, I started practicing Python programs online. But unfortunately it didn’t turn out to be my forte. I got really upset seeing my friends doing so much and there I was sleeping and eating all day (I was not jealous of them though, I knew that they all are pretty talented). I felt a bit lost. I talked this things out to my mom and to get me started she made me start a course on web development. And to motivate me to keep learning, she also watched the lectures with me.  I soon started getting a little bit interested in it. And simultaneously, to get myself working, I started writing a lot, not just for my blog but also for myself. I started reading a lot of blogs online, to get my mind working. I started paying attention to Instagram captions instead of mindlessly scrolling through them.

I’m not saying that I have successfully found out what works out for me but I think that I’m on my way to figure it out. This break gave me a pause from my life to take a step back and think about what I am really interested in. It gave me some time to figure out myself.

And I somewhere know that once this break is over and the play button is pressed, the life will again get hectic, maybe even more but at least I got some time to figure out my way and find out a direction.

5 Things my Mom taught me!

That's me - before puberty hit me and my mom - pretty as always :) Puberty hit me good! My mom still the same :') The context behind this very special blog is because it's my Mum's birthday today (PS: You can wish her in the comments below). And to do something special for her I decided to write things that she has taught me knowingly and unknowingly. I think that the most special feeling for anyone would be that they have made an impact, an influence on someone. That feeling is just more than money or love. It's a feeling of respect, and how the days you've talked has to lead to that breakthrough. And being my mom, she knows me for 19 years now (and 19 days, but not my point). I have mentioned her and my dad in many of my blogs but they both have taught me so much more. So, here are the 5 things I learned from my Ma: 1. Hustle as much as you can when you are young - this will ensure a comfortable life later! Now, I know this contradicts the point of 'Life i...

To the best week of 2021!

I know it's too soon to announce the best week but I feel I'm not going to have a better week in the remaining months of 2021.  I visited my Nani house and met my 6 cousins.  Played an endless number of card games. Mostly lost in all. Jammed to 2000s songs while playing. Got challenged to recognize songs just by the starting tune. Won that challenge with flying colors 😉 Got dressed up. Hijacked elder sis's jewelry collections🥵. Troubled her while sleeping by cuddling😈 My Younger sister combed my hair from time to time😂. Lots of internal jokes🤧 Middle sister making efforts to make the house of cards. And me like a pretty nice sister trying to crush that house😊 Comparing heights with both my brothers😬. Still proud to be the tallest🏆. Laughing on almost any random thing. Talking about school and online studies📖 The infinite arguments and exploring options for Movie night🎥 Fighting for who will get that last chip at 1am. Gulping down Jeeru bottles🥤 Everyo...

First days are always exciting, no?

To start with, I forgot to mention the GOOD news in the last blog. We crossed 5000+ All-time views on these blogs after 25 blogs. Yayy!! I am really grateful for this and so happy! I never thought these blogs will ever be such an important part of my life but now I can feel that these are growing into something more big and meaningful for me. So, thank you all of you who always took out time to read and comment on my blogs. I love you all💓 Having said that, let me start today's blog.  Being an experienced stationery-lover, the only thing I find exciting in a new academic semester is to start using new books and pens. Going all out on stationeries. Throughout the academic year, I crave vacations and when they finally arrive I crave using the stationery and new books. It's a never-ending cycle!! (My first blog was literally about  Vacations!!??..  ) Today, I woke up at around 7:20 (which is pretty early for me). I gave myself a pep talk and tried to lure myself to wake up ...
