Do you ever wish you had a sibling but you don't actually want a sibling?

To start with, I'm now better. Turns out 2nd dose spared me from its effects. The only defective piece in my body currently is my left hand. But it'll get better with time. So no worries. Also, I wanted to thank all those of you who texted me such beautiful 'take care' messages. I really felt blessed getting them. Moving on to today's blog, if you don't know I'm a single child -  so like a normal single child, I got (still get) all the attention and love from the family (scoldings too). Seeing my cousins fight on petty things and grabbing each other's hairs, I felt blessed I didn't have any siblings. But also seeing them having each other's back made me want to have one.  When I was young, I always switched between 2 moods - "Why don't I have a brother or sister?" to "I'm fine with my toys and teddy bears." And I always made sure that my parents know my choice of whether I want to have a brother or sister so that they ...

The day started on a good note, ended in...

Today I was supposed to get a second dose of vaccination and I was dreading to fell ill - you can guess the first dose didn't go well with me. So, I stepped out as soon as I could and went to the nearest center. Now, this dumb mind forgot that today is Wednesday and in Ahmedabad, vaccination centers are closed on Wednesday and Sunday. So, I went there and got disappointed. Now, I thought if I'm out now, I should use this time. And I went to Riverfront. This is the reason why I love living in Ahmedabad, my house is soo close to the river. Although it stinks sometimes, the view is just amazing and so calming. And for all the Amdavadis, if you want to enjoy the riverfront without all the crowd - go at 11 am. It was so quiet and beautiful. Many who know me, know that I'm a Thalassophile and a Hyrodphile in general - so any water body makes me really happy. Although there were some cute couples clicking each other's solos and then selfies - it was good watching them. Some we...

A Halcyon Day < 3

Pardon my photography skills :(                                                     Do you sometimes feel that life is a series of good and bad days and nothing else? Like driving on a hilly road where turns are unprecedented and all you can do is drive. Enjoy the views on a clear road but hold the wheel tighter when the road gets bumpy. Today was an enjoying-the-view sort of a day for me. Today's mood can be described as halcyon, coz I felt calm. Not saying, I was without any work but you know some days you just feel inner peace even with an overflowing to-do list. When you just know that all will be good and that you'll be fine and will make out of your turmoil. I seriously have no definite reason why I was feeling this way but I rather not think of that and just enjoy the day. I woke up around my usual but late time coz it was supposed to be my last day of...

How to watch a Horror movie even though you are scared?

Now I don't know about you guys but I am one of those who hides her face or closes her eyes in an attempt to avoid seeing the dreary faces of the ghosts. But I'm also that person who sneaks a little from this hiding and catches a snap of that face and gets nightmares later. Be it Annabelle's ugly doll or Conjuring's nun (VALAK), I have had nightmares about literally every horror character or movie I've watched. Many times I'm the lead too. One of the repeating nightmares is that the garden in my house is overflowing with snakes - anacondas in particular. These dreams particularly happened after I watched every single Anaconda movie out there. When I was young, watching horror movies was a perfect excuse to sleep with ma and papa. Psst...I still use this tactic hehe. Anyhoo, to survive those horror movies here are my weird ways: 1) Have snacks for distraction. Trust me a packet of chips or a bowl of popcorn is the best way to distract yourself from that ugly face...

My First Internship - Arowa Webtech

The Team of Arowa Webtech Now, I know many will think it’s no biggie to write about but for me it is and firsts never come again. This blog might not be for anyone else but me. For the future Zeba to read so that she knows how her first experience in the professional world was and how she has grown ever since. (Although right now I’m feeling super-duper professional maybe future Zeba might have different views). So, let’s start from the beginning, shall we?   This started back in the month of February 2021, when one day Ma was seeing the WhatsApp statuses and came across this poster saying the opening of internships as a Creative Content writer. She passed that onto me to look at. Now, having no idea what Content Writing is, but having a little knowledge of writing (from writing blogs only), I sent in my resume with practically nothing noticeable in it. And to be noted I tried before too, to apply for an internship in the same field but didn’t get much success with it. I had no ide...
