Vivacious Inspirit

Ha ha that rhymes. My obsession with planners and journalling began during my ninth grade when I came across this book called ‘Get Organised without Losing It’ by Janet S. Fox. It was like a bible (or Bhagavad-Gita you can say) to the little me who wanted to be organised and practical. It is an amazing book that I would recommend to any parent who has a child of 10-12 years of age. (Or a high-schooler. Anything works) In the book, she gives tips to become organised in your school life so that you don’t miss anything and form a habit of completing tasks. She talks about using planners which will help you to (duh) plan your day, week and month and maybe an entire year. That was it. I was completely obsessed with planners and searched every shop I could, for a planner that would suit me. The planner that I had in mind. But, sad to say that there is no such thing here. There are diaries, heavy heavy diaries with no weekly layouts but daily pages which are too short to journal ...

Helloooooooo, It's been long! I know, I know I say I will post frequently and I always do this. The past month has been a hard one. I have been having many ups and downs and what not. I mean, what's new huh? So, I wanted to talk about lessons..... There are certain lessons life teaches you again and again and again. It just doesn't back down until these lessons are ingrained into your bones. Life's like that, you know. Doesn't back down and does not give two shits. So here they are - 1.) Punctuality - This one has slapped me in the face - I don't know how many times! And it's still at it. Being on time is something I have been learning the hard way. I know it is such an important thing. I know what it is like to keep people waiting, because I have been there too. But, sometimes shit happens and I do get late. I try my best but..... and that is when it stings. A voice inside starts its daily dose of criticism, saying - aha! you've done ...

Avenger - To inflict punishment or penalty in return for; to take vengeance on behalf of. Helloooooo, How are you today?? Good? Happy? Feeling positive? No? Then, go drink some positivityyy.....Kidding, please read this post till the end. Sooo, I am here today to give a book review! *self-applauds* Yes, yes thank you! If you know me, you surely must know that I love books. They are my Bae. My friends are always on stand-by whenever we are near a book store. They are ready to pull me away because I will not leave that spot and stop staring at the books. (Which is not wrong but I’ll be wasting their time too) It is my dream to have my own library. Anyway, the book I am reviewing is called “Avenger” by Frederick Forsyth. It is not in any way related to the Avengers movie, so get that thought out of your head. It is infinite times better than that. (Also, I really really wanted this book to be the first one I review in my book-review list.) *sig...

Helloooooooo, It has been so long. Soooo long. I know! I messed up my schedule and fell into a downward spiral of utter laziness. BUT, this won't happen again. I know I keep saying this in my previous posts too, but not this time. Even if it is a small post, I will update it! *Fighting* (This is a Korean way of saying "Do your best", along with clenching your fists *does the action*. It doesn't mean, to literally fight. haha.) Anyway, it's 2017! A New Year! Another blank 365 days. What will you fill it with? I still remember my "resolution" for 2016. I couldn't keep that on New Years' Eve itself. So that was that. (please excuse me as I laugh my heart out) And also it was a momentary decision made out of stupidity. Resolutions have become flaky. People just throw that word around and try their best to follow it.........for about a week. Then, it is back to the usual repetition of the same (boring) lifestyle. I watch a lot of videos -...

Helloooooooo, How are you today? How was your Sun Day? You probably were pulled along for some stupid function of some far relative whose name you don't even know, right? *laughs* No. I seriously understand that. The plight of having a huge number of relatives which results in no-free-sundays. Anyway, I've wanted to talk about this for a long long time and now that I'm here in Mysuru, I think it's time. The traffic police here are super strict. Or they can't wait to stuff their pockets with money. (I think it is the latter) But they do seriously keep a check on two-wheeler riders wearing...a helmet. Yup, yup. That's what I want to talk about. HELMET. A rider's headache and a pillion rider's frustration. Here, in Karnataka (I think! Sorry for being poor in current affairs. On a completely different note, Pakistani soldiers have burnt schools in Kashmir. Stupids.) the traffic police have passed a law that even pillion riders should compulso...

Helloooooo, It's been a month and 10 days! I am so sorry I kept you waiting... 😛 I seriously never thought that so many things could happen in a month. One month!  Just 30 days! 4 weeks!! Come on!! What can happen in a month you say? Well, let me tell you... The past month (or so) was.... I dont have a word for it (maybe I never will)  but I do have a whole lot of expressions. For example - " gahhhhhh "  or " bleghh " or " rawrrrr " or maybe all of them? Lol... It was a frustrating month. It still is. Kind of. There are so many lessons I've learned and have my eyes opened in ways I cannot imagine. (lol again) 1.) Nobody, nobody , NOBODY can love you more than your parents. (there are exceptions, of course. Some people who adopt a child or guardians who look after kids like their own. These people are all included in my point.) You should be grateful each and every day to have your mom waiting for you at home, cooking you hot m...

Helllooooooooooo, It's been two weeks. I know. I know. I was getting settled in Mysuru. A lame excuse but I have still not worked on everything regarding the internet connection and all that headache. So, I apologize for the late post. I never knew how much I missed Bengaluru. My city. Guess it's true that sometimes, you realize your love only when you are far apart. I missed the traffic (can you believe it?!, I can't either), the people, the vibe, the energy of my wonderful city... Okay, okay putting that aside, in this post I wanted to talk about something that has been bothering me since forever. And in Mysuru, I attended a concert and I got the perfect topic to blog about. MUSIC. Apart from my studies, this was the one thing I was good at. My parents sent me to learn music - Carnatic Classical music - from a small age. I was not allowed to go to sports or dance or any events because it would get in the way of my studies, but this, this I was pushed to it. N...
