Little Things

Hellooo,

I am sorry for not publishing a post yesterday. It sounds like an excuse but it's not, because I was really tired and had a very irritating cold (couldn't stop sneezing like a banshee). :D
But I am alright now and so here I am!

Today was a good day.... As usual......but I couldn't attend first two classes because I am the coordinator for inter-class competitions and had to sit at the stage to take down names for the competitions....
It was really fun! I was able to meet other students of my college..... People I normally see but don't speak to them. There are so many different types of people! So many beautiful, confident people!

Then, I was half-asleep in the classes (bwahahaha) and we had a lecture by a very distinguished Professor, on 'Chemistry for Entrepreneurship'. It was very informative.

So here I am, to tell you that I realized something today. I saw a beautiful sunset when I was on the terrace... So beautiful! Even though I couldn't see the complete view (obstructed by buildings of course) but the sky was just a hue of colors! So pretty! There was orange, pink and a hint of yellow, with blues and violets and awesomeness!
It got me thinking, does everybody look up to the sky at least once in their day?? Do you look up to the sky and just soak in the color?? That brilliant bright beautiful blue! Sometimes, you can see a patchwork of bright white clouds which look like little cottons stuck there in the sky... So peaceful it makes you smile!
Or do you just see somebody helping a stranger? Or you yourself help a stranger? Or you say Thank you to a stranger and they give you a warm smile... Or somebody gives you flowers (this happens very rarely, because of this stupid society which has this stereotypical thinking that receiving flowers is like receiving a proposal...BS) or your friend gives you a big warm hug....Or you laugh along with your friends/coworkers about something... Your words line up and you hi-fi!

There are so many little things that happen day to day that we completely forget to see!! We don't take the time to notice them or  even pay attention to them! We spend all our energy focusing on the negativity and the hurtful things and stress-out and put ourselves down..... And at the end of the day we are completely exhausted and......


 we never look up at the sky! (lol, sorry had to make that point)


No, seriously speaking, please be positive! You can do it! Try to look at the little things that happen around you....everyday... Maybe when you are going to work or in a bus or in a bike... Just watch... There is so much to see...
You will notice the antiques of some bike riders, the hilarity of people talking to their Bluetooth, or shouting to their phones, people singing along songs (yes, yes people, that will be me!)or people scratching their butts, or you may exchange looks with a stranger and a mutual smile, which will make your day better! A baby smiling too...Isn't that amazing!?

Please notice these little things.... the happy things....because they will add up to make your ife wonderful... Aren't your days your life in miniature?...
Try to make the best of it!!


Lots of Love,
Stay Healthy, Stay Happy.
PG.

The most important lesson that needs to be taught in schools

Photo by Andy Montes de Oca on Unsplash As someone who enjoys anime and manga, I had never watched Naruto, until recently. I remember watching the show's ads when I was a kid and I'd heard about the show, but I never watched it partly because it's long and they have prolonged it by including many repeated scenes. Due to the lockdown, I had the time I needed and so, I watched the show. In simple terms, Naruto revolves around the story of a boy (named Naruto) in a small village who is shunned by everyone because he harbors a beast inside him. The story starts off small and gets interesting later where the plot expands (obviously). It's a story where villains have more fans than heroes and every character has something to teach you. What I love most about Naruto — the series and the boy himself— is his unwavering belief in himself. While the author tries to paint him as a stupid kid who is stubborn, I feel that Naruto has one of the most important traits that so many kids...

Life Update 2.

Well well well, Hellooo from Boston!! How are you?? How's life? Everything going well? (stupid question to ask when it's the middle of the week; it's still Thursday...No it's Friday back home. I'm blabbering) For those who have no clue whatsoever, I am in Boston! to pursue my second masters' degree in science journalism. It's been three weeks (almost) since I've been here and it has been very challenging. (Yup, challenging is a good word to describe it.) So you guessed right. I will be talking about the past weeks and the transition. I was and am (still) excited about being here. I think that's something that won't go away, at least for now. I'm trying not to be excited because I have this stupid belief that if I keep up this excitement, something sad will happen. I think I'm confusing excitement with expectations. Back to the point, I was excited about coming here and I was ready for everything. I knew full well it would be d...

A STANDSTILL

Hello, It's been a while. This whole post is going to sound like a puzzle or maybe just stupid. But it is what it is. The past few weeks have been a revelation. Haha. Revelation ( noun ) - a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way. Ironic that I chose that word. I have been tested like never before. I pushed my boundaries and made leaps, some foolish ones. Okay, most of them were foolish. Every aspect of myself has been challenged and it has left me feeling empty. I thought I hated drama, but I have learned that I am very dramatic. I feel like I don't even know who I am. So, I am going to explore. I am going to question every thought and filter everything that comes into my life. I will go back to certain memories (which are not going to be that reliable) and look at them differently and I will revisit what I put into my head when I was a child. And therefore, I have even questioned why I started this blog in th...
