BOOKS


Books.
Stories.
Novels.
Tales.

Apart from music, the other thing I can't live without are books. I love reading. Diving into the world of enchantments, fantasies filled with faeries and magic and hidden powers or those with mysteries and clues and justice and romance..... *sighs*. I am lost in the genres of the books available in this world.

I love to read. When I was young (younger. get it? lol), I was so proud of myself that I was a book nerd (Let me tell you in advance that this was because I had read all the Harry Potter books and some of the books in my school library). Little did I know that there was a whole other world out there filled with so many amazing books, full of other worlds and such fantastic characters that (now) keep me awake at night.

I should reiterate that I am not bragging about my reading capabilities. Hell no. Compared to the wise people out there who have read, like 600 books roughly (goodreads stalking) I am nowhere. My reading list is not even reached a 3 digit number. 23 years of my life and I've not even read books that count up to 3 digits. Shame. But yes, in my family I am regarded as a 'reader' and my cousins (sometimes) come to me for book recommendations. (Okay, just one cousin. But I am so freaking happy that there's at least ONE).

Anyway, I found out about this huge reading geniuses through YouTube. There is a BookTube (not another website per say) but a community in YouTube, of readers who make videos about books - books read, to-be-read, reviews, spoiler reviews and reading vlogs and so much more. (My favourite being Sasha Alsberg).

So why am I telling you all this? I honestly have no clue. I just want to get it out.

As someone who reads and loves reading, I must say that it is both a wonderful experience and a sad one (for me right now, at least). I feel sad that I can't express my love for the books I read with someone, I can't discuss any book with anyone because nobody around me reads the books I read. That last one just....... gets to me, even though I try to brush the stupid thought away.

So, to HELL with this f**king sad feeling and YAY to moving on, being a grown-up and doing something about it.

I LOST MY PHONE

Disclaimer - I am writing about Android phones. I have no idea about iPhone, except that it also has 'Find my iPhone' app in it. So what do you do when you lose your phone? If this is your first time losing it, then you better hurry. AND it will really help if you've turned on the location and internet in your phone. Trust me. It will be worth it. If you have not, then please say goodbye to your phone. I'm sorry for your loss. By sheer luck (I don't know what else to call it) if you have turned on the location and the internet, then  - 1. Borrow your friend's phone and install the app 'Find My Device' from Play Store. 2. Sign in as a guest by entering your email address. The app will locate your phone. 3. If you have just misplaced it or dropped it nearby, you can hurry and reach your device. But, if someone has stolen it (yes, there are people who still steal mobile phones. It is 2018 and apparently this has nothing to do with people...

Judgemental.

Hello.... Yeahhh, I know I said I would blog whenever I can and here I am! So today I'm going to talk about judging people. Do you know when that moment when we see a person, a stranger and we just observe them.... For a while....?? ( yes,mostly when we are jobless) And we tend to make split second decisions about them by seeing their behavior?? Yes. That. We have to stop doing that. I was at a petrol bunk once. Waiting to air the tyres... And before me was a person, maybe 30 years or more?? I don't know since he was wearing a helmet. Anyway,we're waiting and he went before me... And told the person to change the air pressure.. You know there's a definite air pressure for the front and back wheels of a bike and its mostly 28 and 32... He asked him to change the pressure. There was a long line behind us and I wanted to reach home early... So I was kind of mad that he asked to change the pressure. I thought, 'wow,this man is so rude! Can't he see the lin...

A MONTH

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...
