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 (young er.  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 no

My First Flight Experience

(I wrote this so long ago and it's time to put it out there!) Hello, How are you doing? Life treating you good? If yes, then enjoy it while it lasts. If not then take a break and relax and read this post! This is a series kinda' thing, where I tell you all about my trip and the experiences. Okay, let's start. And please bear with all the brackets which are full of my viewpoints and opinions and inner voices! I was excited for two reasons: one obviously being that I was going to USA - to another country - to THE United States dammit!, and the other, being it was my first time (ever) stepping into a plane. Yeah. Maybe not a big deal to you, but to me it was! I've not traveled even in a domestic airline! And all of a sudden I'm traveling 8000 miles to USA. Our connecting flight to Dubai was at 4 am. A very early flight. I did not even sleep a wink. I probably should have. We left to the airport at around 1.00 am And reached there by 1.45 am and bid goodby

THIS COUPLE

Hello, It has been a long time huh? I have been super busy finishing my last semester of Masters here in Mysuru. I can't wait to go back to my Bengaluru. A lot has happened over the past year and a half. After coming out of my house, I saw and experienced so many things, which were very crucial to me. I am proud to say that I have come a long way.. This time, I want to talk about this couple I know. I won't tell you who they are, but I will tell their story. I know that it is not my place to say it, but I want to do it as a form of gratitude. I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am for them. If not for them, it would have been so hard to live in Mysuru. They've taken care of me when I was sick, they've fed me warm and delicious food, they've silently wrapped me with love and I am so grateful for them. So, there's this couple. All they have is each other. They spend their days idly, reading and watching television, attending ceremonies and f

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&#

My Dear INFINITE

Hello. It has been long. I am still writing about my trip so that I can post my experiences. I will definitely post them so please wait for it a bit more. But, this is necessary. For me. For some of my closest friends. This post is dedicated to 'INFINITE' and my 'INSPIRIT' friends. I started this morning with a negative thought. I started it by procrastinating. I was supposed to enter a competition and I had not even prepared. Haha I am rambling nonsense. But then, I saw a news statement which shocked me. And I didn't realize the magnitude of it until now. By now, most of you who know me definitely know that I love a k-pop band called 'Infinite' with all my heart. I've even mentioned them so many times in my posts. I came across this band when I was randomly seeing K-pop music videos. I really liked their music and I looked them up. And gradually I came to love them. I found out that they are genuine, they are happy, cheerful people who have

Life Update.

Helloo, It has been three months (for those who were waiting) since I last blogged. It is not an excuse, but I was actually busy. Masters is no cake walk, I tell you. Especially in Mysuru, where more than studies, there's an insane amount of pressure on your mind, from the people. So, this will be a short post to tell you all what I've been doing the past three months. Really though, I did nothing. Last minute record corrections, tests and assignments, completing my dissertation, and then exams. After which there was the much awaited practical exams and seminar for the dissertation. It was okay. (nobody will believe me if I say that so eff it, but I know how I've done my exams.) After an intense two month struggle, I had a whole month of vacation, during which I went to the United States. Screams woohoooo and wakes the sleeping dogs. Oops they've started howling. lol. The hazy San Francisco skyline with the Golden Gate Bridge. I will tell you the

My Journey with Journals

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
