My Musings

In the beginning of 11 th grade, I saw my friends obsessed with fictional books. I never really got into the habit of reading ever since me and my mom completed the harry potter series, and that was a long time ago. Plus, it was not so much as ‘us’ reading it than my mom reading it and narrating it to me. After that neither my mom nor I could find anything that grabbed our attention. My mom later moved on to reading Tamil books and even writing one about me which I thoroughly enjoyed. No guy could possibly match the standards my mom has set.😁 I, on the other hand, had completely let go of my reading habit. I mean I did try to read more fantasy like cruel prince, twisted tree and some others that I don’t remember. But none of them stuck. I thought it just wasn’t for me. After looking at my friends, I figured that maybe reading wasn’t the problem. The problem was the genre. I wasn’t a kid no more to enjoy fantasy and wasn’t a big fan of romance either. Thriller seemed more like my ty...

 Once, my parents had gone for shopping, with me alone in the house. I had locked the house and I was talking to my uncle. I wanted to take something from the other room just to show something to them. I cut the call to go get it. As soon as I entered the room, the door closed shut. It was like the wind blew on purpose. Apparently that room lacked a door handle as we were lazy to get it fixed. I had left the phone in the other room. I can't get out of the room. I had locked the main door with the key hanging in the keyhole. Which made it impossible to open it from the other side. And I started crying like craaaaazyyyyy.  Then I began to shout and scream for help. It was a small apartment but apparently my  voice is super low and squeaky. So no one could hear me. You know when you can hear someone singing from the bathroom so clearly? Sometimes even the soap smell is so strong. So I used my brain and started screaming for help from the bathroom. Hoping that someone using t...

  I hv been listening to Arijit's songs since I was a little child. I just didn't know who Arijit was. I left my old apartment on 19th August 2021. Until then, I had a lot of favorite Hindi songs. So, I started creating a playlist of all favorites. As I started feeling more and more lonely, I took the support of music. I started to be obsessed with all those 6-7 songs on my playlist. One day, while scrolling through my playlist, I found one common factor in all of those songs. ARIJIT SINGH. I had been obsessed with him without even knowing it. Then I started to explore more songs of him and fell in love with his voice. It was such a bliss to listen to. Today after like two years I hv 75 songs in my playlist. All of which are sung by Arijit. One of the humblest stars I have ever seen. Now he is the king of songs in Bollywood. 3rd most followed on Spotify etc.. I still add a bunch of songs to my playlist every day. His songs literally pulled me out of depression. Even though most...

                        REVIEW OF SHADOW AND BONE Shadow and bone is a Netflix series. Mostly everyone knows that. I wanted to read the books first to get an amazing experience. It's written by an author named Leigh Bardugo. After reading the first book I realized that the series is pretty different from the book. New characters which were not even mentioned in the book were introduced. I think they mixed two series of books. Anyway, coming to the book, it was really good with some unexpected twists and a sad ending. which is not that sad. Random villagers die. Once you start reading, you can't stop. It's that interesting from the start. The main characters Alina Starkov and Mal have a good chemistry. They go through a lot of difficult scenarios. The darkling is portrayed as a good character. This is just to confuse us as he is the villain of the story. sorry for the spoiler😁. It feels as if you are entering into a new verse o...

                                 S omewhat Happy Holidays so, where to begin...... this is my 9th annual holidays. there is a lot of Homeworks given. they sent it through a pdf. you should look at the audacity of theirs to say happy holidays at the end of the pdf. My mom has been suggesting me to write blogs from a really long time. But I did not do it just because she was asking me to. Now that she has stopped advising, I'm starting my blog. 😂. Anyway, welcome to my blog. If you don't know who I am, stay that way. Last year was good academically. Why care abt personal life. I just hope that the next year gets better. This holiday I quit my music class, mainly because my teacher was way busier than me. I lost interest in keyboard a long time ago. I still enjoy listening to it though. I have interest in singing though. I am going to continue practicing singing so that I don't lose touch. I'm starting me...

  How do I spend my day in this lockdown? To keep myself somewhat busy, I have joined in many classes. I have joined in keyboard class, VSN class, sloka class, Dharma vidhya patashala, Hindi class, vedic maths class, music classes. I have at least two classes a day, and I like it. On Saturday I have all these classes. In keyboard I completed 2 levels. In VSN class we chant Vishnu Saharanama once in a week. Sloka class is conducted every day and I learn many sloka. We learn many things in Dharma Vidya Patashala, like Ramayana, Mahabharata, bhagavathgeetha and many things. I completed the first 2 exams in Hindi and now I am learning Rashtrabhasha. Vedhic mathematics   is combined with Dharma Vidhya Patashala and they teach very simple methods to subtract, add ect. I am learning varnam in music class. I have joined a kanada music class also and I have learnt 4 songs till now. My school classes start on June 10 th . So I guess I will be busy from then .
