For this week's Composition - I, we thought of presenting a few small pieces in a hope that they inspire you to grab that notebook and let your thoughts flow! If it does neither of that, just read through and relax. If they don't make sense, definitely share it with others ;-)  Wonder Do you know how we get excited when we learn something new? Sometimes maybe :). We're mind blown and want to share it with the entire world. Rather, shout it out and jump around.  Children. They are little innocent ones. They learn something every day. It's a new experience experienced every moment. They must have so many things to tell. So many observations. Their excitement is constant. Like they're alive all the time. All you have to do is listen. Listen to the wonders they find in the silly little papaya seed. You might gain a new perspective. However, do this to keep that excitement alive. Thoughts and curiosity is curbed down by information fed to us. Why can't we just wonder...

  Teaching has been my dream profession from my childhood. I would frequently teach my brother and cousins. I always wanted to teach a class. I got an opportunity to teach on the occasion of Teacher’s day of 5th September. It all started when my class teacher, Ambily Miss, called on Sunday, 4th september. I straight forward said yes. I was so excited! By the afternoon, I received the textbook pages. I started working on my ppt. The entire evening went in making the ppt, practicing it and planning a game with Aditi. Both Of us had prepared ourselves very well. Even though it had gotten really late at night when we completed our presentations, I was sleepless; all the excitement and nervousness kept me awake. The morning came and I woke up earlier than usual. My mind was lost in thinking about the class I had to take that day. I got ready and wore my kurti. Even though I did not believe in the fact that I should wear a kurti because I am a girl while the boys would wear shirts, I dre...

By my last blog, it is clear that I am crazily obsessed with stationery, but I am also obsessed with arts and crafts, obviously. I also like the added experience which is craft supplies. So … today I am going to be listing my absolute favourite art and craft supplies. Artline Yoodle. This is a series of fine liner pens which have a 0.4 tip. These pens are really versatile. You can draw beautiful mandalas or add a pop of colour in your daily planner with these. I have these and you will not believe the times I reach out for these.  Artline Yoodle I used these for redecorating some notebooks to make them aesthetic. Sticker Paper If you are anything like me, you probably love stickers but don't find the ones you want online. What I like to do is buy some sticker paper from amazon and print the exact stickers I want. Be sure to check your printer's compatibility with the paper. There is a normal sticker paper type and a transparent sticker paper type. Normal Sticker Paper As a Deco...

The makeup world hates it and loves it at the same time. The perfect wing liner is worth all the attention, becuase we all know what it takes to get it right. Unlike the name, you can't really wing it. This blog is helpful for those of you who need to get the basics right. So without any further explanation, let's look out how to get the perfect wing! Step 1: -  Choosing the right product. More often then not, we end up using products that just aren't meant for us. Picking the right formulations and a packaging that is comfortable for you, both play an integral role.  Eyeliners usually are of two - three forms. Gel, liquid, pencil. Gels and pencils are very similar, but I would say that pencils are usually a little less thicker or creamier. Liquids have the thinnest consistency. Gels are the most long lasting while liquids have a longevity that works just fine for most of us. Gels are difficult to take off, since most are waterproof. Liquids come off with a basic makeup re...

  Being in 9th standard, tuition has become much of a necessity for me and some of my friends. Why you may ask, to cope up with the overwhelming level of workload we have. They sometimes don’t help and just add to the load, but at times, they lessen the load thrice. Believe me, I was one of the ‘anti-tutioniers’ before I ended up in tuition myself. I’ll tell you my story. When a whole lot of my friends were joining tuitions, I quite opposed it. I strongly disagreed with their unexplainable fees which are twice and thrice my school fees. Secondly, they were known to put students under extreme stress. It was a pretty well-known fact that tuition is a sickness. They are mentally and physically exhausting. They overload you will worksheets and work to do and the child is left unable to complete his or her school work. Lastly, another fact that was know was continuous classes for 5 - 6 hours without a break.  These facts were enough for me to answer no straight to my parents when t...

  It is a well known fact to my friends and family that I am obsessed with stationery. I honestly love new stationery and even browsing it. The amount of different types of stationery is insane. Today I will be telling you some basic stationery essentials that you must have on your desk or workplace. Pens  This is the most basic essential, but there are a variety of pens you can choose from according to your preference. Now I know people other than stationery addicts don't really care about what pen they use, but hear me out. You don't want a pen that leaks all the time or it doesn't even work. I would suggest a pen that is refillable so that it is good for the environment. My personal favourite is Pentel. They have gel pens which are retractable as well as the good old capped pens. Pentel Energel - 0.7mm - Roller Gel Pen Set - Pack of 6 Pens - (3 BLUE + 3 BLACK) Pentel EnerGel Click Roller Gel Pen - Pack of 4 (2 BLUE + 2 BLACK PENS) If you are looking for cute yet reliabl...

After we started this blog, I learnt a lot of things. One of which was the power of communication. When you spend so much time with words, they start to bewilder you. We’re no writers, but words have become our best friends. Though a blog requires a lot of effort, time and maintenance, at the end of the day, it gives us a different feeling. To me, it is a feeling of satisfaction, peace, joy and somewhere, a little bit of curiosity. It has left me to wonder about how strings of words come together to form a precious bundle of thoughts, unique and alive.  Communication is an art form. Rather, communication is the reason why we have such a variety of art forms. Humans need to get their running thoughts somewhere. For most, it’s the paintbrush that acts as a mediator. For others, it’s the keyboard. The list is endless. It’s almost liberating to pen down thoughts, some of which are arbitrary like these. This blog is here to bring to your perception, the importance of the words you use, ...

  She smiled. Even though spend most of her time struggling with bullies, She smiled just as so no one will know. She smiled, even though she wanted to burst her eyes out and cry. She smiled as she waited for a better tomorrow where she wouldn’t be bullied for having blue eyes, which she thought, were the most beautiful part of her body.  She had got on her bus. A seat in the left corner was left for her. As she walked towards it, the usual scribbles of ‘loony’, ‘blue eye monster’ and ‘outcast’ welcomed her. She smiled as she felt, those signs greeted her. She peered out of the window and saw the other children going into the canteen with their friends. Ah! Friends! Another thing she had.  Jay had entered the bus. She quietly removed her bag from the side seat. She somewhere in her heart wished that Jay would come and sit beside her. Jay, a standard teenage crus might be the only boy in the school who hadn’t called her loony. Maybe, because he didn’t know she existed, or ...

The gift is a wide topic. It wouldn’t be enough for one blog, but I am going to try my best to cover all types of gifts. Comment if I missed any. Gifts can be an obvious thing like birthdays or weddings and celebrations like that. Or it can be a formality such as for house warming or more. I fancy myself a good gift giver. In this blog, I will be telling you about some gifts that you can give to virtually anyone Birthdays are something that comes around every year (obviously). So there can be the birthdays of a close friend, a good friend, a colleague, a co-worker, a teacher and so many more. I personally love putting thought into my gifts for close friends. Recently it was my best friend's birthday, and I decided to put together a little gift box with various little things in it. This doesn’t necessarily have to be expensive, it can be things you made yourself and much more. I added two shirts, a makeup product because she loves it, and a card with some bracelets I made from threa...

Fashion Blog time! You all seem to love our fashion blogs and we've gotten some incredible responses. That is why we bring to you another one.  Inculcating fashion and trends in daily life is kind of difficult. One can't keep up with everything and everyone. Sometimes it's easier to pick out a black t-shirt and jeans. But for all fashion lovers like us, it's a responsibility to make a statement in every look. That has a downside too. Most don't have the time to pick and choose the perfect necklace and curate an outfit every day . Some say planning for the week ahead is easy, which is absolutely true. So, why this blog? For those times when it's an "emergency" and you've got to look your best. It's nice to have a few looks to fall back on when you have "nothing to wear". This blog is especially targeted at everyday workwear or college wear. So you won't find any neon sneakers in here. Although it makes for a great statement, coll...
