STANDARDS

Image
  I think we live in a world of standards. We have to many standards in our life which we have to achieve. As of now, i am in 9th stand. I have 10th standard, 11th, 12, standards to achieve.  These our the normal and useful standards. But there are some standards that are completely useless but we still have them in our life. These are the society’s standards. I dont knw who are these society. Are they the people in general, then am i not in the society. Are they those gossip aunties, or are they people who force people do get into something. I dont know that, but i know than these standards are quite too many and impossible to attain.. Coincidently, women are always targeted in these standards. Women who has a big bosom, big butt, big lips, tiny waist, fox eyes, thin nose, thin nose, perfect jawline, perfect cheek bones were the right women. The rest were always expected to work for the level of ‘perfection’ Men are always forced to be manly. It is much like the men’s beauty ...

A Halloween Party : A guide

Image
As everything is gradually setting back to normal, it is the perfect time to gather your closest group of friends and family and have a fun Halloween celebration Even though Halloween in India is not as widely celebrated as other Indian festivals, it is a fun excuse to dress up as a scary Ghost or your favourite actress and meet up with your friends. In this blog, I am going to guide you to a fun Halloween party. 1. Costumes This is kind of the point of Halloween. Now, this can be a group costume with your friends or family or you can surprise each other with your choice and creativity of your costume.

The American Dream

Image
We Indian have always come believing that  The land of opportunities, as America is known to generations of Americans and others, was the place where anyone can become anything with hard work and ambition. The possibility of upward social mobility, defined as the ability to move up social stratas defying circumstances that a person is born in, was the light for millions of people who immigrated to the United States of America during the 20th century. Not only Indians, but any one with the dream of good living standards, quality life and earning loads of money wants to go there. People from India to mexico, Brazil, China, Europe etc go there. It is truly a multinational country. In the 20th century, Indians who had been struggling against barriers created by caste, religion, income, occupation etc. were also seduced by the American dream and the desire for a better quality of life. Interestingly, an economist who has been at the forefront of the discussion on whether America is inde...

Sewing Project - A Coin Purse

Image
  As the intensity of the pandemic is lessening day by day, more things are opening up. For instance, schools, colleges, workplaces, etc. As these are gradually coming back to normal, daily travel is also increasing. The most local travel in India is the classic AUTO RICKSHAW. Those people who travel by local transport daily know the importance of change. Wherever you may be travel, you might find yourself struggling to find random coins in the mess of your purse (I'm just assuming the mess part) A perfect solution for this is a coin purse. You don’t need to go out and buy a coin purse. You can easily make one out of your old jeans  I am going to be telling you how to make a simple yet cute coin purse. Material First, you need the material, which is jeans. I'm not telling you to go and take the first jeans you find in your closet. NO-NO-NO. I'm telling you to take OLD JEANS  of yours. I'm exaggerating this point because once I took a pair of jeans from my sister for cu...

Anger Managment

Image
  A proper definition of anger is "Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong." It would be a rather uncanny situation if you’re not familiar with feelings of anger. A very natural, common yet undesirable emotion. It is the kind of acquaintance you’d like to avoid, the phone calls of whom you do not like to answer. Probably someone of higher authority, as you have to answer the phone call every time, you’re obliged to. Or it’s someone who you could avoid but it seems to be a rather difficult task to decline. Anger is a feeling which is usually provoked by external stimulus, so we may say that it is a reaction to such. Therefore, it depends on each person's value of rights and wrongs. Anger is unnecessary in most circumstances. A lot of us are unknowingly influenced by anger, our own or someone else’s. Such an influence is not pleasant or helpful, rather quite negative in most scenarios. Think about ...

If I Could Time Travel

Image
  I always think of time traveling through time. Would I change my past events? Would I prevent massive wars and mistakes? That’s was an old me. The future of the old me i.e. the present me has much more of a thought for time travel. In past, I had wanted to time travel to prevent wars, save people, change rules and modernize the past . I wouldn’t be surprised if the current me would time travel to study more for tomorrow’s exam or see where I had kept a thing I have had lost. Why you may ask? I believe that changing a past that has already taken place can lead to an unexpected and unwanted present. The present is the past of the future. You may think if I change the present, it will directly affect the future. (that is true). But then it contradicts what I said that the past should not be changed.  I would finalize by saying that ‘I would not want to change the past of the present. I would use time travel to get information on the earliest form of humans, the dinosaurs. I wil...

Future - A short compositon

Image
Future. A word that brings about many thoughts. The word itself may bring happy or sad thoughts. For instance, you are excited to go to the mall, that’s the near future. The far future is what is unsure and scary at times. I don’t know if it is just me or everyone finds this mystery of the future scary. At times I am terrified of what the future holds. My mother always comforts me by saying that whatever the future holds, it is always good for us. Sometimes I think of the future in a very positive manner. I am sure that there are negative things about the future, there will always be more positive things.  I always think of the future in two ways either negative or positive. I have thought about the positive and negative views of the future an equal amount of times. The negative thought isn’t anything in particular, but the mere thought of the future scares me a bit. Positive is much happier. Whenever I study or do something I love I always think this habit will stick with me for a...

To the woman.

Image
Women. An altogether different species of the human kind. Through centuries, women have played a integral part in every person's life. Biologically, there exist only two genders. The binaries- Male & Female. Speaking of the Indian Civilization, you often find them to be quite distinguished. We live in a patriarchal society. The man rules the house. Men have been considered elite. That's where their "masculinity" comes from. Society is biased towards men. They get more opportunities, more rewards for even the slightest effort and most importantly, more freedom.  A woman is of lesser importance in such a societal arrangement. They're associated with sensitivity, and expected to be "lady like" - a phrase used to denote the rules a woman must abide by. A woman stepping up? God forbid! Even her opinions aren't given a thought. Her clothes, external appearance, manners, and coyness decides her future. Marriage is the main goal of a woman. She must get ...

A Talk At The Bus Depot

Image
  Monica left me at the corner seat of a waiting area of a bus depot. she always did it that way. She would leave me there, shop things for the home, and then together we would leave for the job. She folded my walking stick and told me 'honey, I will be back. Tell me if you need to buy anything. Don't wander off. Ok'. I nodded and sat there. I could smell samosa. there must be a samosa vendor somewhere. I thought of asking Monica to buy me a samosa after she returned. I suddenly heard wheels approaching me. it was not a bus. it was not a bike, might be a cycle. Before I could interpret what vehicle it was, I knew someone was there on my right.  'hi,' a gentle voice spoke. A girl must be sitting on my right. but that was impossible. I was sitting on the rightmost seat. 'hi. nice to meet you' I replied. 'where are you going?' she asked me. she seemed to be a very open and cool person.  'To Bandra. you?' 'To Poisar. What do you do there?...

Exam Season

Image
E xam. What do I tell you about it? The moment I hear the word exams I can feel all the previous classes’ exams rushing around in my head. The nervousness, the books, the learning, in short, the EVERYTHING. The “Exam Season” here is the month of September and October. But the nervousness starts the moment we receive the scary-looking exam timetable. My Mid-term exams ended just last week, and trust me when I tell you, it was tiring, it always is. You think you would get a break after it, but unfortunately, I have classes till Diwali.  Exams are almost always stressful, but that doesn’t mean you can’t tackle them with ease. I am a fairly good student in terms of studying, but I still struggle (everyone does, trust me). I am currently in class 9th and honestly, after the 25% reduced syllabus of class 8, the full syllabus for class 9 seems A LOT.  In this blog, I will be giving you some tips on how to tackle this exam season and tell you some stuff I learned from the recent exam ...
