Giggles and smiles

Today, we had an event in college that was organised by our writing centre. Our writing centre is another name for our student support services. The centre helps us correct our assignments by ourselves and guides us to become better writers.

Well, today they organised an event day and it was incredibly fun! I've always been a big fan of the english language and all the games it inspires so this was an event day for me! My friends and I participated in events like Hangman, Spelling bee, treasure hunt, scrabble and just a minute.

A few of my friends won the hangman event, my team won the spelling bee and we all lost miserably at scrabble and at the treasure hunt.

The day was exciting and full of incredible fun. It made me see that its important to enjoy your days. Yes, it is necessary to work hard and achieve your goals but it's a part of life that we have a little fun now and then. No matter how silly or childish that humour is, it's always a welcome respite.

Fallen idols

Have you ever been in a situation where someone you used to hold on a pedestal has proven less than worthy? Recently, I've been in just such a situation.

The problem with this situation is that I do not know how to react. I used to hold this person in high esteem. I used to think that she was strong and independent yet feminine and graceful also. Yet, now I see her for her real self and I honestly do not like what I see.

What stumps me the most is, how come I did not notice her flaws before? How come it took me so long to see what was right infront of me? It's amazing how thick I was.

Even by putting that aside, I still do not know how to react. Do I treat her differently or the same? I've been very cautious around her but is it terrible that I'm not letting her know what I feel? Or is it better to keep things to myself and hence keep the peace?

Oh dear! That's a lot of questions. I hope somebody is able to give me the answers, or maybe I'll find them myself.

As of now, I've learnt that everyone has flaws. Everyone is imperfect. It's what makes us human.

You don't have to be a size zero to be beautiful

Dear Women everywhere,

Why is it that you are under the impression that beauty is solely based on outward appearances? I know that right now, you're thinking, here's another person telling us that beauty is on the inside. Honestly? It is.

To be a beautiful woman in today's world it is necessary to be just that, a woman. Femininity and beauty go hand in hand. A beautiful woman is a woman with class, confidence, and feminine prowess. When i say feminine prowess i'm talking about skills that all women are blessed to have. Every woman has the ability to be a comfort, a good listener and graceful to boot. A beautiful woman knows what her strengths and her weaknesses are and she knows how to portray her strengths with utmost refinement while working on her weaknesses.

How many women do you love that are beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside? Our lives are worth living because of the relationships we build. silly imperfections in outward appearances do not matter at all. it is a complete waste of energy to dwell on these imperfections. True beauty is always appreciated. It is about time that you began to notice that you are beautiful. Every woman has beauty within them and that beauty will never go unseen.

With love,
Sasha Desai

Harmony in the three spheres of life

As a student, I know how incredibly impossible it seems to balance work, relationships and relaxation. It's almost as if you're not meant to have all three. If I manage to study and have a social life, I'm sleep deprived. If I'm well rested and up to date with my studies, I find one of my friendships in trouble.

I guess it's one of life's many challenges; To have harmony in these three spheres of life is extremely challenging. It is true that anything worth having doesn't come easily so this challenge is perfectly justified.

Even though it is justified, it's still very difficult to cope up with all of it. The universe may throw terrible obstacles in your path, in one or more of these three spheres of life at a time but i believe the universe carefully calculates your strength before it does so. I don't believe the universe ever gives you anything that you cannot handle. It is this thought that helps me to fight my daily battles and keep harmony in my life. I know that i have the strength to break any barrier and move forward.

Friends and Fears

I was sick today so I was at home, all day. I hate staying home and doing nothing. It drives me crazy. I slept for most of the day and in the evening i was still feeling weak so i couldn't go out, hence, boredom stemmed. My friends were really very supportive today. They checked in on me every couple of hours, updated me on the homework and called me up just in an attempt to make me laugh. I was helplessly giggling by the end of that phone call. 

This made me think about my friends. They are truly very amazing people. They were there for me with something so small. Friends really do make life worth living.

My biggest fear is to be alone. I don't like feeling lonely. I don't even like feeling left out of things. Today, I was ill but I didn't feel lonely at all. My friends were truly concerned for my health. They were constantly keeping me busy. I love them for it. I'm so grateful that my biggest fear is just a nonsensical apprehension. I'm not alone. Honestly, I don't think anyone in the whole world is alone. There is always at least one person to stand by you, even if you don't notice that person.

It's amazing how the universe is incredibly attuned to our feelings. I was feeling lonely and afraid of being alone; my friends kept me entertained and showed me that I wasn't alone. The universe is a great being. Its fascinating how perfect it is.
