Baby footprints on time

Hello readers!

Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one!


No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul.

This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling.


It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs!

It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through.

This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over twenty posts, a channel of all my thought bubbles and sparks that later kindled into a gleaming flame that stood undeterred and eternal.

I would love to thank my readers who have kept me motivated through the year. It's so gratifying to see all the support pouring in and so, this year looks promising!

I want to give a  BIG THANK YOU  to my mom for mentoring me throughout and my dad for introducing me to this platform and for helping me out technically! It wouldn't have been made  possible without the support from my family, friends and most importantly, you.



A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL!



With lots of love,
Maanasa

Love is in the air.....

Love has been eternal always. From gifting a bouquet or diamonds to a small act of kindness, love is in the air. No matter how much cruelty has seeded itself in a person, love peeks out in some form through one's actions and intentions. Love is the core feeling that radiates through every particle of your soul. A smile is the only most precious and valued ornament that won't cost you a penny. It makes you look beautiful.Why not wear it everyday?  A smile and a kind act is all that you need to show your love to the world and capture hearts wherever you go. When you have a weapon that can transform a scowl into a beautiful grin, why not make use of it? Unfortunately, most don't. Why not initiate a beautiful revolution with something as simple as a smile? Make someone's day bright with a warm smile of yours and see how good it makes you feel. So simple, right? Today is the celebration of love and kindness to spread and sprinkle everywhere you go. Don't...

A Culinary Escapade!

We quickly hop off our scooter at Chellas Kitchen as the warm sweet smell of desserts and noisy crackling of fries in the oil drag us to the cafe. We go and our eyes forage for snacks to order on the menu.  Located right in front of Oak Tree on the OMR, this seems to be a hotspot among desperate dieters to satiate their cravings with healthy options like vegan and gluten-free stuff to snack on. We are perplexed seeing so many varieties of exotic teas they outnumber the snacks that they are known for. Our eyes fell upon the Peri-Peri fries, cheese balls and "Fried milk" (what the owner proudly beams at and calls their signature dish). FRIED MILK!? We were blown away at the mention of the delicacy that seems to be the rage among youngsters. We had made up our minds - we had to try it. Soon the fries and cheese bombs arrive, crackling hot. These make the perfect warm treats for your tastebuds' cravings on a rainy evening. Though the fries and the seasoning fail ...

Thank you!

Throughout almost two years of Fledgling, you might have read about several people and places. This is my story. Since childhood, I have always been an ambitious child who yearned and burned with the passion to create an identity for myself. I was a sensitive child too, often bullied for my complexion. Though academic life was always a breeze, my social life has always struggled for stability and it still does. My conversations are rarely with people and my peers have always been in the form of a paper and pen. I needed something. My only comfort was music and literature. I delved deep into the literary universe and soon found myself intoxicated with the solace it gave me. Immersing myself in books and listening to other stories did help me take the weight off my mind, but these emotions, filled with inferiority, often overwhelmed my tiny brain and pushed them out in tears. It threatened to dangerously gnaw away at my confidence, which I could not afford to do at any cost. ...
