Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone!


Today, I'm turning twelve!

From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous.

The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey.

Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult!

Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult.


I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person.


Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (almost like an adult!) and responsible of myself. I have developed (work in progress 😉) my sense of style and my own choices and opinions.



This year, my parents could not be with me on my big day due to medical issues :(

I did miss them a lot but in the process, I also learnt to deal with separation and self-relied. I learnt to make rational decisions with more maturity. I feel incomplete though. There's a lot more to learn.



I'm really curious about what this year is going to bring me. This year is definitely going to teach and expose me more and by the end of the year, I'd be a year more mature than what I am right now. 


There's a lot more ahead.


I AM A TWEEN TODAY !

    Manasa,

    It's great to see your thought filled with responsibilities which you'd adorned from the journey of your first breadth to till-now... Just wishing you to taste the liveliness, playfulness, that would be profoundly splashing at this age relentlessly which would be a longing and relishing for many of us. Live this day, play, study and enjoy to the core...evidently, transformations between the different life's stages and its related responsibilities are nature's call. Well, let the nature to take those care very well as it knows what and how to prescribe at times and mainly, as wished by your dear ones... Dora ki Jai go... :)

      Quite true uncle..all I want to do at this age is to cherish and live the moment, for you never know when we'll find ourselves in a completely different scenario and priority list years later, which will fly before we know.

Splendid Sisters! 👧👧

Hi guys! The person who embraced my successes and adversities, the one who always gave me a quick tickle and who made me realize the purpose of life is whom I want to share about today. Dear reader, if you are an elder brother/sister to a younger sister, you should consider reading this. Most elder siblings resent their younger sisters due to their drama-queen attitude. That does happen, a sister can be a brat sometimes. But, you know what? They can be heavenly blessings. They are cherubic sweet little angels, ready to bless your day and mine with a captivating smile (and no sister can be as sweet as mine, I bet!) who are ready to sacrifice anything for the defence of yours. Even if they have to take the second pick, they (almost) never protest. My sister is no less. She is classy, cool, carefree, hardworking, ideal and witty, the perfect figure of the today's independent modern woman's characteristics. She has an unbelievable ability - she can maintain size zero with...

On New Revelations : My COVID-19 Story

The past couple of months have been a roller coaster ride. Several things had come tumbling down for me all at once - a nervous breakdown, the death of a very dear loved one, and now, testing positive for COVID-19.   How it has been   Day 1 was not by any means forgiving: I almost collapsed the moment I got out of bed, with fever, chills, severe dizziness and a flashing headache. The virus had caught me off guard and already begun wrecking my body. I remember feeling optimistic at first, that this was just exhaustion was taking a toll on me (for the previous week I had been working long hours) then slightly apprehensive as my brother tested positive the very next day.  I remember making a casual joke on testing positive right before taking my test. But then, two days later, I found myself going to bed with racing thoughts and mixed feelings - I had just received my results. That night was probably among the most anxious I've spent in my life. The first few days were the r...

Saffron

The snow of the mountains, still Bear the scarlet stains of your final act, The crisp, solemn winter air of Pinglan, still Stands a witness to the last moments of greatness. Even on your human case crumbling, The brilliance of your sacrifice Shone through the valiant bullet wounds. No matter the ages that trudge through, The rousing drum of your strength, Bravery amid paralysing pain, Strength amid the chaos, The sincerity of your offering, Like that of the great Kunwar Singh, Will echo in my heart for a lifetime. Your willing welcome of the last second, Pushes me to transcend the trivialities of life, And readily sacrifice what man holds on to, For a purpose greater than myself Or anything that I call my own. The unfathomable love and pride you nurtured For the soil that we shared, Stirs my soul to rise to the occasion, And fight till the very end,  Even if it meant sacrificing myself. As you arrived home, after months of separation Wrapped in streaks of saffron and emerald, Our h...
