4 things I learnt during my ten-year old journey

Hey guys! Now this is a really thoughtful letter I wanna share with you.

There are hardly 5 more days left for me to turn 11. Here is a list of the do's and don't's  I learnt in the ten years of my life-

1) Place your priorities above anything else (except yourself)
Always try to shave off bits of time to spend on your passion, talent or developing your inner self. 
That doesn't mean shoving off important work. One has to spend at least an hour or two on oneself.
My leisure time consists of writing my online diary, sketching, writing poems, working on my singing skills, listening to TED talks,etc. Managing time ineffectively can bring horrible consequences including being grounded for months together.



2) Don't ever mess with your little' sis or bro
  I'm serious about this. NEVER have strains in your current relationship with your younger sibling.
    A younger sibling always come handy as an agent when you want to conceal your crime.
   When you're in trouble and need someone to flatter to and get the work done, a toady younger             sibling is exactly what you'll want. Trust me, this really works. Especially when the pest is                   troublesome. The perfect comrade.



3) Try to lie much better with natural expressions
   Usually, I'm not that good at lying. I either stammer, sweat or look into the other person's eyes too much. It's always better to learn and have considerate amount of tricks and tips up your sleeve. I'm still a novice as I haven't got much experience doing this. These skills will come in handy later in life. That's much better than embarrassing yourself or spoiling the relationship with a closed one. Much better.


4) There is no such thing called God 
  According to me, there is NO God. Whenever I say this, people ask me,"If so, how do you think Earth was created?". For my scientists out there, how nonsensical does this sound? Science clearly states that planets are formed from nebulae. I believe that there is an eternal power that controls everything. Many people believe that the lifetime of every person is already planned before the person is born. That is not true. It's just the chain reaction of every person's action or just a coincidence.

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. ...

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...

Our last day at Kodaikanal

Good morning! It is Day 3! What's up? We are already preparing to leave the hotel. It is around 7:30 in the morning and we will be checking out within half an hour and embark on the last leg of our journey. I took one last stroll around the vertical garden, the room and my favorite spots. I was leaving with a heavy heart, I knew. This was our last day at this beautiful place and today will write my final memories in this place. And? We boarded the cab to spend our day seeing the last few attractions saved for the last of our trip. Our first spot was quite far away - about 35 kilometres away from our hotel. We were headed towards Poombarai, a beautiful hamlet in the outskirts of Kodaikanal. This wasn't just a spot - it was once home to the notorious Seevalaperi Pandi, a Tirunelveli goon who once was the king of headlines in the 1980s.  This hamlet had a lot in store for us - beautiful carrot and garlic plantations dotting the borders of the hills. The villages...
