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.

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 ...

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 ...

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S...
