  • Reflections- #AtoZChallenge

    How does it feel when you attempt an examination which you have no clue about, but eventually come out with flying colors?

Little Background: I started blogging…

  • Zootopia- #AtoZChallenge

    If there is one alphabet that I was sure of what to write about during the AtoZChallenge, it has to be Z. Ever since I watched the movie Zootopia two months ago, I wanted to put down my thoughts about it. It’s been a while since I felt like writing about any movie, especially animated.…

  • Yearlong Yearning- #AtoZChallenge

    It was one foggy morning in the month of October. Rohan woke up to the sound of bursting firecrackers in the neighbourhood. The fog was only an illusion created from the continuous burning of fireworks. It was Diwali- The festival of lights and prosperity. Rohan was much excited for Diwali than usual this time, as…

  • Xerox- #AtoZChallenge

    I was eight years old when I first encountered the word- ‘Xerox’. My family moved to another city on my dad’s transfer. By the time I joined a new school in the new city, it had been 2 months already since the academic year started. So I had to catch up on all the notes…

  • Unexposed Urges- #AtoZChallenge

  • Testing Times- #AtoZChallenge

    At some point in our lives, we are prone to encounter a continuous series of unfavourable events. One after the other, as if they have all planned to come in at once! Testing times are more often presumed as bad luck or ill fated life events rather than an opportunity of instilling the endurance seed…

  • Selfie Stigma – #AtoZChallenge

    When was the last time you visited a new place and left without taking a ‘selfie’? If you somehow never really cared about the need for a selfie, well good for you! But if you did, err..there might be an issue here. I wouldn’t deny the fact that I’m afraid I’ll soon be a part…

  • Random Acts of Kindness- #AtoZChallenge

    The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention- Oscar Wilde It was a snowy day with fast blowing wind. My friend and I were walking down the road, against the windy snow to make our way to Walmart. It was one of those initial days of being an international student in…
