A typical sunday afternoon.

It's a perfect sunday afternoon. Slightly cool, just the perfect weather to fall asleep.

SO, you decide to take away some time for yourself. So you go to your room and put the music on at full volume. You are listening to an absolutely dumb song from your phone just for the fun of it. You listen to it and you then start singing it yourself too. Then in middle of the song, the song stops and instead a dumb ringtone blares out.

You very grudgingly pull yourself from your bed and take your phone. Some number is there. You accept the call and what you get is the sound of a voice in the background saying, " To get this callertune........". There goes my perfectly calm and peaceful dawdling.

You are irritated but promptly cut the call and then go back to your busy schedule of lying around. The song starts to play again.

Again, it stops and the dumb ringtone starts again. You pick it up. Your friend's voice comes from the other end. "Hey dude, did you complete that activity that ma'am gave us to be submitted tomorrow......................." Oh shoot! You remember it only now. You actually forgot how to do it.

So, you ask her "Hey di, what are we supposed to do it?" and the conversation goes for a few minutes on how to do the activity. But, as human minds commonly do, you start talking about something else. Sometimes as trivial as what you had for lunch that day. And, if one of you had had a great lunch, the conversation moves on to food.

And, you continue talking, then the conversation goes about another friend of yours who did this, did that. Common phrase? "Hey did you hear the news.........", "Hey did you see.............".

Then, you both start gossiping like old ladies in a park and before you even know it, its already an hour. Both of you haven't even started your activity.

Hasty goodbyes are said and you sit down at your desk with an expression that means business. You  take out A4 sheets and glitter pens to do the front page. You are engrossed in that business for a solid 20 mins. You take it and run to your parents to ask whether it's good. Another five minutes lost. Time now 05:30 pm.

You sit down again to do the activity. You have a basic idea of what you want to do. Your mother calls "Kanna, come and drink your milk and have something to eat. Then you can do your work."

You happily go and another forty minutes is lost in eating and drinking. Time? 06:15 pm.

You rush back and start your work. You think about it for a second and the next you are dreaming about the TV show you will be watching after finishing this work. It takes 2 hours and you have almost finished. Your mother calls you for dinner.

The TV is switched on and you sit and start eating. Time? 08:30pm.

You continue eating and watching TV till around 09:30pm. You say good night and go back to your room. You again start. You finish in an hour. Time? 10:45pm. You decide to open the computer and check your mail. Trivial things occupy your mind and before you know it, it is 11:30 pm.

You switch off your computer and go to sleep at around 11:45pm. You sleep peacefully and deeply.
When you wake up on Monday, the time is 06:30. You have to leave by 07:30.

You make the famous Swiper of Dora fame's comment "Oh man".

What to do with absolutely annoying guys who think so high of themselves?

What to do with absolutely annoying guys who think so high of themselves? Come on super girl, we know the plan.Cut, chop, slap, thrash, shout, cry and make them sorry they ever messed with you.

For boys reading this, I am not planning on asking apology so throw that option out the window or stuff it back inside your mouth. For girls reading it, some may think that 'why is she so harsh? They are just boys after all!' I have got one thing to say. I am a girl after all and I am bound to get angry especially if some stupid stuck- up bunch of completely foolish boys try to mess with me.

Come on, admit the truth. In sixth grade, we think 'They are stupid'. In seventh grade, we think 'They are completely idiotic'. In eighth grade, we think 'They are a bit too out of line'. In ninth grade, we think 'They are gonna pay for this someday'. In tenth grade, we think 'That's it Mister. You are officially the most annoying person on earth'.

If that's you, then we are on the same ride buddy and this ride only goes up and not down. Have you ever had this group activity and you were in-charge and the boys in your group are sooo annoying and won't even listen or even bother to hear what you are saying?  I know the feeling and I tell you it is extremely embarrassing.

So, you decide to go to your teacher and complain to her about this and you do it. The teacher calls those guys and you stand nearby with the all-knowing smug look on your face. But suddenly, the guys start acting nice and your teacher is surprised and you look at them with disbelief and they shoot back a victorious grin that you want to throw your arms up in the air and scream your head off and stomp off.

And the biggest problem is, this makes the guys even more cocky and arrogant. Between you and me, buddy, their end is near. We need a perfect plan!!!

For now,
Adios amigos

Reform myself. A change in writing style.

OK!!!
As the heading says, this one will be different. I guess, I got too generalised in my posts. But hey! hello! Blog is my space and I decide on what to write.

Part of me wants generalised views and I seriously give in to that part quite often. I realised, I have to fulfil my other part that wants to write about me too. So, this one is for my other part.

OK, I caught that mind of yours, "OH relief, Now we can hear some true rambling than preaching!"
Hehe. Trust me, that's my mind too.

Ok first off, I shall boast and get ready to hear all my stupid rambling. I am a master when it comes to the Art of Babbling. I just got my master's degree in Rambling and Babbling.

Firstly, meet the girl with the IQ of the top 2% of population. Yeah, That's ME! I took an IQ test and my IQ was 143.

For those who know me, its no surprise I hope?!?! For those who don't, well NICE TO MEET YOU!!!

I am basically a very happy, optimistic and carefree person. I am short tempered, especially with boys who think they're the boss and girls have to obey them.

I am person who likes to crack jokes and make people laugh. Bless my soul. I am also very sensitive and even small things can make me upset. I am a very non- violent person who just uses the voice power to put my point forth. I have the loudest voice in class( including boys). I hate movies with killing, gruesome deaths, ghosts, dark, the sort.

I normally watch movies that are family and happy, slightly romantic and lots of humour. Romantic tragedies are fine with me too. Emotional books can make me cry. Like, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green had me sobbing. I read books, a lot and I am a very fast reader. Another advantage of a 143 IQ.

I like all subjects. I don't like too much theory. I am a public speaker and I guess I am good at it. I love dramas and plays and I love music and dance. I sing and I guess, if there is a choir in Indian schools, I would be selected because of my soprano voice.

I am a pretty good drama artiste and the characters I have played have always been the antagonist. It started in class 5 when we had the drama Perseus and Medusa. I was Medusa. Then recently again, we enacted Othello and I was Iago- the villain.

I love to eat different kinds of stuff ( all veg of course) and I am not a picky eater at all. I write poems, stories, slogans and recently started writing the screenplay for a ghost short film I plan on taking in May.

I think a lot of stupid stuff. I think of whether I had been Mahatma Gandhi and died or if I was person in Jallianwala Bagh on the fateful incident. I dream of becoming an animator and that my kids will see my figures moving in the screen and proudly exclaim "HEY, My mom is amazing, she made all those dolls dance on screen".

I love everyone around me, my mom, brother( younger), dad and friends.

Guess I told a lot about myself. I know that this should have been my first post. But sometime is better than no time.

Adios amigos!!




 

Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate

There are discoveries made everyday. And now my discovery is to be set on the top of the list.

Chocolate? Of course.

The various types, the textures, candies, toffees, chocolates of all shapes and sizes ranging from the small M&Ms to the huge Diary milks. HMMM! Who could resist the divinity called chocolate?

I am sad, grab a chocolate. I am angry, grab a chocolate. I am happy, grab a chocolate. I am just plain hungry, grab a chocolate. I am anything at all, grab a chocolate.

And why even bother about the extra kilos? What is it at all compared to the heavenly experience like eating something you adore, something like chocolate?

Chocolates or to be more general, candies are of many types. You have got the hard ones that you can suck on. The softer ones that are made of caramel that you can chew on. And the classic different types of chocolate like dark, milk and white.

And the best part is, each one is different and each one gives the pleasure of something sweet going down your throat. Sweet tooth or not, chocolate and chocolate flavoured ice-creams, cakes and what not are surely IN and are a definite way to warm up to new people.

When you visit new places, its great fun to eat the new varieties of candy and chocolate there. I for one, enjoy them. Some are made of real honey and some made of some kind of flour. Some made with coconut and some made with the common fruit there.

But, going "traditionally" what will be the best chocolates in the market for a variety of types of chocolates?

UH OH!!!
Looks like we got into trouble. Don't worry here I come.

Here comes the Great Yashasvi List of Best Chocolates!

Chocolates:
Dark: Hershey's, Linditt, Toblerone, Cadbury Bournville.

White: Linditt( the one with gold paper is nice. Be sure to try out the strawberry and cream flavour and another flavour that says Fraise and cream( It looked like French but I think the spelling might be wrong because it has a different king of E) that has pink wrappings too) Also try the white chocolate you get easily in the markets. Technically they are for baking, but they taste awesome.

Milk: Hershey's, Diary Milk, Galaxy, Toblerone, Linditt but any company tastes good.

Caramel filled: 5 Star, Diary Milk Silk, Quality Street- Nestle, Mars.

Wafer type or crunchy bar type: Munch, Perk, Snickers, 5 Star Crunch.

Toffees: Alpenliebe toffees and lollies, Quality Street.

Gummy Bears, Haribo marshmallows and other Haribo goodies are for those with and extra sweet tooth. Also they make great gifts. There is nothing like buying a chocolate for yourself, or your sibling while going back home.

So go and fulfil the calling of your inner self.
Excuse me, but I think I heard your stomach growl. Mine did too.

Happy eating and don't forget to share!!!



 

Day dreaming and confusion on confusing. How did it end up like this?

And a Happily Ever After...............................
"Who is going to answer this question?"
BANG!! I wake up. I look at the blackboard and whatever on it is Greek and Latin for me.
So much for a happy ending.
What was I doing? Daydreaming. As usual. I should probably go and live in that world. Its so much more happier and everything goes the way I want.

Seems like yourself? You're not alone buddy. My name is Yashasvi what's yours?

Well I can't say I am very original in my dream world. Most of it is bits from the loads of books I have read and yes I have enough to write a fan fiction. But, I am too lazy to even think about them all, let alone formulating them into a story and spending hours typing them. Its best my dream world is in my mind  alone.

Dream a lot. Think happy stuff in your dreams.

My happy world is different from yours. I will like different stuff and you will like different stuff. Our views may coincide or they may conflict. I can't say you're wrong and you can't say I'm wrong. But in the end you are who you are and I am what I am.

Why am I sooooooo confusing and why am I getting confused in the process of unconfusing everyone else's confusing ways? Are you confused?????

You better be because if I end up confused then you should too. Or if you are already a wacko, then I wouldn't mind you not getting confused as it is so very confusing already.

Where did I actually start this post? On dreams and now I am in confused state about confusion. Sorry I am deviating. But, when you have a hundred thousand brain cells in your brain, you do tend to deviate and get terribly confused in the process.

But, as I said dream a lot. You never know what form your dream could take and in the end, the dream you started with is not always the dream you end up with. Pretty much like this post.

So dream while you can and it isn't so bad to day dream in class. Especially when the class is really boring.
Dream, Dream, Dream Away!!!!!!!



 

Boost Your Self- Esteem Or Go Roost In A Corner

Anti- depressants.

Must be the next popular drug in the market after the normal antibiotics and paracetamol. Depression starts, pulls you to the depths of Tartarus and its no joke or something that can be cured be medicines. It starts to suck out all the happiness out of your life. J K Rowling's dementors in the normal world or should I say normal mind. And what is our Patronus charm? Our brain. Our brain is the only capable thing that can ward away all evil, self- deteriorating ways of our mind and give us calm and peace.

 

Yeah, yeah. I can hear that mind of yours. I must be sounding like an old psychologist who spends most of his time counselling young teens( LIKE ME). And it does help to have doctors as parents.

 

How to figure out if you have depression, or your friend or child has depression or is starting depression?

 

Frustration: Gets angry easily, shouts or cries without any reasonable reason.

Argumentative: Argues about everything under the sun.

Inferiority complex: Feel others are better than you in a particular field.

Laments over everything: Laments over studies, physical appearance or anything that happens to them.

Overeating: When the mind is upset it wants comfort food and it leads to overindulgence in chocolates, sweets or basically any food item. This causes weight gain and causes more depression and stress and is a vicious cycle.

 

Any two of these and you might be entering into early stages of depression.

 

How do I know? Been there and done that and today I am a confident young girl who even in the most trying of times has enough belief in herself to keep her head out of water.

 

And these are what I did and they worked wonders for me.

It always helps to get some consolation and self- confidence from parents, friends and yourself provided you are receptive to them.

Try to think positive and don't get influenced easily. You shouldn't get too influenced by external factors. You should have the courage to dust off any negative thoughts. Stand in front of a mirror and smile at yourself and think happy thoughts like " Today I have my favourite lunch", "Today I have good hair", "Today is my lucky day", " Today mom/ dad didn't shout at me", " Hey! I seem to have reduced some weight", etc. for five minutes everyday.

 

You boost your self- esteem or go roost in a corner.

 

Happy boosting!!
