My Lotus Collage!

Dearest Readers,
How are you all!December treating you good,right?Lately I re-read a few of my posts n found out that I was getting a bit preachy.As in I don't want to sound like a 60 yr old grandma..giving all life advices n no fun!But let me tell you,all that I pour out here has come from the bottom of my heart and is true to the core.And the rest are my personal experiences about life and people.
Also lately I have been experiencing a partial writer's block.I don't know what to write and when I know I think I sound a bit Saint types.I don't want that.I don't want my blog to be "Astha channel"(a channel where only religious programs are shown.)Nobody needs a bhajan these days or a kirtan.. all we need is a loving hand,a carrying on shoulder and a best friend.I want to be your best friend. :)
Again also,lately I have been a bit sad n sick too.One does not feel like working on one's passion if nothing is going their ways.But I found out a quick fix for this.What if I could not think n write anything...My 2nd love after writing is ART.Making creative objects out of waste,redecorating my room,making articles out of anything and pouring life into them by colouring them.
So I made something like this.All I needed was old paper from the ganpati decoration leftover material,last night's ice cream stick,scissors,glue,a few paints,n stickers.You could buy the things easily at a stationary shop near you or most of the things you must be having at a near hand.(Only if you took the trouble to clean your cupboard).Now all I did was arrange n cut the left over paper into a lotus flower.The next thing I did was I selected my best pictures from my gallery..Now having a colour printer at home does have advantages.So I printed my pictures,pasted them on the lotus and wrote messages on them like "STAY STRONG" n also stuck some readymade stickers.And boom!!!I had a lovely piece for my room door.You can even gift this to you friend on their bday.Or you can have your own variation of flowers,star,smiley face...anything and everything you can think off.I am so sure your friend will love it as it will have a personal touch.Instead of pics you can also go for simple messages or your life goals which you want to see daily.


So go ahead,don't just waste your time sleeping,you sleepy bum!Wake up n be creative.Clean your room to find new interesting stuff you can work with!Don't waste your vacation!So tell me hows my lotus collage n make yours soon!N let me know...I'll put up a picture here.
Till then,stay warm n stay strong!

Hello December!

Dearest Readers,
Hello blog,and Hello December!!!
So folks,how have you all been?I know I haven't posted for a while but it was of course due to the stupid exams.I don't like to write half heartily and thus I refrain from posting unnecessarily.But then when you get numerous soul calls from your blog,you have to make sure you answer those.The poor fellow calls you out like a little baby waiting for its mother's attention or a possessive boyfriend waiting for you to answer his call.Such is the power of passion.My passion for my writing.It demands you continuously.It doesn't let you sleep or eat.Its like a continuous alarm without snooze option.
So as the page of calendar flipped and my cellphone beeped and the sudden urge for a warmer blanket increased...I actually could not believe it is already December guys.December..really?The last month of the year.I can still fly back to January where I was already 20,and yet had not been able to figure out a single thing about my life.I was so unsure of where I was headed that it almost felt like I was walking in a dark room with nothing but vacuum.Still surprised I guess but now I am pretty much sorted.I have already ticked out a few things off my "To Do Things in Life" check-list,like starting this blog,a trip to Goa n many more things.As for me I have set my focus.I know what I want from life.Of course not everything has been finalised,but yes- "Manzil tay hai,bus ab rasta banana hai,dhundna hai or us par chalna hai." There goes a famous saying that day by day nothing changes but when we look back everything seems to have changed.So true isn't it?
     Sounds like a new year or 31st December post right?Well... Maybe so.But I want to urge all of you out there reading this,that no age is right age and no age is not right,to decide "ki kya karna hai"(Apologies for quoting Honey Singh)But yes,now is the true time for all of us in the age group of 20-25 to decide what all things we want to do ahead in life.Should some thing be started right now?Should some decisions be taken now itself?Should you still waste your parents money?Is your career path right?Do you want to go some other way!Do you want to leave the country?When?How?What n why.. n my personal favourite question for you- Whenz marriage n kids happening?happening or not? ;)

So its never late for anything my babies...Have your life set in advance.A few steps of planning won't hurt you.As it is we keep wasting time thinking on things that would never happen..but what about those which actually should happen?Are you prepared?Start saving,start thinking.Start pondering as to what exactly enthrals you,amazes you,interests you.What's your passion? Can it be turned into a career.2015 is about to say a bye...Make this bye a memorable one.Literally grow up and mature.Bloom.Find your cup of tea n your personal favourite flavour.

Till then keeping reading my posts!
Would blog often now.
Adios!Cya!

-Peace n Love
