Memories #1

Life has a lot of memories. Just like the one that I'm missing recently. Being busy at college, I've attended my Nani's (maternal grandmother's) house really less. And that's why maybe I'm missing the moments I've spent at her house.

One such memory is of peeling boiled potatoes alongside my Nani and cousin brother. Both of us are of the same age and whenever I used to go to stay at their house, and a cooker for boiled potatoes was needed, we were the ones who helped with peeling them since there were almost 7 people to eat! The two of us used to sit besides our Nani, taking a potato from the cooker and peeling them while listening to the stories of her childhood and youth. Just talking with them is one of my favourite memories!

Effects of books and films

  Books and films, the ones that introduce you to the world of fiction, right? The ones that fill your mind with fairy tales? That make you think that you'd have a happy ending as well? Most of the romantic books are fictional. And whenever we read the books, the characters are seriously glorified. Either the female lead is too weak or too strong or the male lead is too weak or too strong.  And the most important part, the happily ever after, no problems, no worries… That's how it should end in real life as well, right? Wrong! Though I don't criticize books for writing happy endings, I do agree that the reader's thinking changes a whole lot when he/she/they start to read. Talking about the films, the superhero. Damn. He's always supposed to be strong, right? The basic definition, he should be easily able to pick up cars? Fight really well? And that's what we expect.  But all of us forget that there's a huge difference between our imagination and the reality.

Patience

  Patience(n): Ability or willingness to bear, manifesting forbearance under provocation or strain, bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint, not hasty. What is patience exactly? Let's start with this point. I've written its basic definition given in the dictionary. But when it comes to our lives, what is patience? I guess the ability to withstand or endure or not being restless. And… Now the main question arises, is being patient a boon or a curse? I guess it depends on our situation and our perspective, right? I guess it's a boon as well as a curse if this quality is applied at the right time, then a boon, if applied at a wrong time, then a curse. Let me explain this in detail: If you are supposed to be waiting for someone, the person is running ten minutes late, then you should be patient. But if the person is running an hour late, if you are being patient then it's foolishness. And if it's related to your work, and your boss is running an hour late, y

When I went on my longest road trip

           MY EXPERIENCE when I went on my longest road trip            I have witnessed many road trips.But my longest one was when I went with my whole family to the southern side that is to Bangalore, Mysore and Ooty. On the way, we also visited Kolhapur.The trip took 12 days.   I really enjoyed a lot as it was my summer vacation.I was accompanied by my mummy, papa and small brother.           We used our car Nano for this purpose.  The car ride was very comfortable. Though we needed to adjust a little, it was fun.I and my brother played some board games to spend time in the car. Otherwise we would sleep as our car had enough place for it.           Kolhapur is a very beautiful place with Mahalaxmi temple,the beach,Kolhapur palace to visit.  Bangalore is a very busy place where Iskon  Radha Krishna temple, Botanical garden,Tipu Sultan's Summer palace,Mueseum,etc to visit. Mysore has Chamundeshwari temple,zoo,palace,etc to visit. Ooty has rose garden,botanical garde
