Bonding Begins

Hello again!

Today, I would like to bring up a special topic that is close to my heart, ‘brothers.’ To all Indians, you might know that today is Raksha Bandhan, a day for all the brothers out there. 
For all other readers, this is a small dedication.

Even if you don’t have a brother, you may have a cousin or a brother figure in your life and with that,
I hope you enjoy this small piece.

I have always wanted an older brother. I guess I always thought about it because I already have a sister. Fortunately, I have two cousin brothers (Manoj and Athul) who represent this position for me.

I rarely get to see them as we don’t stay in the same region and being around only in the holidays makes me treasure the smallest moments we have together.

Especially today, as I spent time with Athul, I relived my wish once again. 
Annoying him, playing cards with him, taking weird selfies with him, it was absolutely fun!

However, I missed my other brother on this day as he was away working hard on his job. We have a big age difference, therefore he and my sister being closer, I cherished today more.

Normally boys don’t like sharing sentiments or talking about feelings to show their strength but with brothers, that’s the difference, you do not feel alone and at the same time you get their perspective on anything and everything.

It’s said ‘Your brother is your first male friend in your life. No one will ever understand your craziness like your brother. Even if you don’t meet up all the time or talk as much as you wanted to, he always remains your friend. While people come and go in your life, your brother will always be in your heart for a lifetime.’

And on that note, I wish all the brothers out there, a happy raksha bandhan and a wonderful day.


I know that siblings rarely tell each other how much they mean, I’d like to dedicate this to 
Manoj and Athul and I want you to know, I love you both.

Inspiring Young Individuals

My mom once told me "If someone takes their life, there are many to blame. A harsh word, a mean act would force them to think of the worst. On the contrary, just imagine saving a life unintentionally by slipping in a supportive message, so always be nice to people because you don't know what they're going through." -- If you're having a bad day, i would like you to cheer up! You made it through a hell of a week of schooling and you're past another challenging day. Maybe you had a fight with a friend you care about, maybe you got the result of a horrible paper or maybe your parents shouted at you and their words pierced you. You're possibly in a state of giving up on all humanity&hope.  But you know what?  I won't go all wise with quotes and of course it's hard but it's not the worst. There's still more to come and if you don't face any ups and downs, you aren't alive. The human tendency is to look at the negatives more th...

Page 1 of 365 At the approach of a new year, it’s a new slate, all things good for us to gain As one that waits for none; a loophole of time, a new opportunity in the form of a new year is here again. 365 days to evolve and progress, a new leaf to sprout in you For you to improve, grow and always stay true. Trudging up to the edge of 2016; into the new year, diving headfirst, With lessons and memories; for a life of knowledge, in me is a thirst. I will remember after this long and event-filled year, not to lash But realise to spread love like I own an endless stash Ignorance may be bliss but in life- this bubble of hard-hitting reality, Take a vow to be a better version; make the world yours, step by step readily. Here is your chance, beautiful soul Every regret and mistake; reminisce in how strong you’ve become, don’t let it take a toll The past is the past Do not postpone, make your worth here last Let’s work on our resolutions, face...

Hi and Hello

Hi and Hello to everyone  Okay, so I am new to this kind of exposure so please forgive me if any mistakes occur. Not everyone has to understand what I write but I hope I make people happy with what I do. If I say something that is insulting or demeaning in any manner, I promise you that isn't what I mean. To introduce myself: I would describe myself as an average 14 year old ( female ) teenager, making tons of mistakes. A teen with a passion to read, write and with support, I take one step forward to follow my dream. I am part of a big family but to give you the gist, I am one of six. I am blessed with a loving dad, he is the best and I love him more than I can ever put in words. A mother that always gives me the best and my inspiration to write and read with such endless passion. A sister, who is actually 6 years older to me. ( she's okay..I'm kidding, she is the best ms.goody two shoes i could ever have ) And my grandma :)) ahh she is such a big pillar in my l...
