I'M BACK!

Greetings! 

I'm really not sure how to begin. It's been a realllllly crazy ride. I mean, A LOT has happened in my life in the three years post-inauguration of my baby blog. 

For all the newbies on here, I started this blog way back in 2017 as an over-enthusiastic 18-year old, fresh out of writing examinations (my 12th grade boards, my engineering examinations and the examination for being accepted into med school) and with a lot of time on my hands.

I started this blog in hope of passing some time, and to create a virtual diary for myself: somewhere I could look into, in the future. I wanted to jot down a few of my creative ideas - well, sort of how readers often-times bookmark important and creative thoughts in a book, I wanted this blog to be my safeplace- a bookmark to all of my creative and important ideas. 

I'm not really sure what happened, but the good news is...  I GOT INTO MED SCHOOL! Yes, I'm a medical student now, and in no time I'll become a doctor. To being magically attracted to Medicine (Haha, yes, it were the shows Grey's Anatomy and House MD that first ignited the fire in me) to actually competing with other fellow students and getting into med school to now an undergrad for an MBBS degree - IT'S JUST SO UNREAL.

I AM living my dream.

Although, self-doubt did get to me, and that led me to join an engineering college (and Mechanical Engineering, no less) and to actually attend their classes for a week before I realized I had indeed gotten into med school. It was an exciting experience and I now laugh at the thought of me becoming a mechanical engineer. Haha. 

The whole thing happened so fast, almost within weeks of me starting my blog. I shifted into a dorm where the network was kinda sucky and that alienated internet for a while. I would come home every fortnight, and my wi-fi connection would often disappoint me. I was often immersed in a sea of work, and the idea of drowning in it scared me. 

All excuses aside, I did become lazy and the thought of writing another blogpost often mentally exhausted me. If I had the resources and time, I didn't have the will. I could generate a lot of content but the very idea of typing them out kept it from actually happening. 

Being lazy is so dangerous. You could get so used to it, and the clock would just tick away. 

If I now have to list out all the productive things I've done since then, they would easily fit onto a piece of paper. I've literally slept half my time away. Ugh. 

When I look back into my first post on my blog, I also realize I have fallen back on my promise: a promise to self that I would find time for what I loved and work on it. When the truth is simple: I gave up. Well, ALMOST. 

At this point into typing, I have a strong urge to go on a rant about how COVID-19 is all over the place, and I haven't even so much as stepped out of home in the last 4 months since classes were suspended and I came back home, but I believe it would take away the whole essence of this being a new-beginning, come-back kind of a post. (LOL.)

But boy, am I lucky to having had celebrated my 21st birthday literally a week before the lockdown began and the numbers of the people affected with the disease blew infinitely out of proportion!

It only took a global pandemic and months of lockdown, but, guess what? I'M BACK. 🥺 

Embrace yourselves for a ride full of virtual feasts ;)

MASALA LEMON TEA

Hey, you! You're back for more, aren't you? xD Today on my blog, I'd like to jot down the instructions to the recipe of my mother's special   MASALA LEMON TEA.   Okay, a word of caution: this drink can get a wee bit spicy . I often wonder if everyone who tastes it can love it as much as I do, if not more; I wonder if it could suit another person's palate the way it does mine.  Going back into its history in my life and how I got acquainted to it (so I can indulge in my nostalgia just this once), I still remember just how skeptical I was with the whole concept of lemon tea, let alone that of masala lemon tea because the only drink I absolutely adored was "chai" (well, at that point in time at least). But, now I want this recipe to be forever imprinted in my memory to dot just because how homely it feels. Sipping a hot cup during a rainy evening or a winter night is so comforting and this is easily my most favourite go-to beverage. Those of you who've re...

DIY 2: PISTACHIO SHELL CRAFT

Hullo! This post feels a lot like a personal diary entry (which is fine because I left my diary in my dorm when I came back home, and have been yearning to write down certain things that went down during the last few months; only now, I'm typing.) A couple of months into lockdown with almost nothing productive done (except for catching up with lecture classes online,which believe me, weren't that easy to go through because when you're already on the internet and have your devices in hand, concentrating on hour-long lectures aren't that easy. I'd pause the videos in between and get lost in the world of social media and games- the result being hour-long videos turning into a day-long tasks. And because of all the breaks in between I'd hardly have retained any material.)  Phew! Those were a lot of sentences within the parenthesis, so I'm going to come out now ( ;) ) and finish typing up about it. Where was I? Oh, yes, my kinda sucky concentration and as you...

DIY 1: Necklace Organiser

Image
Seeing the pressure of schoolwork building and the stress finally getting to me, my father decided to take us all out to dinner. This was in an effort to help me de-stress and spend some quality time with them. I reluctantly agreed. A big thanks to that fateful evening. After getting into my favourite jeans and the most comfortable top I owned, I realised it was worth accessorising. Boy did I spend time on searching for the right neck-piece! There were several boxes, all kept in different locations, to look in. Tiring? A little.  Jewellery Cluttered into boxes?  Probably not organised enough. So, anyway, I was clearing out my room and found a cute hanger, which had probably come with a piece of clothing I had bought earlier. All of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, an idea struck me. WHY NOT MAKE A NECKLACE ORGANISER OUT OF THIS? And, that my friends, is how the Necklace Organiser here, was born. The Necklace Organiser Like the way it looks? Read on...
