Of Coffee, Thoughts and Gibberish

  2021 was difficult. Well, I guess it was difficult for most people in different aspects. Mine was a roller coaster ride if anything. In the animated movie, Inside Out, there's different aspects of Riley's life shown in the form of cartoonist play areas- like Family, Career, Friends and Fun. well. If I were to consider this model of theory to measure this year's success, it would be  a solid 8/10. But it doesn't feel like it, because the whole family aspect kind of fell apart, when I lost my loved one this year. I plunged into "moving on" and getting on with life and did pretty well at it, might I add, it's just feels like something is amiss, something tangible I can't point my finger to, and that's loss, and I have now realized that it's inevitable, inescapable and above all, a part of life.  Personal Note aside, Let's start with the year end review, I looked up some prompts, and I will dive into each one of them, let's go:   What is ...

FIRSTLY, this is my 33rd Blog and I'm happy to announce that I finally came up with a logo for my blog, it's everything that  this blog embodies. I was scrolling through Spotify and that is when It popped up "Your yearly Wrap is here". My brain cells just refuse to work for a second there, because damn, this means this year is ending and although I'd spoken about December, It didn't "hit" me.  I honestly don't know what this blog is going to be about, but certainly it's a mixture of everything, so stay tuned. So I went grocery shopping today and got myself some strawberries, yes, 'tis the season and yes, I had them for dessert with Chocolate Syrup or Nutella and if you haven't tried this already, ARE YOU CRAZY? Also, another reason why I love Strawberries, strawberry milkshake. Here's how I make my Strawberry Milkshake- Ingredients 1)8-10 Strawberries 2) A Glass of Milk 3) Vanilla Ice-Cream (optional) 4) Vanilla Essence 5) Hershey...

 Winter wardrobe Essentials Okay, my favorite weather is here!! It is partly my favorite weather because of Hot chocolate, No sweat and CLOTHING. I've grown up watching people in shows wearing the MOST STYLISH Clothes in winter but Hyderabad doesn't actually have cold weather but nevertheless, let's enjoy for two months.   Beanie, Bucket Hat: Hats are one of my favorite part of my accessories.  They're elegant, stylish and never go out of style. For Winters, One of favorite things to wear is a Beanie. I've always had one weirdly, I used my brother's old one and recently, I got an off white one and it has a pom pom at the end *Puppy Eyes*. It goes well with all winter clothing especially with Jackets or any kind of Layered Clothing. Another option, recently in trend is the Bucket Hat. This goes well with more Casual Clothing but if dressed up carefully, can work well with Chic and Boho as well. This is'nt specific to Winter but Nevertheless, keeps your ears w...

 I have a book dedicated for writing down all the quotes, excerpts and learnings I've gathered from Reading, watching and Listening to Stuff. I was randomly flipping through pages ( I do that from time to time) and it makes me realize and remember all the stuff I've written and overtime, I've tried to remember and  implement. If I were to write down about all of them, It'd probably make a small book but I decided to share some of the excerpts that truly changed me, my perception and just was eye opening, and sometimes, just a reminder. "If you Really Want it, make your Dream happen" Every time you lose hope or feel demotivated, just read it, read it until you feel it. How badly you want it will just give you enough motivation to get back at it, no matter how hard or impossible it may seem at the moment. Do everything in your power to make it happen. "Something Inside you is always telling a story" I can't help but think of  life as a Story and ho...
