Gratitude

-

The last month has been the most wholesome point of my life, watching the entire class vibe during fest week, creatively bonding over challenges and making memories, with no fear that this would all end in another week.

Although I haven't always been the most charming and interactive at times, I am grateful to the few people who walked into my life and helped me find hope in college life again.

From not wanting to walk into campus a year ago to now looking forward to interacting with non-toxic, interesting, funny, and mindful people - I have experienced what I always manifested.

The people who never judged me for being who I was, appreciated me for working on myself, and walked up to me to make sure I wasn't left out, isolated, or spent time by myself during classes and breaks have been the most beautiful people I aspire to be. 

Making me forget about myself and lose track of time, finding humor in the emotionally exhausting academic grind, and being good listeners to what I feel or say while respecting my privacy felt like a dream. I have noticed all these selfless efforts and silently have tried to learn and replicate these qualities. 

I can only wish I have been the same respectful and lovable person to these few people.

I will forever remember these acts of kindness, and try to propagate the same light wherever I find darkness, now that I look back from the end of this tunnel with hope :)

Here is our South Indian adaptation- obviously brown skin, would make a great Kannada textbook poster boy, hails from a village, has farmer parents, and a crazy amount of inspiring stories. He claims to be an expert at drones, and ' sorry adhunella disclose madak aagalla'  fields of study. He says the secret to his success is - "I have no girlfriend". If a movie would be made on him, he would  probably take up his own role , have a lot of VFX of course, and the movie would end up on Youtube. Drone Prathap makes huge claims about his achievements, claims to have carried 360 Kgs of drone equipment to Japan,  made 600 drones,  taken his drone at the speed of light to deliver anti-...

It's all about the money

It's all about the money Rich rɪtʃ/ adjective Something you can never become. -Google (No wonder I take the Google dictionary seriously) Setting: Some cool place, round-table, circular permutations I'm sitting somewhere in that (n-1)! combinations among (n-1) rich kids, rest you take that Cengage-Algebra book from the library and do the math. (Cool story in past tense, please don't leave the blog midway and ask me in person to finish it) I was sitting in the middle of a few million-dollar-babies. The words they uttered were so mesmerizing. I was staring at those glossy lips as they uttered the language. They spoke about money, money, and one more thing...ahh money. I was the only middle-class kid in the group. Others were obviously stinking rich. They stunk harder than Bellandur lake. As I said, they spoke. Spoke about things which were in some way related to exposing their attribute of being rich. This time, they were talking about the best juic...
