My Playlist- part 1

Hey there!

I didn't write anything on my blog, as I was running out of things to write about. So, today I thought, that maybe I should write a post about somthing I haven't written before- "Music!"
This post is going to be about some of the songs that are in my playlist nowadays(on constant repeat);P. There isn't a single day for me, that passes without music. May it be listening to songs, playing piano on my tab or singing (while annoying others ;D) So, without further ado, here's the list-

Ours by Taylor Swift
I loved this song ever since I heard it on VH1. The lyrics are adorable!


One Love by Jennifer Lopez
I was looking for one love by blue, when I found this song. And I love it.

You and I by One Direction
this needs no explanation. The video just came out, and I got addicted to the song once again.


I knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift
I love this song! I know how to play Iit on the piano, so I guess that's a plus point. (;

I think that's enough. To be continued... (;

Family time! (:

Hello everyone!

Yesterday, I went to Dehradun, which is a 2 hour drive from where I live. My relatives and cousins live in D.dun. Yesterday, I met my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins who are here for a vacation. They live in London, England. I had met them once, but never really talked to them. This time, I got to know them a little better, and it was fun. (:

I had heard my mother talk about my aunt, and I was the one who pressed for more details, because she sounded a bit like me. She also read the same authors that I had read, when I first developed the habit of reading. This time when I met her, I asked her to suggest me some authors to read, she named- Stephen King, Jacqueline Wilson, Tracy Beaker etc.

Another thing that I liked was, the "accent". My cousins were born and brought up in London, and thus they have British accent, that I like a lot. :D I don't have an accent, but I wish I did.

That's all. Thanks for reading!

Villette by Charlotte Brontë

Hey everyone!

I am reading Villette by Charlotte Brontë currently, and I have a good opinion about the book. The summary, as at the back of the book is-
"Based on Charlotte Brontë's personal experience as a teacher in Brussels, Villette is a tale of repressed feelings and subjection to cruel circumstance and position, borne with heroic fortitude.

Rising above the frustrations of confinement within a rigid social order, it is also the story of a woman's right to love and to be loved."


I've never been a big fan of classics, but that is because I never tried to develope interest in them. The protagonist of this story is, Lucy snowe, and I like her.
I'm liking the book, so far.

That's all. (:

Thoughts on poetry, and a new poem!

Heya..

I've been reading and writing poetry a lot, lately. I got inspired to do so by a scholastic book, "How to write poety". I read different forms of poems. Though, I've read free verse poems i.e. the poems which do not rhyme, I was never very interested in them. But I was very wrong, in thinking that free verse poems are not as good as rhyming poems. I have read a lot different poems on various topics, ranging from reading to solitude. Infact, I have written 2 free verse poems! (:

The first one is about a summer camp, that I went to in 2008, and it was a lot of fun. Here it is-

My days at summer camp

Making little X-mas trees,
From paper and confetti.
Splashing around the pool,
Floating and swimming.
Staining clothes
While making pottery.
Trying a hand
At basketball;
Winning silver medal
In badminton.
Putting my heart and soul on paper,
While I drew.
Whispering and giggling
While learning yoga.
Singing a song in chorus,
With the beats of congo.
Dancing on the
Latest dance number.
Roller-skating,
Round the rink.
A rude girl,
Like villian in the story.
A sweet friend,
A little younger than me.

Holidays..

Hey!

I haven't written on my blog, for a while. My cousins are here, since their exams got over recently. We had a lot of fun in the past few days, like we went to Mc Donald's twice. And, we went to dinner, and a video game parlour, though I didn't play anything. I and Vinayak, stay up till late, reading, talking, or writing in our own journals. We also stack our room with eatables, and have a kind of midnight feast. (:

I taught English to 9th class today. I have holidays till15 April, and as surprising as it may sound, "I hate holidays". I get bored at home. I finished reading "the last song" by Nicholas Sparks. I have a neutral opinion about it, it didn't appeal to me, as much as I wanted it to.
now, I've started "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho,  it seems to be a nice book. I had a misconception, that all his books are philosophical, and not my type. But, I'm liking the book, this far.

that's all. Bye..

I'm back! (;

Hey everyone!

I know that, I earlier wrote that I won't be blogging anymore. But, I've changed my mind, because I realized that it was a stupid decision. Anyways, about this post. I tried to write a story whose first chapter is up on my blog, but I couldn't find any interesting storyline appearing in my head, so I've started a new story! (:

The only thing that I can share right now about the story is the names of the protagonists: Amy Delacroix and Kevin Gray. I didn't start writing stories until November 2013, as I thought that I wouldn't be able to write something good enough. But, I guess we shouldn't  do anything by other's idea of "good", rather by our own feeling of satisfaction.

That's all ! (;
