Chapter 16: Vivid description

Today, we were given a small task by our professor, that is to write a vivid description of the person sitting next to us. Let me write mine.

I heard footsteps and looked up to see her walking into the classroom. She wore a blue kurti, her pretty jhumkas perfectly complementing her outfit. Delicate rings adorned both of her hands, adding a touch of grace. Her hair was elegantly styled into a side ponytail which was simple yet beautiful. She smiled and waved at me, her presence instantly lighting up the room. I waved back, feeling the warmth of her easygoing nature wash over me.

She sat down beside me, her eyes wandering as if searching for someone. With effortless grace, she reached into her bag to pull out her phone. What I admire most about her is her carefree spirit. She doesn’t follow trends or worry about what others think of her. She takes up all the negativity and somehow makes it all positive, with her presence.

As she smiled at me, cracking a few jokes, I couldn’t help but be drawn to her effortless charm. The way she carries herself, so full of life and authenticity, makes it impossible not to be captivated by her presence. There’s something about the way she effortlessly owns every room she walks into that leaves me in awe. Even now, as she continues chatting, her laughter fills the air, a reminder of how lucky I am to have her by my side

Thank you for sitting next to me during that hour!!

Chapter 1: Embracing Self Awareness

Let me begin my first blog with a quote, " Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom"- Aristotle I am Alena, I am a normal girl with ordinary talents. If that is the way I introduce myself, what makes me different and what makes me unique? Most of the people including myself, become insecure and shy away from challenges life has in store because of not being self-aware of their potential. Self awareness plays a major role in personal growth and well being of a person. We need to understand and keep track of our strengths and weaknesses. Our strength could end up turning into our weakness and our weakness could end up being our strength later. An example from my life: In school, I had a hard time making friends which I considered as a flaw, In college I don't find that as an issue which ends up being my strength. I remember starting a personal diary to jot down my emotions and instead of writing what I truly felt, I wrote as if somebody would read it. That is not t

Chapter 2: Pain behind every smile

For the people who think life is unfair, "The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears, and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain"- A beautiful soul. Behind every smile there is a hidden story. I had a teacher who had an immense amount of positivity in her. She always wore a beautiful smile on her face. She loved teaching her students and put in maximum effort to everything she did. Seeing her being so positive, I thought she didn't have much trials in life and I wished I was like her. Was that the reality? No!. One day, we had a personal conversation with her and we realised how melancholic her life was. She narrated an incident where she was on the verge of losing her life and she talked about the other issues she had to encounter everyday of her life, which was not something we would imagine her having. She hid all the pain with a smile. I still remember asking her jokingly, "Should I write a book based on your

Chapter 3: Little things matter

"Sometimes it's the little things that make life worth living"- Nadine Gordimer Noticing and appreciating the little things around you can make a huge difference in your life. They say "the bigger, the better," but that's not always true. Sometimes, noticing the small details around you, can bring a kind of joy that big things can never offer. A hot cup of coffee made by your mom, a smile from a stranger, or a compliment from a loved one—little things like these make your heart happy. When someone listens to you with genuine interest, or when they notice that you're not feeling well just by looking at you, you feel loved and cared for Imagine your day like this: You wake up and start the day with a smile. You drink a hot cup of coffee and thank your mom for making it. You enjoy your delicious breakfast. You start traveling, and your auto driver says "thank you". You get on the bus and find a seat while many others are left standing. You give up
