College Tiers, Career Fears, and a Dose of Reality 📚🧠✍️

 This morning began with me waking up fashionably late—30 minutes behind schedule, to be precise. But hey, I made up for it by diving straight into some quick novel promotion and squeezing in a bit of a workout. Not gonna lie, it’s getting harder every day… but we move.


After that, I freshened up—brushed, showered, the usual—and opened my laptop to binge-watch a bit while having breakfast. A small daily luxury I totally defend.


Now comes the fun part (or not): studying. I tried to focus, but my friends and I ended up spiraling into a deep discussion. We were questioning life itself—like, why stress over top-tier colleges when we can settle for a third-tier one, get a degree, and build real skills online? I mean, I don’t even want a corporate job. I want to be a full-time novelist! 💅


…until my parents gave me a healthy dose of reality.

"Your novel won’t feed you rice and curry," they said.

Touché.


So, I crawled back to my books and got in some actual study time. Just a little, but better than nothing, right?


Later, I worked on my novel—my true love—and now I’m wrapping up the day. Sleep is calling, and so is tomorrow’s grind.


Signing off until next time.

Chasing dreams, dodging responsibilities (but not really). 😴✨

Balancing Board Exams and Distractions: The Struggle Is Real!

Image
  As I sit in the middle of my board exams, I feel like my brain is about to explode from the sheer pressure. The good news is, I've already completed my main subjects. But now, English is next—and I can't help but feel conflicted. Let’s be honest—who actually enjoys studying for English? Who takes it as seriously as the other subjects? It's tough to find motivation, especially with the World Championship Finals playing on the TV, and India is in the game! But of course, my mom won't let me off the hook. She’s already warned me that skipping English preparation will not end well, and I can already imagine the consequences. So here I am, sitting with my books, trying to focus on studying, but my mind keeps wandering to the match. It's a real struggle to stay focused when there’s so much else on your mind, but I have no choice. I need to push through, even if the distractions seem endless. For now, though, I’m signing off before my mom bursts into my room, armed with ...

Discovering the Beauty of English Literature: A Late but Worthwhile Realization

  Glad to say that I’m finally done with my English preparation for today. Surprisingly, I actually found something interesting about studying English! For someone like me—who barely touched an English book all year—reading these stories now feels overwhelming yet fascinating. Some are beautifully written with deep, thought-provoking themes, while others are simply masterpieces of storytelling. And because I'm into writing myself, I could truly appreciate the writer’s perspective in a way I never did before. Take "Deep Water" by William Douglas, for example. The line "Death is peaceful, it’s the fear of death that’s terrorizing" literally gave me goosebumps. Then there’s "The Rattrap" by Selma Lagerlöf—a brilliant mix of humor and deeper meaning. Some poems, like "My Mother at Sixty-Six" by Kamala Das, hit differently. I won’t lie—I was almost in tears. Then came "Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda, and I finally understood why he’s cal...

Just a little update

 Hey everyone how are you all doing? I know i haven't been writting anything pr giving any update. But things have gotten really stressed.  Since my first draft is complete i thought of taking a break so I haven't been making any progress with my novel. I took this time to think what I should actually study? I know i told you all I am serious about being novelist and i still agree with that.  But i think no matter how much time i spend in writing there is almost a lot of free time. So i should do some productive right? I decided i will go to college i will dropout if I don't feel like it or stick to end well that's something i will leave on my destiny. I am okay with whatever turns life holds for me but right now I think it's best to attend a college like everyone else. Why miss a experience of life? As for the subject i will take I am not sure maybe something related to science because I studied that for like my whole life. Once i clear things about my college and ...
