The Day I Gave My Entrance Exam – A Chaotic Yet Memorable Experience

 Today was the day—the day I sat for my entrance exam. Yesterday, I tried my best to revise as much as possible, but I still couldn’t complete my full revision. This time, though, I made sure to sleep on time because I didn’t want to make bad decisions in the exam due to sleep deprivation. (Don't judge—I’ve made that mistake before!)


Even though I struggled to fall asleep, I still got some proper rest. I woke up just in time and left for my exam center, only to be hit with the first crisis of the day—I was at the wrong center! Talk about bad luck. Fortunately, I had a few minutes to spare, so we rushed to the correct location and made it just in time.


Just when I thought the chaos was over, the exam officials told me that my identity card wasn’t updated and that my exam could be canceled because of it. At that moment, my heart nearly stopped. But I kept a smile on my face—I wasn’t about to show them how scared I was. Luckily, they showed some mercy, and I was allowed to take my seat.


The exam started, and panic tried to creep in again. This was my chance to get into college, but the competition was insane. Instead of letting fear take over, I made a conscious decision: rather than rushing and risking negative marking, I would focus on accuracy. I held myself back from randomly marking answers, which was a huge win because, trust me, I would’ve probably ended up with more wrong answers than right ones.


The exam ended, and honestly? I have no idea how it went. So, I won’t say anything—let’s wait for the results.


Once I got back home, I took some well-deserved time off. First, I called my friends and gave them the full rundown of my exam-day chaos. Then, I did something I love—I worked on my novel. (Yes, I write novels—cool, right?) After that, I spent some time sketching (I’ll drop today’s progress below).


To unwind, I watched The Corpse Bride, and wow—what a masterpiece! I absolutely loved it; no words can do justice to how brilliant it is. After that, I binge-watched some web series before finally heading to bed.


From tomorrow, it's grind time again—my second entrance exam is coming up, and I need to give it my all. Wish me luck!

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 ...
