Spectacles

 Spectacles. 
The most annoying thing right? I did a survey of around 15 people who have specs and literally every single person said that they are the most irritating thing on earth. I agree to this too.

Welcome back to month 2 of  "Faltu Friday" where I talk about something totally random which ya'll may relate to :)

I got chashma  about a year a ago and OMG its literally been the worst thing ever! Well after braces. It initially started out with a low negative power but then it went zoop after a few weeks. For me it started with not being able to see my school board AT ALL. It was all so hazy with words jumbling up, which probably most of you experience if you don't wear specs and try to look far. 

After 3 weeks of this, I finally came around and told my mom that I needed specs. So naturally she first took me to a ophthalmologist to check if I needed specs. After the entire process of the eye-drops to going to the shop and getting glasses of the correct power that actually suited my face, my "safety" phase kicked in -_-

You could ask anybody and every single one would agree to the fact that I was treated my glasses like a child. Every single minute I would either be cleaning it or keeping it safely in my box with the lenses facing up. Around a year in, I genuinely don't care about even wearing them, cause they are SUPER painful. Especially with online classes going on, wearing that with headphones is absolute torture.

I know, I know, it will harm my eyes but its agonizing :'( 

Anywhoo, I have no idea where my specs are right now so I'm gonna go look for them because I low-key need to wear it because my eyesight has been spoiled big time.

Take my advice, WEAR EM SPECS because its not worth the pain it causes later. They give too many headaches and cause a lot of strain on your eyes if you don't.

Drop your experience if you've ever had spectacles and how they might have tortured you in some way 😂.  Do share and subscribe for new content every Friday :)

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

    This blog post is so relatable. When I first got specs my head used to pain a lot because of the power being high and me not being used to it. But now I genuinely dont care... loved this post by the way...

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-

 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
