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 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

The part about College Applications NO ONE wants to talk about.

Officially the time of the year when most of us know where we're going to college!  College is stressful: no cap. But what's equally more stressful is the process that builds up to getting into a good college. Whether you're in the Indian education system or an international applicant, we all know that competition is getting tough. Getting into a well-accredited college in India means  and abroad: But real talk: what happens AFTER the whole process? After you commit to a school? I like to phrase this feeling as Tun-tun mausi ke taane. Why? Because no matter what you do or where you end up - there's always someone to talk bad behind your back, nullify your hard work or simply claim, "Oh I'm better."  In the case of college apps, this is manifested by googling the acceptance rate. Let me draw you a picture: Person A gets into an Ivy League/IIT, person B is at a good college and person C got into a local/community college. It's been ingrained in our syste

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

Next Stop: Graduation. Ft. Senioritis.

 I'm officially an adult.  And I'm going to formally experience "life" now. It's going to be tough. I know that. But the only thing that keeps me confident enough to face that fact is that I will never EVER relieve my senior year of High School again. If I could survive 12th grade, I can - hopefully - survive what the future holds for me. So, to officially start the post: School can be rife with stress. Every waking moment is spent either in front of a textbook, in class, doing an extracurricular or editing the millionth attempt of your Common App essay (if you're an International aspirant.) And when you're in a constant loop of the same, fatigue is but natural to catch up to you. This is what my - as well as most of yours' - senior year looked like: Last exam of 11th grade - a movie out with friends - AP's and SAT - Internships - Common App Essay - Extra-curriculars - Barbieheimer - First Semester Exams - Early apps - Durga Puja - Pre-boards - Re
