The New Me!!

-



     I decided to update my blog and now I'll be posting about literally everything!!!! So, basically I've gotten rid of all the boring and cliche blogs. After identifying that my true potential lies in presenting ideas in a satirical, (funny) manner and writing inspirational blogs, I decided to stick with it and let go of my setbacks. From today, I'll be posting only whatever I like! Also, 'Girl with Ink' has a nice ring to it and many friends too have liked the name. I loved the topic ' The new me!!' and have decided to explore it. Hope ya'll like it.
     Many times, we tend to forget ourselves and get lost in the race. We end up choosing subjects, projects and make friends with people who may not be our type and we find ourselves losing the 'me' part. At times we go on pushing ourselves to work or act the way we find it socially desirable. We tend to follow others and try to be like them. All this ends up choking up the 'real me'.
     Despite living in the 21st century, we let ourselves go and try shape according to the societal norms. These norms are set by us and they end up derailing us from all our dreams. We lose our focus and pay attention on the views that the society approves.

 I believe it's high time to change ourselves and our views. If  we stand strong and are correct morally and ethically, no one can stop us. Without holding up let it go and discover your true potential. Identify your strengths and explore them, practice your skills and with time you shall be perfect. Achieve the goals you've set up for yourselves and forget about others. Maybe people will mock you or even try to pull you down, say no and stride ahead without losing confidence. If the future doesn't hold any assurances, mud wrestle it and snatch away what belongs to you.
     Losing yourself is never the correct answer, so dive in, swim up and show everyone the new me.
     I have often made the wrong decisions and wasted all my energy in focusing on the conventional methods. Whether I failed or not is a different issue but I wasn't comfortable or happy with it. It gave me no joy to follow others and at times felt like letting it go. Well,  I have let go of everything which made me unhappy, I don't care about how people perceive me. I have chosen an unconventional field and aim to succeed in it. I may trip and fall but now, I have the strength to lift myself and start with a new vigour. 
     

 If you too, have faced or are facing a similar scenario, let me know in your comments. Let's find ourselves again and deal with life in our way.

Bright Morning - William Wordsworth

-

 'Bright Morning' is a comparatively  less known poem but, is the most charming and eye-catching for me. I had it as a part of my english curriculum in school, when asked to paraphrase it as a homework by the teacher, I felt that it was the best paraphrase I had ever written. So, let's talk about what exactly is a paraphrase. Paraphrasing  involves taking a set of facts or opinions and rewording them. While  paraphrasing , it is important to keep the original  meaning  and to present it in a new form. Basically, you are simply writing something in your own words that expresses the original idea. William Wordsworth is one of the most iconic poet known to mankind. His poems are beyond comparison and he never ceased to grab the reader's attention with the beauty and depth of his poems. One after the other, he wrote poems with each being better than the rest. Bright Morning There was a roaring in the wind all night; The rain came heavily a...

Why I don't go to supermarkets....

'You are late again! Why can't you come little earlier?", I said for the hundredth time. This was a typical Friday and Saturday senario. As usual my mom was late to pick me from my Kathak class. "Why can't you come on cycle if you have so much problem?", she said not willing to admit that she had overslept. Again. "Fine. I'll take the cycle from next class." I say raising my hands surrendering. I sit on the scooty as we zig zag our way through the Saturday traffic. We missed the lane leading to our apartment. "Our building was behind." I say. "I know you got an A in Geography but we are going to the supermarket."  "Woah! How come I am being dragged in this?" I question. My parents are coming to stay with us for a fortnight the last thing I want them to say is we live in a cave." she answered. I am about to point out that all our cabinets are overflowing with stuff and they flood our house when we open...

The Spectacular Quarantine Tales

-
   Not all of us are accustomed to living indoors throughout the day, especially avec our family. Gazing at the scenic beauty of the blank walls and holding the window railings as if I were in a jail and long to be free have occupied a huge part of my day.   My day typically begins with my father yelling at us and trying to wake us at dawn. Catching the first rays of sun is an activity in which he aims to engage me in. Unfortunately, waking up at the ungodly hour of 6 in the morning, a time reserved for bats and vampires does not fall in my to-do list for vacations (read: quarantine).   I beg for 2 more hours of decent sleep and Dad storms off towards his mobile and plays his favorite old songs which by a massive coincidence sound like opera shows. This awakens my sister, who is as cheery is as a peacock in rains.   She runs to get ready for the day while singing K-pop songs. She claims to be able to speak Korean quite fluently, but since I am unable t...
