10 Hours, 48 Minutes: A Journey to Progress

-

Today was a peculiar one—not because of any grand event, but because of the way it felt. The air carried a strange vibe, as if quietly urging me to strive harder and make the most of my opportunities.

I woke up later than planned, but instead of wallowing in guilt, I chose to focus on one task from my to-do list. I started with something simple: organizing my workspace. It was a small win, but it gave me a surge of confidence. With this newfound energy, I sketched out my day. Each task—studying, catching up with friends, and managing household chores—had its place, and I resolved to see it through.

However, life isn’t always so straightforward. By mid-afternoon, unexpected household duties began to disrupt my carefully laid plans. Frustration crept in as my study time dwindled. But instead of giving up, I decided to stay awake until every task was done. It wasn’t easy; the clock struck 3 a.m. by the time I checked off the last item on my list. Despite the exhaustion, I managed to study for 10 hours and 48 minutes—a personal record that brought a sense of fulfillment.

To keep my spirits high, I leaned on my online friends. A heartfelt conversation with them reminded me that I’m not alone in my journey. One of them shared a poem that struck a chord deep within me: 

 


"Tha koi Mera jo mere Dil ko zakham de gya

Tha koi mra jo mere Dil ko zakham de gya 

Zindagi bhar rone ki Kasam de gya

Lakhon phoolon m ek phool chuna tha 

Lakhon phoolon m ek phool chuna tha

Jo kanto se bhi ghara zakham de gya....!!"

(Unknown writer ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿฅ€) 


These lines echoed my struggles and resilience, making me realize that setbacks are just stepping stones.

As I ended the day, I whispered a prayer of gratitude for the strength to persevere. Each day, no matter how ordinary it seems, brings opportunities to grow. Let’s cherish these moments, thank the gods for their blessings, and continue working towards the life we dream of.

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š

31st December – The Last Day of 2024

-

They say, "If the end is good, then everything is good." I had thought of something similar long ago, and with this hope, I wanted to make the last day of the year my best day. My goal was to reflect on all my good deeds, bad habits, and mistakes and welcome a better version of myself into the new year. The last day wasn’t particularly special, yet it carried its own charm. Honestly, this year turned out worse than I had expected. However, amidst the struggles, there were moments of growth and learning that shaped me. One significant highlight was attending weddings and traveling alone to my relatives’ house. For me, this was a huge achievement, as my parents rarely allow me to go anywhere alone. This solo trip to another district was a fresh and enriching experience. Even now, as I write this, memories from that journey fill my mind, reminding me of how far I’ve come in terms of independence. I had planned to make today a productive day, giving my best to every task. However...

Yahi Sach Hai: My Perspective on Life

 Disclaimer: This blog is also written in Hinglish because I believe that Hinglish conveys feelings better. Kaha se shuru karun, samajh nahi aa raha hai. Kuch din pehle ek novel ka chapter padha tha, “Yahi Sach Hai.” Yeh mere dil ke kareeb hai. Iss chapter ko maine teen baar padha hai, aur har baar kuch naya seekhne ko mila. Waise yeh novel mujhe meri badi didi ne diya tha, aur unka favourite chapter bhi ye hi hai. Isme kuch lines mujhe bahut pasand aayi, jaise: "เคซिเคฐ เค…เค ाเคฐเคน เคตเคฐ्เคท เค•ी เค†เคฏु เคฎें เค•िเคฏा เคนुเค† เคช्เคฏाเคฐ เคญी เค•ोเคˆ เคช्เคฏाเคฐ เคนोเคคा เคนै เคญเคฒा! เคจिเคฐा เคฌเคšเคชเคจ เคนोเคคा เคนै, เคฎเคนเคœ เคชाเค—เคฒเคชเคจ ! เค‰เคธเคฎें เค†เคตेเคถ เคฐเคนเคคा เคนै เคชเคฐ เคธ्เคฅाเคฏिเคค्เคต เคจเคนीं, เค—เคคि เคฐเคนเคคी เคนै เคชเคฐ เค—เคนเคฐाเคˆ เคจเคนीं। เคœिเคธ เคตेเค— เคธे เคตเคน เค†เคฐเคฎ्เคญ เคนोเคคा เคนै, เคœเคฐा-เคธा เคเคŸเค•ा เคฒเค—เคจे เคชเคฐ เค‰เคธी เคตेเค— เคธे เคŸूเคŸ เคญी เคœाเคคा เคนै।... เค”เคฐ เค‰เคธเค•े เคฌाเคฆ เค†เคนों, เค†ँเคธुเค“ं เค”เคฐ เคธिเคธเค•िเคฏों เค•ा เคเค• เคฆौเคฐ, เคธाเคฐी เคฆुเคจिเคฏा เค•ी เคจिเคธ्เคธाเคฐเคคा เค”เคฐ เค†เคค्เคฎเคนเคค्เคฏा เค•เคฐเคจे เค•े เค…เคจेเค•ाเคจेเค• เคธंเค•เคฒ्เคช เค”เคฐ เคซिเคฐ เคเค• เคคीเค–ी เค˜ृเคฃा। เคœैเคธे เคนी เคœीเคตเคจ เค•ो เคฆूเคธเคฐा เค†เคงाเคฐ เคฎिเคฒ เคœाเคคा เคนै, เค‰เคจ เคธเคฌเค•ो เคญूเคฒเคจे เคฎें เคเค• เคฆिเคจ เคญी เคจเคนीं เคฒเค—เคคा। เคซिเคฐ เคคो เคตเคน เคธเคฌ เคเคธी เคฌेเคตเค•ूเคซ़ी เคฒเค—เคคी เคนै, เคœिเคธ เคชเคฐ เคฌैเค เค•เคฐ เค˜ंเคŸों เคนँเคธเคจे เค•ी เคคเคฌीเคฏเคค เคนोเคคी ...

The Last Days of January & A Fresh Start in February ✨

  January 31st – The End of a Chapter "I woke up at 7:25 A.M. on January 31st, feeling neutral. It was the last day of the month, and I had mixed emotions—reflecting on what I had accomplished, what I missed, and what I needed to do next. After freshening up, my day started with a cup of tea that I made for myself and my family members. I went to study in the sunlight, where my siblings were already studying because the next day (February 1st) was their board exam. I was studying Physics to complete my syllabus; my sister was revising Biology, and my brother was analyzing question patterns and sending some important questions to his friends. I was also studying but kept observing them. I knew their analyzed questions wouldn't help much, but I still encouraged them, saying, "This is good, but revise other chapters too." By midday (almost 1 P.M.), my sister took the phone from me, and I went to eat something. That was my free time. After 1.5 hours, around 2:45 P.M., I ...
