REALLY Long Time...I Know!

Yeah, I haven't written in four years, I know. That's quite a long gap. But before you think anything else, let me tell you that things have changed quite a bit. Those changes included some boring ones, some happy ones, maybe some exciting ones as well. 



Okay, so let me start at the start. Well, the first thing is I am writing this blog and not my dad. So basically, I have inherited doing this activity from my dad. And the next thing is ... I am 12 now. Yes!! A double-digit number finally after all these years! 

I am in grade seven and going to school will remain a cherished memory.. Well, if you are thinking I quit school, I didn't at all! 

Suddenly, there rose a semi-powerful disease called Coronavirus Disease or in short, Covid-19. So, if you have no idea about what I am talking about, this is basically a disease that is shaped like a crown and that's why got the name Covid-19 or Coronavirus Disease. Also, one needs to take safety measures and stuff to be safe from it.                     

So, it has been almost 5 months, since we did anything 'normal'. I have been at home for the last 5 months. Schools have been shut down and classes are on-line.  No going out, no restaurants, no vacations or travelling. All of this is has hence coined the term 'The New Normal'. On weekends, we manage to go to Jade Garden, which is the new home of my cousins - Ananya and Aniketh. 

Okay...so, my other cousin- Aarav, turned 6! And is probably going to enter the first grade. And yes, he is also doing online classes. And just to add, Aarav and Devika or Devu as we call her, along with Vinitha ammai and Saiju maama, have also shifted to their new home.

Upcoming Vietnam Trip (plus a bit about Goa)

Image
Hey folks!   Back after long. I don't seem to find time to write to you everyday and hope you can bear with my extremely irregular timings. I'm mostly going to be writing when something big comes up, like this trip I'll be going to.  I'm going to Vietnam! My mum, dad and me have been spending the afternoon binge-watching travel guides related to Hanoi, Hoi-an and other touristy places in Vietnam. Even as I'm writing to you, background music, crowded voices and other goings-on can be heard. I've been recommended many things to do and eat by my friends. I initially thought I could snorkel there, but that's not actually what Vietnam is famous for. Rather, its culture, food (like pho), amazing beaches and friendly people is what makes it what it is.  Flipping through the videos, the humbling architecture there caught my eye. Being able to explore different types of buildings and their ancient history is nothing less than breathtaking. It was like this time I wen...

More News..

**NO OFFENCE** 1. Yesterday, my cousins came over, along with my aunt, uncle, and my grandparents. Then Aniket asked me for tea to spill and I said I had nothing. Why is it that every time someone asks me how my life is going, I have very little to say?  2. My tuition teacher who teaches me political science, history and economics, sucks at her job. All she does is read from my textbook and explains whatever she knows. The other day she told me some student's parent came over and gave her their child's textbook for my teacher to go through so that she'd at least know what the contents were before teaching, she said she didn't need them. So every time I open my book to learn something new, she also learns it for the first time. My 98 in social science is literally all because of me, my Youtube teachers, and my school teacher. Another half-witted student goes to her to learn 10th grade science. So she's the one who's going to teach him physics numericals, the stru...

Another Update

 Back after months! I'm now in grade 11. I took humanities (arts) because I want to be a product designer and I don't really understand why I must take science or commerce when it won't add any value to my career (not like arts will, either). If you're wondering what subjects I took up, they're- History, Economics, Political Science, English and Painting. I took Painting because I thought it'd be at least a little helpful in my future, if I want to join NID (National Institute of Design), or something when I show my portfolio.  Also if you're thinking that the subjects I took up are easy, they're NOT. I just don't seem to understand why people feel like arts is easy. Of course stuff like who Genghis Khan is, what administrative changes he brought about, etc. doesn't and won't help anyone, ever. But it isn't easy to remember useless stuff like this and fill up pages and pages of answers in History to get marks.  How much ever I've rant...
