Passing Thoughts...

**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...

 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...

 For this year's summer vacation, we decided to visit Singapore. Singapore's name is itself derived from 'Singa Pura' (which means "Lion City"). We didn't arrive at this decision to go to Singapore right away, though. My dad and mom went back and forth constantly between going to Baku, Azerbaijan, or Singapore and Malaysia (Malaysia was included in our plan of going to Singapore). We decided the only way to arrive at a decision was to weigh out the pros and cons of each place.  So we came to the following conclusion: Singapore - is hot but not very expensive; Baku - is pleasant but expensive  Keeping this in mind, we decided on Singapore. We were also mindful of the fact that because it would be hot, we would not keep the itinerary very hectic, with a maximum of two activities planned for the day so we wouldn't get very tired.  Our flight was booked for the 15th of April. It was a four-hour flight that I found very exhausting as I couldn't sleep at...

Along with Singapore, we went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It's called the City Garden of Lights due to its rich nightlife, illuminated skyline, and rich green parks, gardens, and spaces. We stayed there only for 3 nights and a day. I felt we should've stayed for some more time, as just 2 nights seemed like such a short time. Anyway, when we entered our hotel, I noticed it was so much more spacious than the previous hotel, and cost 3 times less. It also didn't have a sink next to the bed, which felt much more normal. DAY 1 Our flight was a four-hour one, and by the time we reached our hotel, it was 4 pm. Also, we were really tired from the journey of the one hour it took to reach our hotel from the airport. So we spent a few hours relaxing and freshening up. When it was about 7 pm, we decided to take a walk in and around our area and then have dinner.  For dinner, we found a restaurant that served Indian food and tried it out. We ordered South Indian but it was definitely not...

Before you bombard me with questions similar to the one this blog is titled, I'll give you my answer- I had been extremely engrossed in studying for my tenth-grade Board exams (*internal scream*)! When I say engrossed, I mean not able to focus on literally anything else. I'd made a mental resolution before the beginning of tenth grade- I'd give my 100% in everything I was studying and not let any distractions deter me from my path. At the beginning of tenth grade, everything was going decent. I'd been focusing in class like never before, noting every word the teacher uttered, and got decent marks. For some reason though, I'd always make some or the other silly mistake in math and science and my overall percentage would go down, making me lose confidence. My teachers Luckily, I had the best tuition teachers who wholeheartedly taught us. They were a big boon to me, I must say! If not for them, who knows how I would've managed! They kept motivating us to do our bes...
