Unpredictable

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

My life has been a roller coaster. I have lost things I never thought I would and achieved things that I thought was impossible.

There are times when I sit and plan for the future and there are some days when I feel “Is there even a point?”

It’s so frustrating when you don’t know the outcome of the effort you put in. Not knowing. That is what worries me the most. But over time I have realized there are a million things that could effect the outcome of my decisions but at the end of the day all I need is the courage to face it.

I have learnt that falling is not the end. I can choose to continue lying on the ground or take a step back and try again. I will fail a hundred times and my future may not turn out the way I want to but that is okay.

I take joy in the small moments in my life and hold onto them for courage to keep fighting. Cheers to the unpredictable thing called my life!

Fate: The Winx Saga

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

Rating: 3 out of 5.

The Winx club is a popular cartoon series that followed the depicted the lives of teen fairies. However, unlike the lively and fun theme that the cartoon series followed when Netflix decided to adapt it for the platform it literally “Took a dark turn”.

Bloom the main character of the cartoon series is shown as a person with dark secrets around her magic. The cartoon series revolve around the friendship that the fairies Bloom, Stella, Musa, Flora, Aisha and Techna build. The series however focuses on how each of them harbors a secret or an uncertainty in their lives which ultimately allows them to connect with each other. The series completely eliminates Techna, Flora was given a second fiddle role to her cousin Terra who is the earth fairy in the gang and Musa rather than the power of music was made an empath.

The Netflix series overall take a hard hitting stance on how the teenage fairies learn how to use their magic all the while facing the challenges of a normal teenager. When Alfea is in jeopardy because of scorched monsters or the “Burned Ones” Bloom gets her wings and uses her Dragon Flame powers to undo the magic that disfigured the Burned Ones in Season 1. The Season 2 of the series follows on the true story of the Burned Ones rather than the myth that was perpetuated.

All in all, in my opinion, the series is good for a one time watch but the avid viewers of the cartoon series may be disappointed in how the Netflix series has turned a light hearted story into a dark and mysterious watch.

Chocolatey Goodness

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I am unfortunately not a person with much of an idea when it comes to food and even lesser when it comes to chocolates.

But over the course of my life I have identified some flavors that work well with my limited palate. I love the taste of hazelnut in chocolate and I also love the taste of dark chocolate. I should mention that the chocolate that has always been close to my heart is “Kit-Kat”.

If I were to to describe my dream chocolate it would be the Kit Kat wafers with Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut cream! 🙂

Empty Conversations?

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I am not one for conversations. I choose to brood over things in my solitude.

It took me sometime but the only time I do “talk” to people is when I want a distraction. Random empty conversations might not add to anything useful in my life but they stop my mind from attacking me. Even if it is just for a short duration in that moment all my worries go to the back of my mind.

On rare occasions that I have a “heart-to-heart” conversations with someone it helps me realize that my life is much better than most people. It gives me a perspective other from my own and I get will to fight a little longer.

So contradictory to most people’s opinion, in my opinion empty conversations do have value.

Being Persistent

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

I prefer to not try rather than fail and I use that as an excuse every time I slip up.

I have huge plans of what to achieve in my future and I realize that to get there what I need more than anything is to keep pushing forward. It’s okay for those days where I just want to be lazy and waste time. All I need to learn is to get up and keep moving forward.

“One step backward two step forward.” I need learn to keep chipping at that block. Here’s to phase 2 of Year 2024.

Seriously?

The first thought I have is ‘what a weird question’. My mind always is running. I have developed the habit of multi tasking and in most cases, at any given point, I think I am always thing of two things at the same time.

So I have no first thing that comes to my mind. the prompt should probably should have been “What is the first thing on your mind when you wake up?” and the answer would be — Where did I throw my bedsheet this time..

I know that corruption in politics always deters us to vote. We may end up thinking “What is the point? Nothing is going to change.” And in most case it is true.

In my opinion, we cannot complain about something if we do not do anything for it. Politics is a difficult career to pursue and one really needs the talent and skill to stay in it. Personally, I feel that I would not be able to handle it and so I choose to vote for the person who I think would be best out of the options I have.

I believe it is my right and responsibility to vote and if I do not do that I should not expect others to perform their responsibility.

When the clock strikes 12

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I think that night owls can relate to me.

I am most productive when everyone is asleep. I feel the quiet of the night makes me more focused on what I am doing.

I do feel sleepy at 10 pm but when I push through that sleep I can keep on working till dawn. Time passing doesn’t even come to mind. Only when my house wakes up again in the morning do I realize that I have skipped bed time all together.

When do you feel most productive?

A Few Words of Comfort

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

Many times in life I see people who seem to be lost in thoughts their face filled with worry and grief.

I used to walk past them with hesitant steps. I really wanted to talk talk to them, to give then a ear. I was never sure how to approach them and I had the constant fear “What if I say the wrong thing”.

Today however, I take the chance, I ask them if they need to talk or if everything is okay. I think if everyone took the time, to ask how others are doing even when they are unsure it makes a huge difference.
