Small Gestures

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

Not a big fan of the world-altering romance. I think something like that would just overwhelm me.

I believe in the small actions that people do.

Like pretending to look at the phone just to give you time to catch up and walk together. Or switching the restaurant to one of your favorites.

Even though they seem like small insignificant things I think they have profound meaning. They are not done to be appreciated instead they are done out of habit. As if it’s the most normal thing for them to do.

I believe being part of someone’s normal is my kind of romantic. It almost feels like you share a world of your own with that person even though there are a billion people around you.

And that to me, is just beautiful.

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! 🙂

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?

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

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.

Choosing my Career

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

I know many would probably have a better answer to this.

It is the first choice I made without anyone’s influence. No parents, no friends, no hours of research. It was a “Eyes closed Giant Leap”. And it has been worth it. I have realized that since I chose a career than neither my parents nor my sister knew nothing about I fight harder to make it work.

It was a risk and I fight everyday to have no regrets on it. Everything that I gained or loose in the way to get to my destination is totally worth it.

People, Noises, Wild Imagination..

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I think being nervous is quite natural and in some cases it could be something that actually saves one’s life.

Being nervous around people makes me cautious of their every move. I have developed the habit of observing people and have avoided many dangerous situations.

Noises…. well some of it are just creepy. Could you blame me? Imagine a wailing cat at 3 am in the night. Not something that I would make me think of happy thoughts.

And of course, with everything odd that does actually happen in the world, add to it my wild imagination. And even there is no base in reality for it, I get nervous.

But the one thing I do despite being nervous is to fight through it. Keep breathing and make smart choices.

Draw

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

There are many things that I do to unwind.

Sometimes I like to draw up a warm bath and read a nice book. Or maybe just order in food and put on a K-drama on TV and binge watch till I fall asleep.

But the best thing I like to do is to draw. I love any sort of art. It disconnects me from the world and makes me just happy.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?
