Why Stress Shouldn't Exist

Dear Readers ,       I believe the world would be better if stress didn't exist. I know we have to experience sadness to appreciate the feeling of happiness.  But I don't think we need to feel stressed out every once in a while    to feel the satisfaction of being relaxed.       Stress is disadvantageous because even a person with good time management loses their efficiency because of it. Let me explain.     Suppose a person has one hour to complete three assignments. Maybe sixty minutes is sufficient for that person to complete those assignments. In  reality, though, that person will not get an entire hour. This is because, a fraction of that time is spent thinking about how stressed out they are because of the work they have to do.    I've been there. If I have thirty minutes to study, I'll probably only get 20 minutes' worth of studying done. The reason for this is: the entire time, there will be these ...

Things to do While it's Raining

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted for so long...I didn't know what I should write about. But yesterday, a friend finally suggested blogging about things to do while it's raining. And I loved that idea...after all, it is the monsoon season. So here are somethings you can do on rainy days. SLEEP: Don't know about you guys, but for me, sleeping in the rain is really satisfying. So, if I have nothing else to do and it's raining outside, I take a nap. RIDE YOUR BIKE: I just LOVE going bike riding in the rain. I never miss a chance of doing this...it's way too awesome. GO FOR A WALK- If it's drizzling, go for a stroll. If it's raining a little heavily, take an umbrella if you don't want to get wet. Either way, walking in the rain is a great thing to do. SIT IN THE BALCONY(OR PORCH)- Just admire nature, read a book, call someone or anything else. SNACK- rainy days are just another excuse for foodies (like me XD) to eat hehe. When it's raining, I l...

My Last Day of Summer Break

Hey guys! I really wanted to do a summer vacation-related post earlier this month but I never got around to it and now I'm gonna have to talk about the end of summer since I only have two whole days before school starts. I finished all my homework a week or two ago and today I made sure there was nothing left, which means I won't have to worry about that anymore. I am going to study a little though, because exams start from the 9th of July. I'm going to play with my brother as much as I can because on school days, we are really busy, and we have extra-curricular activities at different times, and when we both ARE home, we spend all that time fighting. Mostly, I just plan to relax and take it easy. This includes reading, calling my friends, listening to songs, etc.  I'm also recalling the fun things I did this summer- I went to Delhi, had fun when my relatives came here, slept a lot, etc.Thinking about these things make me smile. And of course, I'll make s...

Punjabi Songs I Love

Heyy guys!  I just LOVE Punjabi songs. There isn't a single day I don't listen to 'em. But there are 3 songs in particular I really enjoy listening to. Here they are: Teeje Week by Jordan Sandhu - I love the lyrics  and when I hear this song, I go, "yay!" This song is kind of funny too, and I do love a bit of humor. Jani Tera Na by Sunanda Sharma - I feel like dancing when I hear this song. Plus, I really like Sunanda Sharma's voice.  Diamond by Gurnam Bhullar - The music is really awesome and the double pitch effect   makes the song even better. Some other Punjabi songs I really like: Raat Di Gedi by Diljit Dosanjh Lahore by Guru  Randhawa Jimmy Choo by Guri Illegal Weapon by Jasmine Sandlas and Garry Sandhu Akh Lagdi by Akhil That's all for this post. I know I didn't write much but I just wanted to share 3 of my favorite Punjabi songs. I might make a part 2 of this post later. Thanks for reading! Until next time... ...

My Favorite Books

For a bookworm like me, choosing a favorite book is impossible. But after thinking about it for a while, I decided there are a few books I can consider my favorite.So, I've decided to talk about these books with you. THE LEMONADE WAR (by Jacqueline Davis)-The first time I read this book was in 5th grade- Mrs. Federhofer read a chapter to us everyday after lunch. I loved it and bought it right away. And since then I've read it at least 50 times- I'm not even kidding... it's that great. It's my go-to book for when I don't have anything else to read. I could read it again several times. I can also relate to this book as it describes competition between siblings and I have a younger brother.  WONDER (by R.J. Palacio)- I read this book for the first time when I was in 4th grade. I bought it from the scholastic book fair. I've read it three times since then. This book is so inspiring and there are some parts which made me cry each time I read them. I'd ...

How I Study for Exams

Dear readers, My final exams start from the 27th and I'm studying really hard for them. And there are some methods I use to revise and I find them really helpful and efficient.  So, I've decided to share them with you. I hope these tips help you too. I stick to my daily routine even on exam days. This includes music, games, friends, and more. But I always continue to have fun even during exam time. Sometimes, I talk to my friends  a little less than usual or watch less TV so that I have more time for studying. But I still take out time for them and my hobbies. I complete the easy chapters first. It's better that way. I don't really know how to explain why...but it just is. But sometimes, I do the harder chapters first. It depends on the subject, syllabus and the time I have. I don't worry too much bout the topics or questions I don't understand. Instead, I move on and focus on what I can  do. I never replace sleep with study hours. What one wants to a...

Live in the Moment

   We always plan for the future. We study for exams, knowing that passing our exams will help us get a good job so that we can earn for  living.     Planning ahead is necessary. But I feel we should sometimes forget about what's gonna happen in our life next and just cherish the present.     Final exams are on the way and I do plan on studying for them, but I'm not gonna stress myself out. Instead, I'm going to enjoy each day, each little thing. I know, performing well on these exams will help me in the upcoming years. But why would I care about improving my future when I just want to live in the moment?     I have one piece of advice for all those who take my tips seriously: Don't worry about the future. Plan ahead, but make sure you give yourself enough time to experience what's going on right now.    I know you all want yourselves to be successful later on in your life. But you should also understand...

What I Love About December

               December is finally here! It's not really my favorite month or anything, but it's the last month and this year has been absolutely spectacular ! So, I decided to make a list of the things I love about December and share it with you. Here it is: Sitting on the terrace after school when the sun is out. Drinking a lot of tea, hot chocolate, and warm milk. Sometimes coffee, and of course, different kinds of soup! Eating peanuts and jaggery as a snack and after dinner with my family. Peanut brittle!!! A lot of it! After all, it is my favorite dessert of the winter season. Thinking twice about leaving the house because it's just too cold outside. Collecting socks. You can never have enough pairs of socks, right? stepping into the room after the heater has been on for 5 minutes and I have just come from a colder room in my house. Trying to do everything I can without leaving the quilt. Wanting to spend time in ...

Memories of Halloween

            I can't recall a time I didn't celebrate Halloween. I find it a very exciting holiday and it's too bad it isn't celebrated in In India. But every year, when Halloween is on its way, I like to remember the years I celebrated it in the US. And now that I have a blog, I thought I'd share these memories with you guys... Costume Preferences: Halloween is usually associated with scary costumes like ghosts, vampires, and mummies. But I have always preferred costumes like my favorite girly characters and cute animals. In kindergarten, I was Aurora, my favorite Disney princess. My friend was Snow White (her hair was also similar to that of the princess). We had also gone to a photo studio that year to have our pictures taken in our costumes. Then, in first grade, I was Gabriela from High School Musical. (I was obsessed with those movies at that time.) Once, I was Silvermist from Tinkerbell. And another time I was a Japanes...

Now or Never...

Dear readers,  have you ever put something off till later and then never got round to doing it? Trust me, I've been there. In fact, I thought of writing this more than two weeks ago! Unfortunately, I kept telling myself that I was too busy and that I'd do it later. But doesn't have to be like that...it's just a matter of getting your priorities straight. If you know what's important to you, you can do everything you set your mind to. The biggest "don't" of priorities is to delay things. What has to be should be done now or you'll end up forgetting about it. Thee have been many times when I've told myself I'll revise for a test AFTER a snack but it's when I'm all set to sleep that I realize that I never got the chance to study for the test because I decided to put it off till later. And  there are other times  when I get frustrated because I really want to do something but I don't get the time. But then I decide that if I...

My Summer Essentials

Hey guys!! How's your summer going? Mine has been fantastic so far. That's because I have all the things I need for an amazing summer and I thought I'd share them with you. Books-a bookworm like me wouldn't be able to go one day without reading-even in the summer. So, with enough books to read, my summer is sure to be outstanding. Music-whether it's my MP3 player or a flash drive for the car while travelling, I love to hear my favorite songs. In the summer, I listen to songs while relaxing, with friends, while travelling and everywhere else. Travel-every summer, I go somewhere or the other by car or train-my grandma's house, to visit cousins, or for sightseeing. Without a family vacation, my summer is incomplete. Camera; every summer, memories are made and I like to capture those moments forever. So, I always carry a camera to take pictures during a road trip, or while having fun with family. Journal/diary-I love to write so I note down the significant...

Hidden Meaning of Text Messages

Heyy, We all text different kinds of people-usually crushes and friends of the same and opposite gender. Today, I'm basically going to be telling you about hidden meanings of texts from the opposite gender.  And ok, You might be thinking, "since when has K Glamour started writing about these kinda things?" and the answer is now. So anyway, I've messaged a guy and I could tell he wasn't really enjoying it. But then, I recently started talking to a new guy friend, and we had endless things to talk about. There were many ways how I came to know whether a guy likes to talk to me or not. Replies: If the person replies with okk, hmm or ohhh, then they are just typing something for the sake of replying. If you get a question as a reply, then that person is interested in knowing more. If they give a thoughtful, reply. they  care about you. Conversation starters: If he/she starts a topic, they want to talk to you. If it's something a bit personal, that mean...

Elements of Friendship

Be Happy

Dear readers,  Sorry I haven't posted for so long. School's been keeping me busy.  And I realized that it's good that school has kept me busy. No one wants to be bored right? So today I want to share some ways to express your happiness to others and to yourself. Thank others: thanking other doesn't just mean saying thank you after receiving a really great gift...You should also thank the ones who care for you occasionally so that they know you don't take them for granted. For me, this includes my parents, friends, and brother. Write it down: at the end of the day make a list of the things that made you happy on that particular day. It could be a conversation with someone you like, or maybe you got full on a test. No mater how small of a thing made you happy write it down. Share it: You probably share everything with your BFF.

The Perfect Birthday

Hey guys! It's my 14th Birthday today. I'm at home, cherishing all all the amazing memories of my party. But do you know what makes those moments memorable? Here's what I've discovered at my party today. You may not agree with me, but these are my observations for what makes a birthday memorable. Family and friends: Birthdays are always better when you have the people that care about you at your party. With the right people like grandparents, cousins, parents and friends, you can have a blast at your party. venue: The venue of your party really matters. You need sufficient space, and a satisfying area for the party. Games: classic games like musical chairs and passing the parcel can be fun but, create some modern games. With some unique games, you can have a great time. Music: Songs affect the mood of a party. If conversations are slow, play a little music to lift the quiet mood. Make a playlist of your favorites as it's your party. Food: Snacks are a big...

You are Not Alone...

Can you recall a day when you weren't happy and you just wanted to cry? Well, I think we've all been there.  Sometimes, when we are feeling low, we for that somewhere else in the world, someone else is thinking the exact same thing. Also, when we are in a bad mood, we have the choice of locking ourselves away from the rest of the world or, going out there and enjoying. So instead of wanting to be alone, find someone to share your feelings with. There are many people that care fort you- parents, friends, teachers, siblings, and even pets. You might've gotten a bad grade...tell someone about it. You might have fought with a friend...tell someone about it. You might have forgotten to do something extremely important and know you're devastated, embarrassed yourself, gotten hurt, etc. don't keep this to yourself. You might not want to share your thoughts because you are scared someone will laugh at you. That's how I felt before startin...

Friendship Poems

Hi guys!! Happy New Year! Sorry I haven't for so long... I've been busy. Anyway, I'm on vacation and suddenly, I had a blast of poem ideas. So I thought I'd use that as a blog idea. Let's start the year by appreciating our amazing friends with some poems i wrote myself. First up, are two limericks: A LONG-LASTING FRIENDSHIP I want to be your friend till the very end. And in my own way,  I just want to say on our friendship my life will depend. A HELPING HEART I want you to know, when you're feeling low, you can come to me, and you will see, a caring heart is what I'll show. Next is a little poem in a different pattern A REASON TO SMILE I want to say one thing that you will like. It may even bring tears to your eyes. I want you to know, I'll be by your side, wherever you go, and through a bumpy ride. One last poem...it's longer than the rest,                            but it...

Technology At School

Hi guys How's life? Technology is very useful in our day to day lives. We use at home all day. Some may think that it is not really used at school in a way kids might want to use it. I agree with that. So here's what I think: We have smart-boards that teachers use during lessons. During computer class, we use computers, but only to do the given assignment. But there are many more ways we should be taking advantage of technology at school: Kids should be allowed to take phones to school from middle school onward. Of course, it would be against the rules to play games during the lessons. But, phones would come in handy to make calls during breaks and use the internet to search things related to assignments. To save paper, online books could be downloaded on tablets. Students could study on those tablets rather than using books. It would be an environment-friendly way to learn. Technology is used almost everywhere nowadays. it is important to be technology-smart....
