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...
