My initial experience at college

 A girl, trying to find people from her department and stumbling across the campus with them trying to find her (and their) classroom. Yes, that was me after two days of orientation. This was the third day of my coming to college however the first day of attending classes and meeting my classmates. 

If I have to say how I felt, in one word, I would say lost - literally and mentally! As the day dragged on, I felt upset that I didn't connect or mingle with anyone properly. It was as if I was trying to fit into groups that were, already existing. I strongly missed my schoolmates and the fun we had in school. The professors were nice and I made it through the first day. 

However, college started to grow on me. I began to love the campus and the building where my classroom is. And as days went by, there arose opportunities where we as a class could mingle. I eventually was able to talk with people and casually hang out with my classmates. What I thought about people ended up not being true. I later found out about the prayer fellowship happening in the college as well. College became fun and I was able to meet many wonderful people. 

College life or any new phase of life can be a bit challenging. It is better to give it some time first. Eventually things will hopefully work out in the end. I am thankful to God for and I hope that the rest of my college life goes smoothly and wonderfully.

Cultural Tapestry of Food

 Food, clothing and shelter are needed for man's survival, among which food takes the first place. Food comes from the late Old English word 'fōda' of Germanic origin, relating to the word fodder. Apart from filling us up, food plays a major role in the culture of a country, society, etc. The ingredients of a country's national dish tell us more about the country than the dish itself.  Each dish holds a story, the heritage of the place it's from. The ingredients of a dish tell us, what the place it's from is best known for. For example, India has a extremely diverse cuisine. However most of it's dishes have a flavour explosion and lots of spices related to them, thus showing India's excellency in spice  production.   In literature food can indicate status or milieu; we see references to eating tend to be symbolic; even in fiction and fantasy. The author involves scenes where the main character, enters into the fantasy world, gets to try let's say for...

Thrills and Chills of Commuting Solo

  Hi there! Welcome to my blog. Here I sprinkle my thoughts on various, random topics. Today, I wanted to write on commuting solo.  Commuting alone, for the first time that too for quite a long distance was a very exciting adventure for me. I remember the very first day of college when I caught the bus and took my seat. The bus started moving and there was this head rush I felt. The places I had seen before in that route when I travelled with my parents seemed so different. Commuting solo unveils a new perspective of the place one lives in. Be it the sky painted in changing hues of purple,pink, blue and yellow, or spotting  rainbows and uniquely shaped clouds, or just taking a power nap, all these add to the allure of solo commuting. I would be lying if I say, even today I feel the same enthusiasm and excitement as I did on the very first day of this experience. This whole thing can become mundane and a bit boring as time elapses, particularly when traversing the exact sa...

From Nerves to Cheers: A Reflection on our 'Animal Farm' Adventure.

 Recently, in my college, my class had its  'Animal Farm' day. This basically is a day when the whole class, divided into teams, performs each chapter of the novel 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, which is a part of the syllabus. It has sort of become a tradition in our college, as we heard from our seniors that they performed it in their first year as well. The day begun with most of us being a bag of nerves, worrying about how we were going to perform. The first four teams had to perform in front of our HOD. To add to this pressure, our class was informed that students from another college had come to watch our performances. The first four teams gave splendid performances.  Honestly, I remember sitting there, me and a few of my teammates hoping that our play wouldn't be lacking and that it turns out good. Then we shifted to our classroom after the first four plays were done. The other teams' plays that I got to watch, the level of  creativity was amazing. It wa...
