The Lemonade Theory

HEY HOWDIE HEY FOLKS!
welcome to another edition of everyday epiphanies... (i admit i'm quite lazy, apologies for my tardiness in keeping up with the times ;p)
so today was a rather eventful day, i attended a National-level debating contest and boy-oh-boy did i have my ass whooped big time xD
Needless to say i went in dreaming of the Rs 25,000 cash prize (which translates to around 250 pounds/$376.56) and an extremely cocky and arrogant attitude (even though my belly was doing flip-flops round the time i was about to start debating!) which didn't do me any good because i made it to the 2nd round and was crushed by a 21 year-old law student from Mumbai university :(

and all the while i can only think of what fun he must be having climbing up the ladder,stabbing others in his quest for WORD Domination (+1 if you see what i did there xD) and ultimately winning the grand prize
i have now adopted the motto- "when life gives you lemons, squeeze some in your eye and cry"
{BECAUSE SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS}
*a moment of silence to let me wallow in sorrow*




THANK YOU
moving on...
i also got my very first 5-inch smartphone yesterday on the occasion of my birthday last sunday!!
correction.. WAS my birthday ;p
anyhow this phone business is all very grand. First off when you go from ice cream sandwich to lollipop (the android versions) you'll be in for a real suprise my friend.. turns out your phone actually works when it has a better android system!


the phone specs/review/reaction etc. are going to be part of another blog altogether but basically here's a sneak-peek as to how bamboozled i was when i laid eyes on my delectable suprise birthday present
real accurate non?
then again you'll never know xD
also the very first selfie i took was this:

i know i know... now might be a nice time to apply that motto of mine into practice xD (and to think a 13 mega pixel camera would do you any good)
now before i stray of topic any longer let me get back to why and what the title means what it does
as the very name of blog suggests, today i had a sudden epiphany!
there are 2 types of people in life, who abide by 2 very different lemonade theories:
#1 "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"
#2 "when life gives you lemons, squeeze some in your eye and cry"

however today it dawned to me that even though i faced humiliating defeat and was crushed at the hands of my enemy i had so many things to laugh about- my phone, my epic sleep over with my super rad friends *bhavani* *yashvi* *cough cough* .. my stupid french diction my even stupider english grammar ...even the fact that i lost 2 kilos over the past 2 months is real funny to me

so here's what i think... sometimes when life throws you lemons ..be glad it wasn't herpes ;)

  I DIDN'T CHOOSE THE THUG LIFE , THE THUG LIFE CHOSE ME.

A Tout a l'heure! ciao!!

The Bro-Zone

Hey! hello and welcome to my world where I make fun happen ( in the best way possible!) So since we've all just celebrated Valentine's day yesterday I figured we'll just stick along the lines of something like that now shall we? xD So here's what I think. and this is just a personal stand-point mind you~ VALENTINE'S DAY IS HIGHLY OVERRATED  (and I'm sure most of you will agree with me)  I think it's also worth mentioning at this point that I am singularly the most SINGLE person one could ever be at the moment. but no worries. we're all going to die alone ..together. HUZZAH! Also, after years and years of intense observation and research I have come to conclude that most of us fall prey to the dreadful "Bro-zone" (also known as the female version of the friend "Friend-Zone") right around the time that Va l entine's day draws near. It has been speculated that women do not end up in the  friend zo

Dear Grownup's, Sincerely-Us.

Heyo!! Right off the bat, I just want to point out that I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings *cough* MOM *cough* adults-in-general *cough* This is a light-hearted rant and I'd greatly appreciate it if you weren't butt-hurt and take it all with a pinch of salt :) Now from feedback I've received over the past one year of this blog's existence, I've come to the conclusion that most of my audience falls under the "teenage" stage of life. Others happen to be sore losers like me. Juuuust kidding   xD No. But for real, a lot of people who read my blog posts are teens, tweens, soon-to-be-teens or even adults-who-never-grew-up-and-still-think-they're-teens ...  We're talking about the whole shing-a-ding of a spectrum, earthlings :0 And if you're anything like me, you're probably facing the same problems I do.  THE FIGHTS.  THE DRAMA.  THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS RESPONSIBILITIES.  THAT FEELING OF NOT BEING HEARD EN

How To Be Every Fiction Writer Ever.

Image
Hello Everybody! It's been almost a year and a half since I've started writing on this blog. I like to think of it as an interesting piece of my subconscious self. The part of me that does do all the thinking and calculating and emoting. Which is why you, as a reader, probably find half the stuff on here- complete and utter gibberish However, in order to grow both as a writer beyond the confines of this blog and a become a much more comprehensible human being, I figured it's time I pulled up my socks and tried to assimilate and emulate every fiction writer ever. Or at least pretend to be one. In my quest to be Fiction-Author-Extraordinaire, I stumbled upon the various techniques and must-do's by the who-ha's of the crime-fighting-myth-busting- heart-breaking world of great stories i.e, namely Stephen King, John Green, Jonathan Franzen and Kurt Vonnegut. So what does it really take to make a great story?  I've done a little research and distilled
