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...

A Quick Update...

Hello world! (Adopting a new catch-phrase henceforth. It's 2018. Don't ask.) A new year is upon us! And it seems to have renewed my desire to blog again. I'm not going to apologize for my lackluster track record of blogging these past few months because the IB has consumed me whole (and if you don't know what the IB stands for, consider yourself generously bestowed with time, friends and a will to live.) Here's what I'm catching you up on- life. Well, life as it stands now. Things that tickle my funny bone and music that makes me believe I'm hipster. So life wise, I'm in my final quarter of my high school experience. The finish line is close, but spirits are dwindling and hanging on by a thread. Utilitarianism is a quandary, and the pursuit of Differential equations seem futile. But other than that life is dandy. I've been accepted to a university in Japan, halfway across the globe from where I am now, in a small town in the southern island ...

That Time The World Didn't Have A BoyBand

Dear everyone, Hello! Hi. Konichiwa! and welcome to this. The sanctum-sanctorium of us- the jobless,highly intelligent, young adults. (most of whom have been coerced through a link online to read stuff you didn't want to -_-) Ok then! and on that note .....LETS BEGIN SHALL WE? I am terribly sorry for having taken this impromptu Hiatus mid month. I didn't mean to be lazy (OF COURSE I WAS) but I was moving and packing and listening to awesome music and I FORGOT OK?! Geez. Speaking of hiatuses About a week ago, pop phenomenon One Direction (or whatever's left of it *insert devastated fangirl emoji*) celebrated 6 years of inception from back in 2010   6 WHOLE BLOOMIN' YEARS I'll tell you what. I Feel old. and even though I no longer enjoy their music like I did as a wee 9th grader, (Ok. I was naive. and slightly ditzy -_-) I feel obliged as an Ex-EX-EXXXXX-Directioner to highlight the things we did before One Direction. Of course our life hasn...
