Lazy Girl’s Guide to Clearing Exams (Yes, It’s Possible!)"

 Today’s a Big Day — I Cleared My First Prof Uni Exams!


Today, the results of my First Professional University Exams came out... and guess what? I CLEARED all the subjects!

I’m feeling so proud of myself — genuinely happy in a way I’ve only felt during a few big moments: when I passed my 10th and 12th grades, when I cleared NEET, and when I got admission into my college.

As an overthinking, ultra-sensitive girl, moments like these hit differently. Seriously, it’s pure serotonin!


Looking back, I realize one thing: striving for perfection and my fear of failure literally dragged me (sometimes kicking and screaming) toward achieving my goals.

However, there’s one thing I need to fix — expecting too much from myself. Yes, it pushes me forward, but sometimes, it also drains me faster than my phone battery at 2% with no charger around.


Here’s a lesson life (and multiple mental breakdowns) taught me:

You don’t need to stress yourself out to achieve your goals.

Stay calm. Be systematic. Trust the process.

Nothing — seriously, nothing — is impossible.


And listen, I’m not some genius student who understands everything in one go. Nope. If I learn, I get it. That’s it.

So, if you’re like me — an "ordinary" student who feels like they need to put in triple the effort just to survive academics — push harder.

Not everyone has the same IQ level or memory grasping power, and that’s perfectly okay.


If you need to revise something 100 times, do it 100 times.

Prioritize your goals over distractions. Period.


And speaking of distractions… hello, my old frenemies: laziness and procrastination!

I'm that student who can procrastinate doing procrastination itself. And believe me, it makes life 10x harder.

It’s tough — I know — but it’s better not to procrastinate. Your future self will send you a box of chocolates as a thank you gift (well, at least mentally).


There will always be things — and sometimes even people — trying to pull you backward.

Toss all those distractions into the trash bin. (Don’t forget to empty the bin too.)


Because trust me, once you taste the happiness that comes from your own hard work and success — there’s no going back.

You’ll be addicted to growth, to pride, to your own journey.


Work hard, stay consistent, and celebrate every tiny win.

You’re doing better than you think.

Chickenpox Diaries: 19 Days of Forced “Me-Time”

  Everything happens for a reason, right? Well, life just gave me 19 days of chickenpox leave, and trust me—it was not the kind of vacation anyone would ask for. The first 4 days? Literal hell. Couldn’t even sip water without wincing, throat burning like fire, body screaming with pain. To top it off—full-time isolation in my room. 24×7. I used to check the mirror every day, hoping the blisters would heal fast. But honestly, though I always had clear skin, I didn’t even get sad about the “connect-the-dots puzzle” on my face. My only prayer was to get rid of the throat pain and weakness. And don’t even get me started on the bland food—life had lost all taste. From day 5, things started getting better—pain faded, blisters began drying, and I could finally feel human again. But while I was fighting pox in my room, my class was living in a mini drama series. I left on a Monday after the 2nd period (two blisters + fever + body ache gave me away), and the very next day panic spread becaus...

A Weed and a Whole Lotta Wisdom

 We’ve always heard it—“there’s something to learn from everything in the universe.” And guess what? Even a weed teaches us something. Think about it. A weed? Grows on its own. Needs no fertilizers, no pesticides. Stands tall, strong, independent. A self-made lady, honestly. And what do we humans do? Uproot her. Why? Because we think she’s "useless." She’s a weed—not a flower in anyone’s vase, but a wild one who never asked for space and still found a way to grow :) But who really is? Let’s take a moment to salute her—Miss Weed. She’s not dependent. She doesn’t care for your validation. She thrives anyway. Now contrast that with us humans. We build bonds, trust people, and end up accidentally depending on them. It’s a social phenomenon, right? But when the thread of trust breaks—it’s broken. Even if we tie it back, that scar? It stays. A constant reminder of the snap. And that’s where our inner trauma kicks in. The fear of being bandaged again holds us back from trusting anyo...

“This is your sign: being you is more than enough.”

 If you were the quiet kid growing up—the one who avoided group photos, spoke in whispers, and got asked “Why are you always so serious?”—then congratulations, we might be long-lost twins. See, being an introvert isn’t just a personality type. It’s a full-time job. Especially when society hands out badges of honor to the loudest kid in class and treats silence like a social disease. As a kid, people were always like, "Why doesn't she smile more?"—and clearly, none of them had ever heard of a resting face.I wasn’t shy—I was selectively social. Being decent in academics? Great. But if you lack social skills? Life becomes a level-99 difficulty mode. To make it worse, childhood is that beautiful time when people think mocking kids is a form of love. They’d point out everything: my teeth, my weight, my silence. As if I was a walking review page. “Can’t smile properly.” “Too quiet.” “Looks sad even while eating snacks.” Bro, I was just existing. Honestly, for some adults, teasi...
