Write about someone who inspires you.

 Inspiration from people has always been a driving force for me in my life and it’s not just a single person but it has evolved over the years with different people creating a motivating atmosphere to achieve things that I wanted to do in life. 

It’s actually a tough call to put out a single person’s name and honestly, with the memory that I have, I can’t really recollect a single person’s influence that had a huge impact in my life. 

I’ve learnt a lot from my maternal uncle Late. Mr Thottikat Aravindan Suresh Kumar, who has given a lot to all of us in our family, everyone loved him and he loved everyone, he was the go-to person for every need of mine during the childhood and I want to be that kind of a person who selflessly worked for the others despite everything that he went through. He’s by far the most influential person among my closest circle.

He started working right from a young age to support his family and he had to do well in life for his family to get his younger sisters married to well off families and he succeeded quite well in that regard. He was very jovial, understanding and a person with a very good vision about life.

I can quite surely proclaim that I and my cousins, whoever is doing a better of job in life owe our lives to him, his presence in our lives was that crucial and I’m sure each one of us would definitely say the same without a tiny speck of doubt in their minds. 

Also, I feel that if my Ammaman was watching over us all right now, he would be super proud of what we’ve all become and I guess that’s the least we can do to repay for every single thing that we got because of him.

We Miss You Ammaame!

What are your top three pet peeves?

 Third day… wow…so yeah…

Pet Peeve(noun)

INFORMAL plural noun: pet peeves

1. something that a particular person finds especially annoying

This is what Google tells me and I started to dig deep into myself about what annoys me the most and I only have one answer right now, and i.e., People.

Three things about people is such a simple answer because I might even have more than 5 things that annoy me timelessly, but let’s stick to the top 3.

• First and foremost thing that annoys me is the audacity of people to lie to people or being dishonest about things that might affect either of the two individuals. Lying for petty reasons to lying about feelings and emotions, it is a huge sham that we’ve gotten ourselves into. People might have thousands of reasons to lie but it definitely hurts when people are not valuing your honesty and there’s nothing much I can actually do about it.
• The second thing is the hypocrisy among people and their double standards. That thing when done by you, might have felt right to you but when the same has been done by some other person it is ridiculous? How can you even think like that whatever be it the point of discussion?
• The third pet peeve is more a global issue that we don’t care enough about the people we live along with or the planet we’re living in and this category of shameless people includes me too (not that the other two reasons don’t include me but I don’t associate myself doing those things as much as I’ve seen people doing it). I think we should start thinking more about how we can collectively make our ecosystem a sustainable place than to fight for whatever little that is left of it like how we do for all the available and depleting natural resources.

Now I’m being a hypocrite by talking about these things and when in my life I haven’t done anything that might help the world become a better place. But I’ve realized my mistakes and I hope I learn from them at the earliest and make an effort. Retrospection is important and I think I’ve reached that level and there’s a lot to move forward in life from here.

Until tomorrow, Arrivederci!

Write something that someone told you about yourself that you never forget.

 Here we are on the second day. I’ve tried to be good with people and I think I was decent with almost all of them for the most part of my conversations with people and my time with them. I’ve been a bit on and off in recent times but still, I strive to be good and courteous with everyone at all times and sometimes I go out of bounds and pains me.

I don’t actually remember anything particularly said about me by people about me or my behaviour but I have a list of probable things that people have told me and I can recollect them vaguely. 

Maybe I could just find the starred texts on my WhatsApp and post them here… haha…

“I’m sorry for hurting u in the past! I’m pretty sure I’ve never been so easily close and open to anyone else anytime except Axx. you surely have been a great friend to me❤“

“I don’t know how long we’ll talk like this as you say always I’m very happy by spending time with you“

“you’re the person I hate the most“

“Ur one of the person that I can talk anything after Mxxxx🤗🤗“

“For always being there for me…  And I know u r that one of those persons in my life whom I wish to be with forever“

“Y because u  r perfect partner to discuss anything dude“

All these wonderful things when I just look back into those conversations give me the assurance that I am a great person to a few and they still treasure me in the same way since the day we left off the last time. People have always been kind to me for the most part of my life and I would like to further these wonderful friendships with everyone that I’m connected with.

Until tomorrow, Arrividerci!

List 10 things that make you really happy.

So here we go with my list of 10 things that make me really happy. I’m not sure if I have 10 things already lined up in my head but yeah let’s start with this:

1. Writing

The thing I want to be associated with in life. I somehow found this affinity towards stories and writing when I got into undergrad and since then I never wanted to stop even though I write quite leisurely and very occasionally, I never feel like I’m out of it or never learning it.

2. Family & Friends

People in my life have always been a great help to me, be it either as a great support system, someone to look up to, someone to learn, someone to talk to, someone to spend time and enjoy it. My family and my set of friends that really knew and understood me have always been the people that I am most grateful to in life.

3. Cricket

My childhood passion and obviously it still holds a great place in my heart. I still want to be a cricketer and try to be a better player than what I was before. I want to make a name for myself as a notable cricketer if I can get a chance. I think I have a decent chance here in Rome, playing for my club I think I can take a few strides and get better and try out different options with my cricket.

4. Movies/TV shows

Anything with stories will always have my attention. I love to read, consume, watch and hear stories of all kinds from all kinds of people. The visual medium of story-telling captures my heart and the nuances that can be brought into a story through camera angles, editing, writing and visual metaphors is definitely one to fall for and I will keep writing so well that someday my works could get translated on to a visual story.

5. Music

My companion at all times. Be it English, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu or Tamil and sometimes Kannada, Bengali and Punjabi. Music has always been a great mood influencer and my newfound love for classical instrumental music and nature sounds has only enhanced my love for music even the more. Thanks to Spotify, my mind is in a better place than before.

6. Travelling

One thing that I would love to do at all times, provided if I have a few extra bucks in the pocket is Travelling. It can be soothing, experimental, peaceful and an escape from the sad reality that my life is. But there is always so much to learn in life and I think travelling has the power to teach innumerable things to a person and the whole experience of documenting is a great gift.

7. Cooking

One of my underrated traits and something that I wish that I had given more importance or more efforts but unfortunately my sheer liking to laziness in my life has gone far beyond my love for cooking and making efforts to do things. But still, someday cooking will be a more frequent and a happy activity for me.

8. Conversations

My day-to-day life nowadays is filled with conversations be it with people I know or the people I started getting to know or the people I want to know. Even though the number of conversations that I have nowadays is a lot less than what it used to be, I still value my little times with people very much and try to make it engaging and helping the both or the whole group. I will never be bored with conversations and some of the times I get high even when I don’t drink.

9. Cuddling

The only thing that I don’t get to do as often as I would love myself to do and there is nothing I can complain about here. My relations with people nowadays haven’t been good and I don’t engage with new people as much as I want myself to, but that doesn’t work as well. So, cuddling is out of the question at least for another few months or so.

10. Doing nothing

My life right now is this. I’m enjoying my life doing nothing about everything that’s important in life. I’m not worried about my studies, my future, my family, my love life, my travelling, my writing, my cooking and my cricket. After discovering that doing nothing is actually helping my mental peace, I’ve resorted to it more often than not coz I don’t really know what else to do, when to do and how to get about things in life when it gets this tough in life.

I think I’ve made a great attempt for the first day and I don’t want to be this long or maybe I will exceed this length of a post but I hope to continue this game for the next 30 days. 

Until tomorrow, Arrivederci!
