Going home, Pune trip and more

                Hola! Long time since I wrote anything, and here I am writing two posts. With so much happening, I have barely had time to breathe, least of all write a blog. Even today I just found time, because I am in a train, bound towards Kalyan, taking me away from Hyderabad for a deserved break from the mundane.                 I had to make an extremely difficult choice, one that I did not want to nor that agrees with my nature. But facing the truth is better than being under a delusion, only to be disappointed at the end. I cannot give keyboard exam this time. L (Sobbing inside) I am just too underprepared, and frankly, I have heavier things on my plate. The teacher thought 3 months would be enough, even I felt so. But it wasn’t meant to be. The exam comes too early for me, and I, despite wanting to, cannot practice and perfect the syllabus on time to p...

New year resolutions

Belated happy new year! It is the time of the year where people set goals and targets for the year. Most fall short by the first or second month. Even I do. But my last year's resolutions were actually so good, I accomplished what I set out for: learn 2 foreign languages, Italian and French. At a basic level, but yeah, enough to survive. And some other goals too, which I did achieve satisfactorily. So what next? I have some resolutions this year too! Let me share some: Get better at piano This is compulsory. No two ways about this. For the past few months, I have become a little distant from the piano. But not anymore. I already started learning a song, one that is usually on my lips! The joy I derive from playing the piano, even if for little time, is very immense. And I already feel better. There is something magical about learning music, and at any cost, I do not want to disconnect from it. Do I have a plan? Umm… no. I have a new piano on my mind, but that depen...

First blog post

Its turning out to be a wonderful week and I just had a fantastic day. So before I change my mind about doing something else, I am writing my first blog. So first things first. 15th October. My sister's birthday. Many many happy returns of the day to her on her b'day. Hope she has many more memorable birthdays in her life. She has her exams, so she was kinda busy. I'll take a party from her in November. Italian I am learning Italian as a foreign language on Duolingo. One of the best places to learn a language, better than Memrise anyway. I'm yet to start the BBC courses which are supposedly good. Duolingo says I'm 54% fluent in Italian, which sounds really cool. Maybe it is. I can form sentences which are used daily. In about 15 days or so, I will finish the Duolingo course. Then begins the BBC ones. Duolingo incidentally erased my 23 day streak, which is quite frustrating. I now start from a 1 day streak. Not that it matters. How much you speak, listen...
