Blurred!

Hola my friend!

Everyone has their own insecurities and so do I. It may sound peculiar, but each and every morning I open my eyes I dearly wish I have clear vision. Hope you've got my point! Yes, I wear glasses since my third grade. And I can't survive a single day without them:(

My eyesight is quite interesting. I can't see stuff beyond 15 cm with my naked eye :( And I think that proves why I can't survive a single day without my spectacles... because I can't see. I lose all my confidence without them. There are times when I've been made fun of because of my vision. I laugh it out but who knew it'll create scars deep down in my heart. I always worry seeing people around my age having beautiful eyes with perfect vision but mine is caged under glass. And I think it's the right time to voice my worries out.

Although these rounded frames have turned into a nightmare, I've learned to appreciate them over the years. I've accepted these glasses as a part of my own. I cherish that I'm able to view the beautiful world around me through them. The scars have healed and I'm happy with the person I am. It ain't wrong to be different, right:) I have gained a strong hope that I'll be able to see clearly one fine day. 

Blurred figures
Square and round 
Grow bigger and bigger
With approaching sound.

Eyes open wide
But I can't see
The stranger's pride
Upon being free.

Desperation sank deep into
My innocent soul,
Shame and silence blew
The inner blaze out.

The rounded frame
Seized my sight 
What a cruel game!
To strip away my might.

Days pass by,
Years run afar,
Nothing much changed,
How I wish
That it wasn't me!

So, my friend, all I have for you is one single advice. Never ever make fun of a person for their vision, you have no idea of how much you hurt them deep within. Respect them because they pay to see you:) And, to my friend who wears a beautiful spec like me, learn to cherish the difference you have! Everything has a solution!

Happy reading! Adios:)

Hola my friend! 2025 started just now and it's already the last day of the first month. This month has taught me a lot and has also trained me in divine faith.  My main takeaway from January 2025 is self-confidence. At many insticts i doubt my own capabilities. But, this month has led me to muster up courage and try on new challenges. I got myself involved in various college and Church events and explored a new environment all together. In addition, I also used the platform to volunteer for various programs which has led me become a patient observer. It has paved a pathway for me to learn new things.  Despite focusing on academics alone, I trained myself with the unwavering support of God to face the new obstacles in life. It was definitely chaotic with too much going in my head at the same time, but I was able to organize stuff and manage time decently.  January has built self love in me and has also strengthed me to fly high in altitude over the months to co...

Hola my friend! Today was a memorable day loaded with wonderful interactions. I went to attend a book release ceremony in Nungambakkam. The journey was splendid. Let me share a glimpse of my lovely travel. First off, by coincidence, I met my dear friend in the railway station. Following that me and my friends - Lekha and Catherine started off by Train to Nungambakkam.  The train journey was pleasant and melancholic with the tinge of raw mango and pineapple. We then headed off to Park Hotel where Sabari anna joined us. The book release ceremony started off with a delicious buffee. After filling up with delicacies, the ceremony began and the book "Hidden Agendas" authored by Ajit and Anil was released. Before the ceremony and even after it, we, the small bunch that headed off from MCC, met a varied mass of great people. There were great writers, publishers, directors and actors amidst us. It was a privilege to meet and interact with each one of them. In addition, we...

Hola my friend!  Thoughts are intricate openings of the heart. And here I am, Andrea, sharing my lil thoughts to thrive! Life is filled with ups and downs right? There are days when you are overflowing with anxious thoughts and days when you have none to worry about. And today was a brain wracking day for me, when I started worrying about what life had for me. But ain't each problem got a solution in itself. The solution lies right in front of you and may only be a simple momentary feel that gives you relief. My anxious thoughts had a simple solution - SMILE and here is a poem sharing my experience with you.  Along the street I stroll Lost in my uneasy soul, Staring at the bright blue sky, Filled with gloom to my eye. Thoughts worth millions unfold As I waggle without a hold, Stumbling over the rock of pain, That life has taught me to gain. All at once, the thoughts depart Altered by blossoms of the heart, Resulting from a greeting awhile Bubbling with a heartwarming smile. Th...
