Self-love


Hola my friend!

Today was a good day:) I had a fun time with my friends throughout. Despite the joy and laughter, today was motivational as well:) All thanks to David Albert sir's class!

Sir taught us Ralph Emerson's "Self-reliance". A beautiful line from it says, "To believe your own thoughts, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men - that is genius". The line simply says that a person is brilliant if he's not a conformist. All you have to do is, believe your heart! Believe yourself when all men doubt you! Be original rather than adhering to the traditions. Learn to speak with convictions cause opinions differ, but convictions don't.

Sir also taught us about the reward of our deeds. When your actions are good, it'll be a shadow that'll follow you and reward you the same. Similarly, if you do evil, it'll also follow you like a shadow and pursue you with more and more evil. Sir then read a very sensational line, "He dismissed without notice his thought, because it is his". This is a very true line that is apt to today's society. We tend to ignore our own uniqueness and speciality! A person can grow in life only when he gets rid of this I'll thought. 

"Envy is ignorance! Imitation is suicide!" This was my favourite line from the entire lecture. Such a direct call for originality, isn't it? All you have to do is, stay focused and let your true colours spread! Cause, only an ideal mind can be a devil's workshop. So, my friend, condier yourself better! Never underestimate yourself! You are a magician with a hidden charm:)

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...
