purr-fect friends; 2.


MAX II THE CAT_ _ _
This story is about a cat as well, this cat was called Max. it looked just like Max. so I named it Max  II.
This cat came two years after Max I was caught by a dog.
[which was in 2016].


One day, when I came home from school, my grandma took me to the veranda and showed me a really small, adorable cat. she said it came inside the house in the morning...
I took Max in my hands and it was a really friendly cat…  I was really happy, that now I had another cat.

I was a bit scared of it, because it had sharp claws, and it could jump and climb high places….

I was watching videos on the computer, when Max suddenly jumped on the chair that I was sitting on! I quickly got of the chair and ran inside the bedroom!

One day, max followed me into the bedroom, and it hid under bed for a long time!
Max was really naughty, and it really liked the computer chair!
I even found it sleeping on the chair once! it looked adorable when it was sleeping...
I made a tiny bed for max to sleep in with a stuffed zebra toy and a soft towel, but max did not sleep in it at all! It only took naps in the chair!
But it really liked the zebra toy! It was so cute seeing max with the zebra…
One day, I was shocked to see that max was sleeping in the bed I made for it!




About 2 or 3 weeks went by, I had a lot of fun with max.
But there was this one day, I would never forget...
On my mom and dad’s wedding anniversary, we went to my grandparents’ house. I found that max was not sleeping in the chair, or its bed, or anywhere in the veranda, I just thought that it was out in the garden, but it was getting dark outside, so I did not check in the garden.

After a while, my parents left, and I and Rupa stayed. That’s when my grandparents told me, that…….. MAX was run over by a vehicle the night earlier...

Again, it did not seem true. I was like okay, and I went inside.
The next day, I really started to miss max. I went to its bed and took the toy zebra with me and I cried for a long time

I still can’t get over the fact that max is no more, but sure we were PURR-FECT  friends…………………………..

This is how my day goes... I wake up, attend online classes, then chat with my cousin for a bit, then I write a blog, play a game with Rupa ... In the evening, I go roller skating 45 rounds in the terrace, as a workout...
I also make a schedule of my day in my notebook , and I try to stick with it.

Once in a week, I cook something, or make Dalgona coffee with my mom.

more than a moment in time_ _ _

families and friends_ _ _

This blog is about friends and family... well you get it by the title...
My family has four members, my mother, father, Ruby (my sis) and me. I also have a cousin- Sandhya [Minu is my other cousin, I wrote a blog about her.]
Sandy visits once in two years, and oh! Now she has a little baby brother. I, Sana and Sandy have lots of fun, and Sana and I will be counting down the days, if we know Sandhya is coming that year.
Me and Sana have been friends from the time we were toddlers, her house is next door to my grandparent’s house, so during summer break, I’m mostly hanging out at Sana’s place. we play shuttle cock; we had a water balloon fight two years ago...
We both love the band One direction [ I’m listening to their song right now.] ... we like the same song, and we have a lot in common. In school, during checking, if I forgot my I.D. card, she would remove hers too!
She’d have my back, and I’ll have hers:]
 Our other neighbour, who is like family to us [I'll only put down their initials. K, S and N].  N is about the same age of Rupa, and she’d say she’ll play a game with me, and instead she’d watch a movie with Ruby
Ruby and I fight. A LOT. Like every day! but we get along. Like once a week…...
I really like being at my grandparents’ house and my grandma is really good in making crafts, and she helps me making my school projects [she makes most of it.] and my grandfather really likes listening to music.
So, that was it!
P.S. I’ll write more about pets in my upcoming blogs!😜

A day with Minu..

Surprise party!




In Dec 2018, my aunt and uncle (with my cousin Minu) visited  India for their School reunion. They live in London. Minu’s birthday is on 28th Dec, this particular year it was the first time she is celebrating her birthday in India. So, I wanted to throw her a surprise party!
Only two of my friends said they could come. Since it was the holidays, I went to hang out at Sana’s house almost every day, we sang carols, we did gymnastics, we recorded videos. Then I told Sana Minu’s birthday was coming up, so we made paper chains, gathered party décor and got some balloons.
My parents came back from their short vacation on 28th morning and picked me and Minu from my grandparent’s house. I decorated the house. I and Minu had a lot of fun. first, we built a fort using cushions and then we made lots of videos in     slo-mo…then it turned out that none of my friends were coming. But one did.. The one who would never let me down, SANA!
With Sana included in the squad, we did lots more fun stuff, like epic pillow fights, and making videos ..
Then we had pizza, instead of cake! but it was good either ways…
In the evening, we all went to a hotel to celebrate Minu’s birthday [ again!!] [we had cake there…]
And we played some games. It was lots of fun..


         


Then we went clothes shopping, in Max.
Rupa was with Minu, so I and Sana were playing a game, it was to see who could find the most reversible sequins t-shirts.it was super fun..
Then Sana left, and Minu stayed at our house.it was like a sleepover! [It was the first sleepover for Minu] we had pillow fights, then Minu opened her presents, and I gave her my present, and she liked it! We also pulled a prank on Rupa while she was sleeping..
THEN….we finally went to sleep!
And that was my day with Minu!

DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS...

REACH FOR THE STARS!☆


This blog is about all of my dreams,goals,aspirations and how I found my true passion.
This is how it started...

When I was in kindergarten,my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up.The others in my class said they wanted to be a doctor,or a nurse ,or a pilot...and so..I really didn't know what to say, so I just said a doctor as well...
But then when I left kindergarten..My dad told me about scientists..I was really inspired.So I wanted to become a scientist..My dad told me I had to study 'science'to become a scientist, at that time,I did not know what science was..I was only in first grade!But then..when I learnt science in third grade..I really wanted to become a scientist...Then in fourth grade..I learnt about space ..and astronauts!
I really wanted to go to space..Science was my favorite subject..
In fifth grade..I watched the FIFA world cup..and somehow, after watching it..I became obsessed with football,I began learning some tricks,and I asked for a football,on my birthday! [now, I wish I could've gotten a book!] I would play football in my school games period,and I would teach my friend some tricks, and she was pretty good too! [ now she's in the school football team,and our school won second place, in a girls football tournament!!] 

Now, this year..before this COVID-19 pandemic,me and my four other friends were playing story building..and when we finished our story..It was an awesome horror story..But the writing was terrible!
 I told the others that we needed to work on our story.  I agreed to edit it..and..it turned out amazingly well!! One of my friends  is really good in drawing ..we also made a cover page! After a week or so..we showed the book/story to our coordinator,and she really liked it! The book is not published  yet! ..I mean its a really short story, but still it was a good start..Now we have written two horror stories.. We are working on our third story..See, this is how I found my true passion-WRITING..Authors/writers who inspire me include J.K. Rowling and Enid Blyton.. I wish to be one of the most well known writers of the world one day..and this blog is one step ahead to reach my goal!

           FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.!!☁

Purr-fect friends..

Max the cat..

This story is about the pet cat I had before Berry and Betsy.. it was adopted as well.
I don't really know how it came into the house, but it sure did become a big part of my life...
This happened about 2 or 3 years ago, so I forgot some bits, but  I'll write down everything I remember..

I'll start from the very beginning

One day,when Rupa and I were watching TV, a black cat came out from the cupboard,below the TV!
The same thing happened another day!As I said..I don't really remember much about Max, and I don't know how it came in my grandparent's house.[As me and Rupa are there most of the time..]
It just did! So..at first ,I was afraid of Max, because of the creepy looks it gave me..But it was very close with my grandma...[I have to admit..I was jealous of all the attention Max had been getting..]
And to my grandma,Max was like a baby..She held Max in her arms like a baby, gave milk to it..[I don't know if Max was a girl or a boy,we'll assume it's a boy..] Max was mean! I'll tell you why later..
whenever my grandma was playing games on the computer,Max would try to get her attention,so he would walk over the keyboard,blocking the computer..And yes , Max got what he wanted!
I started getting along with him,and I learnt to carry him..He would sleep in the newspaper bag,I have to admit,he was kinda cute..
I played ball with him, if I pushed a ball towards him,he would push it back to me,and he loves to hide in dark places . My grandma is a cat-whisperer,if she meows,Max meows back,its like they have their own language! I was so jealous!! I tried speaking to Max,he never replied,see Max was mean! and another incident,when I kept Max in my lap,he tried to bite me!at that moment,I was so scared!!
But now ,when I look back at this incident,its just a bunch of memories...
Then,I went on a trip to Bangalore with my family, I missed Max, but the trip was fun..
 Towards the end of the trip, we received news that my mom's paternal grandmother passed away[my great grandmother]So we left a day early.We went home.Me and Rupa kept to ourselves and didn't disturb others.But at the back of my mind,  I was thinking about Max..As there were a lot of people, I thought Max was hiding..But a bit later,I found out that...

Max had been caught by a dog..I know this sounds silly,but at that time,at that moment,..I was having mixed emotions..I was feeling sad,but at that time, I was like 'ok' .But then,a couple days later,my emotions started kicking in..I missed Max a lot..But..
GOOD TIMES COME AND GO..
And you have to accept it.....

      p.s. I don't have a picture of Max on this device......

ONCE IN A LIFETIME...

TRIBUTE TO BERRY AND BETSY 

[MY ADOPTED DOGS]

Me and older sister, had been asking for a puppy for almost 5 years now,but my parents never said yes. We did everything thing you could think of! Wrote letters, did extra chores, proved to be responsible....
But no, they would never listen to us. They kept saying it was a BIG responsibility, (yesh I know😂) 
 One day, after I came home from school, I saw 2 CUTE! dogs, that were friendly-looking. I decided to feed them😛
for the next few weeks , they kept coming around the neighborhood ,for treats.In a month or so, I began to pet them too!
We became friends..a bit later I named them''BERRY AND BETSY''. "The dog catchers" (people from the blue cross) came around once in two months or so, I wanted to tie a leash to the dogs,but I didn't have a leash, so I got some satin ribbons and my dad tied the ribbons around Berry and Betsy.     The next morning when I saw them, they did not have the ribbons around their neck! So we tied another ribbon but they kept coming back without it!
I thought it was uncomfortable for the dogs..and there was nothing I could do about it..     

Every evening I came home from school, they would chase after me and my mom.
My mom and sis Were scared of them..my sister did not like Berry and Betsy! Seriously, i was like "What is not to love these doggos?😍)

Berry and Betsy were not only my dogs,but pets to the whole neighborhood! (I didn't like sharing them though. I wanted them to be my pets only. I know that sounds... not so nice 😂)  
I was really close to Betsy..I even trained her to give me a handshake! 
Whenever I fed them..Berry would always eat Betsy's biscuits! Berry was a good girl too, but she's not that loyal to me. There's this person who lives a few minutes away from me, and whenever Berry sees him, she runs to meet "the person" (who shall remain unnamed) I was often upset with Berry.
Betsy had blunt ears, and a white ring of fur on her neck..
Berry had sharp ears, with a white star on her neck..

And just like that, they became a huge part of my life..we played together..we fought [Yes, I had fights with the dogs..😂]
And my sis was getting along with the dogs too!.

Grab a box of tissues..this next part is really sad....

One morning..i waved to Berry and Betsy ..and left for school...
It was that evening, that my worst nightmare came true.
The street was empty.No one came chasing me, or to give me a handshake..
I waited..but they did not come.
That's when a neighbour came to me and told me:
"The dog catchers came" .I dropped my bags and searched for Berry and Betsy..They were always here! But not now.😥
I did not want it to be true..But....
IT WAS!!
I tried to hold my tears..I ran into the house..my sis tried to comfort me...
I burst into the bedroom and  had a really good cry..
The only dogs I had for about..3 months, were now..GONE...
I asked everyone what would have happened to the dogs..they said they would come back in a week or 2.......
I waited ... for a week.. a month.. two months...But they never came back ..
It's been four months now .. and I'm still waiting....

P.S. it's been a year now. Almost. And they're not coming back. 💔

                                                             THE END

The day I was born...

AUGUST 14, 2008



THIS IS THE STORY,I NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING......

From the morning,mommy was having discomfort and pain in her stomach and her back .she thought "ten more days to deliver the little one!".she didn't want to disturb her doctor,as she had a long day at the hospital.The same evening ,my aunt [ D] and my cousin[sandy] were leaving for home.
my grandparents went to send them off.
That's when my mommy felt pain and she went to the hospital.
The doctor told mommy that she will be delivering the baby in an hour or two...
"THE DOCTOR" is actually mommy's neighbor.. and she's my best friend's mother..I call her (I'll only put down the initials) "P.A"
It was raining heavily.my grandparents[ammama and thatha] were informed of my imminent birth soon .P.A , was concerned that I might be a 'big baby'.So she called another Dr to assist her. Mommy was a little scared,as my grandparents were not with her, by the time they arrived at the nursing home,baby Evin was born.
My mom  remembers ,the first time she saw me,she says that I looked like a bear[not really],with thick ,black hair..

But, the story gets interesting, after I was born. 
It was that night P,A found out that she is going to have a baby too!That's how that night became even more special and I would have to wait just 8 more months to meet my best friend ''SANA''...
