I have a blessed holiday today and between piles of homework, I have been aching to write. To talk to all of you out there. This is not the first time the inspiration has struck in the past few days, but having nothing new to post, I tried to make do by writing in my journal after ages. But some thoughts just need to be shared out loud.
Studies have been occupying most of my time. When I’m not studying, I’m stressing out about how much I have to do and what if I don’t do good? That’s me for you. Our Sir was demonstrating once that how we need to manage our time for the next few months. I finally found my voice and said ‘I get stressed about a low grade and then I can’t concentrate anymore.’ His answer was ‘Tension only destroys you. I’m running a college campus, my own institution and the entry test classes right now. I have been to inspect two campuses today and yet am standing in front of you. You just need determination.’
I reflected on his words on the way back to home. I asked myself that I am only responsible for my own studies. And yet I am not able to cope under the stress. I have no job except maybe a blog which is more like a blessing to me. I just need to be stronger. I can do anything I put my mind to. I don’t have to be the best but just enough so that I won’t have any regrets later on.
Secondly, I want to take my time to thank all of you who left comments on my last post. I was in a state of depression then and I might have written things I’m not generally comfortable with sharing. But I don’t regret in one bit. My blog is going to be about me, the good and the bad.
Having nothing new to post. I’m going to link to a few recipes I have wanted to try for ages. I hope you guys like them too.
- Pasta with Cream Sauce.
- Strawberry Pink Milk.
- Chocolate Fudge Brownies.
- Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich.
- Channa Chaat (Indo-Pak Street Food).
Have a blessed Friday everyone!

"I don’t have to be the best but just enough so that I won’t have any regrets later on." I loved this sentence It's Just soo Me these days i become so much like the way you described yourself. I Hope that you get over all of those emotions right now ! :)
ReplyDeleteSalam.
Sometimes we find enlightenment in the most random of places. I'm sure you never thought that your professor's response would resonate with you so much, and it's wonderful that it has.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your studies; inshAllah you will do wonderful! :)
