  • Why do I fail in budgeting?

    Write about your approach to budgeting.
    View all responses

    To be frank, budgeting is something I have never been able to get right so far. Despite my continuous efforts to establish a specific budget for my monthly expenses, I find myself consistently falling short of the vision I have set for myself. Many times, I end up overspending, and this is not solely due to my personal expenses but also because of family-related expenditures. No matter how hard I try, I have never managed to gain control over this aspect.

    Currently, my approach to budgeting is flexible, as I tend to utilize the available funds without prior budgeting. I am actively seeking ways to instill a proper budgeting habit so that I can achieve better financial management.

  • What is a patriotic person according to me!

    Daily writing prompt
    Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
    View all responses

    Being patriotic is genuinely a very challenging personality trait one can ever have. It demands loyalty, devotion, love, and a strong sense of commitment. Personally, I don’t consider myself a particularly patriotic person. I see myself as a common netizen who hopes for the best in all aspects. I don’t appreciate inciting hate or enmity on any grounds. I am a firm believer in the principle of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

    I pray and hope that people, irrespective of their background, come to an understanding of love and refrain from trying to outsmart or overpower each other based on factors like identity, religion, caste, gender, or anything that promotes division.

    Disclaimer: This is solely my personal view. It does not intend to cause harm to any individual or group on any grounds.

  • Why “Weaving the colors” would be my biography title?

    Daily writing prompt
    If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?
    View all responses

    If there were to be a biography about me, I would title it “Weaving the Colors.” I hold the belief that life is akin to tapestries of experiences, resembling various colors. As I absorb both the positive and negative aspects of these experiences and integrate them into my life, I see myself weaving different strands of colors to create a beautiful and marvelous attire. This process is a personal endeavor, and I take pride in the fact that it’s not a borrowed design but one that I’ve earned. So, “Weaving the Colors” would be a fitting title, as I continue to collect and intertwine the diverse strands to complete the unique pattern of my life.

    PS: It’s actually coming very soon.

  • The first things that I do is say praises to Jesus for the good things.

    Daily writing prompt
    You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
    View all responses

    Whenever I receive good news, the first thing I do is shout out praises to the Lord and express a heartfelt “Thank you, Jesus.” Following that, I immediately call my mom to share the news with her. I find immense joy in sharing such moments with my parents and siblings. As for others, I tend to share the news more gradually, perhaps later in the week.

    I don’t have grand plans such as hosting celebrations, treating myself to good food, or indulging in pampering sessions. I prefer to keep the joy within myself and my family before gradually sharing it with others. I’m not inclined to proclaim my achievements or share details with everyone.

  • My all time favorite candy

    Daily writing prompt
    What’s your favorite candy?
    View all responses

    To be blunt, I rarely have favorites of anything as my preferences change over time. When it comes to candy, I don’t have a specific favorite as I’m not particularly fond of it. However, if I recall correctly, during my childhood, I used to like the orange candy that cost 50 paise per piece. I enjoyed the smell and flavors, and it was shaped like a piece of an orange. That was one of my long-time favorite candies.

    As for now, I’m not fond of any specific candy. If I were to pick one for myself, I might choose Imli or lemon-flavored candy.
