  • 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.

  • I Mistakenly carried a crochet Kit in my check-on bag at the airport

    Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
    View all responses

    Hmm… Break a law? What exactly is the LAW we are referring to here? Are we talking about judicial law, school rules, or perhaps Mom’s law? Hehe… if it’s Mom’s law, then I have unintentionally or intentionally broken many of them. But the repercussions were not really pleasant. Well, you know how typical Indian moms are, right? Most of the time, it was not responding to her calls abruptly, especially in the early morning hours because my sleep always won over my sanity. And for that, I received a load of lectures that made my ears bleed. Haha, jokes apart, I have so far not gone against the law for any reasons. I am a law-abiding citizen, you know. Oh oh… wait, recently I carried a crochet kit in my carry-on bag, and it was confiscated by airport security. It was purely unintentional. I misjudged the criteria; I thought I had it in my checked baggage. So that was unintentional, and I meant no harm.

  • 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.
