  • Why do I fail in budgeting?

    Daily writing prompt
    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.

    The most ideal day, unfortunately, remains a privilege I have yet to experience. Nevertheless, I envision my ideal day as one filled with laughter, good food, and the presence of my loved ones, enjoying each other’s company. It’s a day where we embark on travels to new places, away from the distractions of social media, fully immersed in the joy of our shared moments.

    In this ideal day, love and joy prevail, making every moment spent together special. It’s a day where we share stories and create memories, appreciating the unfolding tapestry of life. This, in my vision, would truly be the best day of my life.

    Life is a lesson that I can learn each day. I am glad to learn from each passing moment and become wiser every day. Life, for me, has had many ups and downs, with toils and sorrows pushing me to the brink of giving up. I do not know how I can get through these, but by the grace of God and His mighty benevolence, I am holding on and thriving in His presence. It’s neither shallow nor deep; I am blessed to be surrounded by good people wherever I go.

  • DELL gave me the first impression into computer world.

    Daily writing prompt
    Write about your first computer.
    View all responses

    The first computer I ever received was in the year 2015. It was a DELL, a generous gift from my sponsor who provided it from his old collection. I acquired it for my studies, particularly for report writing and other essential course-related work, as I pursued BSW.

    Before that, I had not attended any computer coaching, and my experience with computers was limited to sporadic classes during my school days. I had basic knowledge, knowing how to switch on the computer and do some basic Photoshop as per our school curriculum. Nevertheless, I was extremely excited about having my own computer and delved into the world of computing on my own.

    I must admit that I faced challenges in the initial phase, particularly with typing. However, I overcame this hurdle after one of my teachers recommended playing typing games to enhance my speed. Gradually, my typing skills improved, and my enthusiasm to learn and explore computers allowed me to quickly grasp various programs. Although I am not as proficient as professionals, I can manage fairly well.

  • Scared to take Financial risk

    Bloganuary writing prompt
    What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
    View all responses

    One thing that truly terrifies me is taking financial risks. Unfortunately, I seem to have a streak of bad luck in this area, often losing money without being able to recover. Despite repeated attempts, my efforts have consistently failed. It’s possible that I haven’t found the correct approach, or perhaps I’ve been foolish enough to fall into the trap of unreliable schemes.

    Nevertheless, if I ever summon the courage to invest with a prudent approach, it would be a monumental victory for me. Overcoming this fear is a personal challenge I’ve been working on. I believe acquiring sufficient financial knowledge and understanding the right approach are key steps in conquering this fear. Through education and learning, I aim to tackle financial risks wisely and make informed investments for a more secure financial future.

  • Who I am is more important than judgement from my appearance

    Maturing swiftly, seemingly unaware of the years passing by, I find myself blessed with yet another year. In my younger years, I held the belief that by my current age, I would have achieved complete independence. However, I now realize this was mere wishful thinking, as my plans were formulated without actively involving God in my prayers and aspirations. I was confident that I could contend with time and attain full independence, allowing my parents to enjoy their lives without concerns.

    Reality has struck hard; instead of bringing stress relief, I find myself weighed down by more worries. My plans and dreams have been inconsistent, often wavering from one idea to another. The pressure from my family adds to the uncertainty, making it challenging to hold onto a clear path. I am currently in pursuit of a job that offers better compensation, working tirelessly with the ultimate goal of reducing the pressure.

    My primary objective is to work diligently, earning more, with the bottom line being a desire for respect from my colleagues. I yearn for them to acknowledge and appreciate me for who I am, rather than forming judgments based on appearances.
