Four months into my first job – Here’s how my experience has been so far

The month following my graduation, I joined as a teacher at a private school in my hometown, and thus begins the tale of my first job experience. Technically, it’s been longer than four months, considering I joined on the 1st of July, but I was on leave for 21 days in August (for reasons I’ll…
Whom to blame, you’re the one who understands

I took a personality test online. It was years ago — two or four, I don’t really remember. I lost track of time a while ago. Back then, it used to scare me how months seemed to be getting shorter — a huge disappointment if today wasn’t more productive than yesterday. It’s different now though.…
Coming home

After all, I guess, they were right when they said you always find your way back home. It’s not like this was my first time logging out of WordPress and not looking back for months. Every time I took a break from blogging and came back, this platform had changed somehow. And I’m not going…
What hosting a game show taught me // Lessons learned in college

I never really fully understood what getting out of your comfort zone meant until last December. Challenging yourself can do wonders for your self-esteem and confidence. It’s quite annoying to do something when someone adds “I dare you to…” in front of your task, but when it’s your inner-self presenting the dare to you, it…
Would you be there for me?

Hey there! This is Poorwa. There are so many things I want to write about and share with y’all but I just don’t know where to start. A lot has been going on but also at the same time, I feel stuck. The last semester of my bachelor’s programme starts today and on the outside,…
the shadows know we don’t belong

We exchanged love letters disguised as poetic metaphors. Altered every schedule to say hello before somebody else does, changed my route back home just to see you turn around – just for once. ………………………………………………………………………………..In another life, would be I someone prettier who doesn’t wait for another chance. You would take me home when my feet…

Family Trip Vibes

[Note: This post was written on Jan 17] Last weekend I went on a trip with my family to a nearby hill station. Actually, the plan was to go the first Sunday of the month, but my cousin who was most excited about the trip, along with my sister, fell sick and we had to…
Books I read in 2024 | Did I achieve my reading goals?

I might be a little late to this since most people already posted their annual bookish wrap-ups around January 1st (and why does it feels like it’s already been a month since then?), but as someone once said “better late than never”, here I am! Well, to be honest, after all the reading I did…
what was lost, what was found

When you realize you can never go back to being the person you were twelve months ago – yes, 2024 was kind of that year for me. The highs felt so surreal that more than enjoying the moment I feared how none of it will last forever, and the downs were so low that I…
