Dissatisfied, satisfied.

 (AI generated image)  Exams are always complicated and funny at times. You gain and lose confidence simultaneously and you seem brave but run with fear together. You get ready well but have to sweat before and after getting a question paper. Even our name will make us a bit nervous because we have to sign correctly without committing any errors and to fill the roll numbers correctly for we neither will be given another sheet nor allowed to strike because in the beginning of the paper a strike doesn't look good. The level of anxiety can be sensed. A hot weather outside will have a shivering student sitting inside and in case it's an exam during cold weather, can see sweating a lot  and it's because of fear.   Exams are the perfect place to say 'expect the unexpected and experience the unprepared'. I, personally started with the self confidence of writing whatever I could in the paper but the question paper given to me was on different take. It's not like I was n...

Exam mode on 🖊️ 📚

 The final test is around and things are to be scheduled even more strictly. Only study, study and study is what we will think but preparations don't work like the way we planned.  Exams are just a speed breaker for a running car to slow , pause , rise and start moving. It's just to test our learnings and an opportunity to check how far we have understood things. I have already said this and the upcoming is the final exam for me with a whole bunch of portions and our six months classes, listenings , notes and preparations are going to be tested along with internal scores into consideration.  So it is important for us to stay focused and not be pressured. Proper plan, with a healthy meal, alarmed sleep, a little pause to our time passes and hobbies and revising our notes will help us to face the exam. I know IPL matches are not yet done and it will be difficult for us to concentrate on both and more difficult if it is to sacrifice one of them. A little break in between our...

From fear to Fun: conversation with a Professor.

Image
 It's actually very interesting to talk to a professor , like having a relaxed conversation regarding guidance and career development. Sometimes we don't take that initiative. Is it because of respect or because of fear? Talking to professor is meant like not respecting them. In fact, speaking to them without any hesitation is the actual respect and trust we show that we are having on them. Therefore it is out of fear we fail to take that step.  I, personally, have a fear in approaching any teacher even for doubts. I don't know whether it is because of fear on the teacher or the fear on myself that what if I go with some insensible question or doubt. This is actually a fault to be honest. My professors often says this " you have to actually keep posting questions or doubts to the teacher because it is the job of a teacher to clarify or share the knowledge with the student". Teachers are actually like guiding lamps. They show us pathways. Having a conversation wit...

A walk through temple bells

Image
One of my wishes which was my long time one, came true. Before that, Happy Tamil New year to all! The official Tamil month cycle starts its new journey. I am uploading this on Malyalam new year, the very next day to Tamil new year.  It's actually very interesting to know how every language is routed like for instance , English had its beginning, and also we came across Telugu new year and now Tamil months starts too and Malayalam calendar has also started . All of them serve the same purpose that is calculating the years but begins accordingly.  In the Tamil calendar, the beginning month is called Chithirai ( சித்திரை).                       ( Photo converted using AI)  On this beginning day, I was given the opportunity to fulfill my wish, visiting the Hanuman temple that is in Girugambakkam, Chennai. Such a wonderful and divine temple and it had more energy than what I saw in Google. This temple was planned , ...

Classrooms as a space.

  Classrooms are meant to be a space to explore many things. It's a space which easily changes according to the required one. If it is class hours, the classroom turns out to be a knowledge seeking place. During breaks it becomes a resting and discussion space. When lunch breaks, our desks hold our lunch boxes.  Not only for these , but also for entertainment and emotional space too. When there is no one in class and we, only with our gang, the space becomes an entertainment spot. We can use that for many artistic talents like story narration where horrors story turn comic as I have already mentioned, and engaging ghost stories shared and yes fun performances are also done. Classroom becomes a dancing stage and our practice session is never without inside jokes, sound laughter and synchronisation without sync but finally we succeed in shooting the video out perfectly. Though final outcomes are perfectly achieved, the practice times were the most interesting one.

Weekends 🗓️

 Why do I like weekends more? Weekends are always an entertaining and energetic one. They begin with a happy mindset. Especially when I was in school.  Friday evening we come back with full energy that would be equal to the energy we would have the whole week. The snack that we have will be tastier because we eat it very relaxedly and enjoy every bit because we will have time to finish our homework later. That evening we can have a breeze walk on our upstairs and our squad will assemble to lay a plan on how to spend the next two days. What are the matches we are going to have and at what timings. Not only did we have a schedule with our friends but we also had plans to spend time with our family. These were possible when we were in small grades. But during our higher secondary it was only sunday, after our Saturday classes, and we spent that time to finish our portions and practice more. Still that weekend was fun and crucial because it gave us the space to plan our studies a...

Image
 Made in Korea is the movie that I watched today.                             ( Image from google)  Starring Priyanka Arul Mohan, Rishikanth, Si - hun Baek, Park Hye - jin and many more. The movie was directed by Ra. Karthik and it is released in Netflix. It was a movie with a cast and crew from the Tamil cinema industry and South Korean industry. The movie is about a woman, who from her young age wishes to visit Korea and her desire starts because of a fancy dress competition that she took part in her school where she represented a Queen named Shembavalam who travels to Korea and was also a reason for the Tamil language having greater influence on the Korean language. She enters her dream place but in a trust broken situation and how she survives in that country without knowing anyone, with language barrier, been scammed with fake job offer and does not have any means of survival is the main plot of t...
