But first, I would really like to thank all of them for being so sweet and so generous for taking out a few minutes of their lives to fill the form. I really am thankful to each one of you from the bottom of my heart.

So, now without further adieu let’s see the responses by these amazing people.

1. JoJoHall (@JoJoHall16) from
jojoscupofmocha.com says :

” I would say when I studied abroad back in 2015. I met so many amazing people, saw so many beautiful places and scenery, it just gave me so much joy and pleasure to travel the world and make memories! ”

2. Jupiter Hadley (@Jupiter_hadley) from jupiterhadley.com says:

“When I was 18, I moved from the small-town USA to England, all by myself. Just got into a plane and moved, because I didn’t want to be stuck in a dead-end town that sucks everyone up with them. I wanted adventure and to travel the world. Since then, I have been able to visit Germany, Spain, Sweden, Romania, and many more, and I get to live in England. It’s been amazing.”

3. H Emma ( @hazloe3 ) from thextraordinarionly.com says:

” A 3-day leadership worship by John C. Maxwell completely transformed my life – I still remember two statements he made …
‘try fit a square peg in a round hole’
‘a pig cannot fly, no matter how long the runaway is’!
My signed copy of ‘Failing Forward’ has so many dog ears”

4. Samantha Lyon ( @yetanothermummy) from yetanothermummyblog.com says:

” When I was 18 months old, we moved abroad as a family and I lived my entire childhood overseas, mostly in Turkey. It definitely shaped me into who I am today. I’d have been a completely different person if I never had those experiences and met those people. ”

5. SM ( @mymindvoice2 ) from mymindvoice.com says:

“My father’s sudden death 6 years ago. It taught me not to take people in our life for granted.”

I am so sorry to hear about this SM.

Believe it or not, even the tiniest of the things that happen to us shape us and our lives. Sometimes it’s good sometimes it bad. But everything teaches us a lesson.

It is very important to be grateful for whatever we have. Because trust me many people don’t even have that.

Wake up every morning and thank god for this beautiful life that he has given you and thank him that you get to live one more day. Make the most of your life.

Everything will be fine. You will one day get everything you deserve. Don’t stress too much for little things. Live your life buddy.

Trust me. Living is an art and not everyone can do it. It’s a fact.

Just don’t worry about the future or stress about the past. Savor each moment as it comes.

Always remember that not all rich and successful people are happy.

So, these were some instances that changed lives. The instances listed by these amazing people have affected them in some or other way. I wish them all the luck with whatever they do.

Also, thank you all for reading this post. Do share your thoughts below. I would love to read them.’

Bye-bye till the next time we meet. Till then stay safe, stay happy, and live.

When I look back at life, there are so many things I think that makes me giggle. Also, there are few things that makes me so sad.

There are few things which I regret not doing and there are few things which I am so glad that they happened.

1. I am so glad that I graduated when there was no pandemic.

I graduated last year. And I can never forget my last day. Though I can really feel the sadness of every student who would he graduating this year.

I sometimes realize how lucky I am that I got to visit all those lasts of the university. The last meal with friends, the last exam, the last lecture, the last everything of the college. I could still remember myself clicking phots with each and every friend and of each and every corner of the college.
Nostalgia is still hitting hard while I am writing this.

2. I wish I have enjoyed a life a little more, when I walk down the memory lane

I really really wish that I have never said no to any plans. Being a person who worries a lot about every little thing, I wish I have not taken life too seriously and enjoyed every moment.

You never know when life will take a turn..and you will miss even the tiniest things that you always took for granted.

3. I should have never said no to learning.

Today, when I look back I realize I always had so much time in hand to learn something new. And I think the only problem was procastination.

4. I am glad I came at the right time to my home.

Had I not taken the decision to come back home at the right time I would have stuck alone without my family, and I don’t know how would I have handled myself. I am really so thankful to god that I am with my family right now.

The list is countless. And after all this I have become more thankful to god for everything he has given. Also, I now value life more. Also, friends and family matters a more now ( although for me they always did).

Thank you so much for visiting Interesting reads. Also, do tell me what do you guys regret and are thankful for when you take a walk down the memory lane.

Love, ain’t it is such a beautiful word,

It brings you happiness, when you are in pain,

It lift’s you up, when you can’t even express,

It’s the shining light, for your darkest nights,

It’s the thing that motivates, to hang on through your tough days,

And, no matter what comes but true love always stays.

Thank you so much for reading this poem on love. This was my another attempt at writing a poem. I hope I didn’t screwed it.

So, one weekend me and my friends thought to have some fun time at Connaught Place, Delhi.

But, before sharing my experience just a friendly advice to everyone. Whenever you visit Delhi do come to Connaught Place because I know you’ll love it. Without wasting much of your time let me begin sharing my experience on the trip to Connaught Place.

The nearest metro station to C.P is Rajiv Chowk. The station is underground and interchange station for blue line and yellow line. And, C.P is at a walking distance from Rajiv chowk metro station.

And now let’s come to the interesting part:

1. First we went to Saravan Bhawan. Because, It is famous for it’s South Indian food and I love Dosa. And believe me the food there was amazing .So,We ordered:

a. Masala dosa

b. Onion Uthappams

c. And an onion rawa dosa

2. After that we did some shopping at Janpath market. There we ended up buying some very nice winter clothes at very reasonable price.

3. Till then again we became hungry. So, we decided to go to “Attitude, Kitchen and Bar”. And we were lucky enough as there was live show also going on there. So there we ate

a. Dry chilli paneer and

b. Honey chilli potato

And enjoyed the live show to the fullest.

After that we became so tired that we decided to go back to our places. And on our way we saw this amazing car:

After 15 minutes of continuously admiring this car we got back to our places. So, it was a very short,sweet and a bit tiring trip.

If you have ever been to Cannaught Place,Delhi do tell me your experience. I would love to know.

Home.This is a word that makes me and I think everyone very emotional. Well, but actually is a home? Someone said and I believe ” Home is where the heart is”. Isn’t it so true?  Deep down don’t we all think the same? I know we all do. Yes, home is definitely a place where everyone’s heart is.

Home is not just a place with bricks and cement and paint. It’s not a place that has just windows and curtains and switches and beds etc. It is actually a place where memories are made. A place where are soul lies. A place which has seen our vulnerability.

What really is home to me

It is the place where we grow up thinking what we want to be – engineers or doctors or painters or writers or authors or actors or  IAS officers  etc.

Home is the place where we broke that ceramic cup, from where we went to our schools, the place where the bed feels the most comfortable, where there is so much warmth, a place where we can completely be ourselves , a place where we celebrated every festival for the first time.

It is the only place where we don’t feel judged. The place where we take a sigh of relief after coming from a long tour is our Home.

Home is the place where every corner and every thing has a memory attached to it. It is the place which always remains familiar no matter from wherever we come. It is the place where we feel loved and cared.

And of course ,who can forget those fights with our siblings, those family dinners, watching a family show together and moments where we all share laughter.

Truly, home is not a place it’s a feeling. Home is really a place where our heart is.

Sadar Bazar is also present in Delhi but due to anti-CAA protests we decided to stick with the market of Gurgaon.

Well, sadar badar is a market where you can get anything from cosmetics to clothes to household items and i mean literally anything at a very cheap rate.

So,we took a direct auto from M.G road to Sadar Bazar. And as we reached there, we saw the place was so crowded and there were police personnel everywhere.

We stopped at every shop and bought the things we liked. And after hours of shopping we felt so hungry to we searched for a nearbuy restaurant and ordered so much food.

Here is a glimpse of the tasty food we ate:

1. South India special Masala dosa

2. Veg Spring rolls

And we ate much more.

We enjoyed a lot there, it really was worth a visit.

I wish to go back to the time,
when i was a child,
When all my wishes were piled,
for the Christmas time,
To the time i believed that santa was real,
And he will make all the negativities disappear,
To the time i believed my wishes would conform,
To the time i wanted my him to fill my room full of toys,
And i would only enjoy.
Oh,I wish i could go back to that good old times.
