What Happened in the Last 5 Years?

Hello everyone!!

I know, I know it has been a really long time since I have posted on this blog but it feels good to be back after such a long hiatus! The last 5 years have seen some significant changes in my life. Keep reading if you want to know what they have been! Let me tell you that they were the least expected ones!



The first thing that took place was a change of careers. My passion for writing got turned into a profession. Yes, I began in 2014 and today I have 5 years of experience in content writing. Instead of joining any firm I chose to be a freelancer. You must be wondering why! Well, as a freelancer I am self-employed and have more than one client to write for. The work-from-home scenario is the best for me as the work-timings are super flexible. I can shut-shop at any time of the day as it is completely my call. I guess most of you would relate to me if you also work form home! At times it does get a bit boring because you have no colleagues to talk to. However, there is peace! 

A major life-changing event took place in 2017 when my family had to leave my hometown Chennai and settle down in Bangalore. It was tough as I didn't want to leave Chennai and my home where I grew up but eventually I had to abide by God's will and shift cities. I currently live in Bangalore and I like the place. The weather is great, the people are helpful and there is a different energy in the environment! Now, I like the city so much that settling down anywhere else in India is a no-no from my side. However, you never know, God can have his own plans and may suddenly change my path. It is just as if he picked me up from one city and placed me into another! Luckily as a freelancer my professional life didn't get affected. The biggest pro of being a freelancer!

In the end of 2017 I also started my You Tube channel and have been making a lot of videos on health, lifestyle, fashion, food and other stuff like DIYs. The channel is growing at its own pace as I don't create a lot of content but it is like an outlet to the creative side of my personality. I learned everything like video editing and recording all by myself!

So here I am, with my family, living in an apartment in the beautiful city of Bangalore! One question keeps coming in my mind, where will life lead me from here? Absolutely no clue!
However, one thing is for sure, I will work towards rebuilding this blog. It feels good to have a window to express what your soul feels from time to time.
That's pretty much it from my end! You can share your views in the comment section. I would love to know!

Love,
Vinita

Are movies close to everyday life??

Image
                              Good question to ponder upon.  Whatever is depicted in films is too far from reality.  There is a yawning gap between our lives and stories shown on the big screen.  Very rare have I found reality in movies.  The way people emote on the screen is no where near the real world.  Emotions such as love, fear, anger, happiness, sadness, depression appear to be very made up.                                Just imagine yourself singing aloud for your loved one on the streets.  People will declare that you are mad!!! Dressing up like the heroines in some cases is a strict no no.  And then there are those dream sequences ( like any other girl I love them) , with a beautiful location and an enviable wardrobe. Fight scenes are over the top and unnatural. Imagine a guy taking drips suddenly gets up from his hospital bed , runs and fights like a lion!!!  Nowadays fights have become even more dramatic ( Singham!!).                                But if movies are lik

Homemade Food - Have you Thanked Your Mom Enough?

Image
Hey Everyone! Well, I am back and I promise that I will be more regular in this space from now onward! Last night I had planned my entire Saturday. I wanted to go out and chill out in my own company but as you all know what one thinks cannot come true all the time! So yeah, I woke up at 11:00 am and I swear I was feeling very bad not just because waking up late is bad but also because I had messed the entire plan for the day. Then it suddenly struck me 'Why don't I do something that I never do?' To be honest guys, I never make the main dish for any meal. I can make round rotis and I generally do so every second day but taking the helm of the kitchen in my hands is not my cup of tea. So, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and make the sabzi today! I am a big fan of paneer and capsicum sabzi and that is why I set out to make it all by myself. I asked my mom for the recipe of course so that I don't go wrong anywhere. I was slowly slicing all the veggies, and

Journey of a currency note

Image
                                So, having a lot of cash in your purse??  Take out a single currency note and just think who all owned it before it landed into your wallet. Isn't it a strange thing?  Especially in India it becomes a lot more easy to trace a INR note.  You can find people immortalize their loved one's by writing their names on it.  Just yesterday I saw a Rs.5 note with a 'GUNA SISTER' written on it in capital letters.  Writing numbers was a norm but now even names appear.  Xyz loves Zyx , I know quite silly but true.  Just like how at historical places you find hearts engraved with lovers' names.  Not only does it spoil these precious monuments, it is a very cheap way of publicizing one's love.                     Coming back to currency notes and their ever changing holders, you give a 500 rupees note to a shop-keeper for buying a Rs.50 product, you get Rs.450 back...ok this is no math class... you may get it as 4 hundred rupees notes and 5 te
