The Pen and the Musical Note

So as the title suggests, I'm gonna be doing something a bit different today. I normally blog on things that are really concrete and easy to put into a box with a title, etc etc. Today's blog is just some thoughts I've had in my head forever, but I don't think it falls into a category.  It's Just Thoughts. The first thing, why do people always think from only one side of the story? This applies in many situations. Books, real life, reel life. And, more than often its the side that the story is being told from. nobody thought about how Peter Pettigrew had been compelled to join Voldemort only because he was the one overlooked from the Marauders. Nobody thought about how in Mahabharata, Duryodhana fought that war only because he had been told, in fact, assured that he would be king. All his life. That idea is quite frankly very debated, but my sister and I have had too many discussions on it to be ignored. Second, why is 'A first impression a last impression?...

Hullo! So we all know that pretty recently, the wonder of wonders happened. The international band, Coldplay graced India with their presence. And I had the privilege of being there (!!!). This is my write up for the Trinity exam that I will be giving, the topic being 'A Memorable Experience' This is pretty much the most memorable thing to ever happen to me. So, here it is, The Global Citizen Festival India 2016. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Memorable Experience 19th November, 2016 was arguably one of the best nights of my life. It was the day of the Global Citizen Festival in India, and I was attending. Let me begin at the beginning. I was delivered the news that the phenomenal and highly famous band, Coldplay, was coming to India by my Trinity teacher, Mrs. Karekar herself. She read out an article for us at class and said that most of the tickets were complimentary, being won...

Hullo!!! I'm back! Really sorry for the delay 😶 I was on my school tour last week. Also, Happy New Year. Hopefully 2017 will treat us better than 2016! (Lol😁) Sooooo, here I have a diary entry written for school in Grade 6. Hope you like it! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Diary, I'm so sorry for not writing for sometime. The thing is that Ganesh Chaturthi was just around the corner, so I was really busy. But now since it is over I can tell, taking my own sweet time. So, I missed the decorations. Ganpati was at my aunt's house, as always. I feel like her Ganpati is the family's Ganpati. Back to the point, I missed decoration because of my Trinity exam. the whole time, there was only one thing in my mind, 'This better be good, because I missed the best part of the celebrations for it.' the Ganpati was eco-friendly, made with clay and painted with organic pastes...

Hi guys! Anika here! And this is my first ever true post. (!) Literally the most excited I have ever been. Soooo, this is one of my essays from when I was in fifth grade. I wrote it for a competition organised by The Hindustan Times, the topic being "Man's Greatest Invention". I'm gonna type it out on here as well as post the picture of the original writing. Hope you like it!🌌🌌 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man's Greatest Invention In my opinion, man's greatest invention is the wheel. The wheel is an object so ancient archaeologists have no way of knowing who first developed it. The oldest wheel and axle mechanism was found near Ljubljana, Slovenia and dates back to 3100 B.C. Some uses of the wheel are that it made transportation of goods faster and more efficient, especially when fixed onto horse-drawn chariots and carts. However, if it had been used on...

My name is Anika and this is my blog. As you have probably guessed, my main interests are music and writing, thus leading to the name. This blog will be updated every Sunday, since that is the only day of the week I even get time to breathe. The posts will dedicated to my essays and school activities. If I think any of my writings are really good, they'll come on here. I'm definitely what you call a voracious reader, so if any books interest me, or if I just want to write something about them, I'll come here. I'll be posting beginning this Sunday, and I'll begin with my old school essays. I'd love to know your opinion on them, so feel free to comment. ;)   So, see you this Sunday and keep smiling!☺
