Types of Indian girls!

India is a land with a population of more than a billion,which obviously consists of a lot of girls and women.Mostly,Indian women are stereotyped to be either a nerdy type or a pure NRI type.But there are many different kinds of Indian girls.And while all of them here may or may not be similiar to girls in general,they have a certain Indian swag to them.So without any further ado,let's see the different types of Indian girls.

1.The Sanskari One.

Now this is the Indian girl who is perfectly obedient and respectful.She does pujas every morning and night after bathing and prefers to wear traditional Indian clothing over super-trendy shorts,much to the chagrin of her besties.She doesn't do any kind of crap at school either.All in all,perfect kid for all you sanskari parents out there.

2.The Family Girl.

Now the family girl shouldn't be confused with the sanskaari girl;the family girl might be outgoing and smart AF,but family ALWAYS comes first for her.She may not be spending time with culture,but she definitely spends a lot of time with family.Her facebook covers are usually family pictures with a #FamBam caption,and she plans on letting her parents stay with her after she starts earning.

3.The Nerdy One.

This kind of girl just LOVES studying!She'll literally study anywhere and everywhere-breaks,lunch,breakfast,dinner and even while climbing staircases!Most of them do this out the sheer pressure of competition or just because she is only.So the next time you see a girl like that go talk to her.If she is lonely she'll atleast try to maintain a conversation or shy away,but the other kind literally says-"Get lost!"

4.The over-achieving girl.

People in each and every country know that one Indian girl who achieves so much that it blows your mind away.She has achieved so much that even parents who support their children only if they are guys,ask them to follow her example.She has a big car,3 servants,wears Dolce and Gabbana and earns like,20 lakh rupees per annum.

5.The 'Miss Simples'.

The Miss Simples are my favourite kinds of Indian girls.As their name says,they are very simple and straightforward and don't tend to think much beyond their reason and purpose.They don't cheat you and prefer staying at home and doing simple cleaning rather than doing something extraordinary.Nice and simple.

6.The Feminist!

The Feminist is that girl who knows how to stand up for her rights.She is probably in an NGO and has gone on many protests regarding the rights of women.She is ready to slap any guy if he does something wrong even if he's the most powerful guy on the planet and has raised her voice whenever there were rapes.The kind of women our society needs.

7.The 'Study Abroad' Freak!

This is that Indian girl who is just waiting for her chance to apply at some American,or any foreign university.She keeps her grades consistent,does a LOT of community service,takes part in all those tennis matches and school quiz competitions with the sole purpose of going to some Ivy League college.In fact,her urge to go is so strong that she researches everything about the uni she likes-including it's courses,content and even the size of the campus-in acres and square kilometers for good measure!

8.The 'I Love India!' NRI.

This is the girl who lives abroad,but loves India.And by love,she knows each and every Bollywood movie and is up-to-date with the latest Bolly tracks better than Indians.She loves Indian food and would choose to have daal over mac and cheese.She can't wait to go to India during her holidays and loves her family and friends there.But sadly,these kinds of girls are rare.

9.The 'I Hate India' NRI.

Now this girl is the exact opposite of the previous one.She hates India and thinks it's some poor and random country,hates Bollywood,hates Indian food and probably hates Indians too.She doesn't want anything to do with India or Indian culture and hates visiting India.Unfortunately,if  I had a dollar for how many of these kind of girls I know,I would have enough to own a penthouse apartment.

10.The Bolly-Obsessed.

Now this is the kind of Indian girl who lives on Bollywood.She loves watching Bollywood movies ALL THE TIME and has Bollywood movie posters all over her room.She even dresses like Bollywood actresses!She literally thinks that her life is a Bollywood movie story with a happy ending.Great way to escape reality girl but life never works like a Bollywood movie.

11.The Undecided Enigma.

This is the Indian girl who is very mysterious because she doesn't know what to do with her life.Her way of life is probably either decided by yoga gurus or the people she meets on her 'journeys' in life.Her intentions may not be wrong but she is always misunderstood my our narrow-minded society.Even though she has all pieces in her life set,she is judged,sadly.

                Thanks for reading! :) Also make sure to tell me which kind of girl are you? :D

Three phases of getting board exam results!

So,since most of the people know about their board exam results,it's time to see what are the tree phases any student,or basically and person who wrote an exam or a test,undergoes before their board exam results are out.So grab some popcorn,sit back and relax as you nod along with these points,because I'm sure you can relate!

Pre-Results Phase!

1.Reality Check.

So after boards are done,everyone does nothing but eat,sleep and sit on Facebook for 6 hours straight.

Since board exam results come out toward the end of the end of summers,everyone gets a reality check with the fact that summer is about to end and their new lives are gonna begin.

2.Anxiety.Anxiety everywhere!

Needless to say,board exams are pretty much a big deal.And so,everyone is anxious about how they've done.Did I do well?Did I mess it up?Will I get a 90% or anything at all?These are a few of the thoughts that are gonna make your lazy nights go crazy.

3.The 'I'm-Gonna-Top' feeling.

So let's be honest for for a few minutes and admit the fact that all of us want to top our school.And no harm in dreaming right?It doesn't matter whether you are a topper or failure,you picture yourself getting the highest percentage or GPA and be like,"I'm the boss bro."

4.Too Much Excitement!!

Everyone is TOO excited to know how they've done,good or bad; whether they messed up or not.Your WhatsApp,Facebook and mail is filled with messages showing how excited you,your cousins or your friends are.And deservedly so!I mean,after 2 months,you can't wait to see how you've done.You can't wait to see whether fate is on your side or not.

5.The 'What-If-I-Screwed-Up?!' Feeling.

This is a feeling that is slightly different from anxiety.This is the kind of last-minute feeling you undergo 2 days before results are going to come out.You're probably more scared than people at Haunted Houses and all of a sudden,can't remember anything but all the mistakes you've made in the exams.But you also think that it can't be helped.What is over is over and you know you can't change it.

The Results Phase!

1.SO MUCH TENSION!

Now from personal experience,I know that tension just drives you CRAZZYYY.Period.You can't sleep properly,you can't think properly and everything reminds of you of the crazy marks that are going to change your life pretty soon.

2.Mixed Feels.

Excitement.Nervousness.Tension.Expectation.All these emotions are felt in one split second.I'm not kidding!One hour before your results come out you are too messed up to think about one thing in particular.But don't worry-it ends soon! 

3.Fear Of The Crash.

If our fear of nuclear weapons was on 5 on the scale of FEAR,and loss of a Wi-Fi connection was on 7,our fear for the website announcing results crashing is probably 1000.This is the fear of every student ever.Everyone is worried about the fact that due to thousands of people of logging simultaneously on the website,it might,er...crash.And then you can kiss your results goodbye for sometime.At least till they fix it.

4.That heartbeat.

This happens right when you log on to the website.Your heart beat is loud that you can heart it loud and clear just like you can hear a noisy baarat on a marriage day.You start breathing so heavily that you need to do breathing exercises and your hand shake as though an earthquake is in the house.But don't worry,because this leads to...

5. ...Relief!

This is that feeling you get once you see your results and have calculated your percentage.You are just relieved that your wait is over.Your results may or may not make you happy,but you can be glad with the fact that you tried really hard and gave it your best shot.But don't miss out on this feeling.

The 'Post-Results' Phase!

1. Bring on the mithai!

Whether you aced your boards or not,you are surely going to get some sweets as a relief prize.If you do well,you are stuffed with ladoos.If you don't do well,you're still stuffed with ladoos!Basically it's a profit season for sweet shops!

2.27 Calls/minute.

The one thing about results being out is the fact that all people-friends,family,neighbours,cousins,etc.-everyone calls you like there is no tomorrow!You're chatting with your friends,and talking to others on two or three phones.Hectic,but at the same time makes you feel pampered.

3.Begin The Parties!

We all partied after boards got over.And then the party spirit died.But after results come out,all you feel like doing is meet friends,have pizza and dance on punjabi songs.Period.

4.The 'I-Could-Have-Done-Better' Feeling.

It's human tendency to expect more.So even if you were to get,like,99.9%,you would be happy but somewhere,sometime you would think,I could have done better.So no matter how well you did,even if you know you gave it your best shot,you always think that you could have worked a bit harder and studied an hour more.

5.Mixed Feels For Everyone.

Some people are happy with their results,while some people aren't satisfied with it.So ultimately,everyone has different thoughts about the results.But what is important to realise is that the people who love you-your friends,family,etc-won't judge you on your board exam marks.It's also important to realise that board exams are not the aim and you can always improve on what you've done! :) Thanks for reading! :)

What does Bollywood teach us?

Short clothes,sexy girls,item numbers,bling-bling and catchy lyrics only remind us of one thing-BOLLYWOOD!While some people love Bollywood and consider acting in a Bollywood movie the peak of their career,some people outright HATE Bollywood!But whether we like it or hate it,Bollywood teaches us many things,knowingly and unknowingly.But,what exactly,does Bollywood teach?

Romance Fantasies.

The one thing Bollywood gets right EVERY TIME,is the fabulous FANTASIES.They come in all shapes and sizes-from a simple glance from your 'love',to some you-know-what action,Bollywood enhances our creativity in these situations.Sometimes,it blows my mind away when I think how many awkward romance scenes Bollywood creates,and how many fantasies it comes up with to counteract those little bloopers.

Finding true love.

DDLJ fans will relate to this point.You can find true love in any Bollywood scenario.On Eurorail,Indian Rail,Mexican rail,Brazilian rail,platform,police station,train station,airport-true love can often be found in the form of creepy men or overpossesive women.Thanks Bollywood.I'll surely pop into a train at one in the morning and find my bae.

IDENTIFYING true love.

Yes,I know that I'm taking it too far with the 'love' lessons,but they just don't end!Bollywood movies teach you true indicators of truly indicating true love.My favourite one is what Rancho says in '3 Idiots',that when you are in love in someone,the winds start blowing,the moon looks bigger and everything happens in slow motion!Just,wow.

Pick-up Lines.

New generation movies in bollywood also somehow give teenagers amazing ideas for pick up lines.See teenagers-who-love-Bollywood,pick-up lines are good if they a)make sense and b)they are not creepy.Because if you tell,"Hey baby,you must be a light switch,because every time I see you,I turn on" ,you can be damn sure that the girl is gonna drag you down to the Police Station.

Beauty is white and thin.

I don't mean to be racist,but it's a fact-there are so many actors in Hollywood,and even our local industries that have some famous and awesome actors that are dark,or fat.But I have scarcely seen any Bollywood actors like that.Mostly talent is appreciated only if you are thin,and tall and fair.There have been so many criticisms of people who,though great actors,don't make this cut.Physical beauty is only skin deep Bollywood.Great models aren't necessarily always great actors.

Don't give a damn about what people think.

Though there are some insane messages Bollywood gets across,it also teaches us how to live without giving a damn.Through songs and all.But nevertheless.Indian society is super-judgemental,but some Bollywood movies actually encourage you to be who you are and respect other people for who they are without judging them.Be yourself.Don't give a damn about what anyone says.

It's okay to be different.

Many Bollywood movies such as Taare Zameen Par and even 3 Idiots shows that it's okay if you're not like the rest.It's okay if your aim in life isn't to earn a billion dollars or enter IIT.It's okay if you can't understand the world like most do-that makes you unique and that's what defines you.These messages are so encouraging to people who are going through depression or even rejection.

So these are the funny and amazing lessons I've learnt from Bollywood.No matter how crazy or over-the-top it can be,Bollywood is something we Indians have grown up with!And let's admit it-we all shake a leg whenever we hear a Bolly track.What are the lessons you've learnt from Bollywood?Do tell! :D Thanks for reading! :D

Types of people at Swimming Pools!

Yessss!It's summer time for everyone now!And almost everyone's summer plan includes a swim at the pool.Now you would think that the only people who swim are little kids and uncles and aunties who enjoy relieving their stress by flapping around,but that's not the case.I've been swimming since I was 3 years old,and trust me,I have seen so many kinds of people come and go in this large blue puddle of water.So let's jump into the barrel and see the different kinds of people at swimming pools.

1.The Flappy Kids.

Now these are the kids who are between the ages of 4-11 who are EXTREMELY noisy.Since these kids are getting into the habit of swimming,we often see them just hitting their hands and legs around.And not to forget,they are KNOWN for converting the pool to a fish market.

2.The Gossip Teens.

Now these are the kind of people between the ages of 12-18 or 19,whose sole purpose is to gossip."Look at that guy,he's so hot!" or "That girl looks so hot!" They really don't give a damn about doing laps or anything,they just want to discuss the News Of The World.

3.The Pros.

Now these people come in all age groups.They are the people who have been swimming since the beginning of humanity.They don't need to wear sexy swimsuits or have a hot figure-they stand out because of their mind-blowing swimming skills,which attracts the eyes of desperate parents who are trying to make their little kids swim.Not only this,since a lot of them are actually competitive swimmers,they become the source of everyone's pride at your swimming pool.

4.The IDCs.

Now these are the people who are ultra-difficult to understand.They are like the ministers in India-you don't understand whether they are doing good stuff or bad.At times they are nice and positive,but they very next day their personality changes so drastically that you start thinking whether they are hypnotized or not.They really don't CARE what people think about them and hence they show these drastic changes in their personality.

5.The Show-Offs.

These are the kinds of people who are there only for show purposes.They probably buy some expensive Victoria's Secret Swimsuit,maybe even five of them,but freak out whenever they are thrown in 4 feet.Do you know Sharpay and Ryan Evans from The HSM movies?They are those kinds of people.

6.The Oldylocks.

These are the old 'uncle-and-aunty' type of people who who are known for their signature slow motion breast strokes and for making faces when cute little kids crash into them.While some of them are genuinely sweet and friendly,some of them are downright rude.But it is because of these people that the pools are kinda clean,I guess?Otherwise,every six year-old would think that this was a bathroom and pee over here.

7.The Friend-Makers.

By far the coolest kinds of people,the friend-makers are not big on their swimming skills or anything,but they make swimming fun.You instantly become friends with them because of their amiable personality and have an endless series of races,gossips,etc.And who knows?They become your bestest buds!

Although these are only a few kinds of people,there are so many varieties of humans found in and sround swimming pools.Do share and tell me if I have missed out on any!Thanks for reading! :D

Quirks of having parents with a love marriage!

In countries such as USA,UK,etc,love marriages aren't a big deal-in fact,they happen all the time.Teenagers get married,adults get married and even senior citizens get married.But not in India!It is generally considered 'uncultured' to do a love marriage,and you have to ultimately spend your entire life with person you met one day before your marriage.But there are a lot of couples in India,LOTS of them,who had a love marriage,meaning who fell in love and got married,without much intervention from their parents.And this is kind of good for their kids because they get a lot of advantages and also a good tea-time love story that is better than DDLJ!So let's see what are the quirks of having parents with a love marriage.

1.Languages!

Most of the love marriages are inter-state languages,meaning the kids have to learn two or three extra languages.But it's really cool!Sure,there are gonna be times when you may mix Tamil with Punjabi,but that means you can talk in some unknown language to prank call your friends or even crack that Tamil and Punjabi perfectly!

2.Open-Mindedness.

Okay,pardon my English!Is there even a word called open-mindedness?!Anyway,most of the love-married are really open-minded.They don't really care about castes or creed or colour and stuff like that.And they don't freak out if you're dating someone.In fact,a lot of parents actually support your relationship.

3.Love stories!

All love married couples have a GREAT love story!Either they met on balconies,or crashed into each other in markets or movie theaters,or even hated each other in the start but then loved each other-every love story is amazing!These little love stories actually make you believe in love.Not the Bollywood-kind,but the real one.One that makes you sacrifice things for each other and makes you find someone perfect for yourself.

4.Different kinds of people.

Since your parents may be from different parts of India,all your cousins and aunts and uncles aren't really from the same part of the country.Because of this,you have different kinds of family members.You have all kinds of Indians under one family-from the lively and cheerful Punjabis to the shy and reserved South-Indians,from the 'mengo'-obsessed Gujratis to the chatty bengalis-it's an all-in-one deal!

5.All-India Tours: All The Time!

Because your family lives in different parts of the country,you can go to different states every vacation.This is the best advantage of having love-marriage parents!Different states,places and cities can always be visited,and since you always have some kind of family,you never feel alone.

6.The Jealousy!

For some reason,a lot of people are 'jealous' of the fact that your parents have had a love marriage! I know this sounds really dumb,but this is one thing I've observed so much!I mean,your fellow kinsmen aren't,but for your other friends this is a really big thing to be jealous about.Though exactly why they're jealous,I don't know,but jealousy is how it goes!

7.The Centre of Attention!

This is kind of related to the previous point!If I had a dollar for how many times I became the Centre Of Attention of my friends because my parents had a love marriage,I would have enough cash to buy Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with the Oompa-Loompas.People ask me weird questions-how my parents met,did they send each other any letters,who proposed,etc!While this does become annoying,you can't help but enjoy the time when you are like the mini-star of your friends for this little achievement!

So at the end of this I would like to put a point-love marriages and arranged marriages have their own pros and cons.Since my parents have had a love marriage I obviously find the former better.Morever,the fact that you have to marry someone that you don't know is really strange.No matter whose son or daughter it is,it's important that you fell comfortable with them first.But this is just an opinion that is really subjective.Thanks and happy reading! :')

Letters to a Rapist-Part 1.

In India we hear about a lot of rape cases,mostly those that have been brought forward by the media or the police or such.But whether reported or unreported,rape produces an impact on not just the rape victim,but her family members too.So,in this letter to a rapist,we see a sister telling about the impact men like him create on not just the rape victim and her kin,but to his entire community and the country as well.

Dear rapist,

                  A short skirt.Red lipstick.High heels.Brown hair.Sexy legs-that's all it took to provoke you.Rather than seeing my sister for her real beauty and strength,you chose these shallow features to take advantage of her.And you're not going to get away with it.

                            She was sixteen,my younger sister.She had been playing around ever since she was a kid,but after she saw a doctor treating a little kid in the first-aid room,she couldn't help but think about those people who could,with their arsenal of medicines and friendly smile,relieve people of their pain.She wanted to be one of them,no matter how hard the road would be.She wanted to be a doctor.

                   She was always carefree.Never thought how people felt about her.Whether they liked her or not,she would talk to them anyway.She always loved dogs and even adopted a stray dog to take care of him.She knew she wasn't perfect but that never stopped her from trying to be perfect.She annoyed me more than anyone else,but when I wanted her,she would stay with me the whole night,making sure I was fine.She was funny in a way that could bring sunshine back even on dark and rainy days.And she was smart too.She could memorize anything that she saw.And she loved doing maths and always taught kids so that they could have as much fun in math as she did.And she always had a spark in her eyes.I cannot believe that instead of trying to know these beautiful qualities,you decided to 'punish' her for something she wasn't responsible.

                 She was with her boyfriend that day.It was 5 days after her sixteenth birthday.She wore a black short skirt and she had her favourite red lipstick on.She wore those black colour heels I got from Mumbai.And she styled her hair.She wasn't drunk.Or high.And she wasn't even doing anything wrong.But she was a GIRL.And of course,rather than punishing mass murderers or guys who ask dowry,you chose to target a sixteen year old only because she didn't comply with your so-called 'Indian Culture'.And because of these 'solid' reasons,you took advantage of her.Raped her in the name of Indian culture.Assaulted her because you couldn't control yourself.Pinned her down because she had the guts to fight you back and not sit back and 'take it all'.

                               She came back home crying and she was never the same again.You got away with a 5-year prison sentence,but what about the torture you gave to the rest of her life?She gets judged for no reason.She gets dirty looks by her neighbours,even if she is doing something good.She is called a 'slut',a 'whore' and what not.And you?You are probably bribing the jail keeper to catch the latest cricket match,not even thinking about what you have done.

                     Today,I can do nothing but look at my sister and cry about what you've done to her.Though I know she is strong and brave,she hides a huge wound wide open in her heart.I'll probably never see the spark in her eyes ever again.And you?You say that she was 'inappropriately' dressed.You say that it was her fault that she got raped.You say that she should be a typical stereotype and stay within the four walls of her house.You say and say and say,but your ultimate reason-SHE WAS A WOMAN.

                      Mr.Rapist,it's not her.It's YOU.You are the reason why men get the courage to do things like this.You are the reason why girls get scared to catch autos.You are the reason why girls can't help but think what the next man is going to do to her in her bus.You are the reason why girls are frightened by the prospect of travelling after 9.Isn't this our country too?Don't we have the right to do what we like?Hang out with boys?Dress how we like?Do what we like?You were brought into this world by a woman,and this is how you treat her?

                      But this won't end.I know I cannot change the minds of thousands of people like you.But I know that you have sisters.Mothers.Wives.And even daughters.And someday they will go through the same phase as my sister did.They will be assaulted in the same way as my sister was because of the mentality of the people like you.And I know that you'll understand this only then.You wanted to challenge us,huh?Now you will see how we challenge Indian mentality.You will pay for this.You will.

                                                                              Sincerely,

                                                                             An elder sister.

6 Annoying poems in Hindi.

So,if you have read my previous entry,you have observed me lash out on our FAVOURITE Hindi Short Stories.However,when I looked back and thought about it,I thought that our lovely and amazing POEMS deserve equal treatment.So,without any further ado,lets jump down to see the 6 most annoying poems in our Hindi poems textbook-Kavya Chandrika.

6.कर्मवीर 

So I'm basically so bad at Hindi I can't even translate this word! Yeah,Yeah,my bad bro.But this poem is annoying for so many REASONS.Firstly,this poem keeps repeating the same point AGAIN and AGAIN,just like the way they play the same music at parties,thinking no one will notice.Well,we may not notice the music,but in the arena of the most annoying,this poem is not getting away.And I honestly do not understand HOW is being great connected to setting up telephone lines.Plus,this is SO long,you might as well finish Mortal Kombat 5 times.

5. उदय का क्षण 

Hands down,most random poem ever.'Uday Ka shan' or 'The moment of sunset' is basically a poem written by,er...powerpuff girls.You know,we're shiny happy people!Yay!!But sadly,we have to read this powerpuff girl poem,which tells us how we have to live every moment and not get depressed during sunsets,etc.Yes,the message is okayyy,but I do not understand WHY this poem is so vague?!It's as if the poet had to catch some Japanese bullet train and his house rent is due.Hence he has to earn some cash by selling some poem.Not cool man.

4.नवीन कल्पना करो 

'Naveen Kalpana Karo' or 'Have a new wish' is basically a patriotism type poem.But the problem is,it has TOOOO many rhyming words!And I don't know how it is with SSC or CBSE students,but all ICSE students are expected to remember stuff like this like the lyrics of,well-Anaconda.And this is not easy,because this is even longer than our cute little Karamvir.My brain shudders at the thought of this terrific poem.

3.सावन 

'Savaan' or 'Rainy Season' is a poem describing the 'Pleasures' of Monsoons.This poem basically has SOOO many sounds and insects.Yeah,I like rain,but that doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and dance in the rain like it's some Bollywood movie!Leave alone listening to all these adorable,ADORABLE sounds and insects and stuff like that.And I've never heard about insects singing with delight.Rather,you can always hear them crying about the fact that their winter rations are destroyed.

2.सूर के पद 

Here is another title I can't translate exactly.Yes,I suck big time in Hindi,let the memes begin!This poem is basically about how awesome God is,but it is annoying for so many reasons-1)There is only ONE point,only 1 POINT in the entire poem.And it would have been cool if it was some Einstein kind of point.But,no bro.None of that happens.2)They use bizarre examples like donkeys and all.That's like using chocolate cake to prove magnetism in an electric magnet-it's that pointless.And third,this isn't even Hindi!The only thing that keeps it from the Absolute Bottom is the fact that it is short.Yup.That's your only saviour kiddo.

1.राम-सुग्रीव-मैत्री 

FINALLY I can rant about this poem.'Ram-Sugreev-maitri' or the 'Friendship of Ram and Sugreev' is in NO way friendly to students yo.It fulfills each and every criteria for being annoying.Not Hindi-check.Long poem-check.Bizarre story-check.I could never understand anything beyond the first 2 lines of the poem!Dear ICSE Council,last time I checked,Hindi is Hindi.But if you give poems like these,I might as well read Greek.And I even get Greek you know?Alpha beta and stuff.So yeah.Pliss.Be more patriotic and add some SANE Hindi.

So,at the end,I want to say that poems may not bother everyone,you know.A lot of people actually enjoy reading or even writing poems.And then there are people like me who are bad at Hindi AND poems.Hence my opinion.Thank you for reading! :)
