a letter to my best friend**disclaimer: the following discusses sensitive topics such as death and elderly care. feel free to take a break if needed and skip whole sections altogether if you don’t want to read them. Dear Ammini (a.k.a. Ammachi, Soshakutty, and most importantly, my best friend), This is going to be a long one, but I want you to know exactly what’s been going through my big head these past few months. I thought I was ready for you to go, but all that mental preparation seemed t...

the beauty of chaos
Chaos… The dictionary defines chaos as "complete disorder and confusion." How do we thrive in chaos? Well, you must experience chaotic moments to understand how to deal with chaos fully. A friend this past spring semester in school would always say, "All I want to see at [Rangila afterparty] is chaos; it is so fun to see." YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE HAHA :). I would always respond, "Why would someone want chaos?" In the past couple of months, there have been a couple of chaotic moments involving my...

the power of the smile
**Opinion Base article** iykyk but this is strictly opinion based, if you disagree with it let me know and we can discuss “Thomas [or Rahul] [or whatever you call me], you have a great smile.” I will say this is the greatest compliment I have received.

My dad made an astute observation when we entered the restaurant, “Why do most people in the restaurant not have a smile on their...

patience is a virtue
How patient are you? If this question had been asked to me last year, I would have said zero patience. I would get frustrated if something did not happen the moment I wanted it to happen. My impatience led me to be angry at some points, and it was not a healthy habit. As I stated in my previous blog post, I want to live my life living every single moment to the fullest. Am I achieving what I want to do if I am angry at someone or something? I do not believe it, mainly because my next moment i...

welcome
What is going on, everyone! I am excited to begin this blog to talk about what is going on in my life and how I see things through my outlook. To kick things off, let's go into how I live my life and why I do it? This whole realization of how precious time is hit me back in Fall 2020. I had just gone through a challenging situation regarding ROTC, and I had to add another year to my college career. While at community college, I attended the University of Maryland for my ROTC training ses...
