These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things...

Here I am, staring at the computer screen, completely run out of ideas.

That's what happens to you when you end up giving three solo PowerPoint presentations, a four-hour long midterm exam and a ton of other extracurricular activities. 

Might I add, you've done none of these activities to the best of your abilities and you've only done it for the sake of passing. 

Anyhow. 

So, as I have no grand ideas to amuse you, allow me to tell you about my majestically amazing self in a list of 25 points (Because hey, it's close to Christmas). 

Here goes nothing: 

A List Of My Favourite Things/Situations/People

1. As strange as it may sound, I love the smell of wood-smoke. I don't know why, but it really seems so crisp and invokes really nostalgic memories. 

2. It may seem really contrary to my overall character, but I really enjoy singing. I know I have a very high-pitched (sometimes really a virile mixture of nasal and shrill when I'm angry) voice. Yet, I enjoy singing my lungs out to the songs I listen to. 

3. I love, love, love, LOVE pranking people. I know people say, "Oh, pranking people is so wrong. It hurts their feelings and what if you get into serious trouble?"

But let me be honest with you, I really enjoy practical jokes. Be it prank-calls, elaborate ghost-story skits or faking that I have a boyfriend who cheated on me - I've done it all. And yes, I intend to prank a lot more - so, be warned!  

4. One of my favourite people happens to be my mom's mother, my grandmother. Yes, we do fight almost all the time, but I can share EVERYTHING with her, without getting worried about how she might react. 

5. I like people who remember little random facts about me. I don't know if it sounds really self-centered but I really find it sweet to see that there's someone out there who remembers things about me, the ones that others clearly forget. It makes me feel like, "Okay, there's someone who cares." and makes me feel like I need to do something too, because they really are special individuals. 

6. I love doing stuff. I don't know why, but I like keeping myself busy and doing constructive things. I love taking part in extracurricular activities. Although 99 per cent of the time I lose, but that doesn't matter because taking part is what ultimately counts. 

7. I love people who are wholly, completely, utterly honest with me. I don't like people who sugarcoat everything they say because somehow, I can see through fakeness and that makes me really bitter about them... which results in me lashing out at them.

8. I love soaking up in positive quotes, videos and books. I always make it a point to keep myself psychologically fit and try hard not to fall into the horrible bout of depression that I fell into, a couple of months ago.

9. I am a huge Maggi addict. I can eat it all the DAMN TIME.

10. I love Pepsi more than Coca Cola.

11. Despite the fact that I happen to be highly unromantic/un-sensual in reality, I love reading romance novels - especially the ones that leave me utterly happy in the end. Reality wise, I don't think I'm the kind of girl who wants to be serenaded around by a guy. But in books, those kinds of scenes really make me laugh.

12. I have a really small, close-knit group of friends and I love them to bits. I honestly do NOT like big groups because they really are fake, most of the time. I like the intimacy, warmth and sweetness that comes along with smaller groups. It makes me feel more attached to the other people and makes me feel like, "Hey, this is where I belong."

I've literally got four best friends, to whom I can be unshamedly myself. If I'm a suspect for murdering somebody, do not ask my family. Ask these four girls. They are SMART ENOUGH TO WRITE MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

13. I <3 British accents. Enough said.

14. I am a HUGE Kate Winslet. I haven't watched all her movies but I literally know the plots of almost all of them! She is literally one of the coolest people to walk on this earth.

15. My all-time favourite book is "The Diary Of A Young Girl". It's heart-breaking but it makes me feel stronger. You should totally read it.

16. I love clicking candid pictures, despite the fact that people around me BEG me to delete them!

17. I love watching YouTube videos, especially covers. Honestly speaking, YouTube is far more entertaining than T.V. now. My favourite YouTuber is iiSuperwomanii because she is literally GOALS.

18. For me, no other song can ever be mind-blowing-er than Bohemian Rhapsody.

19. I don't know why, but I enjoy spring a lot. Yet, autumn happens to be my favourite season!

20. Christmas and Diwali happen to be my favourite festivals because both are so vibrant and filled with SO MUCH happiness.

21. I love earrings. I literally change my earrings every day. I've got more than two dozen pairs of earrings and my favourite happens to be my Owl earrings!

22. I love my owl earrings which I only got for thirty rupees and my Queen Elizabeth necklace, gifted to me by my best friend, Gangs.

23. Human psychology is one of the most best things to observe on this planet, let me tell you.

24. I really enjoy listening to music and running across the room, like the crazy maniac I am. Listening to music is really beneficial and it really boosts me up!

25. I love children. I really enjoy hanging out with them, talking to them and being with them really makes me feel like I am a kid too. People do mock me, "Oh, she talks to them because mentally she IS LIKE THEM." but I honestly don't care.

People, I believe, have this misconception that kids are dumb. Naive, yes. But dumb? Hell NO.

With this, I end my list of my favourite 25 things/people/situations. I hope you enjoyed it and I'd love to hear your views on the same!

I'm going to my native place tomorrow, so I hope I'll post about it on this blog and perhaps on my new German blog too! :D

Yep, you heard it right. I made a new blog in German just to improve my language skills.

So if you know German or are learning German, then DO check it out (from my Blogger profile) and let me know of your views!

Stay awesome as ever,

Much love,
