A letter to my city (Part 2)

A letter to my city: Part 2

Hello beautiful souls! I know it’s been a while since my last post. But also today I would like to share about my degree days in Bengaluru. So as I said in my last post, I had never actually settled in Bengaluru till 2016.

After completing my PU, my family decided that I have to study in Bengaluru and then as planned I got into college and as everyone I made friends and when everything was pretty basic I was introduced into this amazing club in my college and that’s ‘Theatrics’. My dad is a Yakshagana artist so performing art was not new to me. But I had never imagined myself performing in front of hundreds of people with a spotlight on.

At first I joined theatre just to keep myself busy and I was also curious about it. But little did I know it will become my second home. This is not something to brag about but those who have been involved in student clubs in college can relate, that we will spend more time in clubs than in the classroom and I was no exception.

The team ‘Abhijna’ was always in the auditorium and lecturers were concerned about it. But our thoughts flowed in the same direction so we couldn’t help ourselves but do rehearsals. Our heart and soul belonged there and eventually we even won in state and national level competitions which made it a bit easy to convince our lecturers. 

It is just a part of my theatre journey but what made it precious was the people I met there. We were from different streams and we hardly knew each other but today we are no less than a family. As I had stayed away from home for quite a long time, I was not happy when I was made to study in Bengaluru. It was more of the fear of not fitting in. But looking back I’m really happy that they made that decision.

Though I left my beloved city again for my Masters, I’ll be back soon for good. Still it scares me a little when I think about settling in Bengaluru, but now along with my immense love towards the city I have got my people there and I think I’ll be fine with whatever that awaits me in the future.


Ps: Sometimes fear is good!

Productivity: Every high comes with a crash

  Productivity: Every high comes with a crash Hello beautiful souls! Here we meet once again, with yet another post on something that I haven’t stopped thinking about. Last week I was talking to my friend when she randomly mentioned the crazy amounts of unnecessary information we consume on a daily basis. This left me wondering! According to the Appinventiv survey of 2019-2020, precisely 3,739 apps are added to the Play Store every day. Ever wondered how much this affects your mental health? Along with your daily routines, be it work related or grocery shopping you store tons of information. Not to forget about thousands of posts you scroll on IG, FB, Twitter or Snapchat.  Credits: Quote fancy Our heart aches when we come across some death news, our blood boils when we read a controversy about our favorite celebrity or we fear when we see news about some new virus. When you are working late at night, say 1:00 a.m, suddenly you remember that a snail can sleep for 3 ...

A letter to my city (Part 1)

                         A letter to my city (Part 1) Hello beautiful souls! Hope you are happy and healthy. Today I’m gonna unfold the reason for my treasured fondness towards my city. Briefly speaking, my native is Dakshina Kannada and like many nuclear families my parents have settled in Bengaluru for more than 30 years. Until now not even once have I lived in a single place. I stayed at boarding school for schooling. Only for my Degree I came back to Bengaluru. Again for Masters I once again left my city.  Over all these years I have met many people and comparatively I have spent more time in other places than Bengaluru. Whenever I was asked to introduce myself, I would say I'm from Bengaluru. Some have questioned my love towards this city, while others have come a step forward and corrected me by saying DK is what you have to say when you introduce yourself. Today I’m gonna answer all the questions that I have be...
