  •  EVERYTHING IS ICY AND BLUE!!


    Christmas is almost there!! It’s right there coming at ya!

    Slowly it has started getting cold. A warm cup of coffee and a cozy blanket; with some tasteful movies and peaceful songs. Isn’t it a total mood? A perfect self time for Christmas and wintery stuff. Apparently it doesn’t snow in my state. But I sometimes wish it did. Could step out of the house in piles of clothes and make a snow man. But nah! Have never felt that or done that, in years! The only Christmas memory I have is that of hanging my socks in the window. And then I and my sisters were forced to sleep. (Because my parents wanted to put the gifts in it) Dumb we waited late till night for Santa Claus to appear!

    Good times.




    But for now I have this amazing playlist for you! You can call it a holiday playlist too!

    So this is a compilation of my favorite Christmas songs. I hope they give you all the good feels and give you all the festive feels.

    Stay till the end for a short surprise!!

    3) Christmas Love– Justin Bieber

    4) Hooray! It’s a holiday – Boney M

    5) White Christmas – Taylor Swift/ Boney M

    6) Dynamite Holiday remix – BTS

    7) Skipping Christmas- Brent Rivera

    (It’s like a Christmas repellent but make sure you stick till the end)

    // random life updates//

    woahh!! hello there:))

    its exactly a month later that I'm writing and blogging. 
    I hope you all lovelies are healthy, safe and happy:)♡

    It's december already and it's getting cold. For me it was quite of a one month break from blogging. But yaha I'm back now!!
    I believe there are a lot of things you learn as you go around in life. You face a lot of ups and downs, trying to dodge then all- the insecurities, fears and a constant if over thinking. 
    So i tried to change my playlists, read some articles and tried to write.



    One thing that has changed since the last time i blogged was-
    MY FATHER GOT ME A PLANT!!!
    <<< apparently I'm too much hyped about it! >>>
    I graduated from the university so it was more like a gift to me. And the best part is it already got its first flower by now!!
    Haha I'm a happy flowi mom now.
    and a proud one✰
    I would definitely suggest that talk to your plants! its a total stress relief. it's so nice to talk to them and watch them grow. 


    Also there are a lot of songs that I'm listening on loop these days. So I'll link them down so that you can add some of them to your playlists too.
    Iknow it has got quite vivid and has all language songs.
     <<hehe>>>
    my girlfriend is an alien
    dil ke dastak
    paradise
    i can't stop me
    khali khali


    To sum up this month of non blogging i have written a poem that i would love to share. 
    // tell me in the comments section if y'all like it//

    its a bright sunny day.  
    it's warm. 
    i feel safe.

    -smrutayy🌻

     

    heyo lovelies!! I hope you all are safe and doing well:)

    So since the quarantine I had been obsessing over the same three to four apps so I decided to change and switch to pinterest lately. And it no way has disappointed me. Pinterest is a whole new world. I’m in total love with it ever since I have started exploring. For those who aren’t aware it is an app full of images and videos and yea you can share these with your friends in the chat sections.

    You can create amazing boards and pin your favorite pictures to those.  So I thought why not share some of my favorite ones with you all.

    Also stay till the end for a small surprise!!

    So these are the quotes that can turn your dull or sad day into a happy one. I know just reading a line you can’t change your mood like a switch going On and Off.

    But the meaning behind the written will definitely put a smile on that gloomy little face.

    The following are a total set of 11 quotes coming your way –  

    1) Omg! Firstly I love the aesthetics in this picture. And just like that little girl in the picture all that you need to stay forever is curious. It’s the curiosity in you that can keep little things alive and happening.  I must say, one need not be anything else in this course of life but you should stay curious.  



                              
        2) No matter how bad your day was. Don’t carry the pains of today, tomorrow. The more you carry the unwanted luggage forward; you are going to get exhausted. That is why they say one day at a time! And ooh I just told you another quote too! find your inspiration  

                            

        3)  This time is never going to come back!! You know it and I do too. So why not just spend it worth fully and make the best of the given?? You understand this when you keep the devices away. And I tell you make this picture your wallpaper for you to get the depth of what I’m trying to state.  And if my mum is reading this she probably might take away mine too.  


                                
            4)As you grow old you realize that there are a bunch of things that are pretty much toxic while the others genuinely give you fun and keep you at peace. So why not do the things that please your soul more? Anything in life that sets your soul on fire or causes it to dance understands that it is your happy place to be in. Settle down. Stay there. Read this to know more.a self reminder  


                                    

           5) You are a free soul. A soul that rages out and humbles down. But remember that every storm might not be just like the way you predicted it is. Sometimes you will have to bend in the storm and rise up like nothing before. You are as resilient and adaptable as a tree. Who bends in storms and is able to withstand. You have seen a lot of things before but good things are yet to come. read this.    
                               

             6) Sunflowers are happy flowers. And I want to be as happy as them. The way they bloom to watch the sun. So yellow. So golden.  They are the golden light lover. The mystic aura around hovers. They are the creators of the sweet laughter. Till date I have never seen such peaceful and happy flowers like them.  A lawn of these and you sleep on the bush. The golden sunlight on your face. The petals of the flowers fly and surface. Could you ever think of something more pretty?         


                                                       

       7) As you read this learn to smile. Because what if you forgot and never got a chance later? So make the moment golden and your smile silver. I know the harder times wouldn’t stay for long. But who has seen the future which is yet to come? Gosh am I being too poetic? Or does all this rhyme just in my head? But lovelies remember to smile once a day and think of those green plants in this beautiful picture
          


          8)  I must say that it’s time for you to slow down a little. Nothing is running away. Don’t be harsh on yourself. Just like that new dress you brought. Cherish yourself a little too. It’s those beautiful eyes and the shiny smile that will help you survive. So why push yourself so hard? Slow it down and have some 


    fun.                        


         9)   You are always going to find the best of yourself right where your heart settles. I don’t mean to say it might be a person or a thing. It might be a situation or some place of being. You are going to find your strength there and yourself too.  For now you might be an imitation of something you aspire to be. But you will soon find yourself. Gracefully.   

                                  


         10)  So I have this policy! Try it if you like. Don’t think much just do it. You might regret it later but at least you did it right? Might as well do and then think. I know such things are too harsh. But spontaneous things turn out good. So why waste time in being afraid? Instead do it and lighten up your mind.
                              


           11) It’s the little things in life that help you keep going in life. These are the things that will help smooth your journey. And in this busy life of yours try doing things that give you comfort. Things that make you happy and joyous. Don’t just be alive but live.

    The October heat is so annoying and yet stepping out of the house is not that safe!

    So why not add some healthy and tasty shake to your diet? Which is cold too?

    It’s the Banana milkshake ya’ll!!

    I have been luring over it since a lot of days now and I must say you guys should try this once. It’s really easy and satisfying.

    It can make your sunny afternoon good and can help provide a good dessert.

    This banana milkshake recipe that I’m sharing with you is a perfect blend of the fruit and milk turning into something pretty irresistible.

    Quarantine has got me all good. (says this all the time)


    Ingredients-

    1 whole banana

    ½ a glass milk

    1 table spoon of sugar or 1 table spoon of honey

    2 scoops of ice cream

    Few nicely chopped banana slices for garnishing.

    Method-

    1. Chop the banana well into moderate size slices and put it in the mixer/ blender.

    2. Add some honey or sugar (according to preference). Mix the whole well.

    3. Add a little milk to the same and mix again. Make sure no banana chumps are left behind.

    4. You will see how thick the mixture gets, as you blend it more. Add some ice cubes to make the shake colder.

    5. Pour it in a jar and add some more milk to it. Stir it well.

    6. This helps you create an averagely thick shake, which is perfect to drink.

    7. Add an ice cream scoop on the top and garnish it with the banana slices.

    8. You can sprinkle some Oreo crumbs on the top or add some jimmies (rainbow sprinkles) to make it look serve ready!

    Tips- you can add peanut butter in the mixture and blend it to make it healthier.




     

    It will take a total of just 10 minutes for this homemade banana milkshake to be all set and ready!!

     

    tell me in the comments section below, your favorite go to dessert!!

     "Everybody grows at different rates!"

    So the poem given below is my 1 am thought. It’s me writing about figuring where am I actually heading to.


     sometimes it feels like running in a desert in search of an oasis.

    its a bright sunny day. 

    it's warm.

    i feel safe. 

    yet my mind is a constant wanderer.

    in search of something totally unusual.

    the cold winds in intervals hint me of something. 

    something i cannot decipher.

    it's alien. 

    still i try harder to get into it.

     but my warm element keeps me holding. 

    real right.

     i try to cope up with the world but my pace so slow, 

    i can't manage to flow.

    i'm running in a race idk. 

    pushing back the things i don't own. 

     

    It feels like running in a constant race. Living up to everyone’s expectations; a little of my own. As we grow older we realize everyone grows. Grows at different rates. It gets difficult to keep up with the pace at what the next person is running at. 

    You get a little insecure of what you are doing. Am I doing it right? Do people like reading my content?

    Such questions are always on my mind. So in the last two weeks I thought of taking a little break from blogging. I was exhausted with all the things happening. I had my exams going on; I had to do some writing. All of this was totally in my quotient. But you know sometimes you just want to run away?

    So I started gathering a bunch of things that inspired me and would help keep me going ahead in this journey. I totally love blogging. It’s de-stressing. The effort put in to write a post and to click pictures is something I’m totally fond of.

    Writing helps me express my thoughts and my blog helps me reach out to beautiful people.

    So I try to find inspiration through various sources to keep my little space intact and happy going-


    Pinterest- This is like my new social place to hang out. (ha-ha) You find a lot of useful content on this site/app. The pictures are so dreamy and nice that I feel like writing so much about each one of them. You get details about each specific thing you want in it. And indeed it’s a great platform to look out for things you want to. Haven’t tried it yet? Goo!! right away

    You can click on the below link and go through my pinterest.

    my pinterest acc

     

    Songs- I have always had a specific genre in music. A different taste of pop blend with some country music soothes my mind anytime. Songs inspire me too. They help you calm down. Apparently in the last few weeks I have developed my taste in music. I made it a little more vivid. I started listening to Thai music, and for now it’s doing justice to my ears. I would suggest you the same. Shift your taste and try!

     

    YouTube- Everyone loves it. I like how there are various types of arts and content put on in here. This piece of space is a whole new world to discover. I like how the creators put in their efforts and inspire young minds like ours. You may find your inspiration there too.

     

    Illustrations- I started making illustrations since a few weeks. These really help me put out my creativity; in something that would turn out so beautiful. I wouldn’t suggest you to do the same. But you can scribble something maybe? Or maybe paint something down! It’s amazing how the colours would inspire you to do something. ( the above illustration is done by me! hehe!)

     

    The sky- For those reading my blogs for a long time, y’all must have noticed how much I adore pretty skies. And these are certainly my biggest inspiration to write and click pictures. It’s the sky that hints you to keep going no matter what in life. But to halt, never stop!

     

    As I write this I realize how I could go on and on about all the things that inspire me. You must be having things of your own too. Why not write them in the comments section for me?

     

    When in life you have a doubt remember the things that kept you going. Everyone grows at different rates. And your rate is perfect. Don’t doubt or judge yourself. What matters is you being happy. Shining like a star always.

     

    Feel free to share your stories in the comments below!

     

    Stay tuned for my quarantine wrap up blog :))

    I have a sweet tooth. There's this connection I feel while eating sweets, as though they were totally made for me. A bite of that muffin, and the chocolate swirling on your tongue. As you eat you understand that the pretty thing you just bought isn't just good looking but is tasty too. 

     

    So I consider most of y'all might be like me the rest not so going. Though y’all can try this as your Go To recipe in any time of the day. 

     

    I discovered this recipe during quarantine. Quarantine has got me all good. I tried some too good recipes and I really felt like putting some of these up, so that all of y'all can try this up and maybe this can eventually become your go to method too.

    Its the CHOCOLATE BROWNIE!!


     

    I'm a uni student so these quick recipes are helpful, when you want to munch something and study. As for the others who dont have their exams now, this can be your perfect dessert, after both the meals in a day.

     

    As I said earlier I learnt this during quarantine, the things required in the making might be available easily at your home!

     

    For the crust-

    Chocolate biscuits like Oreo, bourbon

    (Red velvet Oreo would totally do too) 

    Melted chocolate

    2 tbsp butter 

    1/2 cup of milk

    1 tbsp baking powder 

     

    For the topping-

    Melted chocolate or Chocó chips 

    Vanilla ice cream 

     

    Method-

     Preheat the oven to 200C along with your baking tray.

     

    1. In a stand mixer / medium sized bowl crush the chocolate biscuits and make sure you dont leave behind any crumbs. Each and every biscuit should be neatly crushed.

    2.  Put the crushed biscuits in a bowl and add some milk to it. Blend the mixture well with a blender. 

    3. Add some baking powder and mix it well. Make sure its not too liquid and hence your batter is ready!!

    4. Pour it into your baking tray or bowl (which you chose to bake the cake in) the first layer and let it rest.

    5. Make small tiny balls of the melted chocolate and place them over the first layer.

    6. Later pour the remaining batter and use a spoon to push the mixture into the corners so it creates an even layer.

    7. Put the baking tray in the microwave for about 5mins. You can do the same on a frying pan and cover it with a lid and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

    8. Later as your brownie is ready let it cool down a out for the next 15-20 mins

    9. For the topping add some melted chocolate or Chocó chips as per your preference. 

    10. Or you can totally eat it when it’s hot, and top it with some ice cream and Hershey's chocolate!



    It will take a total of just 45 minutes to an hour for our homemade brownies to be all set and ready!!

     

    Tell me in the comments section below, your favourite go to recipe!!

     

    be sure to be tuned in for my quarantine wrap up blog :))

     "The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to  be happy. That's all that matters"

    -AUDREY HEPBURN

    Quarantine is about to get over!! And we all have learnt a lot of things through all these months. While some of these are worth carrying in our life’s luggage, while some worth to be left behind.

    In these times of life when we are about to step in a busy world, here is a list of things that you can be happy about. We all have a list of things that makes us smile and some things we purposefully avoid to stay all happy.

    So why not just add a few more to your list and make ‘living’ a happy process?       I have read a lot of memes where people say that, living is an unwanted span of time between birth and death.



    So let me take some precious time of yours to edit these memes of yours.

    This is a list of five things to be happy about. So let’s get you all, through it.

    1. YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

    A big house with a lawn full of flowers or a small apartment with trees all over.  Little birds nesting on the trees and squirrels running across the woods. That annoying crow collecting all the twigs and building his little home. And you’re watching this, as you study or cook. That, beauty distracts you; it catches your attention. Why? Because beauty is peaceful.  It might be a hot sunny day or raining all day long but I guess there is not a single moment that you don’t notice it.  

    There hasn’t been a single moment that you didn’t talk about it. So then let’s take out some time and be grateful to nature of how pleasing it has made our surrounding. How these things are a part of your day; yet are noticed the least. These little things make us happy. They give a little joy to our life.

     A few days back our gardener chopped a huge tree in front of my house. It was home to lot of little animals we might not have any idea about. I was shocked with what had just happened. Where will all the squirrels go now??                         

     I asked this to my mother as if I was a little kid. Though they all won’t go away;     

     I went in search of them the next day. And I found one. Now I make sure I give at least few minutes in the day, watching them play.

    zoom to watch two cute creatures.


     2.SUNRISES AND SUNSETS .

    I’ve had lot many friends and people go crazy about the sunsets. Parents calling them home, scolding for being late. However they would never miss a pretty sunset and keep watching it. And then there is me getting scolded by my mom for waking up when the sun is above our head. It’s in these few years I realized how important it is to watch that. And by important I say necessary indeed! In my earlier blog I mentioned how beautifully the mountains toss the sun up. The beautiful sunrise. Click here to read.

    But let me tell y’all sunsets are even prettier. The sunrise helps in removing the darkness and making it all yellow and shiny. But the sunsets are a perfect example of endings being wonderful. The way the sun blushes and becomes red. 



    The clouds start to make weather cool. Slowly and steadily the sun hides away. As you see it touching the horizon or you see it from the concrete constructions as he travels in the elevator each floor down. On its way when it’s almost setting down it winks at you, with a promise to rise and shine tomorrow. Now don’t you think it’s so happy watching them? Come on! I kind of convinced you to watch it.



    Even if your window doesn’t face towards the west,

    Make it a point to watch the mellow sky when it’s at its best.

    Now don’t be shy add it to your list,

    Sunsets and sunrises are a total bliss!

     

    3.BUTTERFLIES IN YOUR STOMACH.

    Oh did your crush just say a hello?? Did that exam go extremely wonderful? Or was it too easy to tell your mum about the new gadget you want?  Ha-ha then I guess I caught you at the right. Those times of nervous anticipation. The times of being a little shy and scary of wanting to do a lot of things but ending up speaking gibberish. These are the times to cherish. Yes I totally agree that you are all panicky during such times and what to cherish during such hah? But do you all notice that these are rare times when you feel something different. The times you want to make it all happen and end up making even more beautiful than you think it could actually be? Let’s take some time to cherish these moments of awkwardness. The times when you are all prepared for the interview or speech and it turns out real fun.

    lets be honest i can't put a picture of that emotion
    so here is a picture of the beautiful sky


    That long lost friend, and you wanting to get back in touch with a small text. This feeling. That exact time is something we all should be happy or grateful for.

    Because it’s rare and tell me how many times do you actually experience that??

    The time when you want to confess something and you think when you do it it’s going to make your life miserable. And you do it.

    Those butterflies are important. Now that may end in a sigh of relief or a disaster, is totally a different thing altogether. As what said it matters!

    For now let’s be happy about those tiny insects.

    4. WHAT YOU ARE NOW!

    When you look at your childhood pictures and you say why was I like that back then? Why did my little sister look better than me? Why do I make faces in all these pictures?? So many questions that are hammered by you at your parents. Then all of a sudden the album with your latest pictures comes in your hands. All the memories become clear. You remember that perfect scene. That time when the picture was clicked. You now know you were trying really hard.



    hey you guys I started doing illustrations!!
    for more information contact me:))


    Then in the family discussions you praise yourself. You say that you were good that time! You were healthy and fine and you tried to stay up to the mark. And then comes the mirror. You look so fine now. That smile of yours. Those messed up hair. Yeah maybe I’m good now! That remark. That small praise is what is needed. You deserve praises. You are perfectly alright now. It doesn’t matter who loves; that person in the mirror does. He/she knows that you are going all through it and it takes all the courage. Now quickly go there and wink at yourself with a smile for doing all that pretty things and harsh things. You deserve the world! And you are not alone.

    5. THE LITTLE THINGS.

    Stars don’t need hot water bath to shine. Clouds don’t need home cooked food to swing through the sky. You do! So why not just notice these little things and be happy for ALL the things we have. So let’s just make a pact to observe these things and smile as soon as you come across a few. For instance-

    Yoho! I used the toothpaste till the end that the packet got transparent! Small victory!

    I made a paper airplane today and it went really far defeating your siblings’. Now that is joyous.

    Or you got the best click of a bird flying high in the sky with beautiful blue clouds. Now that is worth praising.

    Earlier I also wrote a blog on these little things. Do give it a read.

    little things

    So these are five things that you can be happy about. You might like some might relate to some. While you may dislike some of them too. 

    Whatever your opinions are they are valuable for me. So please tell me your thing to be happy about in the comments section below. 

    Stay in tune for more latest blogs!
