21-Day Blogging Marathon | Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy

In the midst of the world locking down, and given the additional amount of time on our hands, I have decided to participate in a 21-day blogging marathon. This is inspired by the 30-day writing challenge on https://lifeentirely.wordpress.com – I have picked up some cool and interesting topics from this blog and customized them to suit my own style.

Hope you enjoy it!

Day 1: 5 Things That Make Me Happy 

I like to observe all the things around me and I greatly enjoy the little pleasures of life. Here I am listing 5 random things that bring me a lot of joy:

1. Books, bookshelves, bookstores: I find books to be very beautiful objects. What’s not to love about them? The smell, the feel of the pages, the happiness they give you when they are neatly stacked on a bookshelf next to each other, arranged by genre, author or even color. The sheer number of stories and characters they hold within themselves, and just knowing that you can get to be a part of all these stories, and meet all these wonderful characters, is enough to make me very happy!
2. A clean room: A nicely done room with some beautiful interiors and a cozy vibe is quite enlivening for me. Some lovely wooden furniture, clean white sheets on the bed, a colorful rug, and a neatly arranged bookshelf is a picture to provide great aesthetic pleasure. Add to that some plants and a big window that brings in lots of sunshine to ward off any negative emotions that one might be experiencing.

3. Coffee: I absolutely love my morning cup of Joe. I am not exaggerating when I say, that one of the reasons I go to sleep, is so that I can wake up to my morning cup of coffee. And when I have that first sip, it seems like all is well with the world. Coffee is more than a beverage. For me, coffee is a feeling.

4. A good song: I certainly take delight in sitting by myself, focused on nothing but the strumming of guitar, and the mellifluous voice of a person singing beautiful lyrics. Music is known to have healing powers. I personally find it to be as effective as meditating. Just as I like to carry a book with me wherever I go, I like to carry my earphones too!
5. Nature: I enjoy taking long walks in the park and observing the beauty of nature and greenery around me. In a fast-paced world, we often forget to sit back and observe the small things, which is what makes this experience even more enjoyable. The tall trees, full of green leaves, and the squirrels running hurriedly, the smell of grass, and the chirping of birds to provide a soundtrack to the sight – what a pleasurable experience! My favorite time of the year is when I get to witness a change in weather, that is, Spring (when I see colorful flowers all around) and Autumn (when the leaves fall off giving way to the winters).

My opinion on - Inferno by Dan Brown

[Warning - Contains Spoilers] Released last year, Inferno is Dan Brown's fourth book in the Robert Langdon Series, the other three being Angels and Demons, The Da vinci Code and The Lost Symbol . Inferno isn't much different from the others, it was a page-turner like all his other books. The story takes off with Langdon waking up in a Hospital in Italy and suffering from retrograde amnesia. A female doctor named Sienna Brooks lets him know of his whereabouts and accompanies him in his journey which includes a sequence of interesting events, involving, of course, a lot of codes and symbols, and the story picks up pace thereafter. There are various puzzle pieces that Langdon needs to put together, which are made up by a ludicrous (also, dead) Geneticist named Bertrand Zobrist, who [SPOILERS] wants to cut down the population of the world by four billion. He commits suicide right at the beginning of the book, but not before creating a plague by the means of which he wan...

Entrepreneurship in India

Editor-in-chief of MiLLENNiAL magazine, Britt Hysen, writes - 60 percent Millenials think of themselves as entrepreneurs, and 90 percent of them consider entrepreneurship to be a mentality. Let's take a look at the latter half of the sentence. Entrepreneurship as a mentality. This is what Entrepreneurship is perceived as in today's day and age. New, innovative and unique ideas are flowing everywhere, and those bringing these ideas to life are millenials, creative and fearless, looking for the double bottom line of making profit as well as providing a valuable service. Look back two or three decades, and the picture is completely different. It was a time when most college graduates were satisfied with the safety of a well-paid job, and didn't dare to look outside of it. Entrepreneurship was considered a phenomenon only pursued by the ambitious Steve Jobses of the world. So what has changed in the short span of twenty, thirty years? The Techno...
