Hello, Hola, Ni hao, Namaste !

How's your day going? I understand that the title of my blog seems to have severe narcissistic  undertones to it but i assure you that I’m not at all self obsessed (okay, maybe a teensy bit...but then aren't we all? :D ) so i implore you to humour me as i try my best to introduce myself without making you doze off. My name as you must have read already is Tushita Kumar i.e. "too-shee-taa Ku-maar" (for the sake of easier pronunciation, I’m generally known as Tushi). I hail from the beautiful city of New Delhi from the Incredible country called India (tourism promotion much? I think so). I've just started with my degree programme ; Bsc. Honours International Business from the University of Birmingham (quite a mouthful right?) and since i have returned to S.G after a gap of 6 long months I’m so psyched about studying and coursework and projects (umm NOT), Actually I’m probably the last one to post my entry but i was suffering from an extreme case of writers block (along with a combination of general procrastination, laziness, homework and many nights of sleep deprivation!) but i wanted this entry to be special as it’s my first !! :D Okay....so here goes !
I remember back when  i was in my last sem of DMS and saw some of my seniors' photos on the sliding doors when i was waiting in the line at the DBS atm machine (which is ALWAYS too long) and i would think "one day i'm gonna be on that door" so when i went back home  to India for a loooonng break i signed up for SIM bloggers as soon as the season started so that i could be a step closer to that dream of mine. But the human mind is taxed with multiple issues at all times and after arriving in S.G amidst the whole new-degree-programme-getting-your-IPA-unpacking-settling-down-drama (international students know how it goes!) this long cherished dream of mine slipped to the back of my head add to that the intense speed at which my studies were progressing and the eternal struggle to balance college/studies with partying/ sleepless weekends (welcome to university, kid) hence i forgot all about it. I couldn’t even attend the introduction session for Season 6 bloggers because of my class so i was feeling rather clueless and lost about how to go about it (well done! More stuff to feel bad about.... sometimes, life is so pathetic, it’s actually funny :/)

  (best advice for stressed out depressive maniacs like me ! )

So it was a normal, boring  Friday when i was having lunch @souperlicious and ruminating about the many things that go wrong in life (studies, career, relationships, friendships) and how things never turn out as planned (yes, i am a closet depressive) when a voice burst into my train of thoughts saying “hey, i saw you on the glass door!”....when my brain finally processed this i ran upstairs, and there it was, just how i thought it would be on the sliding glass door...and for a moment the clock stopped. People coming from the atrium must have wondered why someone was blocking the entrance grinning like a retarded chipmunk but i didn’t care. For once things had worked out just the way i had planned and i had got what i dreamed of. OMG i am on a glass door !!!! : D

 (for the record, im the one in blue on the extreme right! kaythanks =P)

Seeing that poster at a time when i wasn’t in my best spirits made me realise how all of us make mountains out of molehills and in the process of looking for heaps of happiness we miss the small smiles that life scatters over every day. Seeing myself on the glass door with all the other bloggers made me realise that every day might not be good, but there is something good in everyday, it inspired me to make the most out of this opportunity provided to me....to communicate my thoughts,  a platform to voice my opinions on issues and hear other peoples views on them, to talk about stuff i care about. Its funny how one moment can change an entire day right? You have to feel it to believe it :)
This amateurish, self-obsessive, narcissistic, annoyingly detailed blog is dedicated to that moment of utter joy that changed my entire mood, made me optimistic and cheerful for the entire weekend and gave me a sense of achievement. So pay attention to every fleeting moment as each moment has the potential to become the best moment of your entire day: D
 

(True story.)

  Since it is my first blog it is also dedicated to you, Everyone and anyone who reads it. It’s a silly but true story of a wish being fulfilled and i hope it makes people realise that dreams don’t work unless you do and for me my happy moment was a new start to a brand new dream, i hope you find your perfect moment soon!

 So go out dream big....and dream often, because as long as there’s a dream, there is hope and as long as there is hope...there is joy in living.

Live happy. Without Fear. Without Hatred.
:)
