Hello so this is my 2nd blog of the monthly recap series. April was much better than March. I was very productive this month and for which I am very proud of. I travelled, had some new experiences,and focused on my health and on my studies I also tried new things . Well this month was quite a rollercoaster for me . And I cannot wait to share with you .
STUDIES AND CAREER
So , the first week of the month was quite stressful because I had my mid sem . And as usual I was studying at the end moment. But all my exams went pretty well. And the next week I was busy with a bunch of pending assignments and also filled forms for internships. It was quite a task to go to college during summer. We all have to do summer internships at different companies in June . And I am very excited for it. I also did an online internship at an NGO called ODISHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME(ODMP) . It was a short term internship . It ended only in a week. In this,we have to raise funds for the waste pickers and their families. I raised 550 rupees. I was also awarded a certificate for my achievement.
TRAVEL
Almost after a year we had a small trip . We went to Chitrakoot with our whole family. This was my second time going to this place. Honestly I don’t remember anything from the first time because I was only 6 or 7 years old. Chitrakoot is also called BRAHMAPURI. It is situated on the bank of the MANDAKINI River. We went to Chitrakoot through our car . It took 5 hours to reach there. The first day was quite tiring. We reached almost at 2 p.m. In the evening we went to hanumant dhara and also went boating and saw the aarti . The weather was so good in the evening. The slow wind and silent waves of water made the aarti more mesmerizing. It was very soothing. The next day we went to Gupt godavari . It’s basically in the cave . And the cave is filled with knee length water. And inside there are temples . It was a great experience . We have to go inside the cave without sandals. When we were walking there it was like the stones were giving us free accupressure massages on our feet. At that time the stones were hurting on our feet but when we came out it was quite relaxing. Then we did parikrama at kamta devi mandir. It was almost 5.5km . On the last day we went to ram darshan temple. It was a beautiful temple telling the story of shree ram through sculpture and painting. The painting and the sculpture were very realistic and were very interesting. And that was our small trip . It was so peaceful there . The vibe and the aura was so positive. It is the truth that true peace is found in the temples.
EXPLORING NEW THINGS
This month I tried cooking. Honestly I love Cooking. But in the past few months I haven’t cooked anything. Well this month I also cooked a whole dinner for family. And the highlight is they loved it. I also tried some new recipes. Some were good and some were really bad . But still I tried it. Also I tried to be a little regular on WordPress. Well I failed cause I only posted 1 or 2 blogs . Honestly these days I am not able to be creative . I want to but I can’t. I literally have no ideas and even if I get ideas and I am not able to express them . But I will make sure this month I will recover from it. I also started reading a new book called “FAULT IN OUR STARS” . Well I haven’t finished it yet . But I saw the movie a long time ago. So I have a bit of an idea ..
MENTAL HEALTH
The start of the month was great. I travelled studied etc. But the month ended in a bad way. My mental peace was totally disturbed. I felt a lot left out . I felt under confident. There were some misunderstandings between me and my friends. I felt a little lonely. I tried to explain but in the end every one thinks I am the bad person. These things disturbed me a lot . For the past few days I have been lacking confidence in everything . Like I wrote a blog a few days ago expressing my feelings about being left out but I was very nervous and because of my under confidence it is still on my drafts . But one thing which makes me happy is my best friend. He stood by Me all the time .He took my stand when everyone was against me . And it gives me a sigh of relief that there is a person who understands my thoughts and feelings and respects them. To be a little more Positive I started a new habit of going on a walk early in the morning . And it worked for me. It refreshes my mood and gives me motivation to start my day on a positive note. And obviously Music is the best therapy. This month I explored some new Taylor Swift songs and I loved it. I am not a swiftie . I have recently started listening to her songs and I loved it. But nothing beats typical Bollywood songs . I listened to old Bollywood songs . And obviously it was refreshing and made my mood.
MAY GOALS
I hope next month I will be more happy and productive. And my exams are also next month. I hope I give my best . I will try to do something new and creative. I hope I will try to be more regular on writing blogs. I will also try to explore more new hobbies and try them .
Well that was my whole monthly wrap up blog . It was writing it. Tell me in the comments about your month recap ?
