Roller coaster of emotions?

Almost two weeks not a word written.

The truth is, there has been nothing there in my mind you know that really triggers my thoughts. Mmm..Now, how exactly do I describe this current situation of mine?

Lack of inspiration, maybe?

It’s been a while since I’ve thought of anything actually worth writing about, or should I say worth posting about?...

However; recently, I’ve been having the urge to write about a number of things, but everything just seems to narrow down to that one basic element – FEELINGS. 

Is fair the new lovely?

"According to market researchers ACNielsen, in 2010, India's whitening-cream market was worth $432 million (Rs.2, 600 crore). In 2012, Indians were said to have consumed 233 tonnes of skin-whitening products." - The Times of India 

"The fairness creams marketing strategies, which show that a girl can't get married unless she is fair, change the mindset of individuals. The visual media has changed the strategy so much that even fair people also use fairness product." Ravi Mittal 

Let's face it. It's true; we Indians ARE obsessed with fairness.

In our society, being fair can take you from rags to riches, unemployed to employed, transform you into a star or even a beautiful air hostess but most importantly, it can get you married to Prince Charming! 

The sad part is, it doesn't end there, thanks to all the celebrity endorsed fairness products the obsession becomes even bigger! 

Fair is lovely, fair beautiful. However, is being fair really everything? 

  

Long time no see?

Well hello! 

It's been a while since I last blogged, and for those of you who actually read this nonsense & somewhat care, I must admit, I've really missed blogging! I've been swarmed with so MANY happenings over the past couple of weeks that blogging took a short hiatus and it seems that for nearly every blog, sooner or later there'll be a day where the 'sorry I haven't blogged in a while' post will surface. And, well, I guess today's my day. 

These last couple of weeks has been really hectic. I've been racing around doin' a handful of things e.g. preparing for exams, doing assessment pieces, performing, travelling, sorting out WEX, etc, etc - the list is endless tbh! 

Nevertheless, I'd like to end today's post on a positive not. 

On Thursday, I had my first placement at the early childhood school, what a fulfilling experience 'twas! I was lucky enough to work with the sweetest, cheekiest and most loving preschoolers. Their inquisitive attitudes, bubbly personalities & endless amount of energy made them a joy to be around! It felt wonderful when they dropped me to the door at the end of the session and squished me with their tight little hugs! However, it melt my heart when little Lilliana walked up from behind, hugged me & told me she loved me. So precious! Bless their souls. 

Enjoy those simple & little beautiful things in life; and, make life sweeter with a cup of coffee! Good day world.
