Majhe Musings

All of us have gotten quite used to this new normal, which includes binge watching series and movies. I honestly am out of movies that I can watch now and I figured that maybe your situation isn't that different. And since we have all the time in the world, I made a list of all the not-so popular movies I've watched throughout this lockdown which I really liked and thought that you guys might like too!  (I've also mentioned the genre and where you can find these movies)  And I know this post is 1 month late but better late than never... Comedy:- Pitch Perfect- Amazon Prime Pitch Perfect 3- Netflix Murder Mystery- Netflix Miss Congeniality- Netflix Get Smart- Netflix Thriller:- The Client- Amazon Prime The Meg- Netflix Gravity- Amazon Prime Horror:- A Quiet Place- Netflix Bird Box- Netflix Lights Out- Amazon Prime The Nun- Amazon Prime Action:- Charlie's Angels- Amazon Prime Bumblebee- Amazon Prime Ready Player One- Amazon Prime Barely Lethal- Netflix Rom-Com:- Two Weeks...

This lock down  has been rather great, except for the fact that I couldn't go out and meet my friends. But let's face it, haven't we all found a new hobby or maybe started doing something productive which we never thought we'll like? My family has been very productive, and that includes my grandma starting the TV exactly 10 seconds before Mahabharata starts. My mom, who rarely cooked, has become the next master chef. In the last few days, my house has become a restaurant with different types of cuisine everyday. We have had Maharashtrian, Punjabi, Italian Continental and even chaat. Although the one thing that came free with the cooking was my mom's exceptionally lame jokes! Trust me, you do not want to hear those jokes. My dad on the other hand, has been diligently doing yoga everyday and yet does not complain about the amount of times I disturb him. When it comes to me, I have been obsessed with n number of things. Some of them being, room makeover, baking and the...

Who doesn't like garlic bread? What makes it so tasty, is the perfect combination of cheese and garlic! This recipe especially, has a memorable story behind it... One of my best friends (who I've known since I was three) and I were at my house studying (since both of us had the same history textbooks) but ended up showing each other memes and laughing about it! It was 4 o clock, which is technically everyone's snack time, we too were really hungry. (I was trained to use the air fryer for the reason that it is so easy and also because I wasn't allowed to use the gas). So we decided to cook! And I'm not talking about making maggi or bread butter sandwich. After skimming through almost 10 cookbooks and websites, we found a recipe:- garlic bread! My friend was probably cooking for the first time, but mind you, she was skilled at grating cheese (she still is!). But overall, I think we did a great job. As time went by we made our own easier version of garlic bread, here i...

How many times have you been asked whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert? Have you ever answered saying you’re someone in the middle? If you have, chances are, you’re an ambivert! I am one and I know many other people who are one too.  Some people probably did not know that such a word existed (neither did my parents:) which is why I’m going to write about what it's like to be an ambivert. Ambiverts aren’t as shy as in introvert but at the same time, not as outgoing as extroverts. We like being around other people but we sometimes also need our own personal space to do things we enjoy. For teenagers especially, the words ‘personal space’ has a whole new level of meaning.  I personally think I’ve taken this gene from my mom since my dad is more on the introvert side. While my first impression might state me being an introvert, my best friends would beg to differ. Ambiverts can be completely different in front of strangers and in front  of friends. It’s...

Quarantine has given everyone enough time to reflect, understand and learn their newly discovered skills during this pandemic which probably is a blessing in disguise. And due to this, I found out that I can start a blog myself, writing about my experiences get adjusted to the new abnormal! Such ideas to a teenager would only spark at 2 a.m, whereas I came up with this 15 minutes after I woke up. Yes, I’m a teenager and I have conversations with my friends where we tell each other how much we want this to end even though we have absolutely no idea when we’re going to see each other next! At least not anytime soon:( Speaking of late night enthusiasm, I had thought one myself:- room makeover. Scrolling through Pinterest and saving ideas to numerous boards, I had the perfect room in mind. But the first step towards a makeover is cleaning. I was quite reluctant about that but finally convinced myself to do so. I made a huge checklist of how many things to clean, throw and organ...
