Romanticizing my life
♡
waking up before the sun but staying in bed; basking in the warmth of the blankets for just five more minutes, staying up at night staring at the ceiling to replay the day in your mind, walking circles in you room because it helps you think, eating omelettes for dinner and leftover takeout for breakfast, collecting crystals, keeping a journal to write every thought in even if it's the most mundane thing you've ever had the displeasure of thinking, laying in the warm grass and letting the sun cleanse you, being able to tell the difference when the sun is warm and when it's not, the smell of the earth after a week of rain, napping in class, being the only friend in your group who knows how to half ass roll a joint, being bluntly honest and letting that get you in trouble, saying every thought that comes across your mine even when you don't mean to say it aloud, letting your impulsiveness win because 'you deserve a treat', being painfully aware of the assignment that's due in the morning but you just can't finish it, falling asleep halfway into a movie you've seen thousands of times, longing for the warmth of a loved one, being homesick for a place you've never been to, calling your mom to come to your apartment to eat chips and watch a new movie, having too many shelves and not enough wall space, not knowing how to keep a plant alive but still trying after all these years, watching the sky change and the clouds shift and still being proud of how deeply you've rooted yourself into the universe.

"It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people."

Day 8/100 days of Productivity
9th April, 2024
Academia
Did my basic math revision sheet. Got all those things right which I used to get wrong, but got those wrong which were right in past revisions. 🤦🏻♀️
I did 98 questions of Chemical Coordination and 77 of them were correct and 21 of them were incorrect.
I really like such quality short videos which are rare on the Indian science stream scene when all I see is 40 minute long lectures for simple short topics😭😭. I watched this video on law of definite proportions. (Fun fact: this law states that any chemical compound will have the same ratio of mass of the elements wherever you find them.)
Did the next 30% of ncert line by line video on Chemical Coordination with my NCERT textbook.
Made a revision sheet for Mole concept and did some questions.
Watched a video to get clearer on calcium homeostasis.
My goal for this week is to complete 10 Chapters of Chemistry and atleast 15 Chapters of Biology. And Physics lectures daily.
Non Academia
Watched this video on thinking errors that we all have and its based on Thinking Fast and Slow by David Kahneman. I should read that book. What's fascinating is that I saw an article a few days ago where David Kahneman says that he failed to follow his own advice.
This video essay on Machiavelli where the narrator said that its dangerous to subscriber to Machiavellian ideas but its also dangerous to completely ignore them. Which is so true and so wonderful. Overall, it is a very beautiful introduction to who was Machiavelli and what his ideas originally were.
Today is the first day of Nau Devi (नवरात्रि). Today is Goddess Shailputri's day. Shailputri (शैलपुत्री) is the daughter of the mountains. We keep a fast on the 9 days but since it's exam time, I'll only be keeping a fast on 1st and last day. Also, it's my first time keeping a fast during Nau Devi. | Good day, it was. Very peaceful. Nowadays bhakti has been bringing me so much peace. I got up earlier today and took a bath before 7 am, which is new for me. And I'd be doing this for the next 8 days, hopefully forming a habit. I feel cleansed.
- Tanishka.

don’t take this as me being some hardworking student who works well into the night bc wants to get ahead; pretty much the polar opposite of that is happening here (it’s the panic mode)
