The way I am bunking classes to make my own notes from YouTube lectures is surprising and it's only been a month of classes
The warden has allowed girls to go out and I use every opportunity to study in the open. Seems good
Some people are literally snakes and I found them, but as long as they are good to me, I am good to them
I did not want to go for practice, but I am reading this book which was about persistence and I still went in to do some light abhinaya practice instead of going all the way in. That made me feel good too so a little progress works.
Also reading this cute Christmas vacation romance. Gone are the days I would read them in one or two days, but if I don't read books, my mind doesn't feel good.

Went out to have momos and found the sky looking pretty
Revised Human Anatomy and Physio while making notes for Unit 2 in between lecture
Revised P. Analysis later in the evening and then I had no interest or energy to dance but I still went to practice abhinaya just so I stay disciplined for it
Listened to a podcast and currently reading a romance novel and a self help book.
I also need to complete and answer a few questions for homework that is to be checked on Monday

Went to MBA Garden after lecture (more like skipping the last one because I got my attendance done before hand)
Worked on my short story collection, currently on Satyabhama. I think the writing part will take some more time. The outline is ready, but I am not satisfied with the depth, so I am being patient and exploring her more.
I am excited to go home lol after 3 days
And I have left studying a little loose, but I am getting my notes done.
And got my dance exam results. I topped with great scores.

Had odissi class and I am learning Sritakamala which is a dance piece from Jayadev's Gita Govinda on Krishna/Vishnu
The Krishna Kalia naag fight will be in the next class and I am kinda excited for it because come on who doesn't love being a hero
Sometimes when I dance to and about these godly pieces, I feel the distance between God and a human decreases. This might not make too much sense but with the number of items and dance performances I do and watch it feels more like being a part of it and imbibing their qualities.
Also Battu requires a mental prayer before doing it especially in front of my teacher.

My sir cancelled class today, probably because of dance events. I was kinda glad for it because it gave me enough time to practice the items for the next class.
I actually had a main character moment today. Some aunties watched me dance in the corridor and complimented me. I was smiling the whole time after they left.
Somehow today's practice did not feel too exhausting even with multiple rounds of the same items.
Today's item list: Pada vande, Sritakamala, Desh Pallavi and Tisra Alarippu

I have my bharatanatyam exam this Thursday and luckily I had my dance class today to do the final prep for the things the examiner will ask
Which made me realize that I do get nervous for dance questions despite knowing the answer but if someone asks me casually about types of abhinaya or the beats in a taal I can then confidently answer them???
Anyway I have odissi classes for the next 2 consecutive days with my bnat exam in the evening and odissi classes are tiring for the body like my feet hurt for one day but I guess that's because of irregular practice.
Also tomorrow is janmashtami and I have to look up for the bhog to make tomorrow morning. I guess it will be slightly busy because I have to cook, practice dance items, attend class and then do the puja
But am I excited? Absolutely

Got my vintage washi tapes for my journals
There was a tumblr challenge about memorizing one poem each month. I did one too. O me! O life! By Walt Whitman
And classes have begun with the entire faculty coming in two days go. My internals are next week
And I am calm??? But I am grateful. This mindset did not come this easily
Did my own readings for Introduction to Biological Systems from Ross and Wilson
Read about Cell Organelles from another publication for semester exams.
For inorganic chem, I completed reading the textbook about Pharmacopoeia and limit tests
And for Pharmaceutical Analysis, I had theory class today, so decided to give a reading about the first unit before class about impurities, limit tests and processes of titration.
Did odissi today, but for maybe 45 minutes instead of the usual, because I need to prepare for my internals as well as spend little time on writing.
I hate skipping on all of my activities which I like just for exams, so i shorten each activity during exams now. That way I get to indulge in all as well as have time to study

Reading You Can Win by Shiv Khera which my dad gifted before leaving for college. Literally admitting that one time I hated reading self help books because I found them boring, but now I like them. I read all my romances and fantasy along with these and there is so much to learn about life and the world.
Danced 2 hours after so long. My feet are sore but I can deal with it. Winter and dance practice bring aching limbs anyway
Completed writing unit 3 for HAP and I am happy. Planning to complete the remaining units before I go on 15th
Also somehow majority of the college hostel now believes that the hostel is haunted by a dancing ghost which is me with my ghungroos and another girl who is an Indian classical singer and we practice in the Hall which is never used by anyone but us. Love the hype lol

Not too extensive today. Did Tribhanga steps, learnt the sthayi and then theory
Practices taal and sir took a mock viva for the exams
Today was the last second class in this house and tomorrow will be the last one
It's actually quite nostalgic considering all the places I have danced in
And I don't think I would have gone this far if I were in kolkata
I know things would have been different. I wouldn't think about taking up dance or even learning it seriously
So I now have understood about breaks and work for art. You need both to keep your roots with it

My college is still yet to open and I need structure and discipline back. My mother suggested to prepare a few dances for dance club auditions and events that would demand on spot dancing
So ended up with Jiya Jale from the movie Dil se.
Which made me realize I tend to underestimate my choreography many a times.
Also applying kajal even though you are dancing at home in a closed space does get you in the dancer feels.

Well college is about to start soon probably by 2nd week of September, so I decided to keep tracking my daily dance practice in this blog until classes commence.
My odissi class got cancelled (kinda manifested it today lol) but I did my practice for the dance items.
And since I have loads of free time I combined odissi and bollywood dances to make it a 2.5 hourish dance session.
To be honest july-august went away in uncertainty about college admissions. I had to study for new tests which meant break from practice again.
And now I only have a few weeks left so I gotta make the most of it.
Practiced Desh pallavi and somewhere I guess my right thigh muscle has turned stiff.
But the session was good ✨

There's a lot of dancing going on nowadays and classes have increased, and I am thankful that I started lectures earlier, so I can still dance, write and study.
Working on a new Indian romance book along with the others.
And currently I am reading Dorian Gray. Finished six chapters now. Maybe I will write a review of the book once I complete it.
I only Analysis left for the semester, and I need to start organic for the next like to just revise the basics, so I don't feel like a newbie because it's been a while since I have read it.
Practiced Pada Vande, Sritakamala, Desh pallavi today; each twice and my feet ache because it's winter and classical is to be done barefoot, so the little cold gets me aching feet now.

I survived a 3 hour practice today in the morning for bharatanatyam class today.
Combined it with making some of my own choreographies to some instrumental piece for my classical page.
Had dance class in the evening and my teacher told me that my dance exam went well.
Overall I think my stamina is getting better for certain adavus especially kuditta and tat tai ta ha because they literally burn the thighs.
Also I now have a glow on my skin as my mother commented. So hopefully I utilize all my time for dance before college starts because after that it's really going to be challenging to handle both

Had odissi class in the morning and did I finally complete learning Desh pallavi? YES
Desh pallavi is based on Desh raga and pallavi is a pure nritta item which means there is no abhinaya i.e acting/drama involved. It looks pleasing to the eyes and for dancers it appears easy to perform but pallavi itself has its own challenge to follow the sargam as well as the bol according to which the steps go.
In the evening had my dance exam whose results I will get to have next year or maybe this year if I get the chance to visit my dance teacher's eyes because she has the marksheets of three dance exams.
Looking forward to executing pallavi in tomorrow's class without forgetting the step in the middle

Since I have finished writing the wattpad version of my short story collection, I have now begun to write the other stories for the original manuscript of the story
I REALLY love my writing notion page because it actually makes me write and work for chapters
Also my periods are going on and yesterday was my 2nd day and the first two days I am not well enough to do much work, so I decided to write my stories and notes instead of getting any studying done, because during periods, my mind can barely focus on work.
Talked to a friend for an hour or something and it was fun catching up over things.
Also it rained hard making the night colder and I am so grateful for a warm blanket anda warm room. It felt so cozy
Yesterday for the first time in years I woke up at 11am
Watched The Unseen Sequence, a Malavika Sarukkai film, one of my favourite dance films I love watching to get back to dance or just to replenish my creativity

Did odissi today morning and found out my sir would take a class in the evening.
Did it in a saree and it looked decent for a first timer
My legs are dead achey and tired after double sessions but I need to build stamina and use all my time before college starts
Also I get to start abhinaya on Wednesday and shabdam for tomorrow's Bharatanatyam class
