journal entry #1


During the Pandemic, I developed this habit of listening to podcasts because I was isolated, left alone with my thoughts, and it was comforting to hear people so close to your ears talk about everything under the sun and one of my favorite podcasts was this one I will uncover for you in this blog. 

Now I'm not marketing for this creator or anything, but I was truly in awe of his work, the conceptualization of his idea, and how it made me feel as an audience, he was definitely doing something right, didnt realize WHAT then! 

If I had to make sense of it now, I guess it was his passion to narrate stories and let his audience think over it, rather....wait, brood over it like an owl. For a person such as me who faces a lot of difficulties concentrating, being consistent, and having an attention span, his podcasts were short, crisp, bite-sized, concisely described, with no abject end, and even if it was; one was open to their own interpretation and I yearn for art that gives me the ability to derive its own end, its own plot, I've always aspired to do that. I hope I can do some of it. 

Circling back to the podcast, it is one of the most potent reasons I thought I could pull something like that off, perhaps what led to the revival of my "in stealth blog" and thereby my ability to write. 

oh also, the podcast I was talking about is 365 Stories I Want To Tell You... by Caveh Zahedi :)

My first blog .

Hello there and Welcome to my NOT SO SECRET online diary. I would like to identify it that way until I find a suitable writing niche for myself and on second thoughts I don't want to fill up book pages , it's damn exhausting and it being thrown away to the scrap dealer just to fetch some pocket penny which is added to your piggy bank is not worth the efforts . Hence here I present to you 'Perhaps'  (drumrolls) . Also the creative that you see at the beginning of the blog has been designed by me and I owe it's inspiration to "THE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID" :D.  Uff !! Cutting off this trash talk , I'd take a moment to introduce myself . I'm Gloria Mathias ,I'm a student, an 18 years old, absolutely bored with this lockdown ,alike all teenagers, trying to figure something out on my own to feel a sense of individuality. I've been eagerly trying to understand how uncertain my future is going to be and how everything will be a mess, howev...

Just a thought .

Hello there..... I hope you've missed me cause I have :^) Loads of things happened this month and honestly I'm in a stew, how July has swept into its last phase too. This month itself, one of the days when I was lazing around a very small thing occupies my attention and I find myself wondering. Does that happened to you?  If not, I consider myself different ! &  If "yes" then 'Fist bump'. Just a small thought, 'Two people in the same house, share a similar moment.Well before even your creative juices flow and perceive the unwanted i'd like to burst the imaginative bubbles of yours, its nothing of that sort.'  Maybe it's a Wednesday, I barely remember, almost afternoon. We had breakfast, had our ears to some excruciating news and we seem disappointed, not surprised though.  The day goes by, my sister heads to her cosy spot - the bedroom, my mother walks up to the kitchen and I am seated in the living room trying to decide; how t...

This lockdown, Unlock happiness.

A glance at my home calendar made me realize that August has a plethora of festivals taking place but there is not much hullabaloo and how can I expect any. I remember how in pre-corona times, the months of August and September were famous for their bank holidays and how we would eagerly wait for Ganpati vacation  and modaks . "Good old days" I spent a fair amount of time over this thought and noted that festivals in lockdown made us realize how fortunate we are and were and low-key took that for granted. I believe a society is formed, and established by mere connection and social interaction but its cohesion and oneness are fueled by celebrations and festivals. They assert inclusiveness enhances understanding within the community and strengthens the social fabric. They attempt to create a shift from the mundane happenings of everyday life and also instill a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm.  Bu...
