TEENAGE YEARS

!
Teenage years...aren't they super-exciting??!!...Teenage tears are those in which we discover ourselves. They are the years which mould us, into the kind of people we become in the future. They are responsible for building our future, good or bad, is in our hands completely. It is whilst we are in our teenage years, that we grow through or rather experience the ups and downs and good, bad and ugly of life. It is in this period that we go through the self-discovery process, trying to know who we actually are and who we will be in the coming future. It is during this period that we make some life-altering and extremely important decisions of life, some of which we have to live our lives with forever. Thus it is vital to make those decisions wisely, which is why some guiding force in our lives is crucial. Teengae years, through my experience, I have observed is the most exhilarating period of our lives!..atleast it has been so with me! It is while in this age that I have realised how interesting, adventurous and unpredicatble life can be. Life can throw some really unassumed surprises and sometimes really uglu ones too. These have taught me how to tackle life and overcome several hindrances and obstacles effectievely...ofcourse coz I am immensely sensitive, it hasn't been a cakewalk for me to handle everything alone, but it has definetley taught me to be patient and strong, the traits which I did not possess in my formative years. These have been inculcated in me in my teengae years by life!
Teenage years are truly an incredible experience because it is during this time we take the plunge into some really important things..education which matches our career goals, relationships with a partner which will last a lifetime, we also go throgh heartbreaks as well as incredible happiness and ecstacy dueto several reasons...(relationships being the prior focus!!! hahaha)... we come across so many different people during high school years and foster a warm bond called freindship with them, which makes our high school years truly rewarding and this is also the time when we prepare for College Education, the nerve-wracking application processess,...the excitement to meet new people, make new connections, foster some more warm bonds...make new frends...seek new exposure from the world where we live and so much more..
These are the years which carve us into future world citizens, which is why a responsible act is always encouraged from teenagers.
Thus all said and done....whether teenage years render heartbreaks or ecstacy...they are our character-moulding years....years which hold sheer significance to all....as it is during these years that we garner several experiences and everlasting memories that we cherish forever

CARING ABOUT FasHiOn AND pOP CulTuRE DOESN'T MAKE ME ANY LESS INTELLECTUAL

Hhhhhmmmmmnnn.........reading the titile of the blog..many are likely to be confused pondering over the question as to why I chose to blog about this....well....the reason being....today's modern age teenagers are transforming into people who seem to be immensely or rather i suppose, I should say...overtly fascinated by fashion trends...especially girls...that's right...GIRLS.....!!!!!

I am one such GIRL who I would say, is overtly fascinated by the world of Fashion....composed of tremendous glitter....glamour...excitement...and ofcourse....I am wide eyed to discover,explore and learn more about it. I yearn to know and learn more about it day-in-and-day-out!
I am also aware that, there are innumerable GIRLS out there who think the same as me...which is why I thought why not blog about this subject and voice my ideas pertaining to it on a global platform..!
I have often noticed, when I or any GIRL talks about what's latest happenings in the Fashion world...we are sure to raise many eye-brows!!...and leave many thunderstruck and jaw-dropped...assuming that we GIRLS are just plain wide-eyed babes who yearn to know and learn only about the Fashion world...and are least interested in something really really meaningful...thought-provoking and something which is worth pondering over.Many assume that such GIRLS aren't at all ambitious or career-oriented or attach crucial importance to education and being tremendously successful in their chosen fields....as stereotypes believe that, investing your time and energy into acquiring information about a new Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag or about the latest Hermes clutch that is acquiring its place of pride on the mantle in its showroom or browsing about the season's new hottest pair of Jimmy Choos or finding out who is the Next big Super-model is being unintelligent and not too useful.
But...the truth is CARING ABOUT FASHION AND POP CULTURE DOES NOT MAKE US ANY LESS INTELLECTUAL and our intellect isn't just limited to that. Just because we talk about Fashion and Pop Culture does not mean we lack knowledge in other arenas...we are only being 'OUT OF TE BOX' as we BELIEVE that a creative person should never remain in a neatly-labeled-box. We are definetly super-ambitious and Career-oriented and we are aware how pivoatal a role education plays in our lives as we know that the world is getting super-competitive and to survive and thrive in this highly competitive world where cut-throat competition is prevalent we have to carve our idebtity and be financially stable and super-successful and powerful, which is why good education is ofcourse highly critical.....but...at the same time...we dig our teeth into the irresistible Fashion world to attain info about the latest products which hit the shelves and also hit our NEXT-BIG BUY LIST!!!

So people.....please..it would be delightfully pleasing if you changed your stereotyped outlook towards GIRLS and try being out of the blues like us!!
The reason why I have typed the word 'girls' in capital throughout is to make everyone understand that we are more than just what we appear to be! There's a loooonggg way before you get to know the REAL us or should I say the REAL ME????
You keep pondering over this.....
