It’s been a loooooong time since I scribbled something for my
blog here.
As I've mentioned sometime ago (or not?!!) in one
of my previous post that my interest span in whatsoever, is really short.
It means that my interest keeps changing from time to time.
Once upon a time, I used to read certain books, specifically
Chetan Bhagat (CB), Ravinder Singh, a few Tamil magazines like Aval etc; day
and night. Even during my examinations, I used to read these books the whole
night. That interest literally came down when I got my smart phone in hand.
Reading has now been limited to reading on the internet sites like Quora and few
other similar ones.
The reading obsession changed to Angry Bird’s mania. It was
the same case as in the reading. I used to play the game day and night. I
remember one particular night, the next morning I was having my internals for
DSP (dreadful Digital paper in my 7th semester). Just for taking a break from
the signal theorems, I started playing the game at 9 pm. It continued till 3 am
in the morning. The only reason I dropped my phone was that my phone's charge
level dripped completely and there was no power to plug it to the charger.
The Angry Bird’s mania did not change for a period of about
8 months. I used to buy all merchandise of Angry Birds. I had a bag, purse, key
chain, water bottle, MP3 player (red bird), mobile cover, stickers, mobile
phone danglers etc. Even on my lappy, I had the Angry Birds theme installed.
This theme consists of Angry Birds’ images from the game and also the sound
effects. Also it had a green piggy wallpaper. That interest in the game reduced literally.
At one point of time, I stopped playing the game. Ultimately
I deleted it from my phone. Then came my Candy Crush Saga. Not that I play it
on Facebook, instead I play them on the phone. I found myself immersed in the
game at late nights. When the game shows “No More Lives” it really niggles: P
Once I lose all the lives in the candy crush I play the 2048 game.
Then I searched the internet for the cheats and now I know
how to get new lives when you are left with no more lives. As a result, I lost
the interest again in this game too. But still I haven’t deleted it. Also at
times I play the 2048 and Candy Crush simultaneously. Actually my intense
relationship with Candy Crush Saga came to an end when I found the cheats for
lives.
And my recent curio is PAPER QUILLING.
I’ve been madly quilling for the past few months. I’ve made
miniature insects like ants, butterflies and bees.
I am in the phase of designing a logo for my page. Very soon
I will link my quilling page here. I’ve also christened the name for my page.
Started quilling merely has a hobby, not sure if I would continue it as a
business, though I’ve sold a few earrings to a few friends.
So this latest desire of quilling hasn’t let me to blog here
for sometime. I am back here again just for quilling. But I wish I do not drop
my interest in quilling. It gives me complete satisfaction everytime I complete
something, though it seems simple. When I create something, even it has many
flaws, however it still remains close to my bosom.
My draw key has a personalized key chain which is again a
quilled one.
After I started quilling, I started observing quilling anywhere and everywhere.
In the recent times, I’ve lost eye contact with girls who wear quilled earrings;
instead I keep looking at their earrings: P
Quilled jhumkas is my personal favorite. Whether it’s for
personal use or for gifting my friends, it has been my ultimate.
The delight that I get out of teaching people quilling is a
way too high.
Started off with quilling has given me a new wide circle of
friends. A group of like-minded quilling artists spread around the country, has
been a part of my everyday’s life. Being a part of a group of highly enthusiastic
and talented quilling artists in a WhatsApp group has paid me a great deal of
inspiration to keep quilling.
So we discuss everything about quilling and other crafts
everyday.
But just like any other employed professional, I am lazy
when I return home after my workday. I am tired to touch my
quilling tool. But on the weekends I am boosted with energy with my quilling. I
can sit straight for hours together quilling.
This is what I tell myself everyday in the recent times –
Keep Calm! Keep Quilling!
