I've been getting this from a lot of you, recently.
I also know that a lot of you have noticed that I have been fairly active on Snapchat while balancing out on my equation by being MIA here on my blog and on Instagram. Let's take a moment here *sips on some tea*

Okay, so for all those of you who have asked me about my whereabouts - what on earth am I up to; what have I been doing all this while; why are things like they are, and questions of similar nature - I am Sorry, with a capital S. I really am.
The truth is that I've been enjoying myself lately, and for once in the last 3 years, I feel as if I really am enjoying myself thoroughly. YES. I am occupied almost all the time. No, working all day isn't fun and keeping myself unnecessarily occupied has been a bad habit for me. For some reason I have observed), I get obsessed with work so much so that when I sleep - I get dreams about how my model would turn out like; what if the design was oriented the other way; how I could come up with a different detail for the toilet (oh my so lame important). And to be frank, I got a little traumatized by all of this. Signs of being a focused student soon turned into my worse nightmares and my ability to enjoy anything in life turned into anxiety. I realize that I take things too damn hard on myself and that I would spend more time dealing with this work related stress and anxiety - which goes without saying, lead to my downfall.
I began to wonder what would happen if I take a day off and probably detoxify my mind.. And I did! (Smart move, Pragya *pats on her back*).
End of Rant 1 Part 1. Fin. Not really.
Part 2
Summer breaks call for summer jobs or travelling your way to glory.. And I did BOTH, that too at the same time! Argrgrgrg *like a seal* I was in Hawaii for my summer internship and boy oh boy, it was great!
So for the past 2 months, I have either been packing for, or unpacking from, OR enjoying my time without any care in this world. It felt like a breath of fresh air. Wait no, a breath of fresh ocean breeze. It was good, so good that I would keep my phone in my bag, let alone my pocket, hike up a few mountains, and go for a swim in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I learnt that Life really is a beach and rediscovered my love for natural tan. A little tan never hurt nobody, heard that? True true. *nods head*

I don't understand this weird transition that I do from dialogues to monologues. Sigh. Well the real reason why I've been gone is that 1. I had my exams; and 2. I wanted to direct my efforts and energies into my activities (the now) instead of having things all over the place; it's not like I didn't try at all, it's just that some things just aren't meant to be.

Part 3 - The Finale
This 2 month long hiatus has taught me a lot of things. I have become more introspective than ever, I stop to smell the roses, I eat shave ice cream to the very last bit even though my teeth are sensitive, I get a migraine and a brain freeze at the same time. Heck, I'm not even a sugar person. I don't fear height as much, I'm not afraid to fall down or try new things. I like people now, I was not a people's person but I am now. I have become a better person, I have evolved. I have learnt to appreciate things more and have learnt to not let some things get the better of me. I am proud of it happening in the best time possible, at least it did.
