I Am Made of You, Too

We carry small fragments of the people we meet. Maybe it’s a habit of theirs, the way they say certain words, without even realizing it, we carry them with us. Regardless of whether we stay in touch or part ways, a small part of them remains. Most of the time, we don’t even notice. If I were to look closely at myself to see which parts of me carry them, it would take time. Today, I am taking that time. I am sitting down to write, to remember the people with whom I once shared a common space. I thought of writing a 2025 recap, but I think this is a better way to remember the people who mattered, or simply those who contributed, knowingly or unknowingly, to who I am today. These memories don’t always hold warmth; some come with gut-wrenching pain that I endured this year. And I carried those fragments too, because at the end of the day, they also made me who I am. When I thought about writing a recap, the one thing that kept returning to me was people . The most significant thing I ...

Grateful for the Chaos: The People Who Make Life Beautiful

Hey fellass,

First off, let me apologize for ghosting you all. I know I left you hanging with my blogs, and I’m genuinely sorry about that. Some of you even texted and checked in on me, which, honestly, melted my heart. Life was moving at lightning speed, and I got so caught up in everything that blogging slipped my mind. But hey, exams are over, my brain finally has some breathing room, and here I am, back, and better (or at least more organized). I promise not to pull a disappearing act again because this is what I truly love, talking to you all. Thank you for sticking around and caring about my random musings. It’s my turn to return the favor now!

So, how’s life treating you? I know you’re here to catch up with me, and trust me, I’ve got stories for you. It’s been a lot. Can we talk about how my first semester just vanished into thin air? Like, I blinked, and here we are, almost six months since I moved here! Time is really doing a Usain Bolt sprint.

Now, let’s not overhype it. I won’t say, “Oh, I’ve transformed into this wise, worldly person, and my life has been a movie.” Nope. That’s not how this works. But I will say this: the past six months have taught me one big thing, people are everything. The friends you make, the connections you build, the random conversations that turn into life lessons, they all matter so much more than you realize.

Speaking of friends, guess what? I made some! (Touchwood, because I’m not jinxing this.) Not just friends, though, I found a home in them. Dorm life, by the way, hasn’t been the nightmare I imagined. My roommate? She’s from Houston, and she’s amazing. I was all self-doubt at first, thinking, “Will I get along? What if I don’t get the jokes here?” But nope, she’s awesome. She invited me to her place for Christmas, so looks like I’ll finally get the real Christmas experience!

Now, let’s talk about my anmol ratan—my ride-or-die group. I hang out with them every weekend, and honestly, I’ve turned into that clingy friend I used to laugh at. (Karma, right?) These people taught me what real friendship is—how it’s not just about laughing together but crying through the messy stuff too. One time, we stayed up till 12:30 a.m., spilling our deepest traumas, and it was real. We cried, hugged, and supported each other like those emotional movie scenes. Turns out, having friends like this hits different, and I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am for them. Touchwood again.

Oh, and there are others too, not “anmol,” but still precious! If my core friends are the main beads of a necklace, these folks are the ones that complete it. From celebrating my birthday to making momo, pani puri, and chatpate, they’ve added so much joy to my life. Every single one of them has made this journey special, and I’m just so thankful.

So here’s my advice, folks: treasure the people around you. Trust me, you don’t realize how much they mean until you’re far away. From someone who once said, “I don’t need friends,” to now panicking when my friends don’t reply to my texts, I’ve come a long way. Life changes you like that.

Today’s blog is all about friendship and gratitude. Oh, and don't forget to look out for the photos I have posted (as if)

Thank you so much
