My newly found obsession.



So, As the title suggests this blog is about my newly found obsession. Okay, well this obsession comes from my already existing obsession with plants. If you have read my first blog post you know what I am obsessed with and how biased I am towards plants and also How  I think everybody should love plants. Now, one obsession of mine with plants has led me to another one and trust me, it is amazing it might sound weird to you that Oh my God she’s talking about an obsession and saying that it is good. Yes, It is and to anybody who thinks being obsessed with something is wrong. You need to recheck the definition of obsession or how you perceive it to be. So taking it forward and not wasting much of our time let’s start with it . After being obsessed with plants and them being the centre of attraction of my life I am now obsessed somehow with identifying them.



 

To be very honest it all started for syllabus purposes to be able to know the scientific names You know writers have this thing with words . We love being the ones most informed about them so it was the same with my botanical vocabulary and I started learning.  Who taught me that's a separate topic for a separate blog but for now, when I started learning how to identify plans and their scientific names somewhere I found it very intriguing and interesting. You know what you call as lady finger or Bhindi I call it Abelemoscus  esculentus. What you call  potato is Solanum tuberosum to me and many more such examples can be given.  Now, speaking of it scientifically the science of naming and identifying plants is known as taxonomy. Well, for now I know I’m doing botany and that there s a very high chance or maybe I’m sure about it that inn future I might be a taxonomist . So you can wait for many more blogs related two taxonomy and plant identification. As time passed this thing with me became something more than just my syllabus. Now that little piece of green coming out of the concrete on the pavement which I walk on has my attention. It is not those celebrities on

billboards but that little Ficus religiosa plant coming out from there that catches my attention these days. Also, Ficus religiosa is what you would you call as peepal .

 One day I was just watching a movie with my friend and instead of the actors and actresses and the interesting plot the only thing that I managed to notice was the Hibiscus Rosa sinensis on the compound wall  with Aleo barbadensis , Ocimum sanctum, and Vinca rosa which is now being called as Catharanthus roseus (had to ask for expert opinion)  on its side and also there was the Quomoclit wine creeping out of the window, while all of this was happening in my mind , my friend on the other hand was excited , as this was the point where the actress the main female lead was getting introduced to the male lead. This was the point where they meet that is where the music gets played and the romance starts and the movie starts to take off and where was my mind. Well , we had a different plant movie going on and we liked it more than the actual movie. I called my friend a movie buff and maybe I should call myself a plant buff  but then that is when I actually started noticing how obsessed I am with this habit of identifying plants and how even a little bit of green makes me think what this could be Honestly, plants and this obsession of identifying plants is an awesome discovery that I’ve made about myself .



I’m glad that I got to do it from this one obsession or new obsession that I found , I’ve understood one very important thing.  You will never know what you like unless you try it or try finding about it . There’s fear of career , fear of jobs in all of that somewhere we forget that there might be something that we are good at not that it's the highest paying job or something where jobs are easily available or something where a stable career is waiting for you, yet we don't think about the fact that if I’m good at it I can be the best at it too and if I am the best I can do what I love and a job together. This obsession kind of solved a little query that I had in me about what after this what after my degree. Now , I guess I know about  this one obsession I will get to know a lot of plants and might as well find a job and career that I might be obsessed with too. This was all for today’s love and I hope you find your obsession soon which leads you to another obsession and you keep obsessing or what you love all your life.

Somewhere in the middle........

Okay, so I have again ghosted this blog for a while, but you know, just got so caught up into everything else that it just became an “on the back of my mind” thought. It just wasn't coming to the front which reminds me of many other things which didn't come to the front either. Like I said, I was too occupied. But for this blog, a really kind person decided to remind me that, hey, you have forgotten about the blog, and that they're waiting for a new post. But now, as I am writing this, I reckon what were other things that I didn't do when I was too caught up with the things at the front. And also the fact that I never really cared what was important and what was not I just went on doing what came to the front. Now that I think of it, what if the thoughts and things waiting for me at the back of my mind were the ones I should have focused on? You know, I get it live in the moment, you just have one life but yeah, that matters, right? I just have one life, an...

I am a seasonal being

I am a seasonal being. Wait, I forgot to add human. So actually, I am a seasonal human being . What’s the difference, you ask? Well, a seasonal being changes every season, inside and outside. But a seasonal human being? Sometimes we change only on the outside. Sometimes, only on the inside. And sometimes both. The changes are constant. That’s just how life works. Seasonal beings understand that. Seasonal human beings… haven’t. But I think we will. The thing is change for us is still a shock. And the worst part?  We don’t have a defense ready. Apart from crying, of course. Which, again, is subjective. Because men "don’t cry" It makes them weak. And women are weak, so they cry. Or so we've been told. Some of us develop defenses, though they’re not always healthy taking it out on others, starving, bingeing, self-harm, even suicide. And some of us just exist while everything around us keeps changing. We tell ourselves we’re excited about change. We admire other se...

“Is It Love or Am I Just Gambling?”

                      “Is It Love or Am I Just Gambling?” “Last night, I woke up to a nagging feeling . the sense that I wasn’t worthy of anything. But then it dawned on me love wasn’t the problem. I’d given as much as I could, but I never received it back. Was I gambling, waiting for the roulette to stop on you loving me, hoping to win and receive love in return? Turns out I wasn’t gambling; I was hoping that this gamble would somehow pay off, and I’d win. I was ready to take the risk. Is it love? No, it’s not. The butterflies were there since you caught my eye, but the racing heartbeats and nervous eyes are still waiting to happen. So, I can say I’m ready for love. Again, I ask, Is this love or am I gambling? Well, I’m waiting, ready for love, so I can gamble and win. Will I win? What if I lose? Time will tell. Till then, stay tuned...
