Potterhead Feels and Realisations.

-
As a Potterhead, I sure have a lot of dreams that can’t ever come true, like witnessing a Sorting Ceremony, cheering in a Quidditch match or simply being inside Hagrid’s hut. These are all as possible as it is for pigs to fly. The only way I could actually do these things would be to see the shooting of the Harry Potter films. But that doesn’t sound as great as being in the place of the characters. And as someone who can hardly imitate myself, being a Harry Potter character doesn’t sound that plausible, right?

Well, coming to the point of this blog- I WENT TO THE WARNER BROS. STUDIO IN LONDON. I am sure if I got a dollar for how happy I was; I would be richer than J.K Rowling. Trust me, it is hard to act sane in front of so many people when you’re practically dying to see something but you know they won’t understand because of the insensitive people they are?

We travelled by a bus from the Studio and it was all I ever wanted. They showed us the Philosopher’s Stone after all. I mean, that tells you just how great people in the Studio would be. On entering the Studio, this very generous person (bless his soul) handed me and my father a Harry Potter passport.

The first thing we saw was a short film on the Studio, after which the screen evaporated and there was a huge door, and not just any door but the one that takes you to the Great Hall. And the Great Hall was the beginning of the awesomeness and feels I was going to be a victim of.

After the Great Hall we were taken into a hall where in specific corners there were various Harry Potter-related props or settings. There was the Forbidden Forest that had me going bananas. The Gryffindor Common Room was pretty much my life. I couldn’t even react through all of it. The Hogwarts Castle model was just magical. I almost forgot to click pictures during it. Oh, and the Dursley’s house at Privet Drive! OH I WAS SHAKING. I WAS NEVER MORE SO OUT OF MY BREATH. I even drank Butterbeer. I never wanted it to finish. It was just beautiful. The whole experience. The souvenirs I brought which I’m never giving to anyone, too.

There were J.K Rowling quotes on the wall, Harry’s faces all over the place, the characters’ wand waiting to be opened, basically ALL I EVER WANTED.

My obsession of Harry Potter started sometime last year and through this year it might have reduced slightly (SHAME ON ME). I was pretty sure I was not going to stay a Potterhead for long (SHAME ON ME) but after the happiness the Harry Potter Studios gave me. . .

I realized that I was still obsessed with Harry Potter.

 After all this time?

Always.

When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore

A BOOK REVIEW: This story explains that you always don't get what you wish for, and if you do there can be many complications. It explains one of the most important part of  our life. It tells us that our childhood is something we should enjoy to its fullest, for time never turns back. The story has two protagonists so it isn’t exactly possible to hate anyone. Tagore begins by saying that namesakes aren’t always true- a reference to Subal and Sushi, ad their paradoxical attitudes. As they make their wishes they are granted, too. But as said in the preamble there were too many complications. This book actually was a reconciliation of four stories and I liked this story the best. Its author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a well known poet, laureate, artist and philosopher- he wrote elegant prose and magical poetry. His stories are quite sensitive, fresh and beautiful.

Stages of a Stressful Homework

HOMEWORK- SHOULD IT BE BANNED: PART II After coming to a conclusion that homework can be worthwhile as well as another thing for the students to sweat about, this post illuminates the stages a student goes through when completing a homework- before, during and after. Before receiving a bundle of homework the students, generally, are seen trying to enjoy the last minutes of their freedom and sovereignty. Once having obtained homework from one subject, they try to prepare themselves for the upcoming war. By the end of school, they are already analyzing how much of their play time will be compromised in trying to complete the homework. Even though, some humane teachers don’t ask for the submission of the homework the following day straightaway, but majority of the students prefer completing the homework beforehand due to their own explicit reasons, one of which being the fact that teachers give extra marks to those who submit homework and assignments before the deadline. The s...

The Story of All Parents.

Note to my dearest parents: Happy birthday! I am sorry I cannot give a better gift to you than a mere blog post- but words are the only gifts that can even come close to explain how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. I hope you understand. Parents. They are the only people in the universe who give you every single thing in the world and never ask for it back. They let you dwell on your dreams and keep the problems faced during the course of accomplishing it to themselves. They will always let you think that everything is alright even when they are under more pressure than they can handle. Parents will do anything to shield you from your fears and enemies but yet won’t be afraid to tell you to stop when you walk into the wrong direction. They act like a compass- it shows you the right direction flawlessly unless there is too much of magnetic force. Similarly, parents can tell you what to do and what not to, but once you start to take into account- the...
