Mahabharat in Quarantine

Just as I finished watching the whole season of Mahabharat today I had tears in my eyes. Tears of grief and happiness both. Why? Because there was victory of dharm on one end, and on the other end was this question troubling thousand others like me - "Was it all worth so much destruction and blood?"  Krishna said - When a tree gives bitter fruits we can't just cut the branches and expect it to give sweeter fruits. One needs to destroy the whole tree so that in future another tree can be planted which gives better and sweeter fruits." True.  Dharm yuddh like it is called was fought to provide a better and a sweeter future for the coming generations and it demanded massive destruction.

Since it's quarantine, my mom kept telling me to do something productive but it kept falling on my deaf ears until today when I woke up and thought why not? So here I am, an eighteen year old, ambitious, cheesy and old school sometimes, a little self obsessed but lovely and kind person and also someone who loves to write.  Completely new to the blogging world, I'll try my best to keep y'all interested. I'm basically gonna talk about 'Me' in this blog. My experiences, my adventures, my love life, my food, my thoughts, my principles. Everything that more or less revolves around Me but which might also help you in one way or the other. I'm sure you won't be bored because my life is pretty interesting to be honest ;) If you come across my blog, please pay a visit and stick around if you like any of the posts.
