Productive Talks

 

Hi, I am back. I wont talk rubbish today. Actually I got my unit test results which were really shocking. I got full in SST. 1 mark got deducted in Science and Hindi. This is the better half of the result. Now, I got 21/25 in English and 20/25 in Math. I never got such low marks in Math earlier (I used to score 25/25). But I accept that this was my mistake. BTW I am writing this in my math class. See I cannot help but get distracted and bored in my math class. My Math teacher keeps teaching things, no... I should say he just solves all the questions himself and we're just present there to review his work. The teacher who used to teach us during the beginning of the session was far better that he is. It's not that I am putting the whole blame on the teacher, even I was not sincere. I did not practice but I don't think that matters because I did not practice when I would get 25/25. Maybe the difficulty level heightened and my sweet little silly mistakes have always been with me through and through. But last night when I started practicing, I noticed something. I break down hectic calculations to smaller bits by either factorizing numbers when multiplying or dividing and breaking numbers while adding or substracting so that I could get numbers with 0s. This is alright but the thing is it gets confusing. Either I overlook them or multiply then two times.

First Day, First Blog

  My Debut in BLOGGING Hey random person, who just caught this page while scrolling through their feed, welcome to The Shruti Blog . This is my first day of blogging. Frankly speaking (or rather writing), I've never tried this. I just got this thought of blogging out of nowhere. So here comes our first problem: what should I write about? You might have guessed that I am a kind of person who is never certain of anything (whose some credit goes to my genes as well). So let's keep it simple. I'll talk to you people. Yeah, like, I'll share things that happen with me and some anecdotes to y'all. Wait a sec... I just forget to tell you about me. I am Shruti, a fourteen year old girl whose as life is as tangled as you can imagine. But idk if it's really like that or it's just my mind which exaggerates (I am a teen after all). Anyways we'll figure it out. So, make sure you stick with me till the very end! Till then, bye bye👋 See you in the next blog.

Board Exam

MCQs and Board Exams Well, hi! I am Shruti. Let me tell you some quick things about me. I am an Indian teenager who is studying in Class 10. So you know, tenth grade is a time when people expect you to work very hard to pull off some good marks. These marks have little to do with your intellect but, I don't know why, are a matter of great interest to your neighbours and relatives. They have their mental record of all the children they know and rank them accordingly. Having 90 per cent above is a prerequisite to their definition of an "intelligent kid". I am sure that as soon as my exams are over, they would peep into my life and ask their traditional question, "board mein kitne marks aaye?" or "how much did you score in your board exams". But I don't care if I am an "intelligent kid" to them. Still, some part of me does not want their judging eyes on me.  This year, 2021-22, we have been forced to take objective tests instead of subjectiv...

Diwali ki Safai, Sweets and Diyas

 Have you ever been asked to clean your home during Diwali preparation? If not, then maybe you are one of the luckiest people. My heartfelt condolences to those who can relate. Cleaning dust from every corner of your house is hardly bearable. I am the type of person who has little experience in cleaning, so there is no way that I would volunteer for Diwali cleaning 'willingly'. Only mom's fiercely piercing stare would make me do it. Even if I daringly say "no", she would be fuming angry with me. It would take a while until I convince her to let me clean. It is the only way out of that situation.
