Real Girl Confessions

You know you’re a real blogger when your titles start to become more and more click-bait, amirite? Truth is; I really thought I should do a post that lets you know a little more about me than you do at the moment. I mean sure it’s always nice to read about my travels or when I have something funny to say – or so I will take the liberty to believe. But those stories don’t always help you get to know me. So you can call ‘em confessions or just random facts or trivia but I think it’s time we got better acquainted. Here goes nothing:

I think my secret dream career has always been interior design.

I *heart* design. As a child too I’d find a way to get my hands on expensive design magazines. Yes, there was no internet back then. Yes, I’m that old. But even now I can spend and by spend I mean waste hours looking at decor (and design) ideas on Pinterest. Someday though I will put this little secret ambition to good use and design my own work space. Someday 🙂

 

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was my favourite movie.

Oh, who am I kidding? It still is! But growing up, I hung onto every single word in that movie. I totally believed pyaar dosti hai and was obsessed with the idea of falling in love with my best friend. Only problem? I was in a Girl’s Convent school and there were no boys. Totally thought I’ll end up alone. I love you to bits KJo, but no thank you for that one!

 

Nun-the-less

Speaking of Convent schools and love, I also had a phase where I thought I’d grow up and become a nun. Oh, don’t judge me! If you went to a Convent school, I’m sure you’ve been there too. Well anyway, so much for that!

 

I *might* just be the least domesticated person on the planet!

I can’t cook to save my life. I’m one of those people who were legit affected when Maggi was banned. And when it came back, I said a little prayer in gratitude. I’m also extremely messy. My cupboard is always dirty. I’m not sure I understand the concept of ‘folding’. Basically, I shouldn’t be allowed to adult. I know nothing about it…clearly.

 

I can’t understand numbers

Now, I don’t mean to offend anyone with a learning disability and I’m not saying this with certainty – but I have a strong feeling I have (at least a mild case of) dyscalculia. Look it up, it’s a real thing. It’s like dyslexia but with numbers. Throw numbers at me and I feel the same way as young Eenu did in Taare Zameen Par. And even though you may think it’s funny (I laugh at myself too), but I’m pretty sure it’s a legit problem.

 

I’m NOT a morning person.

And that’s putting it mildly. I’d ban them on the whole if I could. Seriously though, why must we do anything in the morning?! It’s exhausting to even talk about this. I just…no…mornings…can’t do…hate…. *Zzzzzz*

 

 

Of unbroken records

I can’t seem to recall ever leaving a movie theatre during a movie – no matter how bad it was. Now according to me, this is a pretty effin awesome record to have and I have no intention of breaking it. I’m so proud of myself for this (as if it’s some important Guinness Book of World Records) that my poor best friend has had to endure so many crappy movies because I just refuse to get up once inside a theatre. Also, because I’ve sat through so many crappy movies…my threshold for crappy movies is extremely high. Please note the pride in my tone of voice. What can I say? India’s Got Talent!

 

Make up Tutorials!

It’s so silly but it’s like I’ve suddenly discovered something magical you can apply on your face! I’ve newly gotten obsessed with makeup…something I couldn’t even be bothered with until a few years ago. I used to always make do with Kajal and lip balm. (And for all you know this is just a phase and I go back to that shortly.) But this one’s a real confession: I just bought concealer for the first time in my life! Don’t worry, I’m as amused at myself as you probably are. Along with the fascination for makeup products, I’m currently loving make up tutorials. I like watching Zoella and Akriti Sachdev on YouTube. Check them out, they’re really good!

 

And that’s it for now. I *really* think that’s enough embarrassment for one day. Do let me know if this was a completely pointless post and I should never attempt such a thing again. Or on the other hand, if you liked these little insights into my life or found them entertaining. I could totally do more editions of #RealGirlConfessions – so let me know either way, okay? Thanks for reading! 🙂
