Anya's Musings

Because so far it hasn't! And it's only the 10th day of this year!!

Anyways, I crib/cry about my life--job, relationship etc--all day long so excuse me as I try to look at the non-existent silver lining. Because I am told that's the thang right now. To be fair to me, I spent a large part of yesterday and the day before to find something to happy about as a part of the 100 happy day thing...and failed miserably! Not a single thing. Man, I am some Grinch, aren't I? However, there is this one good thing but that's sort of a carry-forward from 2013: I have found a loophole in my office's internet securities and can now blog (until of course the IT people figure out and disable it but I think I have a good one week before that happens).

What else is up? Nothing. A lot of melodrama. A lot of TV watching (Sherlock and a k-drama called My Love from Another Star) and trying to finish my reading list I acquired on my birthday. While I juggle my job. For I have one now.

Amen.

I honestly cannot believed that I survived 2013 (although, it is still too early to say that considering we still have 4 whole days before 2014 kicks in). In a lot of ways 2013 has been one of the best years of my life (I found true friends and emotions, a job = a paycheck, and a spine) but at the same time, it has been the most horrible year of my life (self-loathing, having to find myself alone with people who I thought would never hurt me, a crazy job, constant social pressures to "settle down" with a "suitable boy" etc.)...and yet, the madness that is this year is finally coming to an end!

Like I mentioned, I have gained and lost a lot this year. My wish for the years to come is that I keep all that I've gained. At all costs.

Hello, you. after almost five years of debate, I've finally changed my blog's url and name. It is now called "Soumya's Musings ^^" as opposed to "Anya's Musings ^^". And that's the only difference there is. I haven't been blogging that much because I've been busy, have two other blogs, have a job (kind of...and blogger is blocked in office) and basically because I am a chronic procrastinator.

About the other two blogs:

Because I wanted another space to write about all things book and book reviews, I have now started Soumya Reads. Like I said, I've been sort of busy or handicapped as far as blogging goes so haven't written as many reviews as I want to. But I am currently reading an Andre Brink book so that should follow.

Also, along with a good friend of mine, Hugzy, I have come up with the blog Show Binge. This was created because one day Hugzy and I were talking about old Hindi TV shows and how awesome or gruesome they were (depending on the show) and realised that there aren't as many platforms online to discuss them. So we came with our very own. You are all welcome to go through them and leave comments. We shall be covering Star Bestsellers very soon.

And yes, my real name is Soumya. But I think I shall keep my nickname Anya as my blogger name. Feel free to call me either (however, if you call me something like "baby doll", there might be a problem).
