What I Learned

Posted on: March 15th, 2011 by Bhabika Joshi

In high school, there’s one major paper or project that you have to write every year. These are referred to as the “Sophomore Theme” or “Junior Theme” or “Senior Theme” depending on what grade you are currently attending. I am a sophomore this year, in other words, a 10th grade. Instead of worrying about my [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

How To Get Organized

Posted on: December 23rd, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

Getting things organized and in place is a very stressful thing to do, I’ve realized, especially around the middle of the school year. Usually, around this time, the first semester ends, so the dreadful semester exams come flying. A week after winter break, I’ve already got at least one exam lined up in every single [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Posted on: September 6th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

When was the last time you were in sixth grade? Last year, four years ago, or maybe even ten years ago? It’s true that we don’t retain all the information we learned from times ago, but who kno.ws. You might surprise yourself! This is originally taken from the game show, “Are You Smarter Than A [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

August 2nd – August 8th

Posted on: August 3rd, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

It seems like yesterday when the school bell rang, “Free at last! Free at last!”, but believe it or not school starts in exactly three weeks. Well, for me it does. For someone else it might be two and to another, four. Whatever the number of weeks till school, the countdown has definitely begun. From back-to-school [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Living With The Past

Posted on: July 13th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

Excerpts from my next novel, modified to fit my life: It’s not a wonder that you wish for things that aren’t in your periphery. A vision of sorts is always on the back of your mind, a better life, the grass that is truly greener on the other side. Your face looks better on Megan [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Week of June 28 – July 5

Posted on: June 29th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

It’s almost impossible to find someone without an iPod or iPhone or the new iPad nowadays. If you’re reading this, you or someone in your family probably has one (if not all) of the three, don’t they? Since the release of the iPod in 2001, almost 300,000,000 iPods have been sold. How big is that? Well, [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

4th Week of June

Posted on: June 22nd, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

What have you been watching for this last week? What will you watch for the next month. Here’s my guess: it rhymes with Corld Wup. Well, you’re not the only one. Welcome to the viewing pleasure of FIFA World Cup 2010. Any where from the controversy of the Jabulani ball that has slipped the hands of [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

First Week of June

Posted on: May 31st, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

There’s only one word running through the mind of millions of kids right now: S.U.M.M.E.R. The school year is over. Whether you’re about to be the top dog or the fresh fish, new experiences await. Some people are proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish this year. Others are not. Around my own school, [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Week of May 2-8

Posted on: May 3rd, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

I stared at the blank mass of html gone crazy. Well, a blank mass of nothing on the computer screen, anyways. How long had I stared at that thing? It kind of disgusted me now. Like how forty dollars worth of a single fish looks nasty after sitting in the refrigerator for over a week. [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

qwerty.doc

Posted on: April 6th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

Before I begin with my post, here is the actual title of this week’s blog: Second Week of April. My previous title made you open this post though, didn’t it? Yes, there is actually a reason why my blog is entitled “qwerty.doc” this week. Let’s be serious, here. How many of you guys have ever [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Third Week of March

Posted on: March 15th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

I completely apologize for not posting last week. I had this blog written and ready two day earlier, ready to post on Monday morning. Sunday night I was up half the night coughing and couldn’t even wake up to go to school. I did manage to attend school after an hour or so, and after [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Fifth Week of February, First Week of March

Posted on: March 1st, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

It’s that time of year again. The time when God can’t decide whether Texas should get cold weather or hot weather. So, instead of basking in the sun like people in Los Angeles or shoveling snow from the driveway like Boston, Texans are stuck at home with fevers, coughs, seasonal allergies, and runny noses. Well, [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

2nd Week of February

Posted on: February 7th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

Woo! If you saw my desk right now…wait! You couldn’t see my desk right now because it is stacked with about three feet of homework. This would have to be my best reason for not delivering a blog for two weeks. I really would like to apologize, but I think if you’ve ever been to high [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Fourth Week of January

Posted on: January 18th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

When you came into this world, you were innocent. A small bundle of joy, carried around with precious care. When you coughed, a thousand hearts would stop with fear. When you smiled, they pumped right back into reality. Through the years, you slowly left your mother and your father; ventured out into your own life, [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]

Third Week of January

Posted on: January 11th, 2010 by Bhabika Joshi

My, oh, my! Third week of January already? By this time, half the people who had resolutions have probably decided it’s too hard to proclaim and quit, while the other half have accomplished whatever it was they planned to do in “twenty-ten”. If you guys don’t know yet, I published my first novel, Mortals: Hayden [Read the Rest...] [Read more...]
