My Inspirations- 50th post

Lovelies, this is my 50th blog post so I thought I'd do a special post on my top 10 inspirations in life. 
Right, so I'm gonna start from 10 and work my way to 1 to reveal who my biggest idol is.



10. Zoey Redbird- Okay, so she's a fictional character from the House Of Night series (by P.C and Kristen Cast) ever since I read Marked, and all the way through to Hidden, I thought, damn, despite this girls' family, boyfriend, best friend, and self-confidence problems she manages to battle evil and try and keep sane. She's a very strong figure and yeah she has outbursts and freaks out, but who doesn't? She generally is very very wise, faithful, strong, happy, and handles situations brilliantly and that's why she inspires me. 

9. The Bronte sisters- These women are just astonishing. Pretending to be men in this era couldn't have been easy, and writing such beautiful books too? Wowza. I have to say I have only read one of their books, Wuthering Heights but it was one of the best things I've ever read. I just look up to them so much. I always find myself wondering what their lives would have been like. It would have been wonderful to have known them.

8. My sisters- Right so not actually my sisters, but my older cousins. I have 3 older cousins who I have been extremely close to my whole life, so practically my sisters. They are such beautiful, intelligent women, and I love them to bits. All of them are so wise and helpful and I know I could go to them with anything, they have helped me, been there for me, and encouraged me so much and I hope I do as well as they have and become happy and successful like them. And generally my cousins are all amazing and inspire me.


7.Perez Hilton and Darryn Lyons- These men inspire my purely because they rock. Their blogs are so amazing, I check daily to see what they've posted about. It really helps keep me up to date. Their writing styles are different but amazing, and I wish I could write that well. One day maybe my blog will make me famous... (kidding man, I'm not that great ha ha)

6. Ed Sheeran- By now you must all know what a big Ed Sheeran fan I am. All his songs just speak to me, his lyrics are just uplifting. I feel so in-touch with my soul when I listen to Ed's music. He's just a beautiful man with a beautiful voice who speaks to people through song. That's all there is to say really.

5. Caroline Forbes- Another fictional character, from my favourite show, The Vampire Diaries. From the beginning in season1 through to 4, Caroline has been this kind of gullible, headstrong, peppy, smart, fun, pretty girl. I just see some aspects of myself in her. Especially when Klaus said to her "This town won't be enough for you." She is so eager to go far and she can, but she's restrained by her troubled family, messed up friends and confusing love life. But she remains happy and positive, she's always thinking of a way to solve the problem. I wish I was more like her.

4. Joseph Morgan- Not just because of his amazing role as Klaus in The Vampire Diaries, but he himself is awesome. He's more than just an actor, he's artistic, and creative, as we know from the pictures and tweets he posts. Also he's very into reading as he started the #Book Revolution with his fans on twitter, which I personally love because I adore reading too. AND, he did brilliant charity work, he raised so much awareness for Positive Women , and encouraged his fans to donate money, which was brilliant. He's not just a pretty face! Other TVD cast members like Ian Somerhalder helped ISF so much, and Matt Davis helped endangered rhinos. Such awesome actors and people.

3. Winnie The Pooh- Yes, I know he's not real and he's a children's character, but jheez the things he comes out with! Everything he says is said with love and thought, his personality is so cute, he's always saying lovely things to his friends, and is such a clueless yet all-knowing bear. Definitely one of my childhood hero's, bloody lovely isn't he?. 

2.My Year6 teacher- Her name was Mrs.Stuart (formerly Miss.Khan) and alas, I have not seen her since my last day of  year6 as she got pregnant and left :( But she was easily the best teacher I've ever had. She was so kind and considerate and fun and happy all the time. So motivating too. I really really loved her. She wasn't one of those teachers who everyone says is nice but has a nasty side. I've literally never met anyone as nice and pure as her. I will always remember what she said to me when I walked out the classroom, everyone was crying, including the teachers and I was leaving and she said "Keep writing Shriya, you're brilliant at it." and she hugged me. Bless her, I do miss her...

And finally...

1. Pocahontas- Of course Pocahontas! She is wonderful! She's gorgeous, happy, tough, determined, thoughtful, etc. I have always loved the movie, and how in-touch with nature she was. It's just very self-explanatory, I love her, she understood so much and was so eager to keep peace and keep love. She was incredibly wise. She is by far my biggest inspiration ever, to reach her levels of knowledge, happiness, and satisfaction with life would be bliss. And until I do, I will continue to sing "Colours of the wind." everyday in the shower. 

So those are my inspirations/hero's and idols. Who are yours?

My poem

Heya Lovelies,

You guys know now from my previous posts, that I write poems. So, the other day a friend of mine was feeling down so I decided to write this for him.

 "Friendship revolves around love

, and ours resembles a dove,

 pure and real and true,

 like Piglet and Winnie the Pooh,

 know that I'm always here,

 my lovely lovely dear,

 and so, the dramatic violins I cue,

 because I really really love you."

Sorry but I had to put a  Winnie The Pooh referance in, he's just too cute. Look! 

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.So it's super cringy and kinda lame, but it's not my worst. I think I've noticed my own faults. I'm focusing more on getting it to rhyme than the actual flow of it. So I'm going to work on that and remember that poetry is meant to be from the heart not the brain.

Any who, hope you all liked it, if you didn't that's okay too, comment and lemme know! 

Thanks guys, seeya soon :)

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day lovelies<3

Hello all,

Now, as we all know it's Valentines Day today, and that is a day filled with love and friendship and romance and cuddles. So many of my friends exclaimed how much they hated V day today and i think I'm the only one who enjoy's it!

I'm not in a relationship or anything but It's just such a lovely day, it's so sweet to see other couples in love, and to tell your friends and family how much you love them.

At my school they do a special valentines day gift thing. Basically a few weeks before valentines the sixth form start to take orders down, so students can go to them and order, a rose(fake), love heart sweets, and/or a message to go with it, we have to pay for it, tell them whom to send it to and their form and then on Valentines Day it gets delivered to them. I think this a lovely thing and though it is sad when some people don't get things, it's still a kind gesture.

Every year me and my friend send each other sweets via sixth form on v day and it's so sweet. This year I received 2 packs of love heart sweets from too sweet friends, and tonight I intend on curling up with my lovely teddy bear, a cuppa, and the love hearts and watching Waterloo Road in hope that Imogen and Connor get together! And then one of my all time favorite movies, MEAN  GIRLS<3 You go Glenn Coco!

So what are your thoughts on  Valentines Day? A cringey day where stores overprice their flowers? Or a great day and good way of expressing love?

Who's more complicated, boys or girls?

Lovelies, I have returned.

And today with a topic I thought extremely interesting. I was with my friends the other day at school(who are mainly guys by the way) and one of them said "Girls are far more confusing than guys." So I thought, hmm, I'm gonna do some research, so I got my good friend Lewis to help me out with this.
So we were in the library today discussing the complications of men and women and here's what we said.

Lewis: Girls get so many mood swings, especially at this age, their hormones are crazy and you can't tell what mood they're in, it could be happy, or bloody angry and explosive. Also when they ask the dreaded question "How do I look?" There is no way to win, any comment made can be easily mis-interpreted into an insult. Another thing, when they ask something and get an answer they always ask why, for e.g "Girl: Are you my best friend? Boy: Yes. Girl: Why? Boy: Because you're lovely and kind. Girl: But why? Boy: Because you're amazing?..." Girl : But, why??????...etc." It's endless, also there is no right answer, again it  can be very easily taken the wrong way. They get angry over very little things, like if you forget their birthday. Generally they're very complex, weather you're popular and happy, or quiet and secretive, they over think lots of little things and are very picky and pedantic, sometimes. They also get way too obsessive over their appearance, they spend so long when all they're doing is walking around school, guys don't find tonnes of makeup attractive, most of them look better without it.

Shriya: Generally (not ALL) think they can get away with treating girls badly. Weather a friend or girlfriend, sister, mother, in some way they think it's ok to ignore messages, and ok to leave things lying around, and think they will be forgiven and get away with it, continuously. Often they are inappropriate about girls. I know this because I regularly hang round with like 12 guys and they talk about porn, girls they think are hot, about certain bodily features, etc. They find girls attractive even if they don't like their personality, they judge people especially girls, on our appearance then they complain that we wear too much makeup and doing  our hair is a waste of time. They get very obsessive, again, this is a general thing, they get so addicted to games, weather it be minecraft or fifa, or black ops or just dance. What every they're into, I've noticed they get very competitive, addicted, and constantly occupied by them, it becomes like a way of life to them that they have no time for anything else. They should learn to priorotise  Some are very very narrow minded and don't think about the other things in life, like there is so much in the world, different places and cultures, and nature, and music and art, and facts, and sometimes by their behavior it doesn't seem like they are interested in anything else but what they like, and are unaware of the possibilities in life. A lot of them hide their emotions, it's not illegal to tell someone if you're upset, or what you're thinking! Lastly, sexist jokes? Why do you think you can make them, they aren't funny and make us hate you.

To be honest, everything Lewis said was more or less correct, and I completely agree that the majority of girls do everything he said, we are a complicated species, but you love us anyway:)
So we sat and discussed, and I took notes and debated and concluded that we have these opinions and perceptions not only from our own experience but from stereotypical portrayals. In movies and TV shows often men are the ones to cheat, or do something wrong so many women feel men are untrustworthy, and dishonest, and treat women badly like I said earlier. And women are portrayed as over-emotional dramatic, complicated people, which is why men sometimes exaggerate, and when a girl is angry one day, the immature ones are like "oh she's on her period." which annoys the hell out of us by the way, don't do it. 

So, what do you guys think? Who's more complicated guys or girls?

People Watching

Hello lovelies,
Well you see, I write poems. As cheesy and silly as it sounds they really help me release my emotions. I don't usually tell people about them. But a friend read this one and thought I should post it, as he thinks If I post my own poems It'll help you guys (my beautiful readers) feel more connected to me. 
So here it is, called "People Watching." I hope you guys like it. 

People watching
I sit as the day goes past,
Different people cross my path,
I sigh; take in the foggy, misty air,
Different people different soul’s different stories, I can’t help but stare
An old lady comes and sits next to me,
I suddenly felt the urge to flee,
But then she pulls out a cigarette and ignites it,
She’s not the kind of granny to sit around and knit,
The smell of her sweet perfume colliding with the tobacco stench envisions my mind,
And slowly, gradually stories start to unwind,
A war-wife, a foreigner, a mother, a grandmother, a girl, a woman, a sister and friend,
More and more options started to extend,
She may have found love,
She may have fought hard,
She may suffer hardship,
She may be alone,
She may have lost everything,
Possibilities run wild in my head, 
Just from her eyes, her soul I have read,
She’s experienced excitement, heartache, grief, happiness, and depression,
And then, around me, the air starts to freshen,
Purity and laughter,
And I know from hereafter,
I have been enlightened, 
My soul and eyes and spirit have been brightened.
