I had loads of fun there! I became 21 years. Early this year I got a Wacom graphic tablet as well! Super year all in all! Addicted to many more vampire series and books, Vampire Academy and Vampire Diaries! and addicted to seeing Vampire Diaries!

This is probably the concluding post of a decade, and a wonderful year, where I have learnt a lot, I have grown up from a kid to a gal to a teen to a young women from 4 feet 8 inchs to 5 feet 7 inchs from 10 years to 21 years, to a better human being, a better friend, sister, best friend, daughter and grand daughter. This is the decade that I welcome many more nieces and nephews, lost many people i loved, made many more friends who i love deeply who i adore and cant live without, fallen in and out of love, made people laugh, cry, grown up with and grown out of, from frocks to gowns, from Salwar kameezs to Chudi sets, from Bangles to bracelets, from a point and shoot to a dslr, from a no no at art to some know in art.

Cheers to everyone in my life, thanks for being a part of my life, I love you all deeply, xoxoxoxo

To my dear family if any of u see this, I love u guys a lot, you have made me from a kid to a young women in these 10 years, you have brought all happiness in my life. I cant thank you all enough for it.!

Lots of Love

Deepa

A New Life

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

This post had to be written a long time ago, I haven’t had the time to, honestly! Doing post graduation in Christ University now, taken up Msc in Communication, haven’t had the time to breathe till today, nor the mood actually. I have loads to talk about, so this is one of the those monstrous posts warned you already!

So my class is pretty cool, it is not like FEP, very sweet bunch of friends, grown into the idea of being in post grad thanks to them. Hmm so college stuff, I have Decibel work, collecting and submitting good files to Father so that it can be uploaded. Next Media Meet is coming up soon, which I am very eagerly waiting for.

Designed Darpan again, like the green one loads more, and now the theme for In Bloom is most likely go green. Started designing for it already.

So apart from college, I am 21 now, last time I posted I was 20 and a fresh graduate. Now I am supposedly enlightened?

Well one thing I have learnt over this holidays, my patience has increased a lot.

I know when

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

I know when i am leaving college
When I am no longer checking my attendance
When I am no longer worrying about Darpan or Inbloom and a theme
When I am not thinking about a logo
When I am not staying up doing an assignment
When I don’t need to plan my outfit for the next day
When I don’t need to worry about my hair
When I don’t need to fix some part of my laptop, so it works in class
When I don’t need to burn a disc with some movie for a teacher
When I don’t need to worry that I have enough money, to buy stuff
When I don’t need to charge my phone often
When I don’t need to find a way to make the college logo look right in a poster or design

When I can listen to all the music I want
When I can see movies, peacefully
When I can delete notes and burn books! (I am not going to do that though, its only an idea right now)
When I can start making my portfolio
When I can see my photos and smile that I can remember life in college nicely :)
When I can see my assignments from first year and laugh how weird they were!
When I can see my internship report and laugh at myself, about how it helped me!
When I can see photos with my friends, and recall all these pleasant emotions!
When I can see my Darpan 08 photos and go gaga on how amazing they are!
When I can see InBloom 09 photos and go like that is mine! Yay and all the effort paid off!
When I can see Darpan 09 and say wow those are my designs and my photos!
When I can see InBloom 2010 and say thats my idea! Those are my designs, a part of me is in them!

When I can read and write this post, and thank all those people who have helped me through all these three years in Christ College!
I thank my class, everyone I am close to, who have eaten my food, who have criticized me when I designed something crappy, when I have done something nice, when I have cried to be there, who I have done my CIA’s with all the groups! I know I am lazy, and those groups that I have fought with, I tend to get closer to people I have fought with its a weird thing with me! For all those people who have stayed back with me in college for Inbloom or Darpan or a CIA, thank you all :) Or after hours celebrating my birthday and making my day special :) Love you all <3
