Things I learned from Veronica Mars

I just finished watching all the three seasons of the show plus the follow-up movie based on the character Veronica Mars, and I love it.

Veronica Mars,the protagnist is a high school student who helps her father (who is a Private detective) solve cases. She also helps her classmates using her sleuthing skill. Well, as far as the High School drama is concered the show is like a less bitcher and glamourous version of Gossip Girl . It is a little dark at places and the picturization reminds of Alferd Hitchcock movies. It is a great and engaging show, which has something for almost everyone.

However, I love the show for it main character, i.e. Veronica Mars. She is the most badass person I have come across on Television. She is smart, sassy, courageous and confident. Her wisecracks and humourous exchange with her father are the best parts of the show for me. Well, as the title suggests I am somewhat smitten with her character and relate a lot with her and have learnt a lot from her as well.( What may follow may sound cliche and many readers would think that have I not learnt this from other sources as well, but this show has just reminded me of the these things again, especially at a time when I desperately needed it)

The most important takeaway from the show was to stand for what you believe in, even if the whole world is against you, however this should not be akin to stubborness; admit when you are wrong.

It also reminded me that being friendless is not actually a bad thing, it might actually  a boon sometimes, a blessing in disguise allowing you to find yourself and to understand who are actually your friends. It also taught me to be my own person despite whatever anyone may say. 

I also remembered how important it was to be able to laugh at oneself (Veronica did this by making blonde jokes on herself) and the importance of  humour even in  the most dire situations. 

Finally it reaffirmed my belive that scarcasm is one of the most purest joys of life. 

I think my decision to watch Veronica Mars was Godsend ( Don't worry people I have not suddenly embraced religion), right when I was about to give up on what a lot of people call "bitchiness" Veronica Mars showed me how to embrace my inner Bitch.
 
So, I guess the appropiate ending to this post would be, "The Bitch is Back" ( A reference to the last episode of the Show)

Just job things.

Okay I don't have a job, yet. But I am doing this online internship where I just got promoted to editorial intern, so now I have to edit other interns article and then ask them to work on these changes and then keep them in toe with the deadlines. Now, this is my first week on this job/internship and I have this intern who is already a day late for the deadline, and my boss is like- "Make her correct the article and ensure that she sends the article in the time limit" and I have already sent her a reminder email, what more can I do. Since this is an online deal I can't even call her or anything. How the hell can I make her do any thing, I am so worried, because I want to be promoted further and now I am messing up on the first week of my internship itself. Also I am in a dilemma as to what should I tell my boss, shall I tell her that I have sent her the suggestions and changes as well as the reminder, or shall I just wait for the intern to reply and then just give ...

First fight with room mate

So it is generally accepted fact that it takes a lot to set me off, I mean people give examples of my patience, seriously they do, it is no exaggeration. But now enough is enough, so I had a fight with my room mate, well to be exact it was not really a fight, I shouted and she just walked out not that much exchange of words and stuff, but one gets the point it was a disagreement. So now there this kind of cold war kind of thing going on between us, where we are giving each other a cold shoulder, now I do know that I may have overreacted a bit but my initial reaction was completely justified. What is done is done, now it is time to move on, but the point of ego comes into play who is going to make the first contact, who is going to be the first one to bow down and talk? And frankly I don't mind being the first one at all.

The Epiphany

"All I need is the air I breath and a place to rest my head" - Say all I need, One Republic. This line with a change i.e.- All I need is the air I breath and a good book sums up my condition pretty aptly. I know I need a lot more things to survive but here I'm not talking about surviving but about living. All I need to live is the air I breath that's the bare necessity everything else is just secondary. My bare necessities are not all material things, all I need to survive and live a happy and fruitful life in these next five years is - the air I breath and my resolve. My resolve to grow and to help others. Well why am I writing these things is because lately I got sidetracked and started wishing for things or rather people whom I did not need. And well in needing them I actually forgot what I really wanted, my purpose, my goal. I forgot why was I here, why was I doing law. But today is the day I realized what are my true priorities and this is a post to commemo...
