Hey Guys, I'm delighted that you found this blog! Today, I am doing a collab with another Teen Blogger. And this is my second collab! I'll be asking her a few questions, and she will answer them. Well, who is the blogger?

It's Ria from riawonderland.blogspot.com. She is a sweet and kind blogger, and post unique stuff on her blog. Some of her ideas are so unique that I feel that why didn't I think of that earlier?!!!

Okay, so here's an intro of hers in her own voice (I mean in her own sentences!):

Hi guys

, I am Ria ,the author of Ria Wonderland blog. In my blog I write about teen lifestyle, fashion, gift guides etc... I am a teen with a big mouth who like chatting a lot. When I am not blogging, i like to read books , scroll through my phone and eat Doritos.I love writing, eating and organizing stuff.
I am very excited and happy for collaborating with Gauri. Hope you will love this post.

Okay, so I chose the best possible questions, and she answered them. She too asked me ten questions and you can find my answers in her blog. It's gonna be fun for you to read them! Let's start:

My questions:

What is your hobby? How do you like to spend your free time?
Which famous personality do you appreciate the most?
What do you wish to become when you grow up? Why?
What is your dream destination? What do you want to do there?
What is your favourite TV show/web series of all time?
Is there any movie that could’ve had a better ending? Which one?
Do you like sports? If yes, then which is the one you like the most?
If you become the principal of your school, what rule will you add or remove for your school?
Do you prefer studying from books or from videos?
Imagine you go abroad without any money or luggage. There you meet a generous person who offers you a help. He asks you to buy any ONE thing and he would pay the money. What ONE thing will you choose to buy? Why?

Her answers:

1. What is your hobby? How do you like to spend your free time?

My hobby is learning foreign languages. I love to learn foreign culture and traditions. I am currently learning Italian. Another hobby of mine is Gardening.

2. Which famous personality do you appreciate the most?

J. K. Rowling is my favourite. Her Harry potter series is one of my favourite books. She is a great inspiration for me because she didn't give up even though she got rejected lots of time.

3. What do you wish to become when you grow up? Why?

I want to become an IAS officer. Because I want to serve the people and also want to contribute to my country's development.

4. What is your dream destination? What do you want to do there?

My dream destination is Switzerland. I want to enjoy sky dining with my family. And I love Swiss chocolates.

5. What is your favourite TV show/web series of all time?

Stranger things is my favourite series.

6. Is there any movie that could’ve had a better ending? Which one?

Yeah. I wish Avengers End game had a happy ending. I literally cried when Tony died

7. Do you like sports? If yes, then which is the one you like the most?

Yeah , I like sports. Tennis is my favourite. Every weekend I play tennis with my family.

8. If you become the principal of your school, what rule will you add or remove for your school?

My school starts at 8'o clock and ends at 5.15p.m . I hate staying in the same place for 9 hours. So if I become the principal of my school, I will reduce the school time to 4'o clock.

9. Do you prefer studying from books or from videos?

For studying literature or a theorem ,I prefer to study from books by reading . But for learning physics or chemistry I prefer to learn from videos.

10. Imagine you go abroad without any money or luggage. There you meet a generous person who offers you a help. He asks you to buy any ONE thing and he would pay the money. What ONE thing will you choose to buy? Why?

I don't even want to imagine such a situation. And moreover I will never go to a country without their currency.

Hope you all liked this post. Weren't her answers superb?! Tell me if you liked this post in the comments box. I'm waiting! Also, since this is my last post of 2020, I wish to express my new year wishes to y'all.

Cheers,

Nominated For Liebster Award!

Hey Guys, I'm delighted that you found this blog! Today I'll be telling you some great news: I am nominated for the Liebster Award!

Thanks to Esdi from https://esdiblogs.wordpress.com, Maya from https://prettylilscribbles.blogspot.com, Ivy from http://ivysscribbles.com and Ria from https://riawonderland.blogspot.com: all four of them nominated me and believed I'm worth it.

Esdi is a really sweet blogger, and posts neat and lovely posts. In her about section, she says that she "aims to cover ideas on Harry Potter Universe, Literature reviews, Television series and Blogging". Isn't her niche cool?!

Ivy is a thirteen-year-old blogger, and her blog is really pretty to hop upon. Her posts are super professional, and she is my blogger friend from quite a few weeks.

Talking about Maya and Ria, they are one of my favourite bloggers. I have written about them in my post: 7 Teen Lifestyle Bloggers You Need To Know. Both of them are really worth checking out!

So, what really is Liebster Award?

Well, it is a kind of appreciation the a blogger gives to other bloggers, and asks them to appreciate a few others. It kind-of an award chain, where everyone's a winner! It gives you some popularity, and at the same time, it binds you with your audience too.

But to participate in the Liebster Award, there are a few rules:

Number 1: Give a thanks to the blogger who has nominated you.

Number 2: Answer the eleven questions he/she has asked.

Number 3: Nominate eleven more bloggers for the award.

Number 4: Make sure that they know you have nominated them.

Number 5: Ask your eleven nominated bloggers eleven questions.

That means that I now have to answer eleven questions asked by Esdi Maya, Ivy and Ria; and these were the questions:

What is success according to you?
How do you take care of your mental health?
Which public figure do you admire?
What would you want to change about yourself?
Which one country do you want to visit?
If you are given an offer to buy 3 things for free of cost, what 3 things will you choose?
If you have to give a huge amount as donation, for which 1 cause would you want to donate?
Why did you choose blogging?
Where do you live?
Three of your favourite brands from any industry?
If given a time machine.. which moment will you re-live?

Lovely questions! But most of them need much thought to answer! I prepared my answers in 4 hours (yes!). Here they are:

What is success according to you?

In simple terms, success is when you want something and you get it. But for me it's not just an accomplishment, it is something that gives you satisfaction and inner peace. Success is something we all seek, and working for success is what gives life its meaning.

How do you take care of your mental health?

I do stress-relieving activities to take care of my mental health. To lift up my mood, I listen to music or do sketching. I write my feelings into a diary to flush out any negative feeling. But when I feel really sad, I cry. That makes me feel much lighter.

Which public figure do you admire?

For me, that's Albert Einstein. I look upon him as an inspiration. As a student, he was quite smart, but his teachers underestimated him. They said he would not be 'worth much'. But he changed the whole of Physics!

What would you want to change about yourself?

Too much of digital life. This is what I want to change. I believe that by being online all the time, we loosen our social relationships. I am working on it, my aim of less digital – more social life

Which one country do you want to visit?

I want to visit the United States. My mum has been there during her studies, and she tells me everything she did there. I now wish to go there too!

If you are given an offer to buy 3 things for free of cost, what 3 things will you choose?

The first thing I'd buy would be a big garden with beautiful plants. The second thing I would choose would be a big wardrobe, full of dresses. And the final thing I would choose to purchase is gift cards worth $100,000 (Ain't I clever? 😉)

If you have to give a huge amount as donation, for which 1 cause would you want to donate?

There are many sightless people on earth. Their eyes can be cured, but they don't have enough money for it. I would donate the sum for them, so that they could get their eyesight. How lovely would the world look in full colour!

Why did you choose blogging?

I chose blogging because it lets me share my feelings and thoughts with everyone. Blogging this media for me to express my creativity, learn and connect with everyone around the world.

Where do you live?

I am an Indian. I live in the second largest country of the largest continent!

Three of your favourite brands from any industry?

Park Avenue, Cadbury and Classmate. Clothes, chocolates and stationery, that's all I love!

If given a time machine.. which moment will you re-live?

I want to re-live my class 7– the standard I was in, before Corona. I want to re-live the awesome time I spent with my friend. We talked everything nonsense and giggled throughout the day.

These were my answers. Tell me in the comment box if you enjoyed reading them.

Now is the time when I nominate eleven bloggers. So here are my eleven nominees:

Izzie @ Mizz Iz

Miriam @ Inside Miriam's Mind

Evin @ A Curly Sue's Ramblings

Smeeha @ Lala Life Of Smeeha

Srisha @ Sky and Soil

Maggie @ Maggie's Doodles

Shanessa @ My Days in Montana

Roshni @ Roshni's Random Thoughts

Farren @ The Starry Eyed Dreamer

Renee @ Renee's Poetry

The Silver Fashionista

The questions for the nominees is the same eleven questions which I answered. That's because I couldn't have written better questions than those. Now, you have to answer these questions, and follow the above rules and continue the chain!

All the best to all!

Flashback : 20 Things I did in 2020

Hey Guys, welcome back to my blog! We know that 2020 has almost ended, roughly two weeks more to go. This was definitely not a cool year: Australian Bushfires, Protests in Hongkong, Climate Change, Floods and Cyclones, and of course the COVID 19 pandemic. What more can you add in the 2020 list?!

There was a time when a news flew that world would come to an end, thank goodness it was fake! Also, there were many hoaxes and confusions regarding COVID pandemic: how it spreads, how to protect ourselves, how to sanitize food items, dot dot dot. There still are a lot confusions!

But anyways, as 2020 is ending now, I'm a lot happy. There are vaccines which slowly coming for use : another big reason for happiness!

Okay, so in today's post, I'll be telling you TWENTY special things which I did this year. All these things were special due to some reason or the other, and you'll come to know them as you go through this post. I have added a few links in this post, and I want you to click through each and every link!

It is a small list below, and let's dive straight into it!

Twenty Thing I Did in Twenty-Twenty:

1. Made my gmail account, since I was thirteen finally!

2. Changed the position of my study table to avoid 'boredom'.

3. Drank ayurvedic drinks and ate healthy foods daily to boost immunity.

4. Watched repeat telecast of TV Serial Ramayana on DD National.

5. Made my Youtube Channel (and posted videos regularly).

6. Helped my dad make his own Youtube Channel.

7. Sweeped my house everyday during lockdown!

8. Did the Chloe Ting Two Week Shred Challenge.

9. Purchased a bluetooth headphone for myself.

10. Watched a lot of movies throughout the lockdown.

11. Made a Model for ISRO Cyberspace contest.

12. Participated in a Quiz by gangaquest.com and won a T-Shirt (yay!)

13. Started my own blog, first at google sites and then at blogger.com

14. Got my Front Splits for both legs! I also discussed it in the post My Biggest Achievements.

15. Prepared Fried Rice, Potato Chips, Oats Recipes on my own.

16. Celebrated my Birthday online, and designed e-cards for the first time. I talked about this in "It's My Birthday" Post too.

17. Gave a speech on Diwali for my school's online program.

18. Purchased two sets of earrings and a few dresses without the help from mom (I'm bad at making choices, so it was a challenge!)

19. Played song quiz on the newly-bought Google Nest (and lost the game from an online contestant 😆)

20. Tried the rice water recipe for the first time (I applied it today itself, so can't say if it worked!)

So that was my list of 2020. There could have been more items in the list, but you know, 'twenty' and 'twenty-twenty' sound cool! That's kind-of a stupid reason though!

Anyways, what things did YOU do in 2020? Which ones are the most memorable? Did you too take some sort of immunity-booster recipes? Share your ideas in the comments!

Cheers,

Gauri ✌️
