I'm handling so many things simultaneously that I feel like the stress will burst out together one day. I'm doing so many things, I just want a long vacation. Thankfully, the Industrial Visit is coming soon, and I'm looking forward to relieve all the stress.

But for using IV as a stress-reliever, I must pack my bag. Sure, I have made a list of things to pack, but that's not enough. I don't have good clothes. I wanted to wear fresh clothes for IV; but my mom is too pissed at me for shopping without any solid reason. If I buy new clothes, she will be even more pissed at me. I have ordered a dark blue coloured trousers from Flipkart.com and a pair of skinny t-shirt from Koovs.com, and I'm eagerly waiting for their delivery. (I'm hoping that it comes before my IV, so that I would have at least one pair of fresh, new clothes.)
I also have to buy essentials like shampoo sachets, wet wipes, snacks, etc. I am going to ask my dad to bring the needful, but for that, I should have time to sit down and make a list of 'Things to Buy'. Just two days are left and I haven't packed my bag. All the three years of my graduation, I would begin packing a month early; crazy, I know! And this time, just two days to go. I'm so stressed about the same. I come home at 9:00 pm, and packing bag after that becomes a bit difficult.

I can't even take a leave from office and pack the bag, as I have already taken so many holidays that I'm willing to even work over time for the remaining two days. I had taken two days off for Ganpati, then one day off because I was not well, and now again from 1st to 8th October, I will have to take a leave due to my IV. I'm feeling so guilty and bad.

I have missed quite a few lectures at college, and so I'm fearing I should not default and come under the Defaulters' List. Though I haven't even bunked once this semester, I don't want my parents to be called for a bad reason. I still might take off, as it is understandable.

On top of all this, there is my blog. My PC is down and so I have to work on my laptop, which is not really bad. But working on laptop is anytime of lesser convenience than working on PC. And then there's Koovs virtual, weekly internship. Though I work on it only on Sundays, I still stress about it throughout the week.

Due to all this, I can't meet my best friends even on their birthdays, and it is hard to explain them. They just feel like I'm selfish and can't even bunk office for a day. I wish they understood what I'm currently going through and forgive me. It's all becoming a big stress ball now.

Signing out; bye, bye!

P.S. I might not write here till 8th October, 2015. However, be in touch with me via Snapchat (@dprettycitygirl) and Twitter (@dprettycitygirl).

Hi there! I have designed a Weekly Study Planner printable for you guys. The theme is pink and black, and I've kept it pretty simple this time.

I'm feeling too calm right now. Today seemed like just one of those days.
Internship has kept me so busy and unsocial, that it is so hard to relax and meetup with friends.



Today, skipping the first lecture, I went to college to attend the remaining two lectures. I reached there and realized the second lecture was a guest lecture in the auditorium and the third was cancelled. Therefore, going to college was totally fruitless.

However, something happened that did not make me regret going college--the fun we had. Since more than a month, I've been going to office after college. I hardly had some food in the canteen and forcefully 'rushed' to the station with my friends who actually had to rush to office. I'm in no hurry as I always reach on time. But my friends are; and so, as I get company, I go along with them too.

As Saturdays are off, I could afford to spend some more time in college today. We had crazy amount of fun. In our college, there's this Activity Room. There is a table for table tennis and around four carom boards, out of which, two are played on, and two are just lying upright in a corner. All my classmates go to this room to play, right after the lectures.
Today, I was with them. After so many days, I enjoyed so very much.

When we entered the Activity Room, we saw our classmates sitting on the floor and totally chilling. We also joined them. Later, just randomly, somebody said we should play Antaksharee. I was so happy and I readily agreed. I'm one of those over-enthusiastic people who play Antaksharee. I initiate the songs, I sing loudly, and I almost lose my voice in this process. Therefore, I readily agreed, and thus the first song, without any doubt, was 'Maiya Yashoda' from the movie 'Hum Saath Saath Hai'.

We played this game continuously for 2 and half hours, and in the end, our throat was sore. We finally left the college at 3:00 PM, totally satisfied and happy. All the three of us who comparatively left early, are working/were working. Even they were happy to have enjoyed after three long months of their internships.

After coming home, I had tea with my parents, and then, went to the station to give my notes to a junior. After coming back home, I scheduled October month in my agenda. I wrote a Thank You note to the MD of Seduction Las Vegas for organizing the giveaway with me. Everything was so serene. Maybe it is the fact that my PC is down and so I wasn't sitting in front of it, as I do always. But whatever it is, I thoroughly enjoyed writing in total peace.

Then, I had food with my parents, in the living room, watching Leicester vs Arsenal, and talking in between. Trust me; those few dialogues we exchanged were so heart warming, I felt really happy.

And now, I'm writing the blog, surprisingly comfortable and in a laid back position. I'm loving how today has turned out to be.

This was the outfit I wore for Koovs task number 4. It is Print on Print.



I had carried the top, bottom, and the neckpiece to Pune for this photoshoot. I asked my younger cousin sister to shoot me. I clicked this on the same day I was to come back to Mumbai. I remember, all my relatives had asked me the same question, as they were shocked to see me all dolled up, without any reason!
Here are some of the pictures from the shoot-



I had liked this shot; however, my neckpiece was not visible and so I asked my sister to click another.



Sleeveless Top: Black and White Stripes
From: Myntra.com
Price: Rs. 550



Leggings: Black and White Chevron
From: Street, Bandra
Price: Rs. 200




These are my elder cousin sister's shoes.

Sandals: Brown
From: Street, FC Road, Pune
Price: Rs. 350



I had gifted a similar bag to my sisters.

Canvas Tote: Black and White Stripes
From: Chinese Online Store
Price: Rs. 300



Neckpiece: Pink
From: Colaba Causeway
Price: Rs. 150



Stud: Pink Gem
From: Avon
Price: Gift Set for Rs. 599

Lipstick: Pink (I'll update the shade later)
From: Fabbag.com
Price: Rs. 1,000

For the Koovs's fourth task, we had to dress ourselves in one of the themes given, and then design a page for Grazia, thus featuring ourselves and helping our 'readers' to 'get the look'. So, I chose 'Print Clash' as my theme, in which I had to wear print on print.
The only thing that comes to my mind after talking about printed bottom wear is my chevron striped leggings. So I chose that, and for the upper body, I chose a striped loose vest.

I shot the photographs in Pune and then designed the page after coming back to Mumbai. Unfortunately, QuarkXPress was deleted from my PC and hence, I had to download it again. To my surprise, I remembered each and every command, and the shortcut keys too! Maybe, if you do something out of total love, you necessarily don't need to 'remember' its functioning; all you have to do is initiate your work and your hands start moving automatically!

I'd thought I'd forgotten the essence of designing a magazine, but I'm happy to know I hadn't. Last year, for Newspaper and Magazine Designing project, I had designed a magazine. I referred a particular page of that magazine for this task.

I am delighted to design again, after a year!




Have you ever tried designing a magazine or a newspaper?

Every time I post a snap about this, I get at least one question related to it. Girls ask about its availability, the shop I purchased it from, and many other questions.

Oh my God! You have no idea how happy I was to receive this pretty gift. My cousin aunt gifted a earring set to me and my younger sister, and we both absolutely love our gifts.



There are two sets.



Talking about my set-


It has an extremely cute box.



 The pink flower can be used with any earring stud.

I loved all the studs and I can't wait to use them. I just checked the price of this set, and it is Rs. 699!



This set belongs to my sister. I did not like the box as it is too basic.



Instead of those big pearls, there was a pair of golden semi circle inside. As during the shoot, my aunt was wearing it, we thought of replacing those semi circle earrings with this one.




Similar to my pink flower, we can use the silver flower with different studs too.


I really liked the idea of removing these flowers and using it with any stud! I give it 8/10, thus cutting 2 points for its price.

Hello there, girls!

I am so happy to have been blogging consistently for two years. It's such a big achievement. I'm looking forward to more and more years, and with each passing year, some exciting changes in the blog and of course, improvements every day.

I cut a cake this morning at 6:50am, before going to college. My mom cut it into pieces and I took half of the cake to college. I remember, on the first day of college, when our professor had asked us to introduce ourselves, I'd spoken about my blog and how on September 15 I would complete two years. On it, our ma'am had jokingly asked me to bring a cake and that we all would celebrate it together.
That's why I carried it there.

I feel extremely powerful. I am proud about myself. I'm happy with the way TPCG is progressing. Even after coming home from office, at 8:00 or 9:00, I save some energy for my baby. I manage to write a shabbily written article, but I definitely write one--and that's what is important.

I wanna achieve many more things in my blogging life and today, as a celebration, I have collaborated with Seduction Las Vegas for a Giveaway! This is my very first, and I'm happy to see how it is turning out to be.

We are going to give away two pink nail polish shades and two lipsticks of red and pink shades. The contest is ending on Sunday midnight, so enter it as soon as possible!

Thanks a lot for supporting me throughout. I love you all.

I'm so excited for tomorrow, as TPCG turns two! This post is especially dedicated to all those who made an impact on me and on TPCG, largely. I want to thank you all in person, especially some sweet people I've mentioned below. I would like to say a big THANK YOU to--

In my First Year of BMM, our professor had asked us to create a blog and maintain it. I sure had opened a blog, but hadn't maintained. I continued the same blog for that assignment and named it 'a-trollz.blogspot.in'.

I wore this outfit for a Koovs task. This was shot immediately after we shot the first outfit.
You can wear this for formal office parties (thus keeping in mind the length of the shorts), or for night parties with friends. I don't know why, but somehow I find this outfit more towards formal.

Anyway, here's the outfit:
