My Supernatural World

-



The world of the supernatural is vast and takes a lot of effort and concentration to navigate. It covers a lot, from mythology to magic to demons and everything in between.

I would say I started my journey with the magnificent Harry Potter series when I was 8 years old. I then moved on to Percy Jackson and quickly to the Twilight Saga, when I fell in love with all things supernatural. I threw myself into all things vampire as soon as I read the first book in the Twilight Saga. There were a lot of differences between what we thought vampires were and what Stephanie Meyer portrayed.

I soon went back to Rick Riordan’s work and fell in love with every aspect of Greek and Roman mythology. I found myself wanting more and started researching things that Rick wrote about. My next peephole was the iconic Vampire Diaries show. I spent years hearing about it from my friends and decided to give it a shot. I was hooked in moments.

I was in awe at the different ways that vampires were portrayed. There were startling differences between the Twilight Saga and The Vampire Diaries. The Twilight Saga stopped with vampires and werewolves while The Vampire Diaries went on to show powerful witches, ghosts, resurrected spirits, hybrids, sirens, and much more.

Watching and reading supernatural works inspired me to attempt to write my own supernatural story. It's hard work but I haven’t given up. I believe it’s worth the effort.

    It's indeed commendable that you have started writing a book of your own after being inspired by these classics. I wish you luck on your writing career.

A Tribute to My Seniors

  Before I start, I’d like to say that this is a very personal post, dedicated to a few very special individuals.  Anderlin, Sharan, Shane, and Mugunthan.  Technically they are my seniors, but they have become something more. These guys are the reason I made it through the year and have become irreplaceable brother figures to me. I may not call them ‘Anna,’ but the respect they earned from me is immeasurable. I still remember the first time I saw them. I was at an ethnic walk practice. It was only my second day there and I wasn’t very confident yet.  The four of them weren’t around on the first day of practice.  That’s when they arrived. They appeared, walking in a straight line. They looked so majestic and powerful that they scared me. They came to stand in front of me and I remember chills running down my spine. None of them were laughing at the moment (you’re not allowed to laugh or smile during an ethnic walk.) I was so intimidated by them. There aren’t wo...

Take Off

Today, I'm beginning a new journey. I'm travelling across the Atlantic on my own, heading to LeTourneau University in Texas for a semester abroad. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous right now. I'm about to get on a plane and end up in a place I've never been before and be with people I've never met before.  On the other hand, I'm super excited. I've never lived away from home before, and I'm really looking forward to this amazing opportunity. I'm sure there are things I will find hard, but isn't learning how to do those things part of the experience?  Initially, I wanted to go here on a whim, but now, it has become more. I want to go to experience life, to make mistakes and learn from them, to become a better person. I want to learn how to be bolder, more confident, and braver. I want to learn how to deal with people who annoy me and learn how to not let them bother me. I want to experience college in a form I'm not used to...

Katha Utsav @MCC

On the 28th and 29th of December, Katha Publishers conducted a workshop in the MRF Innovation Park at MCC. As soon as I knew this workshop was coming up, I knew I wanted to go. My professor told me how prestigious this workshop was. I didn't totally believe him until I saw the crowds that arrived at MCC.  This workshop was intended for schoolchildren, but we MCCians had a special session since we were hosting it. I was also a volunteer for the workshop. My Saturday morning started pretty early. I rushed to campus by 7:30 and sprung into action. The day started out with decorating the venue. Soon after, parents and their children started arriving. There were people from out of state. They had come just for the workshop. I sprung into action with the rest of the team, guiding children and their parents around the building.  Once everyone was settled, it was time for our session. I loved the sessions. I compared my writing to what the mentor taught us and I was pleased to find th...
