In case you missed me and were wondering where I did go? I will tell you, a little before starting to writing blogs and figuring out my life and it’s purpose I started facing my fears and decided to improve my skills, this has been the toughest and the most difficult decision.

Anyways, I know it would take me more than 2 years to just get started to what I see myself becoming into. Nevertheless, I was ready to take the plunge into the deep world of improving myself. Because I can lie to anyone but not myself. So, I challenged myself, and I have published my first book called,” Daddy’s Little Warrior by Zephyr” which is a part of series that I’m writing and my book is available globally on Amazon, eBay, Barnes and Noble, Kindle and Nook.

You can visit my official website: www. daddyslittlewarrior.com

Here you can read more about my book:

Daddy’s Little Warrior is a story of inner strength and courage; it’s about realizing the inner self and embracing and nurturing the inner warrior within us. The story deals with a group of friends who are on the path of discovering the inner warrior within them. It’s about life and change, the role change plays, and its necessity in one’s life.

It also talks about the significance of having warrior-like qualities. It’s a story of simple and ordinary people who have dreams, hopes, and ambitions. It’s the journey of seven friends, with Isabel and Sophie being the main protagonists, who face challenges of life in their own way. And with the help of their friends—Sasha, Ajax, Belleza, Zoe, and Zephyr—the journey becomes more fun and interesting. These people believe in coming out of their comfort zone and facing their fears. Also, they don’t like to stress much. Isabel and Sophie become strong and independent individuals and are can inspire women all across the globe. Everyone can relate to them and aspire to be like them.

Hi Everyone,(when u read from this part ,Imagine you are drunk,makes more sense then,I hope u LOL)

I’m finally typing my long-lost series,after a chain of loss which includes loosing books, phone,laptop, loosing wi-fi connection(this part really hurt), internet connection and a good piece(and peace) of mind. Anyways ,I was thinking about publishing from a long time ,so now I’m just going to write something that I just feel like typing and have written and lost long time ago,so excuse me for my grammar and language,I hope you can make sense of it.

Chapter One :Introduction

Zoe and Fi (Fi for Fiona) and close friends at the moment ,they love to discuss the misconstrued details of their lives.As,it gives them happiness and moreover they have no one else to talk to.Anyways, both young women are really happy in their lives or trying to be.

Scene one: Well,it’s another Saturday afternoon ,and Fi gives Zoe a call.

Fi: what’s up? what are you doing?

Zoe: Wondering how much I hate life and sweeping the floor+yawning.

Fi: That’s good ,’Another day ,when you finally  deal less with humans’.Someone correctly quoted “Less is More”.

Zoe: Yup, and I end up cleaning and tidying ‘the room’, it feels like eons since I last cleaned my room.And its working as a good therapy .The other day I was watching Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners and I decided that every Saturday is room detoxifying day or in simple people’s language “Room Cleaning Day”.

Fi: Hmm mm,that’s a good thought ,I’m proud of you ,you finally had the happy realization and you are taking steps to  work on it.So, on this note we should celebrate ,so you wanna meet up for drinks at Jame’s bar(speaking seductively ).

Zoe:I’m almost done cleaning ,so lets meet at around eight in the evening ,as I definitely need a drink. And a combination  of amazing food.

Fi: Cool.we meet at 8. (doing the moon walk)

Scene two will be continued …

Location: Jame’s Bar 😉

Lost my Phone, Nexus 5 :( ,Lost my Life line :(

Today is a sad day ,in my writer’s life, not only did I loose my phone and all its contacts ,I also lost a few characters of my upcoming book, 😦 , this is what I regret the most. Moreover, its going to be tough to survive without a phone ,as being in a foreign country, my phone was google enabled ,it was my surviving guide and I had special apps that helped me manage my day and survive in this new place.I just feel technologically handicapped 😦 .Also ,for a student budget ,I don’t even dare cross my monthly grocery bill, and buying another phone is out of option ,thank god my friends gave me a spare phone. I thought of getting a Nexus 5 from amazon or some other online store, turns out ,the deals and offers in India(are super awesome),so is the price. Now, I have to survive with another smartphone ,which is not the same as Nexus 5 😦 .I just hope my phone comes back magically, though the online search and GPS search of the phone didn’t help. Well, I had my valuable stories ,which was very important to me.

Since the phone was google enabled I had back up till last month,but I did loose some really good thoughts,I hope I can recreate those thoughts. I’m doing my Masters ,so my phone did help me save a lot of time .

Luck what the Fuck phenomena.

Well,do give it a read.

Well,if you consider yourself lucky ,think again, like really you got lucky ,and now you feel high,’hmmm ,good to know ,its nice, live in the moment , enjoy your life’ .. 😉 .Well, the latest word or the hottest tagline doing the rounds in internet (I always mean the social media) is Karma , what goes around comes around, I mean, I have had enough of this ,people usually  tell me ,”you’re Indian ,you must definitely understand”.

Well, my answer to this is ,”Yes,I’m Indian (I’m glad you deduced my ethnicity and you recognize it ,like really 🙂 ), and definitely, I don’t understand “.I mean a person comes and tell you, karma is a bitch and you’re Indian ,so they assume ,I should know everything, but honestly I can only sympathize and say yes, and if you don’t explain me the situation ,I can only guess, at best. Anyways ,getting back to “Luck what the Fuck” ,a very common statement you hear in high school ,college ,work place, in fact ,everywhere, well calling anyone and everyone lucky w/o having  any idea of what one has been through is foolish,and makes you stupid in ‘the lucky person’s eyes’.  (Remember this part)

A lot of people in and around ,might not get you, so I can say it happens ,many will say you don’t deserve it , ‘well, maybe they are right ,maybe they are wrong”. It happens(so does shit) ,you either embrace it or don’t give a fuck in the general public lingo. And ,whether you got lucky or whether you really ,really deserve it or not ,is up to you and only you. And people, they always like to talk.

I hope this article has caught your attention and you are thinking critically. I will come up with more intriguing articles ,and a super awesome fictional story ,that will make you wonder and laugh at the same time. Wait,for more interesting stuff around September and October. 18542638d8b75db1731d179687fa06e02df7b0a9b7063f8403a940f4f88f9057

Life is Germany or any new country can always be overwhelming. A life hack to student life and experiences from fellow international students will make your journey smooth.

I’ll start with the places around any city or town in Germany.

Every town/city in Germany  has a Central place or Zentrum for commerce and government work. Also, the supermarkets and brands are fixed .

And any typical Zentrum will have a Rathaus for all the official work ,for example, City Registration,Change of Address,Visa related work etc. The zentrum will also have the malls, chruch,bus and tramstops,restaurants and major shopping centres.

The supermarkets you will typically find in Germany are Penny, Edeka, Nah and Gut,Kaufland.Netto,Aldi,Lidl etc.

aldi                          penny3

And the major brands and departmental stores you can expect are Espirit, Zara,Mango, Decathlon,H&M,NewYorker,Orsay,Douglas,DM,Rossmann,all major perfumes, watches and luxury brands.

Finally,talking about rents , the rent in different cities varies ,depending upon your location and contract ,also sometimes the duration,whether you get a fully furnished apartment or not. It can range from anywhere between 100 Euros to 700 Euros.

study-abroad

Here, is a closer look at how student life can be.

Well depending upon your course and time-table or course-plan , one has to manage time and energy wisely. The college experience can be different for different people, so, I’m giving certain tips that might help any one and everyone in general.Also, learning etiquette and knowing a little bit more about German culture is always an advantage.

USEFUL TIPS

  •  Be on time or at least 10 to 15 mins early, if you have an appointment or in case not.But it is strongly advised that you should have an appointment.
  • For meeting your professors and entering any lab, one needs to book an appointment from your prof and concerned faculty from your university mail.(which you will receive from the University )
  • Know your curriculum and course very well , and decide accordingly before taking up that subject , also get a good a review from your seniors and analyze your strengths and then choose your subjects.

MORE ABOUT YOUR UNIVERSITY LIFE

Now I will be discussing your city life how to get through your day and life in University.

According to your Studierendenausweis a.k.a Student Identity Card.

Just see where you can travel for free , as different universities have different facilities and offers.So, go through them properly.

Also to get through traveling with ease , you can use the following apps.

  • Offi Directions
  • Offi Network Planner
  • Offi Stations
  • DB planner
  • Of course ,Google navigation and Maps

The Offi apps can be used for day-to-day navigation in and around your town and nearby cities.

The next part of the series will focus on getting through day-to-day life the markets and a price chart for the essential veggies and meats etc.

Also, I will be publishing a few series in German, and, I’m still learning the language so, I hope I do justice to the grammar and language.

Next part .coming soon….

Steps for settling in Germany Simplified:(For International Students)

International students
International students
  1. Get an Apartment first:  The first thing one must know before coming to Germany ,is to have a German bank a/c ,and also try to find a room online ,one does get rooms on contract first, since you are new its advisable to live in Studentenwohnheim also one can refer to them as student hostels ,and in case they are full or you like to have your quiet time you can look for apartments around the campus too.The links to these websites are mentioned below.
  2. Step two : CITY REGISTRATION:  Every town has its own Rathaus (you can just google it). See the timings and proceed accordingly.Carry all the necessary documents along with you. A list of documents will be mentioned in the end. One can go for step 4 next in case the international office is closed.
  3. Visit your University’s International office : and give them a copy of your city registration,usually the university staff will take a copy of your city registration,also ,one must ask if you have to submit any other documents ,and ask what should be your next step for enrollment,you will usually get a list of what to do next.
  4. Visit your Insurance company ,bank and  also get a Sim card : these 3 tasks will require your city registration form, your passport,visa,letter of admission,immatriculation (for the very first time) ,so that they can generate a card for you ,which will be delivered to your mailbox.If you are early and not in holiday season ,your work should be done within 2 weeks,if not, just enquire during office hours,sometimes the process can be slow ,due to more no. of applicants.Also,one can get their sim card in the mall. All these places are close by.So prioritize your work.

Note: In case you change your address, then one must go to the city registration get your new address registered,and         then inform your bank ,insurance and international office at your student university.

5.  Once you get your apartment and get done with the documentation ,along with getting your student id and password, I         would advise you to relax,if all the work was done in one day. Sometimes,due to office hours and holiday season ,the           work can be delayed.

6.    Be patient: This one will really be difficult ,but yes, one has to be patient.This is the true test of patience.

7.    After you settle, have a look at the course,its requirements, and plan accordingly and start your classes.

   And I wish you  good luck to begin your new semester.

PS:

Document list:

  • Passport( always have 2 sets of copies of the foll. documents)
  • visa
  •  admission letter
  • bank account ( have it in German and English)
  • immatriculation( this you will receive from the uni)
  • There can be more or less documents required depending on where you are living and the documents required by your university.

  Sites to find apartments in Germany   (for Sachsen/Saxony area)

Advice : I would advise you to read the offers and documents carefully(like any offers and documents ad in a video,played at 8x),but please read it carefully,the rent and everything ,all the facilities offered by the room etc. Usually all the information is available online in case you still have doubts ,you can always contact the concerned person mentioned in the respective links.

I will also ,write a part 2 on the very next steps after you settle in for 1-2 months, this will include the most important topics such as  visa, and life around Germany questions. And in case you felt that I missed something or I could add something more ,please let me know in the comments below.
