A More Informal Description of Me

My name is Lahari and I'm 14. My zodiac sign is a Virgo and I love the word 'pig'.
I like singing, books, math, food, politics, and philosophy.

One of my really good friends describes me as a toilet. I flush out all the stuff that bothers me and forget about it immediately afterwards. What she's trying to say is that I run away from all my problems and don't think about one thing for too long. I'm generally a happy person and I don't like being mean to others and I love everybody. I'm pretty popular, have loads of friends, and I'm talented in various things.

I've got an amazing best friend and honestly, a pretty ideal life compared to other people across the globe. I like thinking about philosophical questions that don't have answers and knowing a bit about international relations, global politics, and foreign policy. Math is life, although most of you won't agree with me.

I've been an avid reader since I was 2 and I mostly read fiction, but after developing my interest in politics and philosophy, non fiction has become more appealing. I've read so much YA Fiction, I'm practically a walking To-Read-List for my bookworm friends. You name it, I've read it.  My favourite book fandom is the Shadowhunter Fandom.

I used to worship manga and anime, but recently, I've lost interest in it, although I still love the Japanese language.

I've just joined the K-Pop group BTS's fandom, ARMY and am completely obsessed, although you should know that my obsessions don't last for very long.

Among my friends, I'm known as the crazy one. I've got weird hair that sticks up straight in the front which has gotten me into some trouble at school because I look extremely untidy. I personally think of it as my very own trademark, but of course, I'm trying to keep my hair down. I am extremely abnormal, do the most insensible things possible, and am very, very, very loud. My parents say I have no sense of shame, which just might be true.

I will mix any number of different foods just to see if their tastes complement each other. In my family, we are not allowed to refuse to eat any kind of food or vegetable, so since birth, I've been taught to try various tastes. I dislike certain food items, but I will eat them, no matter how much I hate them.

The one thing I would sacrifice everything else for to do all my life, is singing. I want to pursue western classical/pop singing, but it's sort of hard in a place like India. Yet, I'm looking for ways to improve my voice and grow as a singer. I'm a certified bathroom singer. Once there was even this time when I was shoved into the bathroom to sing because my parents and little sister couldn't concentrate on their work due my loud singing. I am always, always singing -  during class, when I'm brushing, when I'm reading, always. It helps me concentrate more than listening to music does.

There is practically no extracurricular activity I haven't tried. Here's my list of what classes I have taken in life:

  1. Tennis
  2. Gymnastics
  3. Swimming
  4. Kung Fu
  5. Sketching
  6. Painting
  7. Craft
  8. Bharatanatyam
  9. Calligraphy
  10. Classical Singing
  11. Western Singing
  12. ArtReach
  13. Kinder Music
  14. Kumon
  15. Theatre
  16. Robotics
  17. Keyboard/Piano
Now if I just take flying classes, I would have done everything. I have taken all these classes because I don't want there to be a field where I have no experience whatsoever.

So yeah, that's it about me. In this blog I will maybe discuss philosophical questions that I find interesting, weird things that I have realised, random ramblings, my opinion on various topics, and my reviews on books, movies, manga and anime. That's about it I guess. I want to keep posting short snippets of my personality like this, because it keeps changing.
