A Violinist Inspiration

Sometimes I take a while to get use to things around me but when it came to playing music I wasn't hesitant.
I play two instruments, the violin and the piano. Both are great instruments but I fancy the violin to the piano. The music from the violin just speaks to me.

When I listen to music, I listen for the good. I let the music transform me. I let it take me to different places. 

As a violinist, I let the music move me.Lindsey Stirling has inspired me to take my music to a new level.

When I hear this one I think about China. I think about Asia in general. I think about Samurais battling to protect what they hold so dear to them. She gives her audience something to aww at.

Beside Lindsey, there are other great violinist, musicians out there. One of my favorite groups is probably eScala. They are an electic instrument group.

These ladies bring music to life. 

Music isn't mindless. It isn't boring. It speaks to everyone, you just have to listen. It helps you get through rough and tough times. Just let it help you.

What does it say to you? \

Listen to the music

When you hear music, what do you think about?
What does the music say to you?

Whether its classical, rock, jazz, metal even blues, the music speaks to you. If you listen closely the music is trying to talk to you. Its inspirational. It is desirable. Music can get you through almost everything. Just listen to it. Its alive. 

Through the years music has been evolving. It takes you to places. Unlocks parts of your mind you never thought possible. 

I use music to inspire me. Every note of it. Every sharp, every flat. I use the music to calm me. 

Relax and let the music drift you away. 

Music is everywhere, you just have to open your ears and listen. Let it set you free.

Classical but inspiring. 

Why do I blog?

Ever had things you wanted to say or talk about but just didn't know how to say it? Sometimes it feels like that for me. I love writing and what better way to start. Blogging is always something I was into. Whether it was a food blog, Art blogs even nature blogs. I feel that blogging is a way for people to express themselves, you know? Show the world what you're into and the best part you have a voice. You can say whatever you want whenever you want. Blogging is friendly. It is a journey.

I believe that blogging is a way of sharing ideas. Ideas which could have an impact on others. Blogging, Its not just about you. Sometimes what you're going through helps others get through what they go through. 

So why not get your ideas out. Who knows you might get some valuable input.

I blog to inspire others. I blog to get my thoughts out especially when its eating away at me. 

This is my way of writing to the world. 

Do what makes you happy.

Day in the life of a Chemistry Major

It's been a while since the last post but I'm back. 

Things have been somewhat hectic. Between trying to put things together and doing experiments in the lab and my god not forgetting the endless lab reports. As soon as one is completed the other just pops up. Talk about a bumpy road to success. 

It's the coming slowly to the end of second year and the completion of an Associate Degree. Everyone is just trying to make it out the best they can. 

As a chemistry student we hardly have the time to scratch our head. You always have to keep the ball rolling. If you're not stuck in the lab, you're in class, if not there you're in the library studying, reading for your degree. When it comes to lunch, you do it on the way to class because sometimes you have just 5 minutes to get from one to the next... things get crazy especially if the next class has a scheduled exam. 

Chemistry is fun. You learn all these cool things. Do all these amazing experiments. You learn about how various thing in life function like how the refrigerator keeps you food for a period of time and did I mention if you do thermodynamics, you get the first hand experience to make ice cream. Cool right?

As hectic as it is you never really get bored. Once you stay focused all the exciting things come your way. Chemistry is explosive.  

You never let it get to your personal life. Yeah sure you bring home lab reports to do but hey get it done as quickly and accurately as you possibly can and you'll get to do anything you want. 

At the end of your degree, pick your project and you can be the next Marie Curie. Get into the fun but don't let it take the fun out of you. You have potential and you will go far. Just believe in yourself and believe in the chemistry. 

                                         

Don't let anybody dim your sparkle. Be golden rain.

 Be the best you can be.

Be whatever you want to be....

Hey friends, pull up a chair to the computer and join in...
There's a common question everyone is asked when growing up whether it be by your mom or your dad, a sister or brother, aunts or uncles even grandparents... What do you want to be when you grow up? Yes that question you thought was so open. You say doctor or lawyer, teacher, business man, actor/actress, you even go as far as saying pop star because you were young then, you had no idea of the amount of hard work you would have to constantly put in to reach this goal, so it was just easier at the time to dress up and play pretend. The world was so easy back then, but then you grew up and started 'adult-ing'. Just when you thought it was fun to grow up, then taxes hit and you need to find a job and settle down. Not so fun now huh?

Don't be in a rush to grow up... enjoy every second of life because it is not promised to anybody. It is fragile and we are not guaranteed a tomorrow so give it all you can. Put your best foot forward, even if somebody stomps on it, shake it off and continue down your path.
Be whatever you want to be. Be a better you.

Spread your wings and fly darlings... soar out of sight. 

That's all for now darlings.

Who are you?

Who are you? You are who you decide you are.
Hello friends, who are you? This is a question asked by an employer sometimes. Mostly for a new graduand and you just sit there thinking you have the answer but really nothing comes out when you speak. You've spent so much time becoming so good at your field that you forget the important thing is not to only succeed in that field but to become a better you that you can be.We forget ever so often that while on the path of gaining knowledge, we still need to gain a sense of who we are. So I'll ask again, Who are you? Seems like a simple question huh? Guess not. Most times we become whatever someone else wants us to be that we become blinded by it but I say no more, its time to open your wings, spread it don't let anybody carve the path which you're meant to take. You design the path which you want to travel not that which someone has set in stone for you. A battle of the mind in most cases but darling be who you want to be. You've got time to figure it out and if you think you don't have the time, MAKE IT. You are what matters. The minute you decide to be yourself, that's when true beauty is revealed.

You are beautiful, spectacular, respectful, wise and most importantly you are you. And you know what you are pretty awesome. 

As for me I'll answer the question, Who am I? 

I am Miranda Ishwardai Ramnaraine, future chemist, aspiring pediatric surgeon and writer. But let's forget academic wise. I am a swimmer, a pianist, a violinist, a dancer and more importantly I am who I decided to be. I am here to be a better me. I am me. 

So come on everybody, get up, make some time and just be you. That is what matters. YOU DO. YOU MATTER. 

So let me hear what makes you you. Drop a comment and let the self discovery begin. Don't be shy. 

WHO ARE YOU?

Disembarking flight BWnegativity

Ever wonder why some people hang around you? Why they become your friends? Sometimes all these thoughts poison your mind. It hurts your soul but you can't let it get to you. Negativity comes in many forms whether its a bad relationship or a friendship that's based on one friends need of you. Once their need runs out, you no longer matter. Maybe the friendship wasn't your fault, you didn't see it coming. Sometimes we don't ever see it coming it just happens and you think oh this is my best friend, this is the person who will be there for you on the good days and bad days. But that one day when things spiral out of control and you need someone in your corner, boom there's nobody there. It's like people expect you to be okay, to alright all the time, like your feelings don't count. Its okay for them to ask you for help whenever they need because you've been grown to help those in need so its not in your character to say no but it is not okay for you to be tossed aside like a used up rag doll that no longer makes anybody happy because you do make people happy in your own little way. Whether you smile when you walk into a room, or you laugh at a joke someone's telling but to the crowd its not that funny, you do matter, every little thing you do matters. So my advice to you is dump the negativity before it leaves you questioning every move you ever made. Don't let anybody control your feelings because love you deserve every stress free moment life has to offer. Dust off your wings and keep soaring because with all negativity there has to be some positivity and it comes in relationships that last a lifetime and beyond or a friendship that doesn't let you walk to Mordor alone even if you insist. There will always be better people out there, ones that won't run back to you just because their 'option' was leaving. There will be some people that make you laugh louder, smile wider and live a little bit better. So my darlings go right ahead and disembark flight BWnegativity.
