The secret of getting back motivated after facing failures by everythingbeeknows

Image
There had been circumstances in life where we had started to pursue something but lack of willpower left us empty handed. This may not have shown us a profound failure in life but did teach us some lesson for lifetime. But still we seem to pass it off, not learning a thing from it and continuing with our routine which is full of wastage and devaluing ourselves and not optimizing ourselves for doing not just routine work but also other than that.

Mysterious affair at styles Agatha Christie Agatha Christie is known as the best author in the mystery genre. She is also considered as female Sherlock homes.

With so much of interrelated contents and then the truth reveals in the end is quite shocking and will leave you speechless. This book was written in 1920 and it’s her

Major areas to look out for badminton during tournaments

Major areas to look out for badminton during tournaments When the season of badminton matches come forth of us, we start getting ready for the upcoming matches and challenges. Well, just preparing for the match isn’t enough. You have to focus on the areas which are really neglected which results in a defeat. I’m going to list the number of areas where you have to look after for a sure shot win at the tournament. 1.   Clears These are treated as the most easily done shots. But the reality is that the perfection which one has to achieve is very important. A good clear opens up the area and let us get to the base position ready for the upcoming shot. It is a shot to relax ourselves in between the game. Many rookie players which I have seen are not that good with their clears. They fall short and very vulnerable for killer smashes to end the point, the set and the game. 2.   Net kills Taken as the most easily played shot, net kills are the most vulnerable shots which are

Easy way to make slime using Indian products/fevicol Hey guys, you must have known about slime and it’s already popular in the west and some Asian countries but in India it’s not that much, as far as I know. It’s because the products needed for a perfect slime recipe is different and not found in India like the Elmer’s glue and borax powder which is not that common here. So, I did some research online and found out a way to make slime using products available in India. Its supers cheap, easy and you can make plenty of slime and play with them. This is the easiest way to make slime and with Indian products. Before that I’d like to tell you that I had many failed attempts before following this recipe and those attempts really dreaded me out. All my friends and family members got irritated, but the slime was totally worth all of it. I guess even you might be one like me. LOL Let’s get started with the ingredients first for fluffy slime You’ll need clear glue which you can

Badminton Courts in Mumbai

I’m a big badminton enthusiast and I've written a review on the badminton book its link is here , so this post will help others like me to find an indoor badminton court to practice their skills. I had been playing at outdoor court for a year now, and recently had been searching for an indoor badminton court in Mumbai. And here are the courts that I found. Dharavi Rajiv Gandhi Sports Complex This place is situated just as the Dharavi road starts it’s beside the BEST head office. This complex also has 2 swimming pools and has other sports activities too. On the second floor there’s DSO office. As regard to badminton you will need to enquire the time and fees at the reception at the right hand side of the entrance on the ground floor. The timings are a bit odd but if it suits to someone then they should absolutely not miss this place. The receptionist had said that there are 2 wooden courts and all the equipments including shuttle cocks have to be carried by us. Being a govt

How does it feel being impatient for getting results by Everything bee knows

Eagerness before result declaration The longing that we feel is just unreal. Here the result is our mark sheets. This is something we are very impatient about, till the point we get the result in our hand. Nonetheless results are hands down very exciting and anticipated the most. At this time in my life, I’m going through the same phase,”the unstoppable and uncontrollable urge to get the results”. This thing has come up just for one cause that some colleges don’t declare the date of result distribution. One gets a surprise cum wake up alarm in the morning of the result day which is a quite pumping start. Well, it’s a special experience which definitely can be enjoyed but it’s much reliving when one knows about the result date. Now, I know there are only some days left for the actual date of result but the level of impatience of me and my friends have crossed limits. It’s become routine for the past days that anyone’s message from the college community is only for one topi

Review of the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee / Everything bee knows

To kill a mockingbird The most recommended book ever and an American classic surely keeps up its name. I didn’t know much authors, being a beginner, so I searched the Internet for most recommended and must read books. This book was on top of the list. I got this book and it has a different structure and writing to understand for a beginner like me. But I understood and that’s a great thing. The story is narrated by Jean Louis Finch aka Scout who is a small girl, living with her brother and father, she is 6 years old or so, who’s always taunted by her aunt for not being lady like more like a tom boy. Her mother died when she was small and can’t recall any memories of hers; she gets to know about her from her elder brother. They lived in a very remote town where some neighbors are harmonious and some are bitter. During summer holidays her friend ‘Dill’ would visit his aunt and was very close to Scout and her brother. Once he had ran away from his house to meet them. The starting

Review of the book Ruined by Paula Morris / Everything bee knows

Ruined by Paula Morris First of all this book was given to me by my sweetest friend. I would like to say thanks to her for lending her book and letting me read a whimsical story of which I’m going to review in detail below. Ruined as the name suggests, this book is absolutely based on stories which has a very intricate and complex background which creates present problems. The protagonist is a sixteen year old girl Rebecca whose life comes to a turn when her dad decides to go out of the country in china for work and sends her to her close to a stranger aunty in New Orleans. She had no clue what New Orleans was going to be like, how she’s going to make new friends. But in New Orleans things were much more troublesome for Rebecca. The hierarchy in schools and society made Rebecca isolate from the whole scene. But one time when she goes to sneak on her school friends at a cemetery, where she was restricted to go by her aunt, she gets dashed on to Lisette (the ghost) and

Review of the book Five Point Someone By Chetan Bhagat / Everything bee knows

FIVE POINT SOMEONE After reading half girl friend which I found quite amusing, I got interested in knowing his first book and which was his most popular book and got this book. At the first instance I had no clue what the title meant but as you go in the world between the covers everything starts appearing in front of you. I would say that this book is far better than half girl friend. The comparison is with respect to the content, the story and humour as well. But then as I was reading I was getting a hunch that I know this story. And after that I learned the fact that 3 idiots is based on this novel. My reaction to this was wow but the movie is improvised version and the main characters are taken directly from the book and also some events, thought the movie is not exactly as the book. My experience as I read the book was very amusing as it never made me feel bored or anything. I was so into the book that I used to read it while having food which I never do even during my exa

Before exam drama : satirical take on exams

Before exam drama Everyone is well aware about the pre exams drama. And how the level starts rising as the starts come closer. The D day when you have to test your mental ability and the efforts which you put out in this few days. Even though we had plenty of days with us but these last few days are such, which really matters. These are the days when you get your study mode on. This is the time when you regret not having studied before. This is the day when you become an over intelligent person all of a sudden. The journey starts with making a timetable which has no start and no end. The main timetable for the exams are declared ample days before examination. This is not the timetable I meant here. The study timetable which we make is when the drama starts- a dreamy picture of our sought out goal. Being over ambitious and scheduling subjects as if were going to finish it in a day . A mere ''dejavu''.

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins Book Review

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins book review by everything bee knows There was a strange and very constant urge to read this book from a long time. But this book was hardly ever available in the local library. But finally I got my hand on this books and I swear my patience was fruitful. The book is a rainbow of imagination brought to reality. Though you might think that I might have watched the movie before reading then that’s not the case. The main fun lies in first READING THE BOOK THEN WATCHING ITS MOVIE . Its when your imagination comes to lives. As I did not read the first book and directly read the second book, I was sceptical that I wont understand the whole background but the introduction was enough to understand. Though not in detail mostly a brief one. The story starts  with life of katnis after the hunger games. The clashes between heart and loyalty. Proceedings of victory parade followed by announcement of the horrifying 75 th Quarter Quell. The adventurous a

Badminton instruction book by roger mills book review

Badminton instructions written by Roger Mills Let me tell you that being a beginner myself this book has been written in 1975, is still can be practically used. Although the new techniques and regimes introduced nowadays are different from what was prevalent then in practice but, these old techniques which are still are of great importance for learning the basics and then advancing yourself. However I would like to bring to your notice that this book is the first ever photographical and written document pertaining to badminton instructions. Such a great delight of reading this book which had this vintage vibes that kind of takes you in that era. The background is that this book was written when badminton was not even an Olympic game. I had no idea that badminton was not a game in Olympic until 1992.   Now coming to the book the instructions given are precisely written that any layman can understand it easily. The pictures are black and white and some are quite quirky or I would
