A Bad Listener Story

Let's begin the story of a bad listener!! My husband(Sivy) and I decided to write any English language proficiency test to get an AUS PR, and as our prejudice was PTE is easy to crack compared to IELTS, we decided to go for it. Without any hesitation, I booked my exam on Oct, 6th 2018 to know where I stand. Before the exam week, I watched all E2 videos from youtube. It was too difficult for me to understand the pattern itself and to remember when to write, speak, read, and listen. Listening was like Greek & Latin to me, so I listened to one thing and wrote different thing completely which I didn't realize for a few months. After the first devastating attempt, I just gave up and never thought of writing PTE for four months. I got to know about Nakul Gowda & Skills PTE Academic in the month of February through Sivy's friend, and I started exploring the reviews on facebook. Without much delay, I enrolled only for speaking initially in Skills PTE Academic onl

PTE Mock & Real Exam Experience

Don't miss to read my 8th attempt and what PTE expects!! Mock Experience Date 7 Apr 2019 Scored Test A 14 Apr 2019 Scored Test B 14 Jul 2019 Scored Test A 21 Jul 2019 Scored Test C Listening 69 72 74 70 Reading 66 69 73 79 Speaking 80 89 83 71 Writing 67 77 74 84 Mock A Even though I took the Pearson Mock A from home, I was so scared and anxious to take the exam. This resulted in bad scores, so I was totally down. My husband (Sivy) motivated me and asked me to compare with the previous results. I soon realized that I was the one who has to circumvent the anxiety, but I was still helpless. I slowly stopped thinking that I have an exam, and I kept in mind that I can take another exam even if I fail in this. Mock B With a fresh mind, I took the Pearson Mock B, and this time I was little satisfied with my results. After attempting the Pearson Mock B, I planned to focus more on the Reading, and

When Love Came Calling by Preeti Shenoy (Book Review)

Hello Peeps..... It's been two months since I published any blog post. I was locked up with a tight schedule in my project, and It's been a few weeks as well since I had a good amount of sleep. Much thanks to Nivar and the power outage helped me to complete this book. The story began with caring instructions of Iguana named Vincent, so I was totally engrossed in the narration. The protagonists' Puja & Arush met at the community development programme and fell in love. The storms came in their life unfortunately separated them, and the story went on with little suspense towards the end of the book. I hadn't learnt any new facts from the plot except about Iguanas. I felt this book is lexically average, so I learnt vocabularies enough. This YA book was fast-paced and gripping till the police raid at Ashwaty Bhawan. Later, I find it is boring, cinematic, and overemphasized. After flipping through 100 more pages, the plot eventually intrigued when Puja devised a trip t

Road - Traffic Cubicle Decoration

As a team VR16, we implemented and decorated our Cubicle (Not Cubicle but Meeting Room) for the topic "Social Awareness" during Diwali Celebrations in the year 2015. We used the meeting room white board to stick the letters. We took printout of the left "ROAD" and used double-side stickers to stick the cars on it. We used sellotape to stick the serial bulbs, The white bulbs are always dazzling one than others. Today's AS-IS Road We wanted to showcase our roads in India. Do't mistake us, we exaggerated in these pics. Wink!! All the newspaper snippets are glued in the thermocol sheet. This sheet is fully covered with Chart papers on which the quotes are written. speed thrills but kills We created with more fun, so the dog is dead on the road :-D " Speed Thrills But Kills " " A Spill A Slip A Hospital Trip " A Spill A Slip A Hosp

[Book Review] Matilda

I was fascinated like the librarian, Mrs Phelps when the first chapter revealed that a four-year-old Matilda finished reading "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens within a week sitting in a library while her daft parents, Mr & Mrs Wormwood didn't care what she was doing. Matilda There are doting parents who are always proud of their children, but on the other hand, Matilda's were wholly opposite and disgusting. They both wrapped up in their own life, soaked up in their own pride and wealth, and forgot to be parents. It wasn't doubtful that she was truly longing for her parent's love. Mr Wormwood made money by selling used cars in a mint condition. He tricked quieting the gears using sawdust and fiddling the mileage of the car using electric drills and etc., He was boastful about it and diddled the customers. It irked Matilda, so s he was waiting for the right time to knock her father down. Matilda was also portrayed as vengeful in a good manner. Eve

[Book Review] A Girl to Remember

I was curious to know who could be "A Girl to Remember" from the first chapter, but it changed my guesses several times. Only after finishing the middle of the pages, It was predictable that it could only be either Annu or Pihu, but it was worth the wait to know who she is. Neel, the protagonist, was just a human crafted out of stone. He was unfaithful in relationships and was far from emotions. He would stoop so low to change any circumstances into an opportunity for his desires. An intrusive Pihu tried to help Neel out of nowhere when his life turned into a fiasco, and she also obsessed with him which was mistaken by Neel. He was eventually sheltered by a charming woman, Annu, who was the mother of Pihu. Pihu was mostly portrayed as preposterous and juvenile whereas Annu was progressive and strong. Other characters, teenager Ananya, the understanding friend Aarav, Neel's weak mother, ever-loving brother Nikhil, unstable Neha are developed and their shades depicted we

Which is Growing Up ? Perfection or Learning ?

I thought Perfection in Quilling gives the fulfilment.. When i started making quilling earrings and cards two years back, i was little interested in on line selling too. But those days I never realized my quilling is imperfect, since as a beginner i was happy that i made it. It is the feeling every DIY'er will get after finishing their handmade creations. They don't stop there, they start sharing to friends. That is an awesome feeling. Likewise, i shared with my colleagues, most of the people appreciated, since they saw it only as a Creation. Only very few gave me a proper feedback that something is missing in it "Finishing and Perfection". You can see my first Quilling stud picture. Doesn't it seem like a shool girl creation. But i was 23. This was acceptable, but not ideal. So i decided to grow as a perfect quiller and started chasing the Perfection. So, I was intensive to search what i'm missing from the inter

From Another Bibliophile....

When I haven't finished any book to write a review and all the current-reads are in a midway, book haul post is deemed as the only rescue. Loot Loot!! These books hinged on the suggestions from List of best-selling books from Wiki and other bookstagram posts. As I truly care not to lose my desire for reading being a newbie, I always pick up best-selling which never disappoint. I've already reviewed Matilda and The Prophet from this book haul. Honestly, I wanted to traverse all genres from hideous romance to pretentious fiction like Hazel but including teen's novels. Needful Things by Stephen King is still on my TBR though, and I never dare to pick it up seeing the huge book. Books are the best companion in the world when you delved into it, and most of the books talk directly to the readers. It keeps your sanity at bay. When the narrator piles up on the details, It effortlessly takes you to the unexplored world around you without moving the feet. That finger

Babel by Rebecca F Kuang

4.5 ⭐ ✴️Can we attain what we lost in the tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9)? ✴️ The silver geared the London city, giving life to the rich on the island in the 19th century. Stolen words from other languages were contributing to the basic life of the British Empire and making them clever and industrious. The forgotten child, Robin, as if his daddy couldn't be bothered to love him, was privileged to take advantage of the silver resources and international silver trading situations while studying at the Oxford Translation Institute, known as Babel. When the international silver business affairs unfolded with their cunning intentions, would he dare to destroy the ecosystem at Babel? It was not just a sandcastle that can easily be destroyed; its wards are protected. Throughout the story, this timid and unselfish boy had been trying to find his own harbour in this violent coercion and struggling to give up on his sense of belonging. Reading Babel was mostly interesting, as there were many
