Been A While, I Know

Hi guys! It’s your gal, Mel, back here after a long three months of going dark. And I won’t beat around the bush any longer; let’s get a few things out of the way, starting with— 1. It’s My Birthday! Yep, it’s true! 14th January 2023, and I turn… fourteen years old. It’s an official age reveal. I, Melody Vega, am a teenager, who writes your favourite stories. No kidding. For my birthday, I tried a new art medium: sneakers! I painted (and gifted myself 😝) my own custom kicks, and here is a Deviation explaining the whole deal. It was a fun experience, and hopefully you'll be inspired to paint your own kicks! (And a happy birthday to me, too. 🥳) 2. Sweep The Old, Adorn The New As usual, I gave the blog a makeover too; not only with the colour theme and font, but I also cleaned up the sidebars and got rid of old links. Let’s ring in the New Year with this one! 3. An Important Announcement I’m pretty sure everyone’s wondering: why did I not post anything here after September? What’s ...

Reality Reel - Part 4

Hey everyone! I’m back after going dark for a month—sorry about that! This part of Reality Reel  took an extremely long time to finish, because a lot of crazy things are coming up! The posts may take longer to complete because we are finally getting into the main swing of things. Enjoy this part! 16.

While I’m heading to the entrance, I steal a quick glance at the final list posted on a board: Top 13 Contestants Aman Kumar  Anil Tattikotta  Anshita Rajput Arshika Sharma  Eeshvi Mishra Florisha Gogoi  Neera Tiwari  Parita Tamang  Prakhya Das Prithvi Kongari  Sankalp Chanana Sobhit Barman  Swati Rishi Kashyap Seeing my name on the board, the newly familiar feeling of pride and being a contestant sinks in, and I smile big-time. And, yes, Aman made it too! The three of us—Aman...

Reality Reel - Part 3

Hey there! So, quick heads-up on the uploading schedule of Reality Reel, now the posts will be up every Sunday instead of every Saturday, for me to increase more time to write them, and for you guys to increase readership. As for today’s part, we’ve got a big surprise coming up, so dive in! 11.  Char Mahine Ka Chamakdar And… we’re in Mumbai. The capital of Maharashtra, the centre of Bollywood. And the place where I’m going to get the redemption I deserve. After we landed in the city yesterday, Papa and I checked into our hotel and then went to the briefing for the first episode. The crew told us that the second audition round may stretch for days, but out of the thousands of kids who were selected, only some will make the screen. At least, enough for four episodes. I hope I come on TV so that I can show the world that I haven’t given up.
