Hi there! Welcome to the fourth episode of my blog. Today I'll be writing about a topic that has been overdue for quite some time now, my fear of failing. However, I did not understand what it actually meant until I felt it. Simply put, it is the fear that one might fail even before attempting something new for the first time. Today I want to share with you how I am overcoming my fear of failure one day at a time and making it my strength. Understanding what causes the fear is the first step towards overcoming it and thus after days of research and several sleepless nights, just kidding! But I did give myself some time off from my daily hustle during which I found a few reasons that caused my fear.  Also, I realized that sometimes all we need is a little break from our mundane tasks and lots of snacks to sort out our lives. Anyway, here I am mentioning a few of them, something that-according to me-are the most common ones. First one being, I compared my work with others a little to...

Heyaaa! Hope you are doing fine. Welcome to the third episode of Journey with Hues. Some art lessons along with some of my life learnings is what today’s episode is all about. Although I was really excited when I started this blog, I pretty much knew that sooner or later I had to find my niche, if I can say so. And maybe, just maybe today’s episode is a first step towards what I want this blog to be all about. Watercolours were the first thing that came to my mind when I was thinking of a topic to write on, could be because of my  love for them. The art one can make using watercolours is only limited by imagination. I have just started exploring watercolours and believe me every time I paint something new, I learn something new. But this wasn’t  always the case, there was a time when I almost got annoyed with watercolours but let me tell you how it  all changed. Watercolours were introduced to me during my school years. I vaguely remember an activity book and a  wate...

    Something that kept me anchored… Hi there, Hope you are doing fine. Welcome to the second episode of my blog, wait a sec, is it episode or chapter or something else? Anyways welcome!!! Now if you are new here, I am really glad you found me and chose to read my blog. Also, if you have already read the disclaimer in my first episode, you my friend are the coolest and if you didn’t please head out to my first episode of this blog then you will also be the coolest too :p, I am too lazy to copy it here :P. Yea yea , I know, I dragged it too long! I am an over thinker, over writer (if it is even a word) and what not. Ok let me start… Ok the year 2020 was like a  present from your relatives which you disliked a lot and wanted to throw right away but you just couldn't because your mom would scold you if you did and hence had to keep it forever with you. And 2021 is proving to be still worse. The amount of uncertainty and the anxiety that this pandemic has brought along is...

How it all started?? Hey...um Hi! Hope you are doing fine! Let me start by saying Ahhhhhhhhhh! I can’t believe that I  started a blog! Well now I have to believe it since I am writing this. Well before I start to narrate my  slightly boring and a whole lot of inspirational (wink XD) journey (which has just begun), let me write  a disclaimer first. DISCLAIMER: Okay first things first, I am not a writer, I am an amateur artist. Although I have this  awesome imagination full of space and stars and moon and so on, I am not that good with words.  The only reason of me starting this blog is to share my journey of finding my passion and working  towards my dreams. To share my thoughts, my learnings, my mistakes and also some dramatic life  stories and experiences (which I’ll totally exaggerate). Another thing, I am also not so good at grammar! So there may be several mistakes that I’ll be  making along the way, so please bear with me. You can also sugges...
