Influencers– in layman terms –are people who have the ability to influence a large group of people. “Do influencers have a moral obligation or responsibility toward their followers?” if I were to speak in a non-conflicting and peaceable way, then– yes, they do have a moral responsibility because they have the resources to persuade and sway the public sentiment (especially creators with a large fanbases) and thus, they need to be mindful of the effect their posted content will inevitably have on the common person– but if I were to express my true opinion, it would prove to be a bit unconventional. You see, I ardently believe that the internet and the social media platforms on this internet should be used in a true and righteous manner, but the problem which arises is that these terms such as “true’ and “righteous” are relative depending on each person. Everyone has their own definition of what is “right’ and what is “wrong’, thus, we cannot really blame the person (or in this case–i...

hey there! so i recently read this highly recommended book- Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors. this article is about my views and thoughts on this book. book synopsis_ “The three blue sisters are exceptional—and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest and a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced lawyer, lives with her wife in London; Bonnie, a former boxer, works as a bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating defeat; and Lucky, the youngest, models in Paris while trying to outrun her hard-partying ways. They also had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose unexpected death left Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky reeling. A year later, as they each navigate grief, addiction, and ambition, they find they must return to New York to stop the sale of the apartment they were raised in. But coming home is never as easy as it seems. As the sisters reckon with the disappointments of their childhood and the loss of the only person who held them together, they realize the greatest secrets they've be...

 i would identify myself as someone who pays a bit of extra attention to the inconsequential things in life. A lone pencil that has fallen on the ground, the reflection of the nearby buildings in a puddle (sometimes its holographic! we used call it unicorn piss), noses of people, texture of skin, earrings, the pleats of a saree ,etc.  maybe it's because i took my inspiration for my paintings from the real world instead of an aesthetically pleasing moodboard on Pinterest during my early years, but these kind of things really used to distract me until a few years ago. not in a bad way but like, in a distracting way (you get it). but now, I find this weird talent of mine gradually fading. i don't pay mind to the faded print of a bedsheet anymore like the way i used to. similarly, a shiny keychain doesn't make me excited like it used to.  and I accept that when life gets busy we don't have the time anymore to fixate on such things but it also makes me kind of sad, like I am...

hey there! so i recently finished reading a book titled - The Last Queen by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and i wanted to share my thoughts on that.

 This is my first ever blog, and this is my first ever post. I figured it would make sense if I introduced myself to my future readers first. Hello everyone, I'm Danika, a 14 year old high-school kid who is extremely passionate about art and loves to read.           This was me at 12 years old trying to imitate Picasso (not a fan of him anymore) I mostly make multimedia paintings and clay crafts but I recently also started to learn crocheting. I have a pet dog named coco, who is the love of my life, a younger brother and a beautiful family.                                 This is coco btw (she's a pug) In this personal blog of mine, I will keep record of my life experiences, recommendations on movies and books, stories that I know and just random tidbits of my life. Oh, and I also started an art account on Instagram and yt channel recently (for those of you who are interested, i...
