Pratz The Brat and Random Rants- How not to be late and feel great!!!!

Namasate! Bratsters how ya doing? This blog is for all those people who can't get into the swing of the day till 10 in the morning. Whether you to school, work or just stay at home you can't afford to be late. Being late one to many times can give people a bad impression in front of others and might make you miss some important moments in life. So here is a rant to help you not be late and feel great.


Before you sleep:


1.Organise what you need:  Remember that oh-so homework you worked on and forgot , or that pendrive that had your presentation and you forgot. Doesn't feel good when that happens right? Ya i know that feeling too. So what can you do? get organised. Pack that homework, files, pen drives whatever you need it into your bag, as soon as you're done with your work. It not only saves time but also makes sure your hard work doesn't go in vain. I also personally pick out clothes for tomorrow, so that i can get ready faster even if i'm up late.

 

2.Post it :  Ok so we've covered up for things what we've did but what about things we have to do tomorrow ? So simple post-it. Yup simple as that , post-it , put reminders, alarms or calendar. Invest in a dairy or just download apps that have alarms and remind you what you've got to do. Just remember to enter it before hand.At;east a night before.


3.Eat soon and Sleep Early: This a crucial point which all of us ignore day after day. The best way to be healthy and feel great in the morning. Eat before 9 and eat less than you did in the morning.Eat healthy, Because it is believed that your digestion gets slower at night. Sleep early, if your a kid or teen get 8 hours , if you're an adult then 6 hours. The earlier you sleep the better you feel.

In the Morning:

4.Take a bath: Since your bright and early , take care of your personal hygiene.Take a shower, brush your eat and get ready. Take atleast a good 45 mins of it . It not only leaves refreshed but also increases your productivity at what you do.


5.Have Breakfast:  If you skip the most important meal of the day, how will  you feel great, have energy and be productive? So sit down and eat your breakfast and have a healthy breakfast. Eat slowly so that your stomach can digest it.

6.45,30,15 mins rule: My all time favourite and effective rule. I know this one by heart and hasn't failed me yet. It's simple take the route you're on judge the distance and the time, and if you're dropping someone off then calculate that distance and time too.Now that you an approximate right? Now just decide If your gonna leave 45,30 or 15 mins early.
So, that's it Bratsters my way of not being and feeling great. Hope it helps. Well have something you want me to rant about leave me a comment or just follow me and tell me cause i love being a brat who rants. Till then keep being a brat.

Prats and Random Rants - Things to do after an Exams

Hey everyone! Pratz is back after her exams!!!!! And boy does it feel good, I mean its an achievement(I know not totally but come on) So I thought why not blog about what to do after an exam or exams are over.


1. Bonn appetit: One of the best way to relax after an exam or exams is to eat because research has it that what you eat before an exam basically doesn't get digested well enough and chances are that you're hungry afterwards because i usually feel that way and when i eat , i relax.


2.Take a shower: The most natural response to stress is sweat. Therefore take a shower. Taking a shower not only relaxes you but if you have an exam coming up it also helps to clear your mind and concentrate better on what to do next.Plus if you don't have any other exam coming up then take as long as you need.
  


3.Go OUT!!!: I'll be honest I'm a total couch potato but after being locked up in my house for so long, there is so much sanity I can keep.Go out ! Not only does this release tension of that last paper but also help you relax so that you can focus better for your next paper, but no parties. Those have paper later go out to the park, eat out or just lounge on your balcony If you want to go a party do so on your own risk.

4. Get Together: Finally you and your fiends can go wild, head to the mall, head to the bowling alley or stay together at home/apartment/hostel/wherever you stay.Talk or hang out just chill and catch up or go crazy and paint the town crazy.
5.Get Back Home: Time head on home for awhile. You know get back to your roots. Visit your folks. Home was where you once grew up, an environment that has comforted you many times.
6.Plan a vacation: Go on an explore the world. You finally have time and the ultimate time for rest and relaxation . Head to the beach , Head to the Alps or To the north pole.Wherever floats your boat.Remember pack as half as you need.
There are a lot of things you could if the above doesn't fit you. Go do an Internship, Catch up on tv, or.....Do something RANDOM!!!!! Want me rant on something ? Follow me so you can tell me.Till then be Bratty and Random.

Pratz the Brat And Random Rants - Simple anytime Gifts For any to many Occasions

 Hey there , Everyone so this new post is kinda what i do when i'm not with my puppster! My nickname is Pratz who tends to be a brat and does a lot of random acts! So here is one those Rants.....

Okay, just yesterday was father's day , a day before that was one of my friend's birthday and probably a day before was there must have been some occasion. With so many birthdays, holidays, parties, anniversaries etc. Its possible we forget some times to get them gifts, and sometimes we have no clue what to get. So here a  gifts simple and go with any occasion.



  1. Money: Really Really stumped on what to get the person? Why not let them buy it themselves? You can give them cash in the formal way or get them vouchers to where they shop and let them choose.
  2. Books: This one is my personal fav. Not only are they great , but come in varieties themselves. They help kids grow up, play and laugh, can help some one on that bookshelf they've been trying to build, or help them learn to cook their favorite cuisine . So just find out what their into and get 'em a book.
  3. Clothes: Another great item on this list. Have you noticed that cute lil dress your friend's into and can't buy it ? Well what else can be the perfect gift then? You can also give them a scarf, beanie, beret and lots more.                                                                          
  4. Cards and Flowers: Cards are always a great option when you really can't be there. Pair with a bunch of lovely flowers a send people that your still there and you still care and remember them. Plus these things also don't need any reason to be given you know.
  5. Jewelry: Okay so may not be the most affordable one on the list. But still one of the best ones out there. Getting jewelry especially something with their birthstone in it can impress them in more way than one.                                                                                  
  6. Anything handmade: Really living on tight budget then why not make something yourself? There are some really cool websites out there on crafts that you'll never run out of options! Or got some one who has a real sweet tooth then bake for them ! Can't take your girlfriend/boyfriend to that fancy restaurant then cook for them. There are ton of things you can do with the stuff you find at home.
So got an idea work on it and don't worry if the gifts get exchanged later on (i know the feeling bums me out too) but remember it's not the gift but the thought that counts.

The best days are with Friends

Hi, you know when people say that their college and school days were the best..... and we are like ya rite, try being in my institution. But we soon realize that how true that statement is. 

As soon as we get out of that particular ERA, we come to know what we are missing. 



I met my college friend today after a long time , it felt as if it was an era since we had fun or roamed and did something together. Remember the days of the college where we are always discussing about which movie to watch, or bunk the class, or celebrating the b'day of a friend or a lecturer in the class....

Taking random pictures, funny one's. But the best part of college or school is being with your friends.... these moments are the ones which you are gonna remember through out life. seeing those old pictures on your laptop just brings a smile on your face, even without you noticing. Remember when your friends surprised you with that b'day cake.

Remember the look on your face, the happiness that you felt. The cake throwing, the soft drinks, chips, samosas. Jumping around, chasing your friends on holi day at college. The mass bunk, the way we sneak out of the class so that none of your department people see you, But as soon as you are near the main gate that you notice that your HOD has seen you leave & you tell you friend "are yaar hum tho gaye, kaal woh haame maar dalege".


When you have got less marks in your test or exam there is always a friend who supports you & tells you that you will do better in the next one and not worry & you are better at it then you think. The smile they put on your face, the confidence they provide you to grow, their support..... Its the most important thing in life.  The all nighters for our exams the next day, where we only talk & study in the measurement of milligrams. The dumb fights we have for dumb reasons. Which last as long the break & then making up over some nice hot pavabhaji's & milkshakes.

We all need friends like that through out our Life, to support us, to give us confidence, to believe in us so that we can believe in ourselves. "A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED" & its so true.......


  Remember that last outdoor trip you went with your friends, the jumping and dancing throughout the trip, taking a million photos, trying new food, buying loads of unnecessary things on the way. The ones you are never gonna use. But those moments are the best ones in our lives... these are the things which will put a smile on your face when you are down & blue.

We need our friends to get us through.... you may not realize it nor accept it, but its so true. We move on in life, some friends are left behind, some are lost and some we leave behind. We need them to tease us when our crush passes by, or that teacher we hate so much. Everyone we meet in life are not our friends, the one's who stand beside through thick & thin are the one's you can count on. NEVER EVER let them go.

We need them when we are happy, sad or any other emotion we are feeling, we need someone to share them with. As they say friends are jewels, keep them safe.........

Enjoy your days of studying, you are never gonna get it back & make them worth while.
