Hi guys, I am Shwetha JM a Fashionista, this is my first fashion blog. The truth is obviously I have no idea how to start the blog but I would like to start with my introduction.
Many of you might know me only as a fashion designer. Have you ever thought of asking me What is your personal life? What do you like and dislike? What are your hobbies and interests? How did you start your career as a fashion designer? What made you inspire to be a fashion designer? etc., etc., etc. No worries, here is my short introductory video about me and my life journey. I hope you would like and enjoy it. There are some points to be add more after you watch the video. Stay tuned.
I hope you guys have watched the video, there are quite a lots to say in my journey. I have a lovely family of 4 - My Mom, Dad, Sissy who is now currently studying 12th Boards and finally me. During my school life, I used to be so silent, calm and alone because I am complete introvert at that time and I was literally so scared to talk with my classmates. Then, my one and only best friend Aishwarya who made me survive during these days even till now. She is my whole world, mentor, supporter, companion, comedian and soul sister. We used to spend so much fun time together like eating lunch in class, chatting near basketball court, reverbs cultural, business battles, farewells, etc,etc,etc.
Now, I have changed completely into strong mature and organized person. During my college days, I really do miss her for not being studying together in same college. Then, my another new friends Poornima, Prabha, Supreena, Oviya, Mathange, Poornema, Sneha, Petrushia, Akshaya, Yoga Lakshmi, Shahana, Abhirami, Arokiya Mary(My college friends), Anjana, Jaya, Jeevitha & Madhu (Aishu's college friends), Swetha Sakthi, Priyanka, Ardhra, Supradeepa, Varsha Balaji, Aarthi, Aparajitha and Upanya (My flatmates) came to my rescue. Without them, I wouldn't have survived for so many years of my life. We used to have fun during the class, sometimes bunking college but we never got caught that was a close call, watch movies in theatre together, birthday bashes with black forest cake that's the only best cake in college, amazing selfies, festivities celebrations like Pongal, Diwali, Christmas, new year eve, sleepovers, eat out in restaurants and much more.
Now, due to pandemic, we stuck up at home attending online classes and we almost missed our study tours, farewell, meet-ups ,etc,etc,etc. and now I really do miss them a lot. I almost feel like ended up being alone again but sometimes I do keep in touch with them through social media. Oh, I almost forgot that I was continuously introducing my friends instead of me. So let's talk about that, my favourite hobbies are reading books, watching movies and Hollywood series & sometimes K-Drama, playing indoor and outdoor games like carrom, Ludo, snake & ladder, monopoly, Uno, kho-kho, badminton and throw ball. These games really helps me to relieve my stress and lead a happy life.
You know what, I am a complete foodie and I love all sorts of food like Indian, Chinese, Continental, Italian, etc,etc,etc. but I am an eggetarian (Vegetarian + Egg) and I hate non - veg because once I had chicken lollipop during my childhood days and later I had severe stomach ache. From then, I completely stopped eating non - veg. My favorites are pizzas, burgers, French fries, pav bhajis, pani puri, channa samosa, butter naan and paneer butter masala, chole poori, Gulab jamun, kesari, Sweet Pongal, Kaju katli, schezwan fried rice, mushroom biryani, parotta kurma, kuska, chocolate cake, egg omelet, cheese balls, popcorn, Maggi noodles, veg Hakka noodles, Choco lava cake, potato fries, dairy milk chocolates without nuts, spicy garlic rice, rasam, garlic bread, spaghetti, variety pastas, and much more. Now, I literally feel so hungry right now after seeing this so much foods.
By the way, there are some foods that I don't like it too such as ghee, buttermilk, lassi, curd rice, payasam, halwas, brinjal curry & fry, zucchini, broccoli, bitter gourd fry, chicken, mutton, fish & all sorts of non-veg, custard apple, papaya, avocado, strawberry, mango, ice-creams, kiwi, peanut butter, groundnuts, ladoos, jalebis, jangiris, chocolates with nuts, walnuts, oats and much more.
Things I love to do is spending time with my family and friends, watching tv shows, beach waters, early sunrise and sunset, irritating my younger sister everyday, listening to music, dancing to every tune, airplane and train travelling, playing with kids, sleeping, love to wear traditional & western dresses, attend wedding functions just for the meals hehehe and much more. Things I do really hate are gossiping, bad mouthing, talking behind my back for no reason, feeling left alone at home and using me for some purposes, small talks, irritating me with audio messages, road travelling, hill stations travelling, exercising, breaks trust, lies and much more. During my past times, I used to be so immature, shy, introvert, not ready to mingle with everyone, angry, lost confidence with myself, isolated, day dream during classes, confused, lazy, etc. But now, I have completely transformed into a new person with confident, organized, creative minds, intelligent, extrovert, ready to mingle with everyone, calm & composed, active, smart and follow time management. These changes have really made me so happy that I could finally do things what I like.
Initially, my family and relatives didn't support my fashion designing career as they thought that fashion designing is a competitive world, waste of time, won't have any skills to do and cannot survive. But, I proved them wrong by showing my extraordinary well versed skills with digital fashion illustrations, photography, fashion flats, 3D fashion rendering, printmaking, mood boards, color boards, inspiration concepts, social media marketing, and even done many fashion internships too. They were so proud of me that one day I will definitely become a best fashion designer in future.
Initially, I had suffered a lot with negativity, criticism, heart broken, teasing, bully, weird nicknames, comparisons, pairing me with random guys, bad jokes, hurt, frustration, depression, anxiety, health issues, discomfortness, jealousy, bad dreams, etc., etc., etc. But now, I have overcome these sufferings and fears that I am a new complete strong person with full of positivity, confidence, spiritual, peaceful mind and happiness.
You know what, my mom and dad used to say that I have super memory power since 3 years old that I could even remember all sorts of birds varieties from the cards, cars and their logos whenever I see them while travelling. Honestly, it is weird, but actually it is true. If I don't have so much memory power. I wouldn't have wrote such beautiful memories in this blog, hehehe. Anyway jokes apart, I would like to end with my own quote - "Design your dreams & thoughts, passionate with your actions, until a new you arrives". It means that you need to plan your goals & dreams and convert it into a reality in your own actions which makes you a successful person and that will become your own identity and that world will know as this person in future. Last but not the least, here it comes your little surprise, yes guys this is me, my lovely childhood picture along with pomegranate which is not much visible. I used to be like a doll and so chubby & cute. This was taken in August 17 1999. Look how cute am I hehehe.
