Trying to study amid self-conflicts and doubts. I'm so depressed and worried about my future.
This decorative piece made of brass, crafted so beautifully with Indian craftsmanship, has been more of a sacred object than just a decoration. My mom always worships it on the day of Mahalakshmi Puja.

This turns out to be a Hakata doll, not a Kokeshi. Thank you @kojiiwata for letting me know!!
More info about these dolls that I looked up on the internet;
A Hakata doll is a traditional Japanese clay doll that originated in Fukuoka (formerly known as Hakata), on the island of Kyushu. These dolls are typically hand-crafted and painted, known for their realistic details, soft colors, and serene expressions.
This is the modern version of a kokeshi (γγγ) doll. Though they are usually made of wood, the ones used as decorations or souvenirs are often made of clay, ceramic, or other materials.

I've made a decent study plan for my upcoming exams, though I'll admit I'm very scared. Also, I've finally decided to add dried snapdragon (flowers) to my commonplace notebook. We'll be moving out in a month, and I'll have to leave this beautiful garden behind as well. I've spent more than twelve years here, so I'm drying some flowers from the garden and placing them at random pages in my notebook.

π: I've finished setting up my April study journal.
πΆπ»ββοΈ: My daily routine has been too sedentary; I should start taking walks again.
π€: I have only 25 days to study for the entrance exam; it's time to lock in.
Analyzing past papers to get a sense of what to expect in the entrance exam amid the tensions throughout the nation.
I've got 22 days until my entrance exam, and I'm slacking off a lot. So, I'll start a challenge to track my progress and stay accountable.
I'll begin tomorrow, and my goal is to study for no less than 12 hours a dayβthat will be the absolute minimum.
