ORIGAMI and ME

Hey, world! I'm Subeer! You might've understood from the title that this blog is about origami. Well, it's a long, long, long, long, long thing to read, so I'm going to start simple. I discovered the art of origami when the Covid-19 pandemic struck the entire world, and of course, India too. And I have to agree, that it was one of those dark times. With the pandemic's darkness, some people started seeing that faint light in the darkness. And I guess you can say I was a part of those people. Everyone discovered new stuff, some people took up painting, and some became "self-proclaimed chefs/cooks". And I, trying not to be last in the race of " learning new skills", discovered the beautiful art of origami. I started off simple, I had A-4-sized papers all around the house, and I used to fold a variety of models from those papers. And boy, that was a joy. It gave me tons of pleasure and satisfaction, and I felt quite proud of myself. I wasn't the kind of guy who knew 3rd-grade geometry and couldn't align the folds properly.

I used to watch youtube videos all day, of course in my free time, and used to fold models. I still remember the first-ever origami model I had ever made during that time. It was simple, yet fun to play with. It was a fidget toy, I used to pop the center in and out and that was it. And it was from a square of orange paper. I felt proud of myself, to be honest. And anyone could do it! Those were amazing days, as I was a beginner in the world of origami, and I was learning and folding along. Gradually, my folding level went from beginner to intermediate,  then high-intermediate, and finally complex. I'VE DESIGNED A FEW MODELS TOO! But yeah, I can't make quite the effort to remember the folds, do it again a couple of times, and finally publish the thing with diagrams. So, it has been a great journey, and I do consider myself a budding origamist! Well, I would move on to the next post, you should too! Cheers:)
