Looking Back At The Beautiful Journey

Did You Know? Rubik's Cube Can Sharpen Your Brain. I Read That Somewhere. Some trivial information just before I dive into the main topic. It is almost a year since I had started blogging. And if you are someone who has been following my blog since quite some time now, you are pretty much going to assume that this is not going to be a life-hack/scientific/educational kind of post, and I must tell you, you are right at your assumption. So all those who came up thinking that I am going to say things like Floccinaucinihilipilification means an act of deciding that something is worthless, hold on, please. I mean this isn't going to be utter nonsense. Human beings have shown a great deal of intelligence since their evolution. Life has been a mixture of good and bad, and we have dealt with everything pretty well. All the education and strategical skills and positive habits show that human beings are presently unstoppable. The sky is the limit? Wron...

Flowers Aren't Always Glossy, Just Like Some Truths Having spent nineteen years on this planet that we call home, I won't really say that this duration is enough to take a jibe at the processes of life, however much I might feel compelled to do that. I mean that is kind-of my coping mechanism. Still. I cannot really try preaching what “I think” life has in store for any of us. For the simple reason of not having enough knowledge about it. However, being the super-intelligent person that I think I am, I can list down three truths which you might want to know, much better said, you have to know. So here is the list! 1. What happens when you try pleasing everyone? You lose yourself. Why is such an obvious thing here? Because people do not understand the vicious cycle they are getting themselves into once they try meeting those demands. What vicious cycle? Suppose you have a friend you love immensely. It turns out that they don...

Hour Glass I learnt this free-time-mechanism quite recently. If you are going to spend your free time sleeping or something, you are going to regret it once you get busy. Have you experienced this, or is it just me? Free time can be so overwhelming! It's like you want to do a lot of things but you can't think of anything. When I am busy, all I crave for is some free time. But as soon as I get ample time, I spend my time choosing what to do, ending up not getting anything done. Can you relate to this? Well then, here's a list of things that you can choose from whenever you get some free time, that might even benefit you, and I am sure you won't regret spending your time this way! 1. Learn something new: It can be anything of your choice. A new language, or a musical instrument, or a skill like swimming. The list might go on, and I am sure that you must have thought of learning something interesting but never got the time. Well, now you have time, so...

A Thousand Splendid Suns Book Cover A book by Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns is one of the most magnificent books that I have ever read. Just like The Kite Runner, by the same writer, A Thousand Splendid Suns will successfully induce tears. It is just the way in which Khaled Hosseini writes. You have to stop reading, just because it is too much cruelty in there. The plot revolves around Mariam, and then Laila, two women of Afghanistan, and how they survive in a condition when several atrocities were done on women before and during the Taliban reign. While Mariam is an illegitimate child, who loses her mother at a young age, gets married off to an older and physically abusive man, Rasheed, immediately after, and almost fifteen years later, find Laila- Laila, who loses her parents and brothers, all to the war, and marries Rasheed under dire circumstances. Under an abusive husband and the Taliban, how do these two women survive and try to find their own happine...

The Kite Runner Cover Author Khaled Hosseini has his own way of captivating a reader's attention in his books. “The Kite Runner” was his first novel, and rightfully, a best-seller. There are so many instances where you absolutely have to stop reading, because most of the time, your heart cannot just take more of it. And that is the beauty of this novel. It holds your attention so much that you get to be a part of it.    "For you, a thousand times over." "The Kite Runner” is set in Afghanistan, at a time when the Taliban regime was about to end, and the location shifts to California in the later part of the story. Stressing upon a friendship, a father-son relationship, and bullying due to racial differences, the novel is bound to break your heart more times than you can think of. And if you have already read it, here are a few instances that were heartbreaking to us:- 1. Hassan being  bullied by Assef. The novel emphasises on the fact tha...

Person Tying On A Laptop A few days ago, we had discussed on here about how there are so many lies that we say, that are so common! But let us now consider the fact that we are surrounded by technology and a lot of our time goes into interacting with people we have never met, and probably will never meet, which further lets out possibilities of being lied to to our heart's content. With all the lies that we say and hear online, let's surf through some of them! 1. I accept the Terms and Conditions- Spoiler alert: I didn't even read them. Basically, it can be translated to “Yeah, fine, whatever. Now get off my screen”. People accept it just because they have to to go on with their work, and if with all the advanced intelligence and everything, the internet thinks that the people aren't lying, I don't even know who to blame. 2. Those pictures that show everyone on social media having a life better than yours- Their pictures on the social...
