Poeple and their differences: A whole lot of pain and wonder.

People are different. Everyone is. We are taught that to be one of the indisputable and inscrutable facts of our current generation, right? Almost every new baby born into the Gen-Z generation knows about that fact and we tend to focus on the well-being of our bodies using this very statement as one of the most basically recognised benchmarks. Everyone in my generation seems to have their stuff figured out a lot better than our older, more hard-worked parent generations. They had it hard to begin with. They worked their arses off to do things as simple as get a Rs. 10 notes in their economy. In comparison to how our parents lived, we have lived a life of luxury magnitudes above that of the richest landlord of the time our parents were the age of building dreams in the clouds and having the mind as vast as oceans. Things were NOT easy for them. Nor are they for us. It’s just; the form in which the challenges have started to appear are a lot more sophisticated and subtle as compared to...

ComeBack Blog

  I honestly don’t know what to name this blog... So let’s just say it’s an open-ended log. The NEET exam just concluded, and boy have I a lot of things to add from my personal experience from the whole shebang! First off all; what even happened? Physics? I mean… who even made this paper? If you wanted to refine the selection process, you should have at least made the paper moderately tough, not inhumanely tough!? The physics section really made me question my choice for taking a drop year. I mean… if I knew beforehand, by some magical intervention, that this was the fate in store for me, I would have done a full 180 and backed the hell away and done a whole different stream by then. Just kidding! I am not that weak of a person. Still, I am hoping to get into a good medical college this year-round and continue my studies with renewed gusto from there on. This year has taught me a lot of things… among them included that life is not about scoring great marks all the time, nor ...

Movie Blog

  Cinephiles and Movies Cinephiles have been around for decades. When cinema first started, cinephiles came along with them. It’s like when you buy one pack of chips, and get a soda for free (I know, a very weird analogy, but my brain isn’t the best of places while I am writing this bit for my article.). movies have been around for a very long time. We love them, we see glimpses of our daily lives in them. We relish them with all our being. They are a form of escape from our very real realities. What can be better than that? To be in another world… a very different, much better world than the one each one of us currently inhabits. A world where everything works out your way… a world where you are the main character, and the very fact is accepted by all who inhabit this imagined world of yours. Truth is, this compares to not even a fraction of the real pleasure it gives us watching movies. And watching them in theatres is the best. After all, theatres have been created for that ...

Happy life: A myth or reality?

  Happiness: A rare virtue Everybody wants to stay happy; it’s something you can’t just take out of people. Every single person on this planet is indulged in the eternal (at least for as long as our physical manifestation allows us to walk this earth) pursuit of happiness. Do they ever get it? Do they manage to achieve what they have been yearning for? My opinion: all these questions can only be answered by the very person indulging himself in this endless chase. Does he find himself happy? What’s even more compelling to ask is: how can he tell whether he is happy or not? I think I have established this before quite well that emotions are a subjective phenomenon; what one might feel happiness from may be the reason of anger or sadness for the other. People connect to each other by emotions; they look for people who possess more or less the same emotional spectrum as them. For example; usually best friends are people who have the same likings, exhibit the same emotional behaviou...

A mad insight into madness

  A MAD INSIGHT INTO MADNESS God works in mysterious ways… on one hand, he bestowed upon man the most powerful and somewhat splendid gift of all; the human brain. On the other hand, he gave us the power to question the very reason of our existence. Now, if we are to further expand upon this train of thought, and let our minds wander further into this enticing yet treacherous path… we will eventually stumble upon the notion of ‘madness’. What is madness? Is it an emotion? Is it the idea of losing one’s sense of reality around him? Is it the thing which is shown in psychological thrillers? Who knows? But why do we want to know about it? What is it that drives us towards madness, and the most terrifying thing out of all of these... why can’t we treat madness? Let’s tread back a few steps... and first try to understand why is it that this notion of ‘madness’ is such an intangible concept of today’s world. Is madness connected to emotions? Is madness this amalgamate of unknown emoti...

Feelings

  FEELINGS Ever heard of this word? Course you must’ve. This is the one word which is used in almost every possible sense when it comes to the phenomenon of emotional perception; “How are you feeling today?”, “Do you have any feelings?”, and most of all in the romantic sense “Do you have any feelings for me?” (Though to be honest, that line sounds super lame to me). I for myself don’t know what it is that drives relationships. It’s like this cycle; you interact, navigate your emotional landscape, make a judgement on the basis of your analysis, and finally decide what course of action to take. What usually happens is that very course of action leads to disaster more often than not. I simply don’t see the point, of trying to find someone when deep down, you know that this endeavour of yours is going to consume a major portion of your life, which could have been fruitful in other ways…. But here’s another question which rises in my mind…. What Is Fruitful? This is kind of a ...

NEET Result Blog

  MY NEET RESULT: WHAT I LEARNT FROM IT It was…. Just good. I won’t say that it was what I wanted, but it is just enough for a semi-government college. A score of 627 is also a bit good… but it certainly isn’t what I and my parents wanted. The sadness will be there, that I could have cracked NEET with better scores, if only I had controlled myself on the day of the examination. If only I had exercised more caution while attempting the paper. But we cannot dwell on the past for long. We have to face our reality and move on with it. What we can do in fact, is take lessons from our failures, so that they aren’t repeated again. There are good colleges around the score of 625 as well, but they are semi-government or Deemed universities. There are other good colleges above 627, but sadly I won’t be able to get into those because of my score. But who knows? Maybe my score increases by some margin. All I can do is hope for the final NTA results to come out and for some out-of-this-worl...
