The Pandemic Times: A Blog

THE PANDEMIC TIMES: A BLOG

You see, there are times when human civilization is experiencing joie de vivre, progressive advancements and a whole lot of efficiency in terms of character. Then there are times when humans are absolutely impoverished, disoriented, and on the verge of total catastrophe. These times are somewhat like the latter. The pandemic times are ones to be forgotten. This year has been stinking bad… absolutely, out of the world bad. We have not been able to go out freely. The human nature itself has been put to test in these trying moments. I mean… how can you expect someone to stay put inside his house for a very long period of time. We’re people, after all, not some unconscionable, domesticated animals!

In my case, it was like you had stepped into the underworld with some punishment, a mouthful of boredom. I have been feeling bored for most duration of the pandemic since it’s conception. I haven’t felt this bored since the time when I had to go to some grocery store with my mom (The only exciting thing there is when you get the chance to make your own shopping list and fetch those items).

Now, the situation is like a rollercoaster. Sometimes, the viral cases decrease abruptly, and the next day, the number of cases sky rocket out of the charts (if you know what I mean here). But nevertheless, life’s not great in this scenario. I am enervated of this continuous rollercoaster-like situation and hope that one day, this virus gets a run for its money.

Being inside my house for such a long time is excruciatingly annoying. The irony is that we seek to return to our homes after going out for some important work. In my case, it felt like I was being punished in the eternal fields of damnation for no apparent reason.

But recently, I finally got to get some fun. Some sports academies were opening in different schools, strictly following the COVID 19 protocols. I was on cloud nine! I thought that now I had some shot at staying fit during these challenging times and play some sports when all I was doing was studies.

For me, these times were full of lessons. I learned to support my mom. I learned to help her when she needed it the most. I learned patience to wait for the right opportunities and the right time to do things. This pandemic-even though it has taken a lot of lives and scarred numerous ones on the way-has made us respect our environment. Sometimes I feel that Mother Nature sent this deadly armada of viruses to teach us a lesson.

I just pray that soon we will get to walk on a better, greener and healthier planet and this COVID 19 gets eradicated from the face of humankind. A very safe and happy new year to you all.

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 ...

Dans cette dissertation, je vais parler de ma journée.  Alors, je me réveille à 6h30, parce que je ne me réveille pas à 6h00 sans ma mère en me criant. Après cette routine quotidienne, j’habille, je mange mon petit-déjeuner, et je prends le bus à l'école. A l'école, il y a beaucoup de périodes.

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...
