  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 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’.

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 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 ...
