Corona And Us

Image
We’ve stumbled upon something that mankind hadn’t for decades, something that wasn’t anticipated at all, something we did not see coming! It’s not uncommon to see a plague sabotaging human lives in the past (reminds us of the time when Newton was in college and the epidemic forced him to retreat to his home where he actually produced theories that revolutionized the way we understand the world), looking back, we’ve read about the epidemic rather normally (knowing that we now have the antibiotics tested and approved)in our history classes, but now when it’s our time to face it ourselves, we truly understand what it must have been to those people living in that century, when in fact the medical studies weren’t so adequate and sophisticated as we have it today.  COVID-19 is something etched onto us, something that we as this generation can’t narrow down, something we’re never going to underestimate(even after the cure would be developed), what began as a ‘news’ has completely manip

Everybody Lies

Image
It’s really been a long time since I last updated my blog, and I didn’t have the intention either to come back until two more weeks, however something came up and so enlightening you all with this sweet fallacy would be an obligatory virtue ;) From product commercials to news channels, it’s a fact we hear a thousand more lies a day which appear to be true, maybe it’s an intricacy for gaining attention or mending broken affairs, lying is something that has become so much as a characteristic among most of men (and women of course;) than as one time affair. Lying feels normal until the recipient comes to know that you’re doing it (or the other way around as well), its effect is more profound when it comes from a near one than a stranger. Much like any young individual would, or anyone for that matter initially has the habit of trusting everything that someone whom he considers near to be the gospel of truth, every single excuse, every single lie, or every single deception that

Later

Image
“I’ll do it later” is the buzzword today, the things feel difficult to execute not because they actually are but due to the lack of willpower. Let’s assume that you’re using your mobile phone for a certain amount of time, so what happens? Well your battery gets discharged, similarly if you do things that demand your qualitative attention of certain intensity then your willpower reserves get depleted as well. Doing a strenuous task for some time will render your discipline to numbness, but at some point of time we do become that person who would put any important work (important but not urgent) to “later” or “tomorrow”. Yes it will be comfortable, it will be the easy decision at that moment yet the long term repercussions that come with those light minded actions will be undesirable in the long run. Understand it this way, your willpower acts as two different things depending upon the nature of scenario you’re experiencing; it acts as a muscle and secondly it also acts a fini

To my classmates

Today was the last assembly that we conducted as the batch of class XII Science 2019, though time was at it's own pace but today I feel that it somehow   was biased, maybe it passed quickly for us, it just didn't feel enough, I hadn't even talked to some of my classmates (yes some) , and today it's over, the life that we had been hearing about from our seniors, the life in which each one of us were in our cozy comfort zone suddenly has come to an end. Now the life actually begins, and what is depressing is that our friends will not be there with us to handle the choices or the problems that we'll encounter on the way to our ambitions. Look at the size of his shades *-*   Yes as cliché as it may sound like, memories are the things that we really take along the way, you see when I was in class 10, I didn’t do much and I have no memory except studies (which does not qualify as a memory; they were concepts) so this year I feared of committing the same

Attention Controls You ?

Image
We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded by magnitudes of information and raw data, and it becomes difficult to manage the idea of devoting tangible attention to every single activity, however we are in the habit of devoting our precious focus to things that actually don't matter, things that have no real life implications, things that are genuinely slowing us down and our progress. We live in the so called 21st century where social media usage is at its peak and do govern most of our time and how we use it as well, and we lag around in the important things and fail to accomplish the results that we promise ourselves to achieve. So what exactly is the thing that I'm trying to convey ? Well the simple obvious answer is attention, we do not know where to divert our attention, attention is passed on to useless gossips, or to celebrities, or to the virtual world of social media and gaming more commonly. We are not able to become what we are meant to be and we migh

These Days

Image
It's been the 19th day since I've been ingesting 10mg of fludac; fluoxetine to be precise and I experienced some repercussions only in the 7th day and last Saturday and Sunday, these repercussions were short lived, it didn’t continue for many days on straight thankfully, I got really scared when these did occur last Sunday as well, but apart from these I feel adequately well, battling depression I feel has given me the mental strength and the emotional agility that I'm proud of, though the process of acquiring these were neither desirable nor easy at all, I don’t think that anyone would like to be 10X sad for no reason, and endure that scenario for even a second, yes, it just doesn't make sense, but guess that's what the white coats call depression. It's been 7 months since it first held me but my medication is helping me focus on the important aspects than finding comfort for the extreme darkness that I used to go through during that period. I know that

Eleven Twelve

So lets get to the point. Today I'm gonna mention you the generality of being in class 12(science). Class 12 was something that I always aspired to be in, you know when I was in 6th grade the students of class 12 seemed like the divine ones, the smart ones, ones who would be writing complex notations on papers, they had things written down even in their hands too, I felt like class 12 was the place to be in !!! I was deadly scared of math at that time, I learnt division only when I came in 6th grade, math was not my friend at that period of time and I had decided that if I would get admission to class 11 then I would not take math in any way. Seems funny today but math is my second favorite subject after physics, the transition has been a great one but definitely a good one as well. 12th grade is awesome!!! It's a magical place, yes confusion is frequent here, so it's magical ! . Let me share with you the generality of being in class 12 in my school, you may have h

Blind Pursue

Image
All of us have this tendency to follow great personalities and try to become like them, we even follow their words and quotes blindly, accepting them as gospel truth. However, should we believe in everything they have mentioned to be true ? Should we pursue the world as they have seen it ? Should we have only one way of looking at their statement when the quote is ambiguous ? Well that requires some art of the brain and I would like to throw some light in this intriguing aspect that we take it for granted today. The first thing that I would like to draw attention to is something that 21st century has forgotten about; the thing is that we all are different, you cannot be Einstein no matter how hard you may try, neither can I become someone else even if I imitated their entire lifestyle, but why is that so ?   So following every quote of Einstein will not make me achieve things that he has achieved. Each and every person in this domain has his own way of executing things that he f
