Bid Adieu

When Pink Floyd said: So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? I think he was questioning me.  It's been ten years to school, yet the impulsiveness in me has remained intact. It's been ten years since this blog, but am still pondering on the life I want to live. The overthinking or the misguided decisions have still been a part, for so long.  Progress? I might have gained a few friends and fun experiences, but I have a share of bitter memories and learnings that I never use. That I never inculcate.  When I started here, I wanted to make mistakes to live a full life, without realizing that those mistakes will strike me like a lightning over and over again. Now, I just want to take a pause.  At this point, it feels like that twist of the novel or a movie, where just before the climax, the hero has figured out that all which had changed was of no use, and

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. For

Gratitude

 As this year I had vowed to have a rise in positive thoughts in my mental system, I have seen the stones turn around. This doesn't mean that I do not have my lows anymore, but for sure I feel that am attracting positive energy and a lot of laughs. Thus, as the month is ending I decided to jot down a pretty list of things I am grateful for. I am grateful for the opportunities I had,  Grateful for the people who pushed me down, Thankful for the ones who made me smile,  For they made me see all who I could be, And the all who I wasn't till then. I am grateful for I am better, because of my experiences, Thankful that I know the worth of the small things, Am glad I know how precious friends are, And that I cherish every single phone call. I am glad that God gave me a chance, To see how beautiful life is, When you are around people who are full of lush, And who are full of laughter. You know what I am happier about? That I want to keep my friends so close, for I lost them once and c

What a Waste

Blood is still gushing through your veins, Yet something seems to have changed. Don't you see things a little bit differently? even after the end of a decade. The cold wind blows through your hair, While wetting your cracked lips, you quiver, Holding that smoke in your hand, Once again, sitting here - you wonder.  What a waste of a year it was, What a waste of energy, It's like you never learn,  And get stuck in brutal and fuzzy.  Is it all a lie, when people smile, Seems they are trying for a while To blur their senses and go for an escape, Or is it just you, Sitting in the corner all by yourself, yet again.

Being a Slave to AI?

 Last night I was binge watching Netflix, because I have my accounting exam. Who wants to study that, eh? In the middle of the two idiotic rom-coms, I also saw a documentary "The Social Dilemma".   When you find it on your Netflix feed, by the name itself you shall think, "Oh! It is going to tell us how internet is scary and etc etc.," and you'll continue to scroll the feed to watch something else. Why? Because YOU cannot face the truth, that the SOCIAL PLATFORMS where you want to spend so much time on, are actually owning you? Artificial Intelligence, isn't just about the robots killing people in the future. It is in the NOW. It is running your lives. The people who themselves were a part of the platforms, like Tristan Harris - share the scary impact that social media has on the people around you. For example, take the rumors spread on Corona Virus? You think those people were not manipulated on believing that? No one is that stupid. It's the AI that ma

The Last Thought

Did you know that on average, a person has 12000 to 16000 thoughts in a day?  Of course, we don't remember all of it. Writers need to put down their thoughts on paper, right there and then if they find them interesting. Or blippi-ti-bloop the thought will be forgotten, and might never come back.  It is evident that not all our thoughts are worth thinking anyways. Sometimes, they come in a cluster which makes it impossible to be in the present. Who is being harmed by this? You, right? I listened to a Sadhguru video a few days back, where he told, how we can use our mind for happiness. Instead of belittling ourselves, we can create stories or scenarios that may or may not come true, but at least will serve the purpose of cheering us.  Unfortunately, most of us let our minds rule us, instead of us being the one in control of it. We are human beings, and yes, we shall get upset from time to time. But, it's our mind that pulls us into depression. So, why not use our minds for the be
