Agitated Sunday.

Honestly, we do not like being annoyed but the world is a bitch and we always tends to be more and more agitated if things do not pan out our way, right? When I have some important work to do, my dog keeps bumping the toy on my keypad or grabs my footwear and starts chewing it, in a hope that I would give him attention. It sounds cute, I know but it frustrates me as what I want is just a little bit more focus while I do whatever I am doing. It is just not about it, even when I have few minutes and I think, "Okay, now I am going to clean my room, make my bed and read a novel for an hour", the doorbell rings or it's either my phone. And, when I don't get that particular free "sunday", I get super annoyed and exhausted. I shout, I scream and then I feel like crying.
                                       
Irritation. I am pretty sure, I am not alone. Here are ways I have decided to cope up with.
  1. Whenever I feel like screaming at my dog, (it's usually him), I'll take a deep breathe, calm down and show him a treat in order to shut him in his crate. It may sound cruel to you, but what is crate-training for after all?
  2. I will try to avoid thinking what people did, or how foolish or selfish they might be acting. I'll let go off all the expectation I have of them and do what I can do best within my own limits and not do what I do not want to. Why force myself in being the "nice" person? Why?
  3. I dislike the person I become when I am annoyed and usually, it's me who is bored and not the other person. I decide to take less load and do what I want to do instead of doing what I am "expected" to. Trying to be nice, I forget what my first priorities are.
  4. If I am irritated with someone, instead of taking it out, I'll count to ten and tell them that I will talk to them later when the time is right. I guess, it will be much better than shouting insults.

These are my thoughts which might help me tackle my irritation levels. Are you annoyed of the world around that often? Let me know your ways. :)

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

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
