Pushing Boundaries.


When you are closer to achieving, a far-sighted dream - why does the fear engulf you?
I guess, the fear is a good sign. The thrill, the adrenaline tells us that we are pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone. Once fear strikes, doesn't mean that we stop. Always. It only suggests that we choose wisely. Think deep into the situation before hopping on a decision.

There is nothing in the world you cannot do.
You must dare to achieve what the world thinks you cannot do.
You should push yourself to do the things you think you cannot do.

What are these quotes for, by the way?
As I sit here mongering on the brochures of various colleges and stressing over picking the right one in the right city - I fear. I fear to lose out on my comfortable life, working with one of the best MNCs.Would I be able to do online shopping for the next 2 years? hah! Would I get boost in salary that I expect after my studies? Would I even get a job? What if I lose out on the amazing friends I met here in Delhi? Would I.. what if. and what not.

Should I? Should I leave for the city that has always been in the corner of my mind - Pune? Or should I leave for the one where my friends are - Bangalore? What If I end up in the city where no one I know lives - Hyderabad?

I wish to leave Delhi though. The irritating pollution and the fashion conscious people who think "That" is everything, eh.
Oh, Next year. I fear your arrival for this year was pretty much amazing. But who am I to stop the Time.

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
