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

The Subtle Difference

Hobbies aren't something to ignore. Hobbies are survival. Everyone may or may not have a talent. Someone may or may not work on that talent. And only rare take it up as a profession. Performing on the stage, or unleashing your creativity takes a lot of courage. We are human beings, after all. WE ALL WANT APPROVAL FOR OUR TALENT. We seek appreciation for it, or we may sideline it. Which is why, I have a point - Surround yourselves with people who encourage you, for your own little hobbies. Someone who asks you about it. Someone who shows interest. Or how else would you grow? Not everything in this world is SELF-ORIENTED. For once, we need emotional support in life. If you have found it, KEEP IT. Take their feedback, take criticism, but make sure it is only in a positive light. There is a subtle difference between being demeaned, or facing negative feedback. Between constructive criticism and useless criticism. See, there are 3 kinds of people you could be with, in case

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
