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 of negative feedbacks:

Someone who criticizes your work, so you do better at it.
Someone who is blatantly ignorant of what you do.
Someone who criticizes your work, so you STOP.

Which one are you with?

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
