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 you are going to stay awake, in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep. Will you count sheep then? Or will you count all the people who entered your life and left? If you don't, you definitely have dreams to remind you of all that your life has been.

It is tough to mark the boundaries in your head, in times like this. From the very first love, to the last friend you lost touch with -- it is hard to let go of every piece. These people sire, they take up a space in your heart that no one can actually fill. Not even them, anymore.

However, you learn to live. You come to terms with your good memories, and the bad ones. And if you are lucky enough, you also learn to love, again.

    Don't know about times but one such love is enuf for life.
    Love can happen many a times but I feel madness for someone is just once and the best part is the memories of it which no one can distort or take away.

      Very true. It's hard to escape these memories, maybe because somewehere we don't even want to forget them in the first place.

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. F...

Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong. Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees, Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends, Spending our money on things that don't matter, Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress, The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy, busy being anxious about her fashion choices, because well, she got it all figured wrong. Yet, she thinks she knows it all, while hidden insecurities, she believes her fake personality is top-notch. So many people in meaningless gibberish Wishing to stay updated with the world facts, to become so opinionated that they can interact about everything that exists, But what are these opinions for by-the-way, If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway? And then, come those who wish to align with the world Fight for their society, or the well-being, Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands, Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob, who did maybe a wrong.

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...
