The boon of writing: A way out of loneliness

Image
Writing has to be one of the most underrated skills. It is profoundly useful in almost everything because writing teaches you how to think. Almost any teen curious about life could be called a philosopher but his thought process is scattered all over the place and he tries to portray himself as someone worthy which he’s not. When you try to jot down your thoughts your pace of thinking slows down giving you control on how to think, while before you were in a over speeding vehicle. If you can think, speak and write you’re absolutely deadly. -Jordan Peterson Being your own friend Social beings need to be expressive, more so when you’re human. We have evolved as a tribal species living in groups like lions and monkeys unlike tigers; but the modern world has made it inevitable that we live like a tiger. Everyone has social media and countless friends but no one to really talk to. The amount of loneliness we feel in this 21st century is just staggering especially in the young generation. Thi

A Story on being Alone

Trishneet shifted to Mars after having a bad breakup to live in solitude. Although Mars wasn’t really different from Earth, the population over there was significantly less which made it very peaceful. He wasn’t particularly hurt, he was just a little sad that a companion who was there all the time wasn’t around anymore and her absence was felt. If you’re not aware, this is how most men really are. Since, nature has endowed responsibilities to provide and protect; a man never wants to show his weakness. So it would not be true to say that Trishneet wasn’t hurt, rather, he was unable to comprehend what had happened and how he should react. Still if you observed him, his social activities weren’t distinguishable from others apart from he was a little aloof. People usually become an introvert after a heart break but these are different kind of introverts. They actually mingle into conversations fairly quickly once they’re able to connect and are not overwhelmed. They usually try to make p

The intoxicating beauty of women is dangerous

Let’s talk about women today. This is going to be a male-centric article and if you’re someone who says you’re a feminist but doesn’t really believe that equal voicing of opinions should be applicable to men as well; then kindly refrain from reading further. Women are one of those breathtaking creations of nature that in themselves are inexplicable. It would be foolish of me if I try to describe their beauty in words. Just look at them when they’re dressed their best or when they’re caring for someone (because to nurture, is their innate nature) and you’ll need no evidence. The level of sophistication they have while being so innocent is so much fun to play along with. If you were to talk to a man you can mostly get to know what kind of a person he is within half an hour or so. But it’s not the same with women, they’re actually not very predictable. It may seem that they lack substance but if you bear with the initial ice breaking it is so much fun to interact with women. Having friend

Leaving your father's home is necessary to become a man

Image
It is always better to have a bad/weak father than to not have a father at all. The confidence a child develops simply by the mere presence of a father figure is often overlooked and also goes unobserved by the child himself. Mothers nurture a child and are all about loving the child, their primary instinct is to feed their kid and keep them safe i.e, away from trouble. A father teaches his kid view trouble as challenges because that is where growth happens. A boy who grows up without a father figure lacks self-esteem. He doesn’t have the guts to mess with someone stronger than him even in mischief which later on makes him unable to stand for what is right in life. He can’t take a stand and stay firm at it, all of this happens unconsciously while he would think that he’s getting proper parenting and his life is good since he has a loving mother. When you have a bad/weak father, at the very least you have his name and are not discriminated by the society and you’re able to figure out wi

The beauty of Spring lies in Autumn

Spring is arguably the best season on Earth. Sprouting of flowers from the buds of a plant, chirping of birds and the constant flow of cool breeze makes you feel alive and kicking. Almost everything you see is coming to life and even those trees which have shown zero signs of life are budding flowers which is so satisfying to see and the entire environment is covered with vegetation. I feel like Spring signifies the best moments in our lives. All the victories we have had, the cheerful moments with our loved ones, all the experiences of the inexplicable wonders of nature resembles epitome of ecstasy. We feel on the top of the world during these times but sometimes during these, we fail to realize what actually got us there. It was a result of all the hard work that you poured in before hand. When there’s a dopamine surge in our brains i.e, when we achieve something it drops our IQ by at least 50 points. We just get in the moment emotionally that we are unable to process things in a rat

When procrastination leads to Failure

Image
All of us have been guilty of procrastination more than once in our lives. This article is not the regular talk on how to beat procrastination and succeed in life. We talk about failure in this one. See the thing is, procrastination is easy; so damn easy. All you have to do is convince yourself that there’s time and you’ll cover up tomorrow and Humans, what do I say. We are masters at self deception. Ever had a dilemma choosing between two equally compelling options? Then you weigh out the pros and cons of each and make a rational choice, but it turns out the one you didn’t choose was in your fate and now you quickly adjust the pros and cons to your favor so that you don’t feel you lost and whatever happened, happened for the best. This happens all the time. Credits: Photo by cottonbro from Pexels But the real problem is something else. It’s the first law of motion, regarding inertia. The regular running away from facing the reality becomes a habit, and a very strong one. Its no less

My Village Experience

Image
Hathiyahi, Khajauli My Grandparent’s place The last time I went to my village was in 10th grade to attend a relative’s wedding. All throughout high school and 3 years of college I did not get a chance to go there until the pandemic happened and now, I am in my final year of college. So, it’s technically 5 years since I last went there. If you ask me what’s the best and worst thing I’ve noticed this time; I would say, “Nothing has changed” for both the questions. My village is a typical one, gravel road, public transport only till the nearest sub-city, thereafter you’re on your own or you need to ask your relatives to pick you up, there’s electricity outage every now and then, farming is the primary occupation, almost zero restaurants but maybe a small Dhaba or independent food sellers selling eateries like Pakoda, Fofi, Kachri, and the likes, the running water has a lot of iron in it, bad phone network and no internet (obviously). There’s also an old temple that has a Shivalinga which
