The yellow dimmed. The stars were white and the background was black– pure black. They were racing towards me at a great speed. They were in countless numbers. The wind blew faster. The stars were approaching at a great speed. Their light was blinding. I wanted to run away. But… but I wasn’t able to. The …

I never asked to be normal
All those superheroes who have greatness thrust upon them? And feel half-uncomfortable-half-this-is-so-cool at the first moment, and the later-with-great-power-comes-great-responsibility shitheadedness that happens with them? They never asked to be who they became. “Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” – William Shakespeare I …
I am my own coolness
I thought I was the only guy cool enough to think that this place wasn’t cool enough. Everybody, I’m surprised to find (well, quite a large number, in any case) has the same problem. That the other people are weirdly lame, hopeless and/or don’t do any work. So they’re all saying the same thing about each …
God and beliefs
This will be a short one. After yesterday’s post, I swear. So, I visited a temple (an overrated one, at that) recently. And I asked myself, am I an atheist. I definitely have a problem with religious people, who do all the vegetarianism-bullshit and claim it to be symbolic of some kind of devotion. I …
Failures
I recently received numerous examination results of mine (well, two, to enumerate, but that’s still more than average). And I failed in both. I didn’t fail per se, but the results were pretty bad that they left little, if any, scope for being happy. I consider that failure enough. What’s the value of a result …
Save the planet?!
Save yourself. Save the tree, save the bees Save the whales, save those snails And the greatest arrogance of all, “Save the planet”. What?! Are the fucking people kidding me? Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. …
Major Joke: That kid makes up questions for himself, and even those he can’t solve
Major truth: He is truly awesome. Or at least, so I believe. When Lockhart said, In fact, if I had to design a mechanism for the express purpose of destroying a child’s natural curiosity and love of pattern-making, I couldn’t possibly do as good a job as is currently being done. I didn’t quite agree with …
What gives us more pleasure: the pursuit of of our desires or the attainment of them?
From Tony Robbins’s ‘The Monk who sold his Ferrari’: “How would you drop an egg thruogh a height of four feet, with a floor of concrete below, and still not have it cracked?” Trivially, we all begin by thinking how to circumvent the hardness of the concrete, or the weakness of the egg. We do …
Do we value only what we struggle for?
When was the last time you were delighted to get something you were ‘supposed’ to? For instance, how many of us would actually delight in receiving breakfast? Not me! What we do not struggle for, we take as granted — the most fundamental example being our own existence. Rarely would one find somebody so conscientious, he …
