Mincing Words - Not !!

Hello everyone!  So we have arrived at the end of the initial phase of lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus. Although I have enjoyed each and every entry in my journal describing how it has been for the past 21 days I think the last 72 hours have been phenomenal. I say this because for the past 72 hours I have not been on duty except tonight and still have enjoyed each and every second of it. I know it is difficult to believe that a person could enjoy in the time of pandemic but do not confuse my attempts to keep myself happy with the normal joyous atmosphere a person has in normal times. I got back to my habit of reading, jogging and listening to jazz. Listening to jazz has been an easy task as compared to before when I was doing my under graduation. Now, we have millions of songs at the touch of our fingers if we are a member of any of the streaming services. Few of the readers had also asked me the reason for citing two of most uncommon heroes of my life in the previo...

Hello everyone! Today is the 7th Day of this lockdown. I hope all of you are in good health and spirits. As time has progressed so have my thoughts about the lockdown. Earlier I used to think about this lockdown mainly in terms of how should I spend my time meanwhile this disease leaves my country. Now my thoughts have progressed to what should I do right now so that it will be helpful to me when all of this is over. For the past few days, I have frequently mentioned that I feel a little sad or a little depressed due to this pandemic. Today while thinking retrospectively I found out the reason for the same. The explosion of information, news, memes and various other articles have confused us. They have thrown our world or I would say brain into more chaos then it can handle. In my opinion, everybody has a threshold for unreal and challenging things which they can handle in their personal life. This pandemic, lockdown and various other articles regarding both of these have c...

Society strikes back again. It looks as if all the things I mentioned in Misunderstood Girl  (Click it) were not enough. It had to go for a person's identity and individuality. Sometimes I think, Why do people think that what they think is absolutely right and there can be no other thought regarding that particular matter?  Most of my posts are written after research (as much as I can do). I never write when I am angry or am being influenced by any kind of emotions. I feel the blogs or any kind of post which I give should be self-explanatory and easy for everyone to understand. They should help them to change their point of view which is what they would do after a stimulus for thought. This is the first time I started writing because I got angry over certain things. I got so angry that I felt like punching in my almirah but I have learnt it the hard way that it is not the best way to vent anger.                   ...

I would like to dedicate this write-up to the soldiers of my and other countries who stand at the borders and protect the civilians without worrying about their own life and pleasures. It fills my heart with pride when I see a picture of a soldier standing on Siachen Glacier and smiling. I feel like saluting these men a thousand times.                                                                                                                The reason why I write this blog is to talk about the plight of such brave and courageous men in the twenty-first century. We all know that the work which they are doing is selfless and thankless. Getting killed by a bullet while you are thousands of miles away fro...

Before landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, I had never imagined that I'll see these three pictures on the wall and start thinking about my own life. I had never been a fan of art because I do not understand it. I don't hate it. It's just that I don't understand it. Sometimes I do not get the point of colours too. It's strange and weird but that's me - Weird and Strange.                                                                          So coming back to my point which is that this was the first art sequence which made me think about things. Things related to my life. My mistakes and good decisions. My achievements and losses. My will power and sometimes the lack of it. My determination in certain spheres of life and again lack of it in some. It made me think how I am ...

Leaving from a very long and tiring duty towards my mess I felt that I was Old and Alone. While crossing the main road (as we have to; to reach the other part of the campus) I took a step down from the sidewalk. The left knee buckled and I almost fell on my face on the road ahead which was full of traffic. The feeling of being old was pretty obvious from that but soon after the incident, I realised that none of the people (my batchmates) around me came to help. Not that I particularly wanted them to come and pick me up but enquiring about not getting injured was at least what I was expecting out of them. Before you judge me, read me a little further. I am no fool who would count this one incident as a reason to write about this topic nor am I a man who is particularly sensitive to share feelings and someone who wants others to pity him. These are just some feelings which I like to describe to my readers from time to time.               ...

CHAPTER 3 It took me some time to come up with this write-up as I was seriously confused about what to write. Confusion is there because of the millions of things I have done, experienced and taught to my pet. Initially, I thought that I will complete the story in three different blogs or dlogs (as I call them), but lately, I have realised that it is almost impossible to share my love for animals or this particular animal in just three write-ups. So I have decided to further increase the number to four and make an attempt to write about my experience.  Dog. Pet. Jugnu and Dog. Pet. Jugnu 2.0 described my experiences about initial stages of bringing a new family member in. As they were very concise that's why I have taken certain liberty at this time to describe in details about my feeling towards the whole thing. So here we go -: As I was saying having a dog at your house creates a totally different kind of environment. You get to see all the changes happening at ...

DISCLAIMER  I am not against any kind of invention, discovery or advancement of technology. This blog is not written because I feel superior to any other human just because of my profession.  This is not written to badmouth or discourage you from using some specific sites.  These are just my views about a particular subject. Nothing more. All the pictures used by me are downloaded from google and I do not own them.  I think I should start from where I wasn't clear in my last write-up , as, pointed out by few of my friends. So the problem about which I was talking was - the advent of technology in everyone's life. Before I express my views I would like you to go down the memory lane and remember about your school life. Do you remember how we used to have school debates and extempore. Now let the juices of your brain flow and try to extract out this particular information that in one of those you might have debated about the advent of technology ...

First though t -  Maybe some announcement. Wrong Second though t - OK. The author wants attention.  True In this particular piece, I would like to address an issue of - Lack of Attention amongst us. The motivation behind this particular piece is my real life friend. Lack of attention when someone talks, discusses, reads or writes something without graphical depiction of the subject is a real issue nowadays. The attention span of most of the modern humans has become smaller than the time taken by a hand grenade to explode after taking out the pin, which ranges from 4 to 8 seconds. This might seem like an exaggeration but is actually very true. The first proof in my argument is that few of the readers are already bored by now, reading about a Real Problem . So to just keep them engrossed here it is -                                             ...
