Challenge Accepted!

Post 2 : THE CONDOM CHALLENGE

  It’s the 21st century, the golden age of the internet, memes and ridiculous challenges. The oh-so-wonderful generation where human stupidity reaches its peak.

Bring teenagers, the internet, hormones and anything remotely sexual and what do you get? The Condom Challenge. In stark contrast to its name, if you ask me, the player of the challenge ends up looking like an over-grown foetus.

                                                     

‘Now what exactly is this “Condom Challenge”?’ you ask. Well basically, one person drops a water-filled condom onto the head of another person. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? ‘So, what’s the point of it?’ you ask again. Well, maybe to make people realise how easily a condom can tear (that’s right kids, abstinence is the way to go!)  Or maybe to raise awareness on how important a condom is. Honestly, I think people just needed another reason to play with condoms.

So, since when did condoms go from being the ultimate anti-baby making gadget to the subject of another ridiculous internet challenge, you wonder. A weird relation, don’t you think? Let’s travel back in time all the way to a pleasant summer in 2006 when a man decided to challenge himself to drop an elastic pocket filled with water on his head. The video was immediately uploaded onto Break.com (basically the older brother of Youtube) and voila! The challenge was conceived. Although it was born in 2006, baby Condom Challenge got its name only in 2012 following the Cinnamon Challenge; talk about a late bloomer. Soon everyone began attempting the challenge and it went viral in around 2013.

                               
                               

Some people say that the Condom Challenge can be pretty deadly, that the person could suffocate or choke under the condom. The same people also said that Snapchat and Pokemon Go were unsafe. Oh well, YOLO.
                                       
                               
So, here’s my suggestion: Skip the challenge. You don’t deserve all those dirty looks for buying a condom for the challenge. We all have a Mrs. Sharma who’s waiting to complain to our parents. Instead, grab some popcorn and a Coke and just watch the best ones on Youtube. What’s the internet for anyway?

                                      
                                  


                                 

 (On a side note, if anyone could do this, most of the world would be extremely grateful. And hey, you might even win a Nobel Peace Prize or if not, a super huge pizza from me. Good luck!)

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
