The calm after the turbulence 

I didn’t realize when I started referring to myself as her and at some point, I became separate from her. Disassociation is what it is called, meaning to detach or disconnect from something. Now a coping mechanism, it also helps me remember how far I have come. It’s a very normal thing people go through when sometimes they switch into autopilot mode. I think we all look back to the time when we were emotionally unstable, usually during late school years before we started to understand ourselves and what we were looking for. And in my opinion, it is absolutely necessary to go through this period of chaos to find the difference between black and white while we figure out our lives. 

As we grow up, we unintentionally start saying or expressing our feelings to people, but the problem arises when many a time they come out in the wrong way. Misdirected anger, non-stop crying, toxic sarcasm, and hate-instigating conversations are the result of suppressed emotions. The thing is that no one wants to be the negative person around people, neither did I. I also wished to have the personality of a bright sun but at this stage, all your brain can do is radiate negativity that has been cooped up inside for such a long time. 

But over time I grew out of my own little bubble and started noticing that there are bigger, graver issues than what I used to stress about before. I understood how important it is to not take little obstacles on the road so seriously. When faced with such issues, I now make a habit to chant the phrase, “This time will also pass” till I am filled with enough courage to face the problem head-to-head. I still remember listening to this the first time from a substitute teacher, it was absolutely dramatic just like a movie. The moment I heard it, my mind decided to store that piece of advice so deep inside that it could never be removed. And truly, just as I imagined it, it has helped me for so many years in my personal growth.

     “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
