The never-ending facades of life

In today's day and age, the world we live in, is a condescending mixture of bitter sweet occurrences. Some may be good, some bad. Because of all this, many of us would cave in and not do anything about it, many would find solace in themselves, and some may just be hesitant to manifest whatsoever they feel. " EXPRESSIONS" are a very important factor and expressing what we feel is imperative. The society we live in "forbids" us to exhibit what we feel and we as puppets on a string, don't do anything about it. We listen to the strangers of our society, following what those strangers do and confine ourselves with those isolated emotions kept hidden from everyone. Some people even feel that, to show emotions or to reveal what they feel weakens them, makes them more vulnerable, more prone to getting hurt. It isn't true. When we articulate what we feel, our brain goes through a rush of emotions; joy, sorrow and also mixed some times. Ever seen a painting, h...

" MIRAGE ", An optical phenomenon which is witnessed by an individual due to the refraction of light. Everyone would know the scientific "definition" or the scientific way of describing what a mirage means, but the following is with no relation to what scientific theories have to do with the terminology. So basically, mirage is a deceptive yet a very comforting view to the individual which gives them "hope", A hope to carry on for the next hundred feet just to see that it's destroyed. Deception, it's a part and parcel of life. Every thing and everyone can be illusive. Deception is what shapes the superficial world we live in. One second life gives you this bewildering and joyous moments, and the very minute you start enjoying it, life takes it away from you. But that's the way life is supposed to be. One can't expect all good and no sorrow. Or one can't experience all the pain and gain no happiness whatsoever. Life is about give AND t...

Isn't it kind of absurd that people think playing sports is more of a time waste than it is a blessing? Yeah, sports are one of those many little things that makes a person happy, gets a smile on the person that is definitely worth a million and also, it brings the mind and body at peace. The same old, "Don't play else you will do bad in your exams" or something so confusing as, " you are thin hence you don't have to play ". It's things like these that are so annoying. Playing sports is more than just a physical exercise. It's a way of life. It helps in developing so many characteristics in a person. It helps in team spirit, mental and physical discipline, peace of mind and problem solving skills. There's a famous saying " leave a man alone in the ground and that is when you'll see how their behaviour is " I had the same old monotonous life growing up. I was never into much of sports and physical activities. But then, around 6...

" TRAINS" ; Extremely noisy, air polluting, tedious modes of transportation. The above is only the way we perceive trains. That is how we see it from the outside and hence , jump to the conclusion that, train journeys are long, agonizing and not at all worth it. At least , that was my opinion about it. After I joined college, trains HAD to be my only mode of transport. I used to commute from my place to college and back only in trains. At first I was like, " why god! It's so hot, it's so idiotic. Why didn't I select the bus? " , but then .. once i started travelling, I saw the real pleasures of life. Yes I do accept, that train journeys especially , the suburban ones can get very irritating , but these irritating journeys are the reason for me to have made amazing memories with an amazing set of friends. Friends who I knew not before, but now, friends without whom I can't even think of travelling. I Guess this is what all theses things do. Make you ...

Hey guys, so starting off. I really wanted to talk about something I hold extremely dear to my heart. The art of Photography. I'm not that adroit at This , but I would love to give it a try. I'm am engineering student , and torn between my academics, extra curriculums and my long term goals , I just wanted to take out time to do something that really gives me happiness. "Photography" , it isn't just a word. It's a way of life. The joy a person gets when his camera is able to catch the perfect smile of a new born , or when the never ending "see you tomorrow hugs" of the good old school friends still remains intact in their albums. Many people mistake photographers to be happy and expect them to lead a life that is superior. That isn't true. A photographer sometimes just captures the smiles of an other person because he misses the smile of someone dear to him. Taking photos, and exploring the adventurous, fun , and possibly EVERY thing of anyone a...
