No Regrets

What is the first thing that enters your mind when I say 'future'? I don't know about you, but all I feel is fear. Maybe that's a common thing in the majority of final year students. There is a hell of pressure. Being a graduate, THE SOCIETY expects a respectable earning. As our peers start performing better, there comes an unavoidable tension during our own show. As most of them call, the race begins. But the way I see it, it's a totally different perspective. I'll try to elaborate. 

Just imagine you are the richest person in the world, there is nothing you could not afford. You have the best athletic physic anyone can imagine. No one can beat you. You know all the possible arts in the world. In short, you have everything in this world. Literally.Then what? What would you do? There will be nothing to look forward. You will never understand the fun or satisfaction in achieving something, as you are unbeatable. You will never get the joy of learning new things. Everything is kind of IN-ORDER, Right?


Even according to thermodynamics, the total entropy, which is disorderliness, of the universe goes on increasing. Then why we, human beings, are trying to make things as ordered as can. That's just impossible. There is no need to follow the so-called rules of THE SOCIETY. Because at the end of the day it's you who will decide that what satisfaction is. 

So coming back where I started. Future! Yeah, I am afraid of facing it. There are many hopes, aspirations, dreams, goals. There is fear of failing. There is infinite uncertainty. But that is the fun part. I will fail. I will hit hard. but I will learn as well. I will understand the importance of consistency. Good qualities will be developed, Bad ones will be eliminated.

So do you remember any trip you had? You planned for things. On way you found new adventures. But you skipped them just to stay according to the plan. And later you just wished that you should have taken that adventure. For me, future is that same planned trip. I have my plans too. But I am not going to miss any adventure. I am not going to have any regrets.

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

Writer's block

It's a phenomenon which a writer stumbles into once in a while. Basically s/he is not able to write anything. Somehow, the thought cycle which connects to words resulting into something meaningful is broken.  In other words, Monday blues. Unable to work. But this is little different with a writer. In an office, there will be an external enforcer (a Boss, in fancy words). But with a writer, it has to be a force within. An Intuition. But that's the thing, right? The urge, the motivation, the intuition, at times, just fades out, once in a while. When the linearity of life just stops bothering you. You fall in love with the concept of dormancy. Basically you become a couch potato (Until your mom starts to scold). But I feel, sometimes this block is a necessity. In terms of  industrial engineering, it is called mandatory buffer. A system should never be run at its max capacity all the time, or it will fail. Just like humans.  In life too, we keep figuring out what's next, all ...

Inner Demons

Once upon a time there was a king. He was a nice person, a bit self obsessed though, with a benevolent heart. His image was great in the public. And he always emphasized on keeping it that way. So this one time, a small village within the state had a very big lake, it was so deep that even the professional divers couldn't find the bottom. It was the source of income for all the villagers. A giant monster with big horns had appeared at this lake from nowhere. He had destroyed many fishing boats, taken captured fishes, vandalized people. So villagers decided to approach the king, regarding this matter. Once they told the king about this, a little afraid king(inside), said he'll handle the monster himself. Cause he needed to maintain his greatness. His ego was too big before the fear. Next day, the king went to the lake, alone, to fight the monster. The monster and the king had a great battle. At a decisive moment, the king hit the monster very hard, bu...
