It's the age old question that categorizes you as a pessimist or optimist. An experiment conducted by psychologists to discover more about  the human psychology. It all seems pretty stupid to me. I mean you know me! My eccentric personality and deep thoughts. I have many a times found myself at the border where one situation bends me towards one side and another towards the other. I have been asked this question lot of times (seriously guys! its overated!) I have never been able to answer it because if I say its half empty am i really a pessimist? And if I say half full, well , am I really an optimist? After putting much thought into it I have derived a conclusion. That instead of pondering over it I'd rather drink the water and then think about whether I'm still thirsty. If yes, then where to get more water from? I am a realist, I don't always think positive and I'm surely not always negative. I live in the pleasant moment that is now but at the same time tend

Life is a series of moments. some happy. Some sad. Who we are and what we are is shaped by these moments. If we don't experience the difficult and trying times, what would we be? This is the balance of human nature. I just have to except this fact. You know some people are happy able to be happy even in sad times. I just have to master that. I know I will. I hope other people do too. This one time I was talking this classmate of mine and she told me that my problems were nothing compared to hers. And what problem was that you asked- "My parents don't allow me to use Facebook!!!" I felt like slapping her at the same time being tremendously jealous. I asked if that is the only thing that bothered her. That that was her only problem. She replied with a " Yaaaaaaaa , what else, yaar . But just because my problem is not a life or death situation doesn't mean my problem is not big. I am missing out on so much. My social life is in danger!!!!!." I was com

My Choice. The video , recently, released by Deepika Padukone has created quite some flack. Where half the world is with it the other half is against it. Or should I say the other gender? The video showcases Padukone and a couple other celebrities talking about how their choices are their business and nobody else's. What we wear, how we wear it, what we do, whether we marry or not? And , yes, to a certain extent women are entitled to their choices. But if they are entitled to theirs shouldn't men be entitled to their own. What they are asking is to not be criticized about everything they do. I believe in that. But then why should we criticize men about what they do? Being a feminist does not mean we be anti-men.That is not what feminism is. Feminism empowers women and just that. The anti-men attitude is putting feminism in the dark shadows.  So we ask for our rights but neglect others, whatever we do is our choice but what others do is not? If I look at it

If it is possible to be addicted to a couple of  printed pages like being addicted to crack, then I am addicted to John Green. He is my source of relief from the undermining world. His style of writing is addictive! Of course the first book I read by him was The Fault In Out Stars (I cry just thinkin bout it.) To all those TFIOS fans- there is more where that came from. Paper towns is a subtle love story. It is about the belief that we have in first love. It stretches the limits we'd cross for our loved ones. It goes beyond affection. It's funny (Green's got a real funny bone!) and more that anything it's truthful. It's fiction which makes you believe in everyday fairytales. It is the story of Quentin Jacobson, who since he was a wee little lass was in love with a girl called Margo Roth Spiegelman. 'A girl' won't be an appropriate phrase.... she was more of a mystery. People are way different up close than what we see them as from afar. Very, very di
