People are born not made, but some are not as privileged as the rest or lack something the others may possess. It is when such people rise above the rest on their own that they are called self-made. Self made, meaning to make or perfect oneself according to one's own will. True? False. Being self made requires so much more. It requires the knowledge to know your own self, to jump into the deep oblivion of your heart and brain and solve the mysteries inside of you. To conquer oneself, before conquering the world. It is to be philanthropic without letting it seem so. To be kind to your juniors and all around you without letting it get to your head. It is to watch your whole world crumble down in front of your eyes, but without as much as making a sound, building it up again without losing hope. It is to trust oneself when all else doubt you. If you can make it to the top after meeting with disasters and still call the ride to be the part because of what it taught you. ...

I pulled the last box out of the rusty mover’s truck and turned around to make my way upstairs. The stairs that led me to my new apartment were, to sugar-coat it, “dingy.” It was a Victorian-style building that was clearly a hundred years old. It was well lived in, by many old officials of the British army. Later, due to a shortage of space in the city, these apartments were rented out as smaller spaces for much cheaper prices. Anyway, I had no right to complain. I mean I was getting all this for peanuts. Sure it’s not luxurious but it fits my budget and has all the necessities. I reached upstairs to find the movers’ driver standing outside with the door ajar. He helped me stack the last box on top of the rest and stood with his hands on his hips. Are we supposed to tip? I mean, what the hell’s service tax for? He huffed and so I placed a couple of dollars on his palm that he had very demandingly brought out. He huffed again, disappointed, turned around and left, banging the door b...

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...
