Hello readers. Recently, I've been observing the sadness in this world. I was wondering How is it that everyone in this world is sad? How can that be? Every person I meet, Everyone I'm related to, all of my friends, every single one of them is sad about something. I just find that exhausting. You see, I believe, sadness is a default state of a human mind. We're all sad, always. It's like the electrons in the valence band of the forbidden energy gap diagram of conductors and semi-conductors. Our minds are always in the valence bond state(The sad state). When we get excited about something and light finally enters our darkness stricken world, we get into the conduction band(The Happy state). This, also provides an apt description of what depression is. It's just the bigger forbidden gap(Like in insulators). For example, a mentally healthy person would have a diagram of a Conductor and a depressed person would have one of an insulator. This would be better described

Wikipedia describes love as a range of emotional and mental states from sublime virtues and interpersonal affection to the simplest pleasure. It also describes it as emotional attachment and affection for a person. But i don't think that is all it is. Love can't be just affection for someone or a slight feeling of pleasure. It is something that every art piece in this world is based on so surely, love can't be something this simple. Emotional dependency and attachment is a nice way of putting it but still I feel they haven't captured the gist of it.  We hear stories about love, fairy tales, movies, listen to love songs and yet its quite astonishing that none of us seems to really know what it actually means.  I think I might have figured it out. Love is caring for someone so much so that when they feel the slightest discomfort or a hint of sadness In their life, we start feeling guilty for being happy. If someone you loved was sad or melancholic for whatever reas

Life is simple. It really is. Living is not as complicated as people might think it is. Everthing is binary. You're either happy or sad, polite or rude, kind or cruel, bad or good. It's always one or the other. The combinations of these extremities makes life what it is. Life is a combination of infinite number of variables like these alternating between the extremities. In these infinite variables we look for happiness. Happiness, I think, is overrated. Voltaire once said, "The most important decision you will ever make is to be in a good mood". This is the key to happiness. One could go about their entire life in the pursuit of happiness and never find the trace of it. On the other hand just pretend to be happy and you'll eventually be happy. One of the ways to make yourself happy is by trying and living life in the simplest way possible. Complexity always tends to make things complex. Putting a complex number in a polynomial equation always results in an equa

Hello Readers, Has anyone ever had that moment, where you buy something new and for obvious reasons you don't look at the manual. Then, you start putting it together/ setting it up and all of a sudden you're stuck and you don't know what to do? Then, you're left with a choice, either lose your self respect and take the manual out of and read it, or just struggle with it and hope for the best. That is what i think about life sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't easily do this, but i think I would have definitely picked up the manual by now. That is what I think is the most wrong with this life. I mean we do have it but we don't know what to do with it. "Life is like the horizontal stripes on the aux cable, one doesn't know what it does, but one sure is glad that it makes the sweet-sweet music play." I wish, i knew what to do with my life. I do intend to find out someday. Life is not easy, but worrying about the little things is what makes us pick up

Greetings! Readers. Oh! That guy is talking to himself on the subway. Steer clear of him, he obviously looks insane and he probably is....Or is he? Everyone has heard the clichéd conversations about how we don't have time anymore. We all know, its true we don't, but nobody does anything to rectify that. I mean sure, after a hectic day at work, we've got families to take care of, homework to complete, assignments to write. But even when we're not doing anything, we find something to do... for instance facebook, Instagram or youtube etcetera. As I do, when I'm free I use Instagram, or youtube or find movies to watch; and sometimes when I can't fall asleep I watch Top Gear(The Clarkson/Hammond/May one) not because its a boring show or anything but because I have watched all the episodes a great many number of times and hence they provide a sense of familiarity and comfort and I drift off to sleep. The alternate option is that I just lie down and start think

"Either Do something worth writing or Write something worth Reading", they say. Hello Readers! I was just thinking about how people write, and it just came to my knowledge that about half the students of my class write, you know poems and songs and such. Its just the expression of creativity and talent. Then I started thinking about as to what makes what they write, good enough for us to want to read it? I stumbled on the answer, while watching the play written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamr. A beautiful play to be honest, i loved it, you must check it out, the name is "Sadqay Tumhare". There's a simple answer to the aforementioned question, "You can immediately recognize a good piece of art if it messes with your head." If something you read, messes with you normal mental stability, I mean, if something grabs on and doesn't let go for about at least a week, and then you are tempted to read it again, and when you do it, it climbs on again that is

"Its a shield, if you like, a sword if you want it to be and emptiness if you don't recognize it." Hello Readers. DETERMINATION Its such an overrated, overused word and often misinterpreted as "hippy talk". The word "Determination" is what every English speaking person knows the meaning of and yet doesn't actually know the application of it. I know that in some or any sort of minimalist crisis, its the last thing i think of; But what we all fail to understand, is that determination is one of the greatest human emotions ever. Its not an emotion as such, but the inner drive and motivation all these words essentially describe determination. It was determination that helped Adolf Hitler commit the greatest genocide in the history of the world. It was Determination that helped Oskar Schindler save hundreds of lives. It was determination that the Manhattan Project resulted in a weapon destructive enough to destroy the entire planet in one go.It was
