Writing! How easy it all seems.

"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 when you know something you read is exceptionally well written. I to be honest, don't think have been blessed with enough talent or wit to come up with or write such a thing. In fact the day that I do, I'd be most pleased with myself.
Its one of the reasons I like Snape, (for those of you who haven't read or even watched Harry Potter, sorry that you had to spend your childhood in a cave) Its not because he is perfect or nice. I mean I completely agree that he is evil and malevolent but the fact that he is imperfect and that he loved someone and never hoped to love again, that "Always" is what grabbed on to my mind. That is the little thing that never let my mind go and hence mad me appreciate the well written character.
I've read poems that have stayed with me, like "Ranjhish hi sahi" by Ahmad Faraz, the song "Jeena isi ka naam hai" by Shailendra Singh and "Har ek baat pe kehte ho tum", "Dil hi to hai" by Mirza Ghalib. These little poems, they have been stuck in my brain and have stayed with me from the moment that I read them.
Frankly, (I'm about to make a bold statement) the people who don't like the dramas, fiction, stories or poems that do not have a conventional ending to them and those that wreck your world up and cause chaos all around you, are the people that don't know how to appreciate art.
I mean, sure the lovers could meet and the hero could live on and the tyrant could be stopped but in some exceptional stories it isn't what happens. It is fun to imagine what it'd be like if that did happen but the fact that it didn't teaches us a million things more.

Death Dessert theory.

Hello... Readers( which apparently are not many). I have come up with a new theory. I havent thought of a name yet. Maybe i will just tell you the name at the end after explaining to you what it is. On second thought i have named it... "Death Dessert". Cool huh? Explanation. Well, most things that are rare, are expensive. And most things that are expensive are most valuable to us. So rare things are valuable. And most people save the sweetest bite for the end. In other words, most people like their dessert at the end of the meal. Taking these two points under consideration, think about death. Death is rare. It only occurs once in everyone's life. And it comes at the end. After everything. It is the sweetest bite. The dessert of life. Maybe death isnt a bad thing afterall. Maybe death is a bite of sweet dessert after all the sour battering given to you by your whole life. Maybe death is the eternal goal. Who knows? Maybe the dead people cant come back or maybe they d

Determination.

"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

A study in sadness

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
