A smile my own way.

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 thinking and hopefully fall asleep after I am lost in the train of thought.
While, we are in that train of thought we're talking to ourselves. And that is a factor we all are missing in our lives.
Talking to oneself is an important factor in one's life. We all do that throughout the day about little things as brushing teeth, dressing up, listening to lectures, but we never just talk to our self for the fun of it. I have watched hundreds of movies where the couple breaks up because they drifted apart due to lack of communication. They didn't talk to each other enough and they got divorced. And We live with ourselves and we never care to have a date night with ourselves. We take our self for granted. Even when we do talk, we do it with so little respect as if we were slaves in our own body. We need to give time to ourselves, listen to our own problems. We can be our own best friend. One must try talking to oneself without losing the people he/she is related to because family is all you'll ever have or need. But just a smile thrown your own way would not go in vain. I think its one of the most underrated things in the world.
I think if we just sat and talked to ourselves with respect for about 15 minutes a day, our lives could be better. I try to write poems and all and whatever rubbish I do write I write at night. Before falling asleep because that is the only time that I talk to myself without interruption, without the worry of tomorrow, or the disappointment of yesterday. Its just me, me and the night. I close my eyes and think about the noise the fan makes and I let that thought take me someplace else, someplace I've not seen before, someplace about which I've heard stories about, someplace my own. 
I believe there is beauty in staring at walls, if one cares to find it.

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 ...

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...

Attention

Hello readers! I'm sure you already know that this society is focused a bit too much on attention. But i don't think you know the extent to which it is focused on attention. I mean the signs are everywhere, if a person volunteers or does some sort of charity work, and he runs around in the streets shouting about the charity work he does, he seeks attention, i mean not only the good things, but if a person murders another person and runs around the streets shouting that she's just killed someone, it would sound like they seek attention. In some of the cases, people end their own lives just because they seek attention. One could argue that, what if a person does the charity work and doesn't tell anyone about it, arguably, it should be the ideal case and represent the good side of our race saying we don't need attention to survive, but everyone secretly wishes people knew about their work and most of the time, they don't tell anyone, because they know that the p...
