My Dumb Diaary

We are social animals, which means we like to associate with people. From the birth till our death we are influenced by and, most of the times unintentionally, influence others. This contact between 2 people, however brief it may be, where they acknowledge the existence of each other creates a relationship between them. The moment you are born you have your first relationship, with your mother, considered to be the most sacred of all relationships in one's lifetime. You are dependent on her for your survival while she is bound to you by the love of offspring. With this you start to grow up gradually and create many more relationships with other people around you. We can categorize all the relationships formed during one's lifetime into 4:   Family Relationships Friendships Romantic Relationships, and Acquaintanceships   Each relationship has its own dynamic however what all of them have in common is a need of interaction between 2 people.

Now, I don't wanna brag about myself, so I will say this beforehand, that this is about me but in a good way and not as arrogance and attitude. Yesterday I met a girl at my workplace. She is a new in-training colleague. Now this is not about what comes to your mind immediately. This girl is being mentioned because she wants to start up a blog. And I somehow got to know it while having a casual conversation. So we immediately got to talking about this crazy thing, and in a crazy way. I must say here that I love blogging, Though, I do not get much time to blog, you know being busy and all. the usual excuse. But I do love it. And whenever I can, I Blog. Now this girl wants to start up a blog and cannot decide what topic to start with, how to go about it, and rest of the things we all would have thought of when we planned on starting up a blog. I understood her situation because around 4 years ago I was in a similar situation, and there was nobody to help me out. Finding ...

I had a vision some years ago when I was still a teenager. I wanted to witness a day when the whole world would be one. There would be no countries, no boundaries, no import/export taxes, no visas. Everybody will be part of the same Earth. But I guess I was not looking at the reality in that time. I still have a ray of hope that the day I once dreamed of witnessing may really come. But then again, I might be crazy. I may sound childish to you people. But dreams are one thing we can never let go.

This has been a debate amongst Indians since ever. People would say things like, 'She was wearing short clothes', 'she wasn't aware of surroundings', 'she went out late at night', etc. But is this really a reason, or is it just a way to say, 'We men have done nothing wrong.' It is high time we understand that it is the insatiability of males that is causing the rise in rape cases.

25th April, 2015 Nepal was hit by an Earthquake of Magnitude 7.8. The shockwaves were felt upto Delhi. I was sitting in my room in front of my laptop when suddenly I felt everything shaking. Though nothing happened in Delhi but I am sure people panicked. Everybody ran out of their houses as soon as possible. I heard women shouting to get everyone out, children were crying because they were scared. Even I was scared a bit. The shaking happened for 5 whole mins. Location Of Epicenter That feeling I cannot shake off. After a little while another tremor was felt, a little lower on Richter Scale. But scary all the same. Again I did not run out of my apartment. When everything settled down I switched on the news and found out that it was in Nepal where the Earthquake's Epicentre was located. Somewhere around 50 miles northwest of Kathmandu. Soon the pictures of destruction caused started appearing on the television. I soon switched off the news to lighten the mood, but it w...

Yes, I am feeling nostalgic. Its been over 6 months since I have left home. Out here by myself, I miss Mom's cooking and I miss Dad's nagging in everything I did. I miss my Bro too. His usual fights and arguments. I miss the rain and I miss the cool sunny weather. I guess I miss a lot of things. But why is it that I still don't want to go home? I still feel that I am much better alone. Is it bad that I want to be away from my family? I don't know. But there's one thing for sure. It ain't time yet to return. Hold on and perserve. Just that I want to say this to all the ones I love. I miss u All.

"Spirituality  is the  praxis  and process of personal  transformation , either in accordance with traditional religious ideals, or, increasingly, oriented on subjective experience and psychological growth independently of any specific religious context. In a more general sense, it may refer to almost any kind of  meaningful  activity or blissful experience. There is no single, widely-agreed definition for the concept, and the term may be applied to a wide variety of practices. "

This is a time of great change in India. Orthodox thinking is being overlapped by the youthful competition in this age. People are accepting changes within others and are understanding a better sense of justice within one's conscience. But society changes very slowly. Even now we are afraid to truly open our heart to the world. So in this time of Great Cultural change, there are a few things that we have to keep in mind if want our relationships to survive longer. It is human nature that we want to more about people around us. But in this situation it becomes critical that we hold off on our curiosity. So here are few things that we shouldn't ask our relatives if we treasure them even a little bit.

Why do we falter? Why does our heart sometimes feel like losing hope? This is something all of us must have thought at least once in our lifetime. We always intend to do something in a way we planned. And we hope that the plan would be successful. We cling to a positive feeling called 'Hope'.  This gives us strength to move forward. We always proceed with a thought that the drama of life, for once, will go as we planned. We do things with the thought of future success. But is it ever the way we think, no, we hope it would be? Some of us have a strong heart. They do not falter. They do not lose hope. They do not have the fear of failure. And so they move with strong conviction. But most of us are afraid to lose hope. We hesitate while making decisions. We have doubts in our minds. Our hearts are weak and we cannot be convicted to one plan and one path. Thus we fail time and again. People with strong heart have attachments to something or someone. These attachm...
