Have Smartphones Taken Us Over ?

  I hear many people talking about those good old days , with Nokia phones. I, being a 2k kid, have never seen one. Our life was so much much easier , when apple and blackberry were just fruits . Ever since this phone became smart, our social life has been ruined by social media. And this pandemic has made it worse. Why was phone invented ? To talk. That's it. Now we do everything except talking on that phone.I personally regard Facebook as the start of cataclysm . Then came Instagram, Snapchat, etc.etc.etc. People are going to any extent to get likes and followers ( Zachary, the tick tok murder). Honestly, what's the big deal ? Why do I care if you go to your ' prestigious college' or even London or New York for that matter ? It'll only make people jealous. With all the negativity around us, do we really need jealousy with it too ? Now, I am not saying that smartphones have not benifitted us. From fast transmitation of information to awareness of many issues relate...

Is Violence Inevitable ?

 You are the leader of you kingdom. The enemy's troops are just outside the walls of your of your land , ever ready to attack. You look at your army ; you're hopeless. The enemy's soldiers outnumber yours by four times. What do you do now ? You turn to your citizens. Try to persuade them to join the fray and protect your kingdom; their homeland. But they seem unmoved by your patriotic and emotional speech. You hear them saying, "Why war ? Isn't there enough negativity and violence in the world ? We must frankly make peace with them". Now what do you do ? Let's say you somehow gathered the required number of soldiers and battle with the enemy. Either you win, but a lot of valueable human lives and resources might be lost and leave you worse off than before. Or you lose. The enemy subjects your citizens to all kinds of totures and exploits them and all your          resources. People now start making associations and protest, either by himsa or ahimsa . If ...

The Journey To The School

    The Great Indian Education System- sounds good , doesn’t it ? But here in India , the sound does not matter, first you must be one of the 74.04% of our population. Wondering why ? That’s ‘cause the rest of the population is illiterate. If you are able to read this, then you must be one of the fortunate ones. So first and foremost, access to education must be made available to all. And there are different levels to this. First, a school must be accessible to you, and your family’s mindset must be modern enough to send you to one. But considering the fact that most Indian people consider education as a boon and as a path to success in life, this must not be difficult. The second aspect , is that even if you reach the school somehow, there must be teachers to teach in them. Believe it or not , there are tons of schools where you find only one teacher, or worse, none at all. This is an extremely grave situation, and can happen for a variety of undefined reasons. Even if ...

Lockdown Life

 If I'd called you on 1 January 2020 at mid-night and told you that a teeny-tiny microscopic virus  which we can't even see is going to turn this world upside down , and that you're soon going to be stuck at home for a long- long time, would you have believed me ? No matter what your answer might be, things have turned out exactly as I would have told you. Life in lockdown was not easy for anyone . The world was so lively, yet listless. Lively, because social media had become so important with people actively online all the time , considering it was the only way to know what was going on in the outside world. Listless, because we were stuck at home, drowning in a pool of uncertainty and bored to death like animals in a zoo.  We dreamed of returning to our daily life ; a routine that we so despised. Maybe it takes such depths of ambiguousness to create such heights of longing for our so called " Boring Routine". Yes, this pandemic has made us realize that we were a...

Hilarious Spotify Ads

 Hilarious Spotify Ads Are you a free Spotify user? I bet all my money that your brain is more preoccupied with the interesting ads rather than the actual music😂. Seriously, Spotify should really stop making such entertaining ads, or else there'll be more users who don't switch to premium for the sole reason of listening to these ads. And one thing that fascinates me is that the sound quality of the advertisements are a lot better than the actual songs ! The storylines are THE best and the funny thing is that they make ads, which make fun of their own previous ads. It's like writing a post, by roasting my previous post😝.But jokes apart, I really think these ads are great and reach to a very large audience. So what do you think about these charmingly amazing advertisements ? Feel free to leave a comment 'cause I'd love to know what you guys think !
