Roses

Our fast and busy life has far too often led society to remind us to “stop and smell the roses” and many of us who don’t find the time try to take it in, in little doses. Yes, it’s important to stop and smell the roses every now and then but what use is it if the rose is wilting away and losing its essence? Focusing on the not so fulfilling here and now, has made us all look at the world without magic and wonder. 


I’m a guy who almost always talks about ideas and possibilities and how amazing life is. I’m intense that way, trying to understand how Jeff Bezos has built an empire that has its foot in almost every industry you can think of or what the future of the voyagers is gonna be, out there beyond mankind’s farthest reach, what stories will it tell if found by aliens? What legend will our legacy be a part of? The way the world will change with AI. These are my roses. 


Although it’s not as funny as cracking a joke about your balding friend or you doing something cringe-worthy. I  wonder if we should instead, try and water the plant and think of how big the garden of roses can be because with a whole field of roses you’ll never have to stop to smell them.

Social Media Is A World Of Its Own

Social Media changed the world forever and its not for the better. There are millions perhaps billions of posts and articles out there that tell you to enjoy the little things and there’s some more of them telling you to pursue something you love so that every day will be like a vacation.

When we were kids if someone treated us like a jerk, we cut them off, we didn’t meet them outside of school, we didn’t talk to them in school, that was the last interaction we had with them. If we had a serious friend who we fought with, we waited till the next morning when we were face to face with them to sort it out, we mostly had the same circles to ...

Options or Chances

Academic underachievers and unemployed people are just two of many other kinds of people who are often treated as outcasts. From kids to elders, everyone fails at many things in life and more often than not they’re ill-treated and mostly by the part of the society that’s supposed to be above such behaviour. First rank students look down on students who fail or barely pass, rich snobs look down on people, the ones who make their lives easier by working hard and doing physical labour with disgust, employed people look down on the unemployed as failures.  Source: Pexels.com/alexasfotos The fact that kids who fail to graduate and people who fail to get employment and people who fail to rise up to have a secure life where they don’t have to work 2-3 shifts a day even when they’re 50-60 are called failures doesn’t make sense and further calling them lazy and dumb should be a crime.  Many people talk about how babies don’t stop when they fall, they fall thousands of times before they...
