Ah the simpler joys of sitting without a worry in the world, not caring about having an exam next day; and putting of studying for later. Because there's always later except at last when there isn't! Procrastination is something of a hobby to me. People say it teaches you time management, in reality thats just first grade, fine Bs! Truth is procrastination is just borrowing tomorrow's joy today, but the problem is that you have to pay it back with interest, so you lose more  joy then you gain. That is if you do amortized analysis :D. Just like coffee btw, but coffee deserves its post if not a dedicated blog xD and procrastination is even bitter sweet just like a good cup of coffee. But have too much and you have to pay for it. Try to avoid procrastinating, but then I'm being a hypocrite, seeing as I'm procrastinating while writing this post, but then again life's short, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Here's to hoping I get better at time managem...

Everything in life needs moderation. My wise friend made me realise that being bold irrespective of everything isn't always a wise thing to do. You can't simply turn a blind eye to the nuances of the situation. Reacting according to the particular situation is what sets us apart from machines which can't understand the minor these minor differences. In short being pragmatism wins :D. Be Bold but not stupid.

Choice : Not cause a scene and "adjust"  or risk coming off as an "arrogant" person Many people would choose the later because we all don't want trouble or to be perceived as rowdy by the society, but maybe sometimes we have to standup for our own rights and not wait for others to standup for us. "Adjusting" and going with the flow is easy in short-term but in long-term it affects the society because sometimes it needs people, people like you to standup to the offenders and tell them to their face that what they're doing is wrong. So maybe next time you face such a situation maybe standup against the offenders for once? Be it that arrogant person smoking in public oblivious to harm he is causing others, or asking that person blocking free left to move, advising your parents/friends to wear helmet/seatbelt. Be polite, but be firm and try to change the society for better. Take part in the reformation of our society be bold.

Pragmatism is way underrated. Definition below xD. Anyway life isn't always about taking a rigid stance, sometimes it's taking the course of action which is beat for the particular solution. Being steadfast can bring a whole lot of trouble and make you miss out on a ton of opportunities. So next time when you are contemplating on whether you should take that path or activity, why not give it a try. And maybe in the end we can reduce our guilt of not trying out the path Robert Frost in the road not taken.  And the post started at pragmatism and it went somewhere, maybe cause I wanted to take road not taken? Well I have taken it now. So sorry that I'm not sorry. Will attach the meaning below, word of the day  😝 BTW it's copy pasted :3 prag·ma·tism \ ˈ prag-mə-ˌti-zəm\ noun :  a reasonable and logical way of doing things or of thinking about problems that is based on dealing with spec...

So I missed a few posts and have lost the one post per day streak, but better now than never I guess. Here goes another. What's life anyway ? A string of moments? Then won't it make sense to live the moment rather than documenting it all the time just so that you can relive that moment later. But if you didn't soak in the original moment in the first place what sense does all the moments captured in a picture even make? This is like a semi-rant of people  taking too many photos and not enjoying the moment, without soaking the beauty in. I'm done. Cya, until next time.

Ah the lengths I have to go to to write a post everyday. Like I said in a previous post, having free time is seriously underrated. Wish I could stop my brain from screaming for sleep and have some time to write a decent blog post, but since that ain't happening here's another rushed and crudely put  together post. You know how you wish that one thing which is old and crappy, and you can't wait to chuck it away, but there's that feeling in back of your mind knowing that you're gonna miss it, because it gave you so much memories. You kinda feel bad about even thinking of getting ridding of it. So what's the correct action of course? You tell me. PS: for those who know me irl, I'm of course referring to the alto, crappy yet awesome, so many memories comes flooding when I think of it.

Oh how we take free time for granted. Only when there's a lack of thing do we realise it's true importance. Maybe we ought to put more effort to realizing the true value of a thing and try and give due importance to it and be grateful for it. Give the thing more appreciation. Thing we normally take for granted(imo) : Sleep Free time Gazing at the starry sky Company of our friends Conversations The perfect cup of coffee And of course, a good internet connection. Let's meet if I survive another day.

Short post Life is doing things even if we don't want to do something. You just have to accept that. You can't change certain things in life and react to those changes we'll and make the best of it. Today being an even more hectic day, that'll be all. Cya if I live to see yet another day.

Another hectic day with almost no time to compose a proper post 😐. Anyway here goes nothing. Patience and forgiveness are two were underrated virtues. It makes the world a better place and man a human and kind person. Forgiveness and kindness go hand in hand, you don't have to go and make huge acts of charity everyday. It could start with simple things like, letting that person cut in front of you because he is stuck behind another vehicle, maybe he actually has a very important reason for being in a hurry. You may think that I'm not an idiot to let everyone get in my way and that although completely understandable doesn't help to make this world a little bit better, instead letting other person go wouldn't hamper your journey a lot while it will most likely put a smile on the other person's face  and may even make his day. Try doing random acts of generosity and smile. Make the world a better place once person at a time.

This is going to be a really short one since this is like a namesake post :P just to achieve one post per day status :D. We all take new year resolutions just to fail few days or weeks(if you're lucky) into the new year. Anyway the key I guess is to account for future lapses and have a range of values between which you can accommodate your resolution. A key to achieving or prolonging your effort would be to not give up the first time and as a full-time procrastinator I can fully relate to putting things off for tomorrow; but that's the fatal flaw we all make, because that one lapse opens the crack wide open and boom we fall through the broken resolution and shatter it into pieces. All the best with your resolutions Y'all! Hopefully, it will be still intact when we meet again. :) PS-  I see that my content is getting cruder and less put together by the day but, trust me it's getting more and more hectic and this is all I can do(with the help of Grammarly, of cours...

It may be comforting to think or say that a certain thing will happen if it is meant to be, we give up the control of the situation to the "universe" or God or whatever you believe in, but little so we realise that luck favors those who work hard. Keep working hard and it will eventually you will succeed at it. So organise a coup d'état and seize back the control from others and guide your life to the destination you want it go. Sure you may get lost, but nobody can say they have truly travelled until they have got lost along the way. Start that epic journey of a lifetime, and have no regrets, because in the end well, you can say that you tried and that's what matters. Get the captain hat on and guide the ship towards the horizon of your dreams.

Life is all about priorities and which we give the highest amount of value to. Priorities keep changing, but sometimes we misplace our priorities and that's when troubles happen. Sometimes thrill of overspeeding and reckless driving supersedes all other things and takes all the priority, but in hindsight we realise that after that spur of the moment that maybe, it wasn't worth that risk after all.    The key takeaway I want you to have from this very crudely put together post is please wear that helmet and fasten your seat belts and don't let the throttle control you, let your rational thinking control it, be safe and keep others safe. Your life is more valuable than the thing you're rushing to.

Science advancing ever so fast especially after the invention of transistors is bound to raise a few ethical and sometimes funny questions. I would like to ponder over one in this post. So there has been this huge start up in Israel which makes "lab made meat", so now the question is all those people who are vegetarians because they don't want to kill any animal; would they 'turn' non-vegetarian or would they stick to vegetarian diets. Would this kind of meat even be considered non-vegetarian? Would certain "secular" parties still have a problem with such 'meats'? We have a lot of questions and I can't wait to see them answered by time. As Jeffrey Archer's book title says 'Only time will tell'. EOT

Sometimes in life we spend so much time mulling over the perfect choice that we miss the opportunity. Truth is there isn't always a perfect choice, every choice gives you a different experience, some better than others. But sometimes you just got to leg it and take a risk, because often in life memories are made when you don't plan every choice meticulously.            One of the beauties of life is the uncertainty. Is the cat dead or alive? Isn't that the question we encounter everyday. We can just react to the changes, so go out there take a risk and step out of your comfort zone, because life is short and you deserve a great perhaps.
