Embracing New Beginnings: A Fresh Chapter for the New Year

As the clock strikes midnight and the calendar turns its page, we find ourselves standing at the threshold of a new year, a canvas yet untouched by the brushstrokes of time. The air is charged with a sense of renewal, and the promise of new beginnings whispers to us like a gentle breeze. In the tapestry of life, each year is a thread, weaving its unique pattern into the fabric of our existence. The dawn of a new year is an invitation to reflect on the tapestry we've woven so far – the vibrant hues of joy, the muted tones of challenges, and the intricate patterns of growth. It's a time to bid farewell to the chapters that have run their course, graciously thanking them for the lessons they brought. As we turn the page, we are presented with a blank canvas, an opportunity to script a new narrative, to paint our aspirations with bold strokes of determination and resilience. New beginnings are not just a chance to set resolutions; they are an affirmation of the human spirit's c...

So what does progress mean ?

Recently in some random youtube video, in which they were discussing about what a 'progress' or being progressive means. All the members involved their own opinions. Unsatisfied with their thoughts, I asked myself the same question and finally got the answer ; according to me, progress is how much I've reformed (which includes unlearning and relearning) my thoughts, ideals and views of yesterday, for a better logical reasoning. In short, I must be able to think a step better/ above tomorrow, than what I think and behave today. Everyday, I should think better of my own thoughts. This is a question I've been hearing since so long, "Aren't you a 'progressive' person ? No wonder you say or think this way !" Wait.. what ?! I don't know who's gonna enlighten them with the fact that 'being progressive' is extremely essential and not a crime ! Living in the 21st century, with advanced technology and possibilities, it takes time for humans ...

The science of fake smile

A smile is often considered the universal language of happiness, but what about those smiles that don't quite reach the eyes? The realm of fake smiles is a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of human interaction. In this blog, we delve into the intricacies of fake smiles, exploring their psychology, impact, and the art of deciphering genuine joy from a mere facade. A smile is a powerful expression, capable of conveying a myriad of emotions. However, not all smiles are genuine. Fake smiles often stem from social expectations, politeness, or the desire to mask one's true feelings. Psychologically, these smiles may serve as a defense mechanism, shielding individuals from unwanted scrutiny or discomfort. While fake smiles might seem harmless on the surface, they can have profound effects on both the person wearing the smile and those who perceive it. Genuine smiles release endorphins, the feel-good hormones, contributing to a positive atmosphere. In contrast, fake smiles can c...

I miss myself

Don't we all miss our old selves? Don't you look back at the past at least once?  Little do I remember the old me, who walked holding my parents' hands. I still miss sitting on their laps and eat the food being fed by my mother, while watching T.V.  Having no friends, I remember that girl, who used to play alone with her very few toys, yet being so happy and contented.  I miss the old little school girl in me, who actually was so lazy to go to school everyday. She used to go in an auto rickshaw and it was her mother who used to tie her hair, every morning. She always carried idly to school as her lunch, which she hated so much then. I miss that school kid who used to walk around not knowing or being stressed of anything.   Every Saturday at 3pm, she attended her dance classes and I miss being scared of my teacher every time ! I extremely miss her being 'teachers' favourite' at school. I often miss the tears of that fifteen-year-old girl who felt the pain of brea...
