It’s Monday morning and my brain in swimming in ideas and revelations. Try keeping up. I just read my sister’s blog, her banner has an uplifting idea about how ideas and words can change the world. I firmly believe in it, that we are walking meat bags suspended in liquid that generate ideas all day, … More Systems
Today, I met this wonderful woman. She’s what you’d call, a complete stranger: I’ve never seen her irl and she could have easily lied to me about everything I know about her. Still, cooped up at home all alone in a small town, rather friendless, I decided to meet her. We went out to grab … More The joys of company
So I’m bad at dealing with anxiety. So much so that I’ve come full circle in vaguely knowing what I wanted to not knowing which way is up and the tiniest triggers can set me off. In my quest to overcome anxiety thus far, few things that have helped me are: Watching Kevin drop the … More Dealing with anxiety
Here I am, 6 hours away from home. I’m on a flight back to India, yeah… the new Covid superstar apparently. Why, you may ask. Well, I could probably write another blog post about that, but I’ll just say this. I’m going back home temporarily for some therapy and family time. Apparently, I have PTSD … More Grateful for Covid
I think I have cracked the code. My blog ideas stem from no sleep and high stimulation before bedtime. A.k.a. BAD SLEEPING HABITS. It’s 5:30 in the morning and I spent 3 hours lying wide awake thinking of all the ways to structure this post and what not to add. I think I should change … More Social Media Pt. 2
It’s 1.40 in the night, sleep eludes me. Probably because I spent the last 3 hours watching the antics of Michael Scott in a dark room and now my brain is like an omelette. Now I’m watching a singular lit bedroom in the apartment opposite mine and all these vague, half-formed thoughts are pummelling my … More Bisexual
So I’ve moved to the States for my Master’s degree and it’s been… half a year now DAYUM. I come from a fairly conservative culture and it’s safe to say that even though my country is orthodox and traditional in a lot of ways, being subtle and having a sense of personal space is a … More Subtleties
The end of last year and the beginning of 2020 have been gruelling. I’ve been diagnosed with psychotic depression which has made the first two weeks of the year pass in a chaotic, delusional haze and it’s been tough on me and my family. I’ve started grad school 6 months ago and the stress has … More Shit could be worse
Before you roll your eyes and judge me for the title, let me tell you what this post is not going to be: I won’t ostracize regular social media users. I won’t be priggish. I will definitely not try to plant seeds in your head and won’t take a black or white stance regarding social … More Social media – thanks, I’ll pass
I have never read a book that deserved its own post. I have this great urge to spill my thoughts on it. SPOILERS AHEAD At first I felt oddly frustrated by his callous living-in-the-present Buddhist nature. Meursault merely observes things as they happen, making no judgement, feeling no emotion. His thoughts don’t transport him to … More The Stranger by Albert Camus
