Memories



I don’t think god’s greatest gift to us is the air we breathe or the planet we live in. It’s memories. 

Yes, isn’t it wonderful that we can go back to our life’s most wonderful events without actually being there? Isn't it wonderful that even after a person has left our lives, we’re able to live happily just by thinking about the memories we had with them? Isn’t it wonderful that we can totally lighten up our mood just by thinking about one of the funny moments from our childhood? 

We understand ourselves based on the nostalgic view we have of ourselves. Time goes by pretty fast, and one day you turn back and realize that you are less the person you once knew.

We run through nostalgic archives of our childhood and we say, “My god, I was so happy back then”. We grow up and we even forget what it was like, to be free and happy at the same time. 

Doesn’t the word ‘nostalgia’ itself bring happiness to our lives? We live by memories every day, whether good or bad. And the fact that some memories stick with us and some fades away makes it more majestical. 

After all, we aren’t allowed to take our money or possessions to our graveyard.
Memories... just pure, old memories. Sayonara

Dystopian times (unabridged)

I read '1984' by George Orwell a few years back. I could only read up to 70% of it for some reason. In the first chapter, the protagonist secretly writes a journal entry as a sort of protest, or a way of telling his story to future generations. Thankfully, we're not there yet, but I imagine sooner or later, we as a collective world will reach that level of dystopia. I can't help but wonder, 'Has the world always been like this, or I'm just noticing it? ' Maybe yes, but the amount of injustice and horror that has been happening around the world has definitely only increased with time. There is so much injustice, violence, and horror happening around the globe, and the fact that I was born in this godforsaken country. It's awful enough to be a citizen of this country, but being a Muslim in India is only worse. The only thing I can do is be grateful for the fact that I was born in the South.  And all of this leads to one being in a certain dilemma. Do I try...

Who will win the Ballon D'Or 2018?

There are a lot of quality players out on the field with potential of acquiring the so called best player award in the world easily known as the “THE BALLON D’OR”. Since the year 2008 this mesmerising price has been shared among two, who are known to the world as  CRISTIANO RONALDO  and  LIONEL MESSI.  Both of them are so far presented with 5 of the awards equally throughout these years. To be honest no one else other than these two has not even came close into winning the award after 2008. But this year a number of different things have happened. Lots of underdogs have proved their worth and are told to be possible winners of this Glamorous award. As the World Cup is upon us on July, it will play a major role on declaring the Ballon D’Or winner this year. With the help of various experts and from the form they are in, we have reduced a 23 possible nominees list: (not in chromatic order)           1.  Li...

All the bright places

Theodore Finch  is fascinated by death. Every day he thinks of ways he might die, but everyday he also searches for -and manages to find -something to keep him here and alive and awake. Violet Markey  lives for the future, counting the days until graduation when she can escape her small Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister's death. All the bright places is a 2015 young adult novel by Jennifer Niven. Unlike what the cover conveys, it is not a mediocre teenage love story.  All the bright places is a story about two damaged kids doing a school project, a story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who wants to die. Finch and violet meets at the top of the bell tower at school, both considering to jump off. But somehow they both save each other from doing so.   Later finch persuades violet to be his partner for their U.S geography-“wander Indiana project”. They explore every bit of Indiana before graduation. Th...
