To a new year!

-

As a whole month of this new year is finally coming to an end, we can revisit  our resolutions and thoughts and plans we formed for this year.

Did you follow it? Were you able to keep with your expectations? I hope so, because I'm about to propose something that might hurt your feelings.😁

The "new year resolution", is a peculiarly interesting idea which has a nice history. But it is of my opinion that this new year resolution thing is something only humans do but not animals. Yeah , sure animals have no concept of  "self-improvement', or even a self for that matter, but they really don't think the way we do. It's an interesting idea to think if your cat makes a new year's resolution such as "I'm going to be more responsive to my owner this year " xD


But all in all though it might a good thing for mental health of an individual, but as a social etiquette, it is pretty weak. I’m sure that many people around the world think the same way. But is it really that evil?  Maybe not. But I sure as hell don’t like them. 

"Why" you might ask? People don’t make the grandest of resolutions or the most meaningful things….but they do very small inconsequential goals. ‘Lose weight’ or ‘Drink Less alcohol’ or something like that.

Sure this may help in the person in reaching his personal goals, but wouldn’t it be something better……..if the person could think in much higher abstract terms?

But whatever…. I don’t mean to explain what ‘higher abstract terms’ are, because that is a subjective association and should be found out by oneself...as quoted by Nietzsche.  Maybe a deep psychological self analysis will lead you to that. In that sense, we have to do more hard working thinking and rediscovering our inner self while forming the resolutions than while actually executing them. It might sound like overthinking, but it will surely give some good perspective on life.


I had a lot of fun and insight reading into resolutions of many people on this thread. Hope it was a good read.

I know this wasn’t much of a post and didn’t give out any solid ideas to be food for thought. This was just an amalgamation of some things that I wanted to put out. This was just to give a newer perspective on the age old topic of  'New Year Resolutions'. 

But I hope y'all have a good year!

The weird thing of being alive

Sorry! Long time no see! I am back with another mindless, unrefined and  unstructured thoughts on mine.  This post is going to be more about an 'off the shore' rant about how humans perceive life and how the actuality of life exists in its true sense.  Sounds boring? Cause it probably is....but if you haven't clicked away yet....what you can really takeaway from this post is a sense of realness and a 'not so unique' perspective on the nature of human existence. The way that humans pass through existence is pretty unique. We use the output of multiple senses and process these images for better understanding of the world. Sometimes the things we think are conscious, or may be unconscious. We cannot differentiate between inputs that can make sense and things that don't make sense in itself. Take dreams for example, we don't realize that we are in a dream until there is something amiss or wrong with the entire logic of events. In that sense, we can't differe...

An End to the Playful Blog

 Hey y'all ! I guess it has been a long time, ( at least for me) before I wrote a post again. So, its that time, where I would have to say adieu to my cool readers! Though I write shit content, you guys read it, even though you could have spent your time doing something more useful ( but thanks anyways ppl!). I didn't want to go incommunicado without saying a big goodbye! I won't be writing any more posts as of  now. There have been some crazy ass changes in my life. But this entire "blog-about-random-stuff" period of life, was interesting...I learnt a lot ! I know there are a lot of topics I could talk about, a lot of unfinished topics and ideas. But I'm putting an end to any of that. It's a little sad, but maybe in the future, I'll start writing again! One thing, was....this shit was awesome! Openly screaming to the world and not caring a bit about what it meant! It  was awesome to express myself. These series of posts serve as a reminder about the t...

 Hey random reader. You have decided to enter an online cave of stupidity, naivetes and maybe.....just maybe some interesting stuff. Please don't expect me to follow "language of etiquette" here, because I am one of those guys who doesn't care about how something looks, as long it conveys the idea. I am what you could call a internet buff. I live on the internet. It is a dangerous, yet beautiful place. I prefer to compare the internet to the peak of a mountain.... it is beautiful up there . Yet a small misstep could plummet you to death.  All of the information I write and I will write are mostly influenced by various personalities on the internet. What you can expect in this blogsite is my various takes on how the world works. The small things that people miss out. I will take you through a mind of a early 20s procrastinator. My aim in writing these blog posts are to reach out to people who have similar ideas that I have , and also to influence people who don't h...
