8 DAYS TO GET A KICK START

Image
My last post was on 21st of this month. Now it has been ten days. The reason for such a long gap in between these two posts is because i went through a depression phase. One amazing thing that I realized from these 8 days is that my time to recuperate from depression has reduced to a week. It started last week Thursday when I didn't attend my CAT classes because I had a test that day and I couldn't prepare for it properly even after organizing  a plan for the preparation.. its just that travelling 3 hours a day back and forth between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai is taking its toll on me.. Even when I had an excellent plan for the preparation for the test i couldn't not complete the prep in time.. My CAT classes are having a weird effect on me.. When I joined the classes I was told that my confidence will grow as I learn.. But all that has happened is that even after putting a considerable amount of effort for the CAT preparation, for every test they conduct, my self...

BREAKING POINT

Image
I have a lot of issues to handle..  But for the past couple of months i was proud that i had handled one of my problems. My temper. the chain of events that occurred in the last 3-4 days has led me to me to go back on that..  I try my best to stay calm..  But still i had a breaking point..  Let me walk you through what happened in my life from last Thursday..  With my CAT classes going on and my college on the other hand i have a lot of stuff on my plate which keeps me very busy..  So till Wednesday night i was pretty packed with work..   But Thursday morning.. I fell sick.. But the good thing was that i was awake from morning..  So i started to do my studies but with very little energy..  And by the time it was noon i was done..  I got frustrated and the only way i know to blow of steam is by watching some good movies. And as i started watching movies my whole day got wasted. But i convinced myself that it was fine...

TV- SERIES - HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER

Image
The reason i started watching this TV-series was because the title was catchy.. Yes.. it does give away the whole idea behind the series.. But it makes up for it in every other way possible.. Unlike other TV series.. where they first show you the back story of all the characters in the first couple of episodes then start the real plot of the series so that you have a better understanding of the story and all the characters playing their parts in it.. here... its the total opposite.. I really want to discuss the details but i don't want to spoil your experience... Its got a court room drama like " suits ".. but some times in " suits " i cant follow the court room drama as they get into a lot of technical stuff of the law but in this it is a little easier to follow.. But i cant blame  " suits ".. because they have to include technical stuff .. its what their whole series is based on.. For people who like suspense in each and every turn.. thi...

IDLE THOUGHTS

Image
You know the famous saying right.. " an idle mind is a devil's workshop.. Well that might be true.. This post is for people who are day dreamers.. Especially for those who dream about bad stuff.. You know what i mean. Let me give you an example.. I had planned out this very busy schedule for me.. Which is supposed to keep me busy for the rest of my day.. So as i was working on my research methodology paper.. I was noting down some important points on my laptop and my mind starts to wander.. That's not the worst part.. In my mind.. As i was dreaming and doing my work ( multi-tasking. I know).. I could have thought about anything.. At-least something pleasant or soothing but all that flowed in my head was the mistakes i made in my childhood.. I know.. It sounds silly but this is how we get demotivated and stop doing stuff.. For a very long time i couldn't find the reason i half bake everything i do.. I mean i never complete a task if i...

INTROVERT IN THE NEW WORLD

i had never come across the words introvert and extrovert till my 12th grade.. the first time when i heard it was when my sister, who had come back home from college for the summer, was telling me about a website that provides the service of determining your personality trait through a questionnaire. i was not really into this subject and just took the online " test"  for my own amusement. after answering about 40 question which were mainly about different situations and had four option each. the options were ways in which we would react to the situations and we had to choose the appropriate one according to our knowledge... to be frank, going through the 40 question was tiring but to get a fairly accurate result i completed the questionnaire . and the result i got was that i am an INTROVERT.. it did not mean a great deal to me then but during my great depression of 2011.. ( great depression.. sounds like a historical period) .. i did discover that i was an introve...

PHOTOGRAPHY - LETS BEGIN

Image
I'm not the Guru of photography but I would like to share with you what I know about it... The great words that I read from a website long time back turned my attention towards photography. " A picture speaks a thousand words . Every picture contains a story. " These are not the exact words :-p. but this gives the gist. Every picture we take or capture has a story to it. Doesn't matter if it is a selfie with a friend or a birthday party or a beautiful scene etc. A story cannot be understood if the contents do have a structure.. or to be more simple if the story is not in order we will not be label to comprehend it.. Hence if every picture is a story then the structure of the story lies in our hands  - the photographers. It does not matter what type of equipment you used to capture the image.. whether it is a mobile phone or a SLR camera or just a point-shoot digital camera.. the story still lies in your hands.. I would like to teach you how to build a good...

MONDAY - THE MOST HATED DAY - BUT I LOVED IT!

This is not a new topic.. its the oldest topic discussed in the history of mankind. This particular topic has so much relevance to us that we think of this every day of the week.. and it is this topic that prevails in the mind of every adult on earth from Sunday evening.. Actually to make thing better and enjoy the Sunday evening is to not think about Monday and have fun.. relax and get a good night's sleep.. This is what every normal person would do but instead i chose to take the oath less... no no no least chosen.. I decided to stay awake the whole night and think about my past over some cold coffee and some chips.. and it was not a bad decision as all my teachers in school and professors in college have told me to think about the past.. evaluate myself and plan the future.. out of this three step process i decided to take the first step.. I have had my fair share of success and failures in life and thinking about it would do me no good as my failures always exceed my suc...

Image
MY DREAM - TO STAY LAZY For people who spend most of the time on their laptops this is the app to go for.. Yes, i know all of you guys actually do serious work on your laptop but i mainly use my laptop for movies and stuff.. The thing is when working on a laptop it is very distracting to constantly  pick your phone and check the notifications .. Some times the notification may be about a mail that is important to you or your work related stuff and you don't want to miss such things Or you missed all your messages and calls because some of us are lazy to carry our phone everywhere inside the house.. The solution to all of this is provided my this app.. PUSHBULLET can be installed in your phone and it has two options for the PC.. either you can install the app on your PC or in your chrome browser.. The most beautiful thing about this app it.. It does more than show your notifications.. you can reply for the messages that you receive on Watsapp from your laptop itself .. wh...

TRUE DETECTIVE - A MUST WATCH TV SERIES

Image
MOST OF MY TIME AT HOME IS IN FRONT OF THE TV yes.. people say that watching TV is one of the main reasons for being over weight but some TV series just steal your heart and you have to watch them.. no matter what.. I mean .. since the start of this TV series " TRUE DETECTIVE " in 2014, I have been fascinated by it.. The direction and the script has been done so beautifully that it will not fail to captivate you in every way.. The series is about two detectives who solve a case where cult scarifies were made by kidnapping. I have watched a considerable no: of TV series and the most common pattern that I have noticed in most of them is that the first couple of episodes of the first season are always a little boring but are very crucial to understand the rest of the series.. The problem with this is that some people when hey find that the starting is a little less interesting they decide that the rest of the series will be like that.. this is judging a book...

GMAIL vs INBOX - GOOLE WARS

Image
THE TOUGHEST CHOICE.. Whether you should go for Gmail or Inbox.. I'm sure people had a blast thinking how people are going to crazy when they have to decide whether to go the best mail app - Gmail.. Or its successor Inbox..  Well .. Let me give you my opinion which will make things simple for you..  Inbox... Has a fantastic UI ( user-interface) .. The main feature of the app is the bundles that you can create to sort all your email into categories .. This is they key feature of Inbox.. It shows notification of mails that only matter.. So this new hands-off approach is appreciated by many people who have too much traffic to their mail ids..  Other features includes the reminder option where you can add reminders and also can snooze them to your convenience...  The app also highlights important mails like flight tickets etc..  So its actually a good transformation of Gmail but i somehow couldn't get the most out of it.. Because most ...

GAME OF THE WEEK - MAGIC RUSH-HEROES

Image
Hey guys.. sup?? I installed this game.. MAGIC RUSH - HEROES.. For people who think animated games with fantasy characters is silly.. its not for you.. otherwise it is the best game.. You know the problem with strategy games is that .. it involves a lot of work as you have to constantly check multiple times in a day the progress of the game.. like you have to upgrade the buildings or soldiers or the other objects in the game which may be interesting for some people who like to manage this stuff.. But for people who are lazy like me or who have a busy work schedule to check for the upgardes adn perform them this is the game to go for.. All you have to do is fight battles which will require some strategical thinking and the rewards which you gt will help to boost your player's level.. and the animated characters are awesome. i have just started the game and i am a level 6 player as of now.. but im loving it.. TRY IT..

THE FIRST STEP TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEM

Hi guys. Everybody has problems.. some people even go and pay people to hear their problems and get a solution for it.. even i am one of them.. when I broke up with my girlfriend in 2012.. and  didn't take it very well... what I took instead was smoking and drinking.. and getting wasted .. this was not the solution because all i did was keep thinking about the problem and do you know where that leads to... QUESTIONS... you'll have so many question in mind about the problems and all that happened to starting with the very basic on - " why does this always happen to me?? ".. The secret behind finding a solution to all your problems is to stop asking questions and start searching for answers.. what is the point of having a pile of questions without answers.. which is going to keep corroding the mind and affect your health whereas we can search for the answers to the question and tackle them one after the other.. when i broke up with my ex-girlfriend ..
