My first childhood fandom; The X-Files..

Granted that it was scary and not good as a tv show after 9 pm, I loved it and I still do.

I was 8 when I first started to watch the series, in 2003 and I instantly became a fan. 

Ever since that little girl remains the same, waiting till January 24^th to watch the new season,

Mulder and Scully again.

If you are like me, please raise your hand I’d like to give you a high five. Yeah.!

*In this post I’m talking about the character Mulder not the actor David Duchovny whose acting is beyond expectation and brilliant & I assure you there are no spoilers about the new season.. So feel free to keep reading....

Rest In Peace Alan Rickman ...

Our Snape; hero who was hidden in the plain sight.

I first saw him on the big screen as the rude, boring Potions Professor.

His acting was brilliant. We saw only the evil professor until the very end where we saw his memories. And ever since he is a hero for us.

Visiting the vulnerable.. Take your heart with you ; they don’t care what else you bring.!

This vulnerability may come from a terminal disease, a sudden illness or an accident.

Some of these disability situation can be recovered over time. 

They assist psychological help during these recovery process. 

But in the meantime, family members and close friends have a responsibility.

I currently visited a friend of my dad’s and he was suffering from complications of a stroke.

He was a teacher and he is also a karate black belt winner. I think this pretty much explains his physical and psychological capacities.

His family members has been a great support to him though I couldn’t accept the person who lends him books to read.

The person I mentioned above lends him many religious books. I always accept reading any type of book but in this vulnerable position, it’s not the best time to read about the uncertainty of life.

Tell me I don't know. What love is I'll never know...

You told me that you fell in love,

Like Romeo to a Juliette,

to be a Rama to Sita..

Was it her fetching face.?

her catching voice.?

You said you wanted a kindred spirit.

to haul you in altruism,

and to hold you in benevolence.

2016 : A year to Merge with old hobbies and Meet new ones.

Old hobbies, not so old but found only a few months ago.

New hobbies, they are on the way.!

My pencils and sketchbook, my blog : the old buddies.

They made 2015 awesome and bearable for me.

Pencils, notebook and sketchbooks were staring at me while I was running up and down with busy few days. They look forbidden and ignored. But if I could apologise I’d explain how much they helped me to stay on the edge in 2015. 

When we don't know where we are going.......

“If you know where you are going, you’re not going to find anything interesting.” – Michael Levitt, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry,2013.

I came across this quote when I was surfing through a twitter page of nobel laureates & this got me thinking.

Sometimes we are scared to take a leap or to step out from our comfort zone because we are terrified of the outcome, or where it will lead us. According to the quotation above, he was one person among many who didn’t  know where he was going. Apparently he won.

There’s a beauty in this, a wonder to make us strong enough to take the leap. Not knowing where we are going is like painting a sketch. We have an idea about how it will turn out, yet we carefully select our canvas and colours to paint it to be vibrant.

5 Words to a Teen from a 20-some ....

Life is like the ocean.. different phases, various natures... Beautiful and deep..

When turning 20, it made me look back at my own teen life.

I should’ve written this on my last day as a teenager, exactly 2 years ago. 

but I didn’t have a blog by then. Now I do and therefore I’m writing it now.

The most vibrant, beautiful, messy and willful 6 years. 13-19..

The time we will never get back. 

On your last day as a teenager don’t own anything to regret.!

Here are my 5 words to spend your teenage life......

5 Avenues to Redeem your Demons of the Past.!

We all have our own version of demons from the past. 

In our own way we’ve buried them in deep corners of our minds to move on with our lives.

These demons may have appeared in different forms; bad decisions, right decisions which were labeled as stupid by others, toxic people or surroundings.

Time to time these demons tend to peek through those deep corners and haunt our memories. This might happen through a single friendly reminding word with a hashtag by a loved one. The swarming memories are so powerful have the ability to break even a strong mind.

Finding the perfect balance between Ego & Superego.!

In psychology, the self fulfilling prophecy says that the way the society treats us is a reflection of how we treat the society and how we treat ourselves.

We should treat ourselves in the best manner we could because it will eventually fall upon us. The way we see us, the way we think about us and the self worth.

This doesn’t mean a wild superego. But a little worthy ego.

Superego has once described as a devil with no concern about others, while ego the angel tries to balance it.

According to Sigmund Freud the superego is accumulated to the surrounding, it grows according to our experiences and the interactions with the society.

In decision making and expressing ourselves superego can be helpful it gives us the dominant nature.

It’s about finding the perfect balance between superego and ego.

Taking the middle way: Noble eightfold path for the daily life..

Middle way is the path to happiness. The pursuit of happiness begins with moderation. 

We can’t either be overly enthusiastic about what we have or sad about what we haven’t.

It’s all about satisfying with simple things and things we have while doing our best to live the life we expect.

This is the second post of a series of posts which I started a week ago. Click here to read the first post.

Even this eightfold path idea roots from a complex philosophy, we can simplify and adjust it for our daily life.
