Satisfaction and Joy

Image
It's been really long since I published something here. I wasn't that busy but was searching for ideas to share something meaningful. In the last 2 months, I took up a part-time job at a bakery in a hospital. I was put on the line on the back where I had to make sandwiches, salads, and wraps for the customers. Many people back off when they are assigned that duty. But I really liked it.  There are a few reasons why I liked it and wanted to share them. Food is something that is right at the top in anybody's life. It is like the most basic necessity for any living organism. How do you feel when you are done with a really long day of work and you go out to grab some food and you get some extra food than you asked for? It makes my mood happy seeing that extra food. ALWAYS! There is a different kind of satisfaction when you see someone smile seeing good food at the end of the day. And that satisfaction gets elevated when you are the one making that food. Ain...

Ego = 1/Knowledge

Ego : A person's sense of self esteem or self importance How would one react when their ego is hurt? Would you go all angry and violent? Or just let it go because you know what you are?  Bigg Boss in Telugu is a TV reality show just like Big Brother. I follow it regularly. Many people have a notion that it is all unwanted drama. But I see it as a social experiment. When you have nothing to do and need to live with a few other strangers for 100 days, is something of an experiment about human behavior.   There is a contestant in this season who is a human activist, atheist and many other things. There was a small disturbance last week where his ego was hurt. This made him react with anger to the situation. In my opinion and based on what was shown in the show,  he was superior to the other people in the house cause he had achieved so much in life and wanted to make a mark of it. He was later trolled a lot on social media by th...

Pain and Sculpture

Pain and Sculpture Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I posted something on my blog. I  was seeking for motivation to write something. I have been through more than 50 documentaries during the past 2 months trying to find any kind of inspiration that I usually tend to.  I was watching a famous event for the automotive world called GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED. It is an annual event where different kinds of cars are showcased and run over a hill climb course. The cars date back as long as 1903 to the future autonomous race cars. While I was watching these cars go up the hill, there was this small Formula 3 car by Billy Monger. Looking at the car you wouldn't know what the story of this kid is unless you are into motorsports. Formula 1 had its fair bit of safety record after the death of the famous Ayrton Senna on the 1st of May 1994. Until 2014, there were no fatalities because of accidents on the track. In 2014 Jules Bianchi crashed into a crane that...

Feelings

Feelings!! I came across this question when I was going through Quora recently. How do I mask my depression so it does not effect my day-to-day life? And this got me thinking. Is this even a valid question? While I came across this question, I also happen to watch a video on FALSE POSITIVITY in one of the Ted talks. I will attach the link to the video at the end of this post. But the video talks about how we judge some of the emotions as bad. So I replied to the question above as follows,  Why do you want to mask something that is a natural feeling? Why does the world see anger, depression, unhappiness etc as all bad? Aren’t they with us from the time of birth? If you are feeling depressed. Be so. Why do you want to show something other than what you feel? Would you mask your hunger to stop affecting your day to day life? All these so called negative feelings are part of life. There maybe a day you stop being depressed. Let everything flow naturally. It isn’t a no...

KARMA!!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN KARMA? Hello. I hope you found my previous review about one of my scale model interesting. I will update more reviews as and when I can get them in my hands on them and will include a plethora of photos.  Coming back to this post, Karma! We all often come across this word. It is originated from the Sanskrit word Karman, which translates to 'duty'. But what does it actually mean?  Karma : noun  in Hinduism and Buddhism the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.   So do you believe in this karma? Everything we are today and will be in the future is affected by the state we were in or are currently in. We don't give a second thought to it as we assume such is life and it simply goes on.   Many a time, Karma is associated with the bad that happens in our lives. "Karma hits you back" is what we hear more often. Why is it that it is n...

At a Cross Road

Image
At a Cross Road Hello everyone. Another year is coming to an end, another year to look forward to. Time just flew by, as it always does. Everyone would ask at this time what our new year resolution would be? Why not just ask what were the moments you cherished or hated, who were the people you met for the first time and for the last time, what was that you started to like and started to hate and so on. Every day we come across at least one crossroad. But did you ever just sit near a crossroad and observe? You would always see people taking the roads without thinking so much. Because they know the destination, so involuntarily they know which road to take. But did you ever stop at a crossroad not knowing where to go and just waited there to decide? Try doing that in the middle of the day, and people behind you get impatient. They start honking and you are forced to take a road that you might not have intended to take. Was it your choice? Maybe. But you would have had ample time to...
