Let's start with a simple example which could be relatable to most of you. The year was 2020 and you had planned an oversees trip with your friends. You've bought your best pair of clothing. You've made a list of things to do. You've read about all kinds of foods to eat and places to go... And then boom! Here's the Lockdown. The entire world is at home and you have to cancel your plans. It's obvious that you're disappointed and upset about your plan failing. Now let's look at it the other way around. You've planned your trip with your friends. You're all set but you've been hearing about this deadly virus slowly spreading across the world and various places going in quarantine. There's a thought LURKing in the back of your mind that you might need to cancel your plans and go into quarantine as well. So you alternately plan things that you'll do if you need to stay at home. In that way, if your outdoor plans fail, you'l...

"Why did this happen to Me? What wrong did I do that I have to deal with this? Will this continue forever? Will my boss keep using me like his personal servant all his life!? Will people keep calling me with Anti-Nationalist and Racist Slurs for no reason? Will I ever work at a place that I've always dreamt of working?" With a tear in my eye, I just sat there in the broken corner seat of the public bus asking all these questions to myself. I was supposed to be on bed rest because I have been suffering jaundice and was physically weak, but I was called for work by my boss because of shortage of Men. I had to extend three hours for which I was not going to get paid. Above all, I had to bear with his abusive behavior for being slower than usual although he was aware of my condition. I went home and spoke to my Mom and Dad about what was happening, and they asked me to leave the job right away. "But I have no other option!? If I leave this job, then I have nothing el...

I've been discussing a lot about Paranormal with people since my posts "Fear at the Mall" ,  "Top 20 Most Haunted Places in India"  and even "The Last Conversation" . Spiritual or supernatural experiences excite people on a different level. But a lot of people also pointed out the fact that most of these places are either haunted during the nights or haunted by a woman in whites or both. I've researched about that and have an explanation. Firstly, paranormal LURKs around all the Time. Its the humans who are distracted by Lights and Noises during the Day. That makes us ignorant towards Paranormal activities. So things might go unnoticed. However, it's more prominent in the night when it's more silent and deserted. It's said that Supernatural Activities are more Intense between 3AM to 5AM which is also scientifically termed as Dead Time. Secondly, the logic behind spirits in white is when a Person Dies naturally or Unnaturally...

I received a lot of backlash through text messages in my post “Why do Rapes Happen?” when I mentioned that sex is not a basic need. People said that what I had written was wrong and Sex is indeed a basic human need. They shared links of articles to prove their point. Well! there were articles and a movie about the world ending in 2012 and here we are! I was unable to relate to what they said. So, I decided to deep dive and find out what exactly is the whole debate about. Firstly, I want to clear the air here… I’m not against the part where they say that sex is good for health and mind. I do agree with people on that and the fact that sex is important. Being sexually active keeps us healthy in many ways. I only disagree about the part where it is termed as a basic need. The reason being the fact that we have been taught that basic needs are things that keeps us alive. We’ve never heard or seen someone die because he/she was unable to have sex. If we go by Wikipedia, basic n...

When most of us think of the internet, we think of our everyday activities like watching videos on YouTube, sharing pictures and stories on Facebook and Instagram and talking to friends & family on WhatsApp. However, most of us are not aware that the Internet is just not about all this stuff. What we use over the Internet is just a small part of the World Wide Web. The regular things that we do every day like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube are known as Surface Web which covers just 20% of the Web. Basically, a website where you need username-password to access basic things is surface web. Then comes Deep Web wherein you find banking and other private and secure details of people. It covers 70% of the World Wide Web. Limited people have access to these details. The software that bankers or ISP's or Internal Service Desk work on are a part of the Deep Web. People complain about it being slow all the time. That's because these pages never have a static IP which is for securit...

When asked about how does he keeps his wife happy, Actor Will Smith has replied "Her Happiness is not my responsibility. She should be happy, and I should be happy individually. Then we come together and share our happiness. Giving someone else the responsibility to make you happy when you cannot do it is selfish." I've heard a lot of people asking around "How can I be happy by staying single and alone?" and I found it so funny. Irrespective of my relationship status, I never found it important for anyone to be around me to make me happy. I have my own space to be happy. However, I had no words to explain to them the same thing. Recently I watched a video featuring famous monk and my favorite speaker, Jay Shetty . I then had my words constructed on how to explain people about being happy. Everywhere you go you hear a bunch of people saying that they'll go mad without their Lover. You also hear them say that its their Lovers who keep them Happy...

From the Day the world came into existence, people debate on the fact “Do Ghosts really Exist? Is paranormal really a thing? Is there a supernatural world hidden from us?” Parties from both the ends have always made compelling arguments. You'll be forced to believe what people say. So many movies have been made about hauntings theories and paranormal phenomenon. T ake a walk around the neighborhood, you'll come across places that people say have been unvisited since a long time. These places usually have spooky and mysterious stories LURKing in the background with it. This , once again, brings me to the question that I had mentioned  above and that is "Do ghosts exist?" I do h ave had my experiences which makes me believe the fact that "If there is God then there’s also Evil." Going by the Indian Hindu mythology, if there’s an unnatural and untimely death somewhere and no last rites have been performed on the deceased then there will be supernatural prese...
