All right. Raise your hands if you like to be carefree and enjoy life’s essence. I can’t see but I do hope many of you are raising your hands like, “HELL YEAH!” But what concerns and disappoints me is that there are people who leash themselves and stop themselves from living life. Restricting them by being goody two-shoes overload, and by overload, I mean stupidly overload, crazy overload. Let me give a small image on what I mean. Imagine a life where you see many obstacles which you can pass by being you and doing it your way, but you don’t even try to overcome them and just sit there saying, “I have to endure it, it’s my karma. ” or "Can't ask for too much." WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?! Your ‘Karma’?? Pardon moi, but if Prince Siddartha had kept saying that, we wouldn’t have Buddhism today. Too much? What sort of talk is that? Is it too much to try and overcome difficulties?! Then I guess ‘self-motivation’ and ‘self-strength’ are just there to sip coke, eat some ...

Do you know K-pop? Has it annoyed you in anyway? Well, sorry to say, I’m one of those crazy fangirls of K-pop. Actually, my interest goes out to one particular group; BTS. Why? Well, the reasons are interesting. Now, K-pop, in general, is music made in South Korea. And there are a whole lot of groups and soloists. These groups and soloists belong to certain agencies in the K-pop industry, with the famous ones being JYP, SM, YG, aka the big 3. Why do people like K-pop? 1 .  Rebellion against the status quo: Now, we, youngsters, are the type which likes to explore and gladly do, things that the previous generations haven’t and things outside the mainstream. Listening to K-pop is one of them. So, it gives a feeling of uniqueness to the young person and makes it even more special to enjoy. 2.   Group feeling: When someone says singers, usually, what’s the picture? Soloists. Yes, there are groups but what’s the majority? Exactly. But the young generation of today has a sens...

I wanted to talk about a real topic right now. When you hear gender equality, what comes first to mind? Equal rights for both genders and that sort. Okay, let’s say we got that. Are you sure? Society still mocks all types; females, homosexuals included. Still the gender barrier is there, still people wrong homos, and racism? Going rampant on the streets, it is. Let me take you through the details. 1.       1.   Gender barrier Yup, it’s still there. Women are still considered weak, passive, and worse, a burden. A burden every family wants to remove through marriage to somebody. Don’t deny it. I’m sure you can see it wherever you go, not only India. Still, norms exist. Those stupid norms made by NARROW-MINDED people, I’d like to call it, still prevail. Those misconceptions nobody wants to let go of for their own greed. I ask you, what is so big a problem to not let your girl learn? And I’m talking about boyfriends who don’t let their girlfriends study, husban...
