Zombie Living

A beyance is the one word that can summarize an entire month of my life. I have now witnessed how procrastination can lead to total inactivity which was unprecedented to me, heretofore. I would  not   say it is a very common experience in daily life yet fortunate ones (generally suffering from acute depression etc.) get to observe the ultimate prowess of procrastination. You essentially need to be procrastinating on every single activity which is not forced upon you by nature or college administration for a month to finally attain this state which I shall christen as Zombie Living .

Paradox of Choice: The Paradox

Some might argue that we draw experience from our past but then, to be forthright, how often do we learn from our mistakes ( someone did right say experience is the name we give to the mistake that we so blatantly repeat in past that it unlike...

In pursuit of dreams

Then the black clouds shrouded and black rain fell blackening all perceptions of the goal I held.  And thus were darkened all my dreams, my hopes, as I try to sail down a pitch black tunnel devoid of any rope that could guide me through these waves of uncertainties and despair that shake my soul with no hermit to save my self tormented by the wounds inflicted by my own  skepticism Just the belief of a better tomorrow helped me crawl in pursuit of my dreams.
