The Secret Of Food Coma

Life is a mystery filled with desires that people desire. But there is one desire, that beats all others. So many people yearn for it. They spend their life in search of it, but they never find it. Today, I will show you the path. The ancient secret shall be revealed in this blogpost. Today, I will tell you the secret to the perfect food coma. All you have to do to attain this state of semi-nirvana, is follow these steps. Step 1: Time Time is of the essence . The best time for a food coma is between 12p.m. to 3p.m., also called the time of 'important' meetings and important lectures. The sleep in this period is dangerously comforting. An average of 15 minutes should be your ideal food coma time. Try to have nothing on your mind during this time period.  Step 2: Work This is a pre-requisite for the perfect food coma. If you are dog tired, your body will sleep better. Do some physical labor related work. Let your body ache. Let your unused muscles tighten. This p...

When you have 5 consecutive days off, the reasonable thing to do is find a decent internet connection and flit through the world of YouTube.

Youtubers are very brave. They are entertainers. Their product isn't just something they created, it tends to be themselves. They are the product.  Endless tumblr posts,meme,twitter followers and dirty fan fiction are created about these people (especially Marcus Butler who looks like this:) hmmmmmm.(This hmmm contains lewd thoughts, questioning what the world thinks is worthy of popularity, questions on why I decided to put his picture here, justifications like 'well he does put out good content and more googling of his images. So, this hmmmm can be ignored.) These people have been around for ages and VidCon is a stamp to their popularity. But some people live under a wi-fi less rock. They need to be told what they can watch on YouTube. Here are seven . TheFineBros They have both fictional and non-fictional content. Their fictional content on break-ups seems to be as ruthlessly absurd as real-life breakups. Non-fictional includes a series o...

For this post I did legit research and stuff

Ever scroll through your social media networks and see phrases like ' THIS REALLY KILLED ME!!' with an accompanying picture of a lizard playing the violin? I'm guilty of such acts. Not of musical lizards, because that would be the best thing since Harry Potter, but saying things like 'BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE' next to a Game Of Thrones Meme. Or some other seemingly irrelevant images and videos. Do we really invest as emotion as we say? Or is it just hyperbole? I came across this article that gives the 7 emotions that will help you go viral. It isn't ground-breaking, advertisers have been using this technique way before the internet came along. Dividing ads into ethos (pertaining to ethics), pathos (emotional appeal), logos( appealing to reason) was helpful in targeting audiences. But here, it gets a little more complex. Apparently, it isn't enough that the viral content has an emotional aspect, the segmentation of the emotion is important to...

Cheese Pasta

That virtue patience has a close cousin named waiting. When I was a kid ( a long long time ago) I had to wait for everything. Is the Maggi ready? Wait. Don't eat it, it's too hot. Wait. Can I watch TV now? Wait. Don't shake your legs, be still and wait. I still do it, at the beauty parlor waiting room mostly. Shake my legs impatiently, but then I catch myself and stop. Because, even in waiting, there is etiquette. I shouldn't cut the line for movie tickets just because I'm a kid.  I had to respect how much everyone else has waited. Also they'll call you a brat child if you do that. (I  cut the line numerous times. I was a brat but at least I was a brat with movie tickets.What's the use of being small if I didn't use it.).Waiting at an ATM machine is bad enough without the person behind you going tsk in your ear. Maybe they think that makes the wait shorter. Waiting for my coffee to come doesn't give me permission to lean and rest my head on the co...

Never Listen to Yourself

Phase 1  'Listen to your heart' is a popular phrase. Used by musicians, teenage girls and start-up businessmen. It is actually an unfinished phrase. The full version of it would be 'Listen to your heart, if you want to perish.' Our heart tells us things like 'sure, it's okay to have a fourth round of roadside paani puri, and no,that dress is not too expensive.' And a little more scary things like 'Yes, you should feel righteous about killing that guy' and 'we will go to any length to protect our way of living.' Its not that the heart shouldn't be trusted. Wait, no its exactly that. I have no scientific backing and only the unwilling social experiment of my own life to fall back on when I say, our mind makes us do stupid stuff(heart/mind/limbic system/hormones/lalala). It makes us hold on to bad relationships, it makes a diabetic want sweets, it makes us put the alarm on snooze for the fifth time when we were supposed to be at work ...

I have written this for writers

In college, we had this ridiculous subject called Positive Psychology. It was something about concentrating on human flourishing rather than mental illness. It was the Sesame Street of psychology. Anyway, one of the assignments I got for the subject was to write a letter of gratitude to someone who had made my life a little more bearable. I had many choices in mind, my parents, JK Rowling, my cousins and friends. I don't remember who I finally wrote it to but I wrote it in a hurry. But today I feel like thanking the person who really made a difference to my life. I'm talking to you, the one who chose to push her fantasies into reality. The one who yawned when his parents said "Become a *insert conventional job*' The one who thinks knowing the English alphabet is all the tool you need to make a living. Im talking to you,the writer. You write, think, write some more,backspace,write again,proof-read,and send across your creation into the world. Well I don't need to...
