How gaming changed my perception of life and Human Relations.

We’ve all been there-the gaming phase. Before the age of Xbox and PlayStation, gaming started off with those battery operated retro consoles, that played weird music and had bricks for game. Then came the wave of gaming cassettes. I for one remember being a sucker for those 100 in 1 cassettes, but ended up playing Super Mario the most. My gaming habits used to be so unhealthy, I remember ending up with deep dark circles and dents in my thumbs from those plastic controllers.

Back then, those cassettes used to be the only form of gaming I got. Growing up as a single child, these games turned out to be the best father-daughter bonding activity of my entire life. I still remember how I gave the controller to my dad because I was frustrated at Mario not completing the water level. I’m ashamed to completely admit the fact that, I on a personal level could never beat the boss, it was dad.

When Super Mario was done and dusted with, I had the thirst to play the other games too. Contra came second, I would not say it was bad. I still can’t figure out the actual motive behind the game, unlike SM, Contra took me to a whole different intergalactic journey.

Before fps’s like COD, there was Duck Hunt topped with an actual gun for a controller. The most frustrating game ever, partly because my controller kept getting stuck in the middle.

Growing up, those 100 in 1 cassettes used to be the only things I played, and that bothered my parents a little. It was pretty obvious. You’d not want your daughter breaking the general stereotypes and playing games that were limited to-boys. Of course, I had barbie dolls, and also had my share of the online dress up games as a kid. But I still found myself coming back to the games that were made for ‘boys’. Fast forward to 2011 or 2012, I started playing actual computer games, but still stayed somewhat limited to Final Fantasy and GTA. Fast forward to 2016, I’m playing Call of Duty, and by the time I reached 2017, I’m the only girl in a team of 12 playing almost regular COD matches online.

Gaming has always been an integral part of my life, not only did the stories fascinate me. I mean I legit got dreams about Vaas from Far Cry and I’ll not lie about it, it was scary. The stories, the characters made me feel somewhat invincible, when in reality I will actually run away at the sight of a cockroach.

I get judged a lot for something I enjoy and love doing- playing games, because like I mentioned before, it was meant for ‘BOYS’. I’m proud of myself for actually completing games, my female peers would rather steer clear from.

I don’t expect my parents to completely accept the fact that weekends are for gaming, and weekdays are for work. I also don’t expect them to suddenly stop judging my gaming circle for being too ‘Male Oriented’. It’s the people I like playing with, and as long as I am having fun in it, I don’t see the point of caring what others think.

“I don’t think without the existence of a few of the characters in the games I played, without their stories and how they fought their monsters-I would never have been able to fight my own.”

Gaming proved to be the best companion during those low phases of my life, when I had a hard time channelizing all those inbuilt anger. I still remember opening up my laptop, for a online match or a general story mode game every time I felt low, because I knew that by the time I was done with a 2-hour marathon I was going to smile and peacefully fall asleep.

I had my share of scary online server experiences, when I went head first into a random server just a week into playing online and got beaten up pretty bad. Well it was an experience nonetheless.

If I compare my SM and Contra self, to my online COD self today. There’s an obvious change in the way I deal with certain things in life, and in the way I interact with people in my life. Gaming, has been positive for me, always have and always will. Of course, sometimes I wish to keep the self somewhat hidden under the gamer name I hold (you really thought I’d tell the world my gamer name. lel.), but at the same time I do wish for the world to know that female gamer exist and gaming is not completely ‘Male Oriented’.

While we’re at it, what are your favorite gaming moments from the past?

 

The Ultimate Cheat Sheet to Look Cool Online (Without Coming off as an Ass)

In this digital era, the internet enables us to connect with different people from different cultures. These days, we communicate through different platforms like social media, forums or maybe chat room of an online video game. Who knows, right?

To look cool on the internet is at least as difficult as it is in real life, and it may be debilitating to deal with rude folks tagging you in shitty memes or underestimating your potential all the time.  

But Guess what? You have made the right decision to start reading this Ultimate Cheat Sheet to Look Cool Online. Your online life will not be the same after reading this guide.

So, without further ado, let’s dig into it

Social media has enabled us to share whatever we want to share with the whole world. We can share our thoughts with each and everyone in the world.

“Your Thoughts are a Reflection of What You Believe and What You Believe is Who You are!”

Let’s proceed with our hacks to look cool online.

Observe Your Surroundings:

Before posting something on your social profile, you need to observe your surroundings carefully. Keep an eye on the posts in your circle and how people react to them. It is critical to point out to which content; the audience is relating more. Now, that content can be anything. It can be a meme, info post or a How-To Guide. Since everyone has a different audience to target so it is up to you to observe your surroundings before posting anything on your social profile.

After observing your surroundings, you need to pull the trigger too.

Start Sharing Your Views:

You have taken up all the time to get to the right audience and now it’s the time to ROCK. You need to start posting about your research about a certain topic or whatever the trend is. If you’re consistently posting, you’ll definitely get people’s attention. It’s human psychology that, if something keeps on repeating, the human mind starts to accept it.

Be Good At What You Do:

Well, it’s the compulsory part of this ultimate cheat sheet to look cool online without coming off as an ass. Being good at whatever you do is crucial because you don’t want to make fun of yourself before others.

There are just so many examples out there who are just updating their statuses like “Finally made Million Dollars without spending a dime. You can achieve this too, buy my course for just 47$ (with 70% Discount :p) and I will teach you how to make 100k$ overnight.“

So, you don’t need to be the BLOGSTAR who is teaching about SEO and doesn’t have an SSL on his own blog.

Pretty dumb, right?

 

blogstar

 

Well, no one will even want an advice from you if you just do the talking without a certain action. Let me tell you what I meant by that.  You have to check-out the image given below to know more.

That so-called, “SEO Expert” is teaching for free but no one cares because he’s not good at what he does. He just keeps talking mode on all the time instead of putting efforts to get some real results.

So, that might happen to you too if you are not good at what you do. On the other hand, let’s have a look at the owner of IFTISEO, Iftekhar Ahmad.

He knows what he’s talking about and he has proved it many times. He has built up the trust, love and a pure relationship with his audience. I’m going to attach screenshots of his Facebook Profile Statuses.

ifti1

After 15 hours, 520+ people reacted to his status (organically). What does that mean? People have started to accept him as their friend, colleague, the perfect guy to hangout with (I’d love too) and the real guy to ask SEO and SMM related queries. He knows what he is doing.

Let’s take a look at his selling post on his Facebook profile.

ifti2

That’s organic reach of his Facebook profile. He got 170+ reactions (including mine :p) and 4 shares as well. People are ready to buy Iftekhar Ahmed opinions because they are based on experiments and supported by facts.

It’s all up to you now, if you want to become the next #BlogStar or the next Iftekhar Ahmed. It’s your choice now!

No, it’s not over yet. Continue reading…

Don’t be a Conversation Killer:

You don’t need to be the king of communication skills to have a great conversation on social platforms. You just need to consider few things while having a conversation with anyone. You need to avoid using conversation killer terms like “K”, “hmmm” “IDK” and so on.

 

need a course to reply hmm or k

Don’t dare to use conversation killers while having a conversation with anyone. It’ll make the other person realize that you’re putting all the efforts to make or keep that relationship good. It will also reveal that you’re giving value and time to other’s opinions and believe me, it works.

Don’t be Online 24/7:

People don’t give respect and value to something that is easy to access. The same goes for humans, if you’re 24/7 online and available to answer all the queries asked by other people related to business then you may lose that value. On the other hand, how will you do your work if you stay online 24/7 on social media platforms like Facebook?

No, I’m not asking you to stop replying messages but to schedule a day for it. You can do your work throughout the week and reply the pending messages on Sunday or any day you feel like doing it.

Reveal Behind the Scenes:

People love to watch the bloopers and behind the scenes clips of a movie. Everyone does, right? Well, the same goes for your real life and social media profile. You have to reveal behind the scenes to tell what exactly you do when you’re offline. For example, if you’re an SEO and you have ranked a high competition term and you have posted this good news on your Facebook profile. People will surely say, “Congratulations” but they will love it more if you make them successful too. Let me explain what I mean by that.

People would love to know how you ranked that specific high competition keyword. Right? Share a case study with them. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be a 2000-3000+ words blog post. You can explain everything on your Facebook timeline to make people around you successful in whatever they’re doing.

Still not getting it? Let’s see how Iftekhar Ahmed did.

 

ifti3

Be Original:

By that I mean is to use your real profile picture on social platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. You should learn how to take a good selfie because it’s a major factor that makes a person COOLER ONLINE. But please, keep selfies to a minimum.

Be Unique, Learn and Share:

Be unique. You have to mend the truth a little to make it look interesting. You should always be ready to learn and apply. But, if you want to get the trust and let people know you, you have to share things that you have learnt so far. And there is no point in hiding your knowledge.

Final Words:

Well, it is crucial to look cool online in this digital era. If you have an active social media profile then you’re already defeating the competition by a large margin. We all need to take the importance of social media platforms in our lives as well as for our business brands. If you want to look cool online without coming off as an ass then you should apply these cheats to bring happiness.

Adulting: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

The time is here. It’s time to responsibly address the fact that I am now officially an adult. In case you missed my birthday, you can get the scoop here. Being 21 automatically opened the floodgates to adulthood, and well like most of you, I was not prepared for it either. But as the days rolled out, I have started to understand what it is like to be an adult in the 21st century.

I’m just kidding. I’m as clueless as you are.
So with the help of a few *Adult* friends and thanks to a couple of adulting books I’ve been reading. I have brought out the good, the bad and the ugly things about being an adult. Get your adult on; you’re going on a *long* ride.

The Good things about being an adult: 

Adulting is hard, I won’t sugarcoat it or anything, and most of the time, it’ll hit you when you’re least expecting. But that surely doesn’t make being an adult a bad experience, does it?

#1. Bye, Bye! FAKE ID’s:

We’ve all been there. You go the hottest club in town on a Friday evening with your friends at 19 but wait; there’s a catch- entry is restricted to above 21 only. What do you do? Yep, Fake ID. These little bad boys have rescued you from what could’ve been a sticky and embarrassing situation so many times in the past.  But now that you’re 21, you don’t need Fake ID’s anymore, and nobody can stop you from doing the rounds on the club, responsibly.

 

good1

 

#2. New Apartment Space = Hello DIY decor!

As you grow up and into an Adult, you have the fabulous idea of leaving the comforts of your utterly beautiful home and live in another part of the world, another city or maybe just a few blocks away from the place you once called home. Once you get your new and wholly unfurnished apartment space, that DIY and Pinterest addict in you squeals in excitement for you can now finally set your home, the way you want to without your mom screaming at you for drilling multiple holes in the wall.

good2

#3. You are ‘almost’ free to buy ‘almost’ anything you wish:

The best thing about being an Adult would probably be the fact that you can buy that cute dress your mom wouldn’t let you buy or those leather boots you’ve been eyeing but your dad said sneakers are the best choice for you. Now that you’re a responsible adult you can treat yourself to those sporadic shopping attacks whenever you want.

good3

#4. You can eat, drink and sleep anytime you want.

You are now an Adult, probably living on your terms. So what do you do first? You eat pizza at 3 AM and drink wine at 12 PM (not saying it’s a good thing though). You are no longer bound by the curfew your parents set you when you were a *kid*. Go ahead, open the fridge and eat whatever you wish, without the fear of waking your parents up.

good4

#5. You are experienced.

Adulthood does not magically open all the doors to everything you need to know about the world, but it does make you prepared for the unexpected curveballs life may throw at you.
Broke a bulb? You got this.
Flat tire, no problem!

Spider infestation? Umm..Dad?

good5

#6. You can FINALLY have a pet!

For those who had pet allowing parents at home, you’re spoilt. For those like me, who never had the chance to bring a furball home. Congratulations dear Sir or Madame, now that you have your apartment (hopefully) you can have *whatever pet you have always fascinated about having. Want a dog? Get it, a cat, a bird? The choice is yours.

*I am not responsible if this point inspires you to get a tiger. I will not be held guilty if the tiger eats you up. good6

#7. You make your own money, Sonny!

You pretty much get access to the only most powerful thing in this world, MONEY! Adulthood pretty much opens up a lot of opportunities for you to earn some cha-ching without having an actual job (not talking about drug dealing). Find your path and make your power!

(Explains the #3 point or maybe just the ‘almost’)

good7

 

The Bad things about being an Adult:

*Pressure Intensifies*

#1. You get introduced to a lot of ‘bills.’

‘Bill’ here is unlike any of the Tinder dates you’ll ever have. ‘Bill’ comes only when you’re an Adult, counting the last few bucks off your month’s salary or income at the end of every month. You can relate ‘Bill’ to that friend who periodically takes money from you but never returns, the only difference being; this ‘Bill’ lets you cry over paper traces every month. Welcome to Adulthood.

bad1

#2. You’ll sit with ‘bill’ once a week, and you hate the confrontation.

So, ‘bill’ needs attention. Lots of it. Because if you don’t give your ‘bill’ due importance and don’t give him the money he needs to get out of your life for good, he’s going to bring all his other friends out and you’ll be left pretty penniless after that.
So you finally decide to sit, one Sunday morning with Bill and all his friends (because apparently, you ignored him last month). Bill takes care of your Rent, Electricity, Grocery, pretty much your whole life on a monthly basis. Never. Ignore. ‘Bill’.

Not enjoying Adulthood now, are we?

bad2

 

#3. You forget about ‘bill’, and ‘bill’ takes revenge on you.

So you unintentionally forget about this one important friend of ‘bill’ the monthly electricity bill, or maybe you kept it so safely you cannot remember the location anymore. You let it go, expecting a fine with next month’s ‘bill’, but you’re wrong, the price of ignoring ‘bill’ or any of his friends are more than just a fine. So you come home after a long day of work and realise there is no electricity. Yep, ‘bill’ has taken his revenge.

bad 3

#4. You suddenly realise you’re all alone.

Remember the time you proudly walked into your own unfurnished home? Well the realisation of the fact that not only is your apartment only filled with pieces of furniture but you’re also the only *human* living in it, you start missing your friends, your mom’s delicious apple pie and the spontaneous trips with your Dad to the beach. The realisation that you’re all alone, even though your loved ones are just a call away is something you’ll never get over.

thebad4

#5. You PROCRASTINATE. A little too much.

It’s nothing new. You’ve been procrastinating since forever. So what changed? The intensity of your procrastination. It’s almost as though the level of procrastination is directly related to your age. The more you age, the more you procrastinate. You will eventually put off cooking, cleaning the house, washing the sheets and finally look like someone living in the jungle for over 10-years.

thebad5

#6. Healthy food will never make it to your menu, or your cart.

Living alone would naturally mean you will have to cook for yourself while keeping the proper balance of nutrition and protein in your everyday diet. I mean if Oreo’s and McDonald’s had been considered as a healthy way to live, I would have been the first human to start preaching it. Living alone, also means nobody would correct you or advise you to eat healthily, so when you start gaining weight, you temporarily stop the junk but start out of pity when you don’t see any results of *Fitness Goals*. The struggle is real.

thebad6

#7. Cooking on your own is a nightmare.

Cooking requires practice; I can vouch for that. If you are someone who only walks into the kitchen to eat pre-cooked food or someone who lives of off outside junk. I’m sure you cannot differentiate between urad dal and chana daal (calling your mom for advice is not embarrassing). So when you finally head to the kitchen to cook up a culinary masterpiece you end up doing this and crying in the corner for the rest of the day, hungry and sad:

the bad 7

 

The worst things about being an Adult.

So far you’ve walked through the clean, green grass, you’ve also been pricked by a few thorns here and there. Before you get into the list, imagine walking on glass barefooted, because that’s exactly how it will feel now. Smile and step forward!

#1. Everybody is suddenly worried about your marriage, sexuality, and job *fake smile*.

You will be thrown into a frenzy of old and primitive relatives surrounding you asking you questions in no particular order such as ‘Beta, when are you getting married?’, ‘Beta, how much are you earning?’, ‘Beta, get a job. It’s time.’ And god forbid if you’re doing an unconventional job- ‘Beta, there is no scope here, go for *enter a cliched job that Sharma Ji’s son is doing*’. If you’re not already regretting adulthood with a fake smile, there’s more.

worst1

#2. Big, bad, wrinkly dark circles.

Late night binge watching, will not seem so relaxing when you wake up in the morning with dark circles darker than the Panda. Your metabolism slows, and the pimples on your face get ickier. Well, you should’ve added those healthy things to your grocery list when you had the time to. *Sigh*

worst2

 

#3. Socializing suddenly becomes an exhaustive affair.

Socializing makes you so tired, you tactfully craft excuses so you wouldn’t have to deal with other real humans at all. Because honestly, you would just stay at home and watch ‘Game of Thrones’ (again) rather than hear Tina, talk about her failed marriage.

worst3

 

#4. Your ideal ‘Adulthood’ vision is burnt, kept in an urn and thrown in the ocean. 

In other words, what fictional books and movies have taught you so far about ‘Adulthood’ was let’s just say a lie. Drinking all day, and partying all night is a myth, to help ease you into ‘Adulthood’. This is how real ‘Adulthood’ is- you work all day, probably all night on weekdays and you stay at home, curl yourself into a ball and binge watch Netflix all weekend.

worst4

#5. Calling the doctor for an appointment. ON YOUR OWN, because your body hates you.

Some fear doctor visits, and then there are some who fear any form of telephonic conversation with a doctor. When you were living your carefree, non-adult phases, doctor appointments were usually taken care of by your parents. But as you become an adult, you realise there are certain things you will have to take care of on your own now. Including calling the doctor. As daunting as it may sound, it’s better than crying over the fact that WebMD told you that the root of your headache is a parasite in your head.

worst5

 

#6. One word, COMPETITION.

I’m sure the last time you ever came anywhere close to the word ‘Competition’ was when you were in school trying to participate in an Inter-school event. But in the real world, the competition toughens. In the real world, you have to fight for a space in the metro, in the bus, run a marathon to get to the elevator hoping it’s empty. You have to compete for everything, and it’s nothing like the ones you had in school.

worst6


#7. The reality finally starts setting in.

You finally accept the fact that you are an adult and are ready to embrace the world like an adult. Only that, none of that will happen and you will continue smiling through the pain like you always have been. Let that sink in for a while.
Here, have a cookie.

worst 7

 

Congratulations on making so far, Human! You should be awarded something, and I have just what you need *digs into pocket*, Erm, I remember keeping it right here *Digs some more*, well this is embarrassing. I guess you will have to take the disappointment.

Adulthood is not an easy path but rests assured it will be one full of funny memories, bonds and change. I hope so.

While we’re at the end of the post, I would like to thank the INTERNET first, for helping me face Adulthood one day at a time with cat videos and for also providing the images and GIF’s above. A much-deserved thank you goes out to Jyotishman Sharma for suggesting the blog title and more or less inspiring the post.

What are the adulting issues you have or are facing in your life? Give me a holler down in the comments section. Let’s discuss!

Here’s to being the imperfect Adults we are!

Note: Thank you for sticking with me for over four years. I cannot thank you enough for helping me through everything. I have been nominated for the IndiBlogger Award, 2017 and would love it if you could click on the IndiBlogger image below this page and register your vote for me.

Spine chilling murder confessions that will churn your stomach!

“Murderers are not monsters; they’re men. And that’s the most frightening thing about them”– Alice Sebold.

The quote certainly underscores the dark and virulent shades of a man’s palette. Seeing someone die in front of eyes would be a person’s worst nightmare but what if taking life becomes the source of pleasure or an obsession for someone. Have you ever wondered that what would be in the minds of those savage psychopath serial killers who brutally murdered several innocent people?

Following are some of the most brutal serial killers ever and their spine chilling confessions.

Albert Fish (May 19, 1870 – January 16, 1936):

Fish was an American serial killer, who had been convicted of murdering three people and confessed to rape as well as cannibalize up to 100 people. From his early age, he was introduced to the practice of drinking urine and eating feces. He used to insert needles in his scrotum and fill his buttocks with nail studded paddle for ‘pleasure.’  His method of killing included stabbing with a knife, meat cleaver and a small handsaw. Cannibalism became an obsession for him. He would rape young boys, mutilate their bodies and eat them, sometimes raw and sometimes cook it himself. In a letter to his attorney, he had confessed:

“I put onions, carrots, turnips, celery, salt, and pepper. It was good. Then I split the cheeks of his behind open, cut off his monkey, and pee wees and washed them first. I put strips of bacon on each cheek of his behind and put them in the oven…… So the meat would be nice and juicy. In about 2 hours, it was nice and brown, cooked through. I never ate any roast turkey that tasted half as good as his sweet fat little behind did.”

Gary Ridgway (born Feb. 18, 1949)

Gary Ridgway, an American serial killer, had been convicted of 49 murders and hence had been noted as the most prolific serial killer of all the time. He started killing young women as his ‘career.’ Most of his victims were prostitutes and vulnerable women. He would pick up a woman, have sexual intercourse with her and then strangle her from behind to death. He would dump all the dead bodies at a place in woods to form a cluster and often come back to have sexual intercourse with the corpses. On asking upon the murders he committed, the devil declaimed:

 

“I don’t believe in man, God nor Devil. I hate the whole damned human race, including myself… I preyed upon the weak, the harmless and the unsuspecting. This lesson I was taught by others: Might makes right.”

Carl Panzram (28 June 1891 – 5 September 1930)

The American homosexual murderer had confessed to killing 21 people and performed 1000 rapes and sodomizes. He would often rob men and rape them to humiliate them viciously.  In a confession to the murder of an 11-year-old boy whom he raped he quoted:

“His brains were coming out of his ears when I left him, and he will never be any deader.”

On asking up on reform, he had confessed:

“I have no desire whatsoever to reform myself. My only desire is to reform people who try to reform me, and I believe the only way to reform people is to kill them. My motto is: Rob ’em all, rape ’em all, and kill ’em all.”

Richard Ramirez (born February 29, 1960 )

From mid-1984 to 1985 the people of southern California were terrorized as a series of brutal murders, burglary and rapes took place at nights. The serial killer dubbed as ‘night stalker’ would invade homes, rape and kill the people who slept inside. A variety of weapons like knives, handguns, hammers was used by Ramirez to stab and beat up the victim to death.

In one of his murder cases, he raped a nine-year-old girl, stabbed her to death, and her body was found in the basement of a hotel, hanging from a pipe.

After his capture he had confessed:

“ I love to kill people. I love watching them die. I would shoot them in the head, and they would wiggle and squirm all over the place, and then just stop. Or I would cut them with a knife and watch their faces turn real white. I love all that blood. I told one lady to give me all her money. She said no. So I cut her and pulled her eyes out.”

Andrei Chikatilo (16 October 1936 – 14 February 1994)

One of the most insane serial killers ever,  Andrei Chikatilo was a rapist and a cannibal who killed 52 people, mostly women. He was a sadistic criminal psychopath who got ‘aroused’  only after seeing his victims suffer. After killing, he would mutilate the dead body, scoop out the eyeballs and eat the intimate parts of the victim. Once he murdered a 17-year-old girl and mutilated the body with a stick and tore one nipple from the body with his teeth. He said it gave him ‘animal pleasure’ to chew or swallow nipples or testicles.

In an interview, he said:

“…the whole thing – the cries, the blood, the agony – gave me relaxation and a certain pleasure.”

Dandupalya Krishna

From  August 1995 to October 1999, a dreadful gang of serial killers terrified the villages of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Krishna, the leader of the infamous Dandupalya gang, was convicted of 42 murder cases. He would attack his victims with a crowbar, rob them and have sexual intercourse with dead bodies.

When being caught, without any guilt Krishna said:

“I liked to hear the last sounds of life draining away. It excited me to hear the gurgling sound that emerges from the throat after I slit it.”

Ted  Bundy (November 24, 1946 – January 24, 1989)

In 1974, young female college students started disappearing at a rate of about one per month in Washington, USA. A serial killer and psychopath with, his charming looks would impersonate someone, approach his victims at public places then brutally murder them at concealed locations. He has confessed to murdering 30-36 victims. After killing women, he would perform necrophilia and do insane activities like sitting by the corpse for hours, shampooing the hair and applying makeup on it. He wasn’t guilty of his deeds said that he was guided by a divine spirit:

“You feel the last bit of breath leaving their body. You’re looking into their eyes. A person in that situation is God!”

In one of his interviews, the most notorious serial killer ever had to say:

“We serial killers are your sons; we are your husbands, we are everywhere. And   there will be more of your children dead tomorrow.”

Ed Gein (August 27, 1906[1] – July 26, 1984)

E.g., Gein is convicted of two murders, but his terrible activities made him one of the most horrible psychopaths ever. He dug up the female corpses from the nearby graveyard and wore their body parts. On investigation at his home, police found body parts everywhere. Police also discovered human noses, vulvae, skulls made into bowls, skin masks, human heads in sacks, lamps and chairs upholstered in human flesh, organs in the refrigerator, and a belt made of human nipples.

Speaking about prison, he said:

“I like this place, everybody treats me nice, some of them are a little crazy though.”

Insane and Scary!

They are psychopaths, and they are serial killers. They are humans, but they are inhumane. They get a life to ‘get a life.’ They can be anywhere. So watch your back!

Notice

This blog is getting a makeover, a HUGE makeover. After putting in a lot of thought into this decision. I’m going to finally get an independent domain and hosting for this blog.
I will make it a point to inform you when the shift finally takes place!

Thank you for believing and having faith in me.

Northern Star

The Northern Star is that one bright little star, little cause you’re looking at it from earth. Maybe while you’re calling it a little star in your mind, it’s looking at you and calling you a bright little human too.
Have you ever thought about that? That humans too are in some way similar to northern stars?
Let’s cut to the chase. The north star is said to help sailors find the direction in cases where their compass stopped working. But you may ask in a sky full of countless stars, how exactly does one find the little northern star. Well for one, the north star is always the brightest star in the sky. It will burn so hard and so bright that it becomes almost impossible to ignore it.
Humans are the same, all of us are in some way or the other little northern stars guiding lost souls to their right direction even without knowing that. Seriously.

 

Okay, think of it this way. Someone found you, your story so inspiring it gave them hope to do something big. Someone liked you so much they wrote pages just on the way your eyes shone in the sun.
When you give others a direction, a way to live. You become a north star. The brightest northern star in a sky filled with million different stars.

Yes, the north star faces hate too. I mean who doesn’t? There are dark clouds, and they don’t like the things that burn too bright and let others see paths in their light. The dark clouds are dark and angry. Almost like grumpy old people, dissatisfied with life always hoping to rain on one good parade. That’s just who they are. They are passionate, oh yes they are. But passion in them takes a debased form. Remember the times when you hid under the sheets because there were thunders outside. Well, dark clouds need to show their light somehow right? While they envy the north star for guiding people, they cry in a very public manner because their light does more harm than good.
Dark clouds can be humans too. Humans who don’t necessarily want people to shine to their fullest. But their shows are temporary, and before you know it, the northern star looks down upon you smiling.

While dark clouds and northern stars have their own place in the sky, their human counterparts too have their own place down here. While they may or may not always meet, but one thing is for sure. Both of them will create a light show worth all your time.
Are you a dark cloud or a northern star? I’ll leave that up to you.

Street Lights

The city sleeps, but I walk.
I notice everything, but I never speak.

Not a single soul to be see in this dark cold world,
But I have a warmth that keeps me going.
I see a girl, long blonde hair
Flowing in the summer breeze, not a care in this world.

I see a boy, writing words, creating stories, making images of words.
It’s 2AM and he still doesn’t sleep,
The dreams that keeps him awake, gives me sleepless nights too.

Lovers swaying, dreamers dreaming , in a city that never rests,
In a city that never sleeps, images are painted on blank canvases, memories made.

There is something about the city that never sleeps it seems,
It makes you want to be a better man,
It makes you want to dream a little bigger.
In a city that never sleeps, I am but just an observer.

The street lights shine my way, through the city I walk in
The city that sleeps, as I walk.
I notice everything, but I never speak.

Lets begin:

1. When you wake up every morning, what makes you believe it will be a good day? What completes your day? When are you planning on coming to ghy? Do u still stay up late?  Preetam Raaj

Answer:wp-1487606583513.jpg

Hello there, curious cat. Okay *breathes*

First of, mornings are not my friend. I snooze 10 times through the alarms and still miss my commute to college. My parents will throw stuff at me until I either wake up completely or die. So basically, when the above situations are all false and I do wake up on time, and certain messages from a certain someone, adds the perfect topping on my day.

Food. Hands down, it’s food. If i could I would sleep on packets of food all day. ❤
Foodbaeeeee!

Guwahati is home, I can come there tonight, tomorrow anytime, any day. B)

The longest I’ve been up is uptill 4am, reading buzzfeed 5 months ago. :3

There! You’re all set.

3. What’s your favorite song and fav fictional character? Malisha Dutta

Being a 90’s kid, this is probably my favorite song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZYGzkKMcRU

As for fictional characters, there’s only one that fictional character who never left my mind: OLIVER, from Off The Pages. ❤

4. Do you think that Hanna Barbera set the bars for children’s animation in 1957? Ritam Mukherjee

*drops a bomb*

*Hanna Barbera did not set the bars of the children animation. I feel this statement is highly overrated. Leon Schesinger is a much better example of a pioneer of the animation industry. I’m not saying Hanna Barbera was bad or anything. It’s just that animation started way back starting something new is the big thing. If you see few years down the line, Hayao Miyazaki started a way. The animation was never depicted, but then it’s all just my personal opinion.*

5.  Is Chotta Bheem really Rahul Gandhi’s favourite carton, I am saying he is more of a Ben 10 guy. Abhi Nash

I refrain from talking about any political characters, no matter how much I’d like to.

rahul-bheem

Bail me if I get sent to jail. :/

6. When are you coming to guwahati? When is Masked 2.0 coming? How do you tackle the urge to pause writing and watch one more episode of that one more series? Your recent food favorite? (This came as a message) Anonymous

 Tell your mommy to start cooking butter chicken, I will sell my kidneys and fly to you. ❤ :*

MASKED 2.0. *awkward silence*

I have two eyes, so I keep one eye on writing and one eye on the episode, taking multitasking to a whole new level. ❤

Recent food favorite:

I live, breathe and eat DORITOS.

d3f08b89b09323868842d6701accaf40

I did not fantasize about you. But I’m sure we have dreams about each other a lot. :*
I miss you 😦

 

So this kinda wraps it up, for now. I’m sorry if I missed any question. If i did give me a nudge and I’ll add them here. You have been real sporty and I’m sorry it took so long to put up!
You’re the best! I love ya’ll. ❤
