Pain

Today, I was watching a video called HAPPINESS where every single person is a rat running behind Happiness. Every single company's advertisement is mentioned as Happiness. Well, that's true. All the companies are basically selling us happiness. So, we (rats) drink soft drinks mentioned as happiness, buy everything mentioned as happiness, drive happiness, eat happiness, get sick on the way and take medication for happiness. So, of course, pain is inevitable. But,  How much? How do we embrace the very thing we hate?

One day, I and my friend were discussing the reason for some having more pain and some having it less. We have concluded to a point that it is not the pain but is related to how happy you are. As per our old saying, "The more you laugh now, the more you cry later." The pace of events is mostly the same for everyone around us. But the happier ones will get hit more due to an undetectable event, and the graph just goes into negative more. This might be the reason that ll our ethics have taught us to have all our emotions in check, which also includes happiness. But, how to embrace the pain?

All that depends on every individual. As per our old saying, "Expect the best. Plan for the worst" might work for everyone. But, planning for the worst in every situation might make you pessimistic is what some might say. True. Still, I would like to be aware of the Half-empty glass before getting hit by it. Being extremely optimistic means we remove the worst-case scenario from our equation. So, though you feel it's counter-productive, be pessimistic while planning to some extent.

Levels of pain also differ from generation to generation, discussing that would be a mess for me at least for now. I might not have answered everyone's problem, but these are some basic steps I follow in every aspect. Have a second thought!

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

THE Journey

Lets read a story You with two of your friends who stay at Bangalore planned for a trip to Coorg. You have been planning it for a really long time, but schedules weren't supporting. At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited. After travelling one third of the distance, it started drizzling. Halfway point, it is raining now. Three of you have no thought of returning. You will complete this trip at any cost. You reach the destination and it's raining heavily. Took a room in a hotel, slept for the night. As you woke up in the morning, it is a thunderstorm out there. Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
