Privacy

I did talk about loneliness a while ago, and I've thought that being lonely is being private for a really long time. Slowly, these two split into two categories. Let's talk about what privacy is and how to embrace it.

Privacy defines itself. Being private. Does that mean you don't share your thoughts publicly. Well, to some extent. We all have a public life and a private life. Public life to collaborate on your thoughts and actions with everyone around you. Private life to work on your thoughts by yourself. As I've already said, we have our own individual consciousness to process stuff by ourselves if needed. So, not being public doesn't mean you are lonely. It's just that you like to analyze on your own at times and that of course leads to better cognitive ability in the longer run. But, what does it mean to give people their own private space?

We all have seen people asking us to share everything so that they can help us if needed. We ourselves do it to others. That's sympathy of human nature. One step higher is empathy. Every one of us would like to keep couple of things to ourselves. That's absolutely fine. And when one of your friends is unable to share those secrets or thoughts, that's fine too. Pushing your friend to spill everything out is only going to cause more problems. Instead, hold it and sit quiet. Sit beside your friend silently. We all need a presence of life around us to heal and become stronger. This at least gives your friend some confidence and boot to get out of their problem subconsciously.

So, next time you see a person in distress and is unable to express their thoughts/feelings, sit beside them. That slowly erases the tension and brings up the smile. Try it! Works all the time.

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...

Spend Wisely

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, ...
