DEPRESSION "दबे पाउ आकर बेठ जाता है,  हमारे अन्दर ... चलो उसको जाने, पहचाने... जरा सा भी कुछ सहि ना लागे, तो देखे दोबारा, सम्झे दोबारा" I am myself a victim of depression, a chronice and periodic one. It is not always. But there are times, I have no control of what I am feeling. Am I an expert in this? NO! But writing helps me not have that phase. And that's why I want to write about this as well. BEING ALERT HELPS A LOT. Being alert that you might be actually a victim of depression helps. Here's how Deepika Padukone (yes, the superstar) talks about how she felt about her phase. "I felt empty; directionless. I didn't know where to go, what to do. My mind stopped talking to me. I felt a pit in my stomach. I kept crying. I didn't know what was wrong. I often locked myself up and cried. I lost my appetite. Sometimes being out and around people helped. Sometimes, it didn't. When I was out and about and with people, I felt ok. When I wa

via  Interesting Info  These are some cool psychological hacks that will help you to improve the outcome of any social situation. #1. If you want to know about something from someone  , ask them a question and when they are done answering , keep silent and maintain an eye contact. They will tell you some more stuff, almost everything. #2. When you try to convince someone over something , make sure they are sitting and you are standing. This makes them believe you sooner. #3. The key to confidence  is walking into a room and assume that everyone already likes you. #4. Refer to people you’ve just met by their name.  People love being referred to by their name and it will establish a sense of trust and friendship right away. Example: “Nice to meet you Alex. So, Alex how do you know John?” And continue to repeat name throughout the conversation. #5. If someone is attracted to you , their eyes start blinking more than usual during a conversation with you. #6.

“Why don’t you shave?” “Why do you keep beard?” “Are you trying to look cool? It looks like the latest trend.” “At least, trim a little.” I get this quite a lot; from strangers, from people who haven't seen me for a long time, usually those people who care more about the disgusting facial hair on my face rather than me. Should there be any reason not to shave? If I can just pretend like there is no hair on my face and just let it go, why can’t you? Seriously, why do you care much about the beard? I know it looks disgusting, but is it hurting you? Is it hiding your way to a beautiful scenery or something? Guys, what if I ask you, “Why do you shave?” Girls, what if I ask you, “Why do you wear that revealing top?” Relatives, what if I ask you… well, leave it. I don’t even fucking care about you. Yes, exactly. I get irritated too. I don’t complain, though. If you had known through me, the ‘me’ behind the beard, you wouldn’t even ask. Behind the beard, is a

Selfishness  is being concerned excessively or exclusively, for oneself or one's own advantage, pleasure, or welfare, regardless of others. [1] [2] Selfishness is the opposite of   altruism   or selflessness  via Wikipedia  You are SELFISH Have you said this to anyone? Have you ever felt like someone is being selfish to you? I am sure we all have felt it. Ok, let's look it at the other way. When you call some 'selfish', it is because he/she didn't do/agree that you were expecting, he/she did something that he/she liked but you didn't. So, who is the selfish one?  See? You feel like someone is being selfish because he/she didn't care about your own selfish desires. If he/she does what you want, you are happy. There is no better person than him/her. But, when he/she doesn't - "You are so selfish." One way or the other, everyone is selfish. Next time you feel like someone is being selfish to you, think about it

Have you ever had an urge?  The urge to jump off a cliff while you were hiking with your friends? The urge to jump off a cliff with your bike while you riding back home? The urge to go straight against a big truck and smash your bike or a car? The urge to jump off a bridge into the river while you were just crossing the bridge to reach your home? The urge to stab yourself with a knife while you were just cutting vegetables? The urge to take some more of those sleeping pills while you were taking just one because you were insomniac? The urge to jump off your home while you were just hanging your clothes to dry? The urge to jump off a tall mall while you were there just for buying a shirt? The urge to cut your nerves with that paper cutter you were using just to cut the paper for a project? If your answer is NO, then you have NO RIGHTS to put your opinions on 'What life is'. You have no rights to tell me, "Don't you have a purpose in your life? Don't you lov

Dear Future Wife , I want to wake up before you and make coffee for you. Yes, every day. I will bring the coffee on our bed, wake you up with a morning kiss on your forehead. Well, you know me. I won’t stop there. I will kiss your cheeks, your eyes, your lips and give a peck on the neck. I will try to stop myself for a moment, while you finish your coffee. I want to hug you from behind and keep kissing you, kiss your neck, bite you gently, while you make breakfast for us. I want to feel the warmth of your skin in this cold morning. We both know we are hungry, but for love. I will caress your hair, keep my arms around your waist, slowly slithering my hands inside the t-shirt (you wear my t-shirt every night), trying to feel your navel. You know how much I love your navel. :* The breakfast’s almost done. I turn off the stove. I turn you around. I kiss your neck, your cheeks, kiss your lips. It’s been just an hour since we kissed. But I will kiss you like it has been ages

Dear Future wife , We got my only sister married yesterday. These past 4 days had been very tough for me. Did I work very hard and got tired? Oh no! My parents, uncle, relatives and neighbors did everything. I did nothing. Yes, seriously. Then how was it tough for me? Lots of people coming in, listening to them talking about very unimportant things (in my perspective) was tough, really. I sat for just an hour and my stomach started burning. I couldn’t understand WHY this needs to be done in such a fashion. Why do we need to impress the groom’s side? Why does everything need to be perfect? Why all the apples that we send as ‘sagun’ needs to be pretty red, equal sized? Why the red wrapping needs to be seamless? Why does the ‘sel-roti’ needs to be a perfect circle? Will the groom deny my sister if one of the apples is yellow? Lots of stupid things I went through during the wedding. I can’t remember whole lot of them. Every time I listened to something cra

GEMINI via  TheZodiacGuide   In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives! In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about

Hike to Ghandruk *The trip was made from Kathmandu to Pokhara, then a hike to Ghandruk. ( Jan 20 - 23 , 2016) Difficulty: Medium Total time: 2 hrs bus ride + 5 hrs walk (for amateur hikers) Trail type: Accommodation available? : Yes Accommodation type: Ranging from to luxurious guest houses to homestay (still clean and livable) It is a very short hike, so you could plan your visit to Ghandruk accordingly. You could either spend a night at Pokhara first and then hike to Ghandruk the next day or hike to Ghandruk on the very first day. Well, we did the former one. You can take a bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Available buses are local bus (approx. Rs 300), Tourist bus (Rs. 600+), a Micro bus (Rs. 500). If you hate travelling in an overcrowded bus, full of noisy people, local bus is not for you. You could try a Tourist bus or a Micro bus. Both of them are comfortable. Tourist bus is filled with fancy people while Micro bus might have some local people. Tourist bus dri

Why some of us don't have one true calling? Image:  jsinocruz Early morning today, I checked my phone to see if there were any calls or texts (like always). Usually, I don't have any of these - Forever Alone - There was a text today however. It was from Eva, my co-fellow at Teach for Nepal . The text read as, Since ur so damn over talented and equally confused u might lik tis - ted talks - emilie wapnick why some of us dont have one true calling She always teases me for trying out different things. At first I was annoyed, but took it easy. I was used to it. After having my breakfast, I checked out the Ted talk that she mentioned. Now I have to be thankful that she shared this with me. :) I got emotional listening to the talk. And as I am an emotional ass, I shed some tears too. :') *** I could relate myself to the talk. I don't have that ONE TRUE CALLING. I don't know what I want to do in my life. My two years are with Teach for Ne
