Needle in a Haystack

As, every story has a beginning here we are at the genesis of our own adventure. Wow, you seem to be listening to me but you haven't even asked me who I am. Of-course, I am the narrator. I have the right to talk whatever I can, but then again I am here to introduce you to a lowly human, who is the epitome of mediocrity. This person named, "Zionax" is not someone I like. Most narrators describe their character in a way that appeals to the readers, then again this one is not someone I like. This is that kind of person, with whom you are stuck and hence you need to put up with the qualities of him you dislike. If you ask me, I do not know when he came into my life, but for sure he had all the virtues I never wanted. I wanted to be calm, he was furious. I wanted to go through everything planned, he wanted to go with the Adrenaline.

However mediocre you are, you definitely begin some place same. Education starts for most people in INDIA at age 3 and ends around 18, however Zionax understood that it was a never ending process. Hence, instead of waiting for it to get over, he started enjoying what he was doing. That was the moment, Zionax made more sense to me than myself. I had been waiting all my life looking forward to monotonous deadlines, but this attitude in this mediocre personality had refined my viewpoint, I had learnt to extend my horizon beyond deadlines. I started dreaming again. Under the pressure to perform, pressure to move ahead of others I had somehow learned to live the moment, dream the future and learn from the past. That was the point in my life, I realized the importance of Zionax.

"Do what you enjoy, or even better Enjoy what you do..."

Personal Space : The Enigma of modern relationships

Out of the many virtues we learn in life, one of prime importance is dealing with the personal space of people around you. It is important to know as well as respect the personal space of your peers. Sometimes, we fail to estimate the personal space of a person which leads to a catastrophic collapse of understanding between the two individuals. Enough prologue, let's understand the concept of personal space technically. First, let us define every person as an entity, and each entity has its own priority sequence for various material aspects in life, like food might be on top of someone's priority, for someone else sleep might be on top of priority list.  An entity in center with different priorities at random length around it Imagine the black circle as a person and the different colored ring represents different priorities. For every person, the colors of the consecutive circles will form different sequences, as well as the distance between...

The Valiant Venture to Varkala

I woke at an unusual hour, when the day was still cold, when the entirety of the hostel was still aloof in dreamland. I had looked forward to this "waking" up for long. An amazing day was indeed ahead of this abrupt intermission of my sleep cycle. At around 7:30 AM, we ( Adithya , Anuj , Anurag , Avinash, Greeshma , Kaninika , Manasvi , & Rohit ) started on an exquisite journey, to Varkala . We were students of Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology , which is located 28 km away from the frivolous city of Thiruvananthapuram. The first phase of onward journey was from college to station, which we was supposed to be a piece of cake, however we faced a minor setback when one of us suffering from motion sickness threw up, owing to the reckless bends in the road, which often is a consequence of hilly terrain. However, the person recovered and came out stronger. We reached Palayam, and had a thrifty breakfast at a vegetarian restaurant. We discussed the next pha...

The Prelude to Courage

By -
I have countless memories of my mother pulling me into her lap, regaling me with stories about heroic men; men who found the inner strength to overcome their fears, battled their demons and went on to achieve great feats. Fables of valiant men not only exist in all cultures, but are often an integral part of cultural traditions. So why are these folklore such an intrinsic part of our lives? Most would say that they give us inspiration to soldier on when one is afraid of what lies ahead. I don’t disagree, but this answer paints fear in a very unflattering manner. If fear is such a negative emotion, as indicated in our lore, then why did fear emerge as an emotion in any sentient being at all? The answer is obvious once you give the question a little thought. There is no courage without fear . Fear is the greatest motivator in the universe. Granted, it isn’t a healthy emotion always, and like all the other emotions, it is multi-faceted. But today, I decided to don my optimism like a c...
