Feelings- the Real Villian?

-

‘I really do hate feelings.’

Well, I never thought I would say something like that but I just realised that it was true for me as well. The following explains why you should hate them, too.

One of my only friends is a big-time pessimist, thus staying near her for long drives me- anyone, for that matter- nuts. When the first semester was about to end at Sahyadri, she says to me, ‘Dude, I seriously hate feelings. They’re so annoying. I mean, what’s so great about the term ending or beginning? I hate these end-of-term vibes everyone’s giving off.’

At that time, I gave her an incredulous look. Seriously, who didn’t like going back home? And feelings? Aren’t they exactly what make us human? What’s the point in living without them? We might as well be computers without them.

But now, when the Diwali vacations have come to an end and I must leave home and internet for Sahyadri, I don’t think I’ve hated anything as much as feelings. I wish I was some cold-hearted person instead of this sensitive one I am.

Feelings... They’re so unnecessary. It makes humans so extra and overdramatic about everything. I’m sorry if I offend anyone while saying this, but humans would be better off without feelings.

Actually, it’s our fault that these feelings even exist. We think that we’re happy, or sad, or in love, or guilty, or offended, or unsatisfied. We could plainly just accept everything that's happening if these feeling didn’t exist and wouldn’t that make everything so much better?

I don’t know really, but I just don’t like these feelings anymore. I don’t want to acknowledge them anymore even if they continue to annoy me with their abundance. They are unavoidable, after all.

The heartbreaks, the butterflies, the regrets, the great lumps in your throat. Oh, man, without them life would hardly be the roller coaster it is. In fact, if we were to personify the situation, feelings would be the cruel villain trying to frame the innocent victim- life.

I guess, that pretty much sums up my hatred for feelings?

Oh wait, hatred is but a feeling, too..

DAMN.

When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore

A BOOK REVIEW: This story explains that you always don't get what you wish for, and if you do there can be many complications. It explains one of the most important part of  our life. It tells us that our childhood is something we should enjoy to its fullest, for time never turns back. The story has two protagonists so it isn’t exactly possible to hate anyone. Tagore begins by saying that namesakes aren’t always true- a reference to Subal and Sushi, ad their paradoxical attitudes. As they make their wishes they are granted, too. But as said in the preamble there were too many complications. This book actually was a reconciliation of four stories and I liked this story the best. Its author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a well known poet, laureate, artist and philosopher- he wrote elegant prose and magical poetry. His stories are quite sensitive, fresh and beautiful.

Stages of a Stressful Homework

HOMEWORK- SHOULD IT BE BANNED: PART II After coming to a conclusion that homework can be worthwhile as well as another thing for the students to sweat about, this post illuminates the stages a student goes through when completing a homework- before, during and after. Before receiving a bundle of homework the students, generally, are seen trying to enjoy the last minutes of their freedom and sovereignty. Once having obtained homework from one subject, they try to prepare themselves for the upcoming war. By the end of school, they are already analyzing how much of their play time will be compromised in trying to complete the homework. Even though, some humane teachers don’t ask for the submission of the homework the following day straightaway, but majority of the students prefer completing the homework beforehand due to their own explicit reasons, one of which being the fact that teachers give extra marks to those who submit homework and assignments before the deadline. The s...

The Story of All Parents.

Note to my dearest parents: Happy birthday! I am sorry I cannot give a better gift to you than a mere blog post- but words are the only gifts that can even come close to explain how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. I hope you understand. Parents. They are the only people in the universe who give you every single thing in the world and never ask for it back. They let you dwell on your dreams and keep the problems faced during the course of accomplishing it to themselves. They will always let you think that everything is alright even when they are under more pressure than they can handle. Parents will do anything to shield you from your fears and enemies but yet won’t be afraid to tell you to stop when you walk into the wrong direction. They act like a compass- it shows you the right direction flawlessly unless there is too much of magnetic force. Similarly, parents can tell you what to do and what not to, but once you start to take into account- the...
