I will not stand this.

After all the observing, thinking and judging I have come to the conclusion that I will start writing a series of related posts about the very unwanted, vindictive phenomenon of prejudice. It is a word we all have read of, heard of, maybe experienced, but somehow, it has, indeed touched us all. We all have prejudices. Prejudices are there, silent, immovable. That is what makes it so dangerous and thus, it more important to be talked about and to be understood about. I will be writing about different prejudices I have noticed and CANNOT BEAR TO BE A BYSTANDER OF.

Prejudice is necessary to be spoken about not only because you and me feel strongly about it. Prejudice can hurt someone so deeply it can utterly spoil their life; this is the stark truth. Prejudice is why so many innocent girl children are killed post-birth, so many animals are victims of unsuccessful experiments, so many ‘differently’ sexually- oriented people are living in fear and so many fat people are bullied. So much prejudice there is in this world, it sickens me. I, myself, disgust me. The instantaneous thoughts that pop up into your head every time you see someone and how you can’t control them or your reactions to them- is very, very shameful, indeed.

Prejudice is a life-destroying, hope-ripping and smile-snatching monster which will not ever relent once you’ve given it the strength to control your actions and we must do something about it because this is not just about us anymore; it’s about precious lives and innocent dreams. We can not let something so lowly and dumb to overtake our thought process. It is high time we think about our mindsets and why we don’t let certain people, too, live like they deserve to.

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...
