Time with people

Hey readers!
We live for a span
We have 365 days a year
50 odd weeks
Thousand of hours to deal with
Then we have some 50 odd people usually around
And yes 24 hours a day
out of which if you have all life processes going normal
then you will be sleeping 5-8 hours a day
Then 2-3 for the ESSENTIALS  like eating and all personal stuff
you 'll be left with 12 hours a day
Then if you are employed or a student
then 6 hours a day you can do nothing
but listen to your teacher or employer
and talk to your colleague in midst of it .
you can have 3-4 colleagues of such sought
Then while travelling you are more likely to talk to 2-3 people along
Then family , 4 members atleast?
Oh how could I forget the media ?
One can communicate with millions
by means of youtube, blog , facebook , twitter etc?
Then??? Whatsay?

Singledom

Being single is so free,
So lovely,
and
So lucky…that it has its own charm!
Do not rush in to getting married.. or even committed.
Even if folks and peers ask you,
Just tell them,
Everything has its own charm ...
You can't always smile when you are paired up or in a relationship.
Every lust has its own expiry date.
you see
Don't give up a thing just because you are bored up or lonely , the world and life has millions of things to engage you ...
Talk , read , blog , dance , counsel , go crafting , designing ... or just listen ?
Their are millions who just want people to listen to me, but its speak n speak n tell era...
Boredom and loneliness is only when you are jobless, out of something materialistic.
P.S. no break up or makeup story , just an opinion.
ENJOY SINGLEDOM!
Regards
have a nice day

Professionalism

Hello !

Topic for today - Does profession come in between your hobbies and interests ?

The other day I had a random discussion with my friend , the discussion was about a blog. I went on saying that a blogger from Pakistan whose blog I didnt like much .She was more diplomatic and thats how a blogger should be . But then I felt that once you begin to bother about diplomacy you egin to loose your spirit , your freedom to communicate . We live in a world where we have a right to speech , a right to bring up an opinion. Well, all this stuff aside. She was very regular when it came to blogging.My buddy justified her being an arts student a reason for her diplomacy and regularity .

Because students from non professional courses are left with more time at the end of the day to spend to write , to talk , to enjoy , to move about . Well , this is no justifiation actually . But , the society has got an outlook that people in professional courses are ALWAYS studying , working .

This generation I think is ultra swift to go multi tasking ! We sing , we dance  , we work , we cook , we chat , fb , tweet , blog, move around , rest and yes a day before the exam study to an extent that we are into inventing things that were only thought to be existing in the universe . Discovering various aspects of life in a quite unconventional way though .

At the end of the day professionalism to the maximum drags your OTHER activities and interest by 10 % . Well , thats what "I" think!

What most of us feel

Sometimes you hate everybody around you. Sometimes everything people do begins to annoy you. Probably because you are just not comfortable with them around. Spending time alone in your room and staring at the walls feels much better than talking to people. All this happens when you are disturbed about something.
But hey! That is completely normal . Everybody goes through this phase someday. You just need to talk to someone about it. Tell them how you feel. Ask them not to give you advices but JUST listen to you. This helps a lot. My mom is the person I talk to when I am disturbed. I talk to Maria about it when mom is not around. Of course! What are best friends for, anyway? :p Hahah :p Talking about something that's disturbing you makes you feel much lighter. Things go wrong. Things go the way they are not supposed to. But we can't help it. Sometimes, you are put down in front of people even if it's not your fault. Sometimes, people dont trust you. Similar thing happened with Noor. Noor was a Sophomore student. She was good at studies and a little out-going student. She enjoyed her life to the fullest. She knows life is much more than just studies. She was very polite to people. A happy-go-lucky kinda girl. There was this lecturer who didnt like her(Even though she was good at studies). That one lecturer tortured her for an entire year. Now when she is in Second year, ALL the teachers hate her just because of THAT ONE LECTURER. Even if she did her work and assignments and experiments properly, they scolded her and her groupmates  for no reason. This made her feel low. Too low. She thought of giving up. She knew whatever happens, those lecturers will never like her. Noor always tried her best to impress the lecturers but they always gave her THAT dirty look and made her feel like she is good for nothing. She always thought lecturers should understand her and give her one last chance to prove herself. But teachera are teachers. You know how Indian teachers are, right? Always supporting the "CHATUR" of the class and against the "RANCHO" (You'll get this if you've watched 3 idiots ;p )  . They want the RATTU TOTE (parrot) in the class :p
And here, first impression is the last impression. Noor took a little more time than the rest of her classmates to do the experiment. Her lecturer got too angry. Noor took so long cz she wanted to get the MOST accurate values. But the lecturers yelled at her for being a few minutes late. She thought Noor was a very spoilt girl and that she was doing gossip there. But Noor was discussing about the calculations with her groupmates. She fwlt really dishearted. All her hardwork was given a name of "GOSSIP". She felt like never attending the college again. This is what happens when teachers are mean to students.
                                             Honestly, students don't like studying for those subjects whose lecturers are not good to them. Students love to work hard for their favourite teacher's subject. I know this post wont change the lecturers or the system but this is what Noor felt. A lecturer should maintain his/her dignity and shouldn't act like kids when they are in a professional course. This one little incident ruined her entire day. She didn't talk to anybody at home. All because of the people who dont value such gems. She knows she can do it but all she needs is a little encouragement. A little push. Nobody wants to be with people who understimates them. People love to be with someone who can encourage them in doimg good things. So whenever you need somebody to talk to, go ahead and talk yourself out. Tell them what you feel. Cz once you tell them bout your feelings, you will feel much, MUCH lighter. :)

Fruit Diet- For those obsessed to loose weight

Sophomore obsession # 007
I need to loose weight!
The obese , the thin , the fat and the normal, irrespective of the sizes everybody is in the fad to look slim...

One question that I am commonly receiving from the very first day is: Please suggest me a diet plan. Actually, there is no one common diet plan for everyone. In fact Diet plan is subjective to everyone and it is made as per individual’s activity level, metabolic rate, family’s eating pattern, geographical location, taste preferences and various other factors. However, technically I can explain you few factors with the help of which you can yourself plan an effective diet plan for weight management.

Fruits ...

 

Fruits are definitely a priceless gift of nature to mankind. With the wide variety of fruits available in different flavors , we all can make a choice depending on individual taste, but whatever you choose will surely give you benefits which no other food item on this earth can give you. 

Please note that am not an expert in diets and those who feel that you should start a diet program after consulting a doctor may please go ahead and try it after clearing your doubts with a professional.

Step by step Fruit Diet Plan: 

 

• Be mentally prepared for the diet, once you start off, and is able to successfully take it through 3 days, you can easily extend the period to 7 days or even more.
• Decide for how long you are planning to be on a fruit diet and stick on to the schedule without any compromise. If you are planning to take a 7 day diet try to do the same every month which can give you tremendous long lasting benefits.
• Choose good fruits – Remember, your fruit diet will only be as good as the fruit you’re eating, not just in nutrition but also in eating pleasure. Spend a little more on good quality fruit, even if you have to search for a different store that specializes in top-quality produce. 
• Try to eat what’s in season. 
• Fruits high in vitamin C and citric acid are powerful detoxifiers .
  
  
  
  

  Eat these ...

  • Papaya – A rich source of Minerals and Fiber : Papaya has high nutritional benefits. It is rich in Anti-oxidants, Minerals and Fiber.
  • Apples – Rich in vitamins and help to reduce risks of colon cancer, prostrate cancer and lung cancer.

On certain nightsmunch on some fruit of my choice like Kiwi, or strawberries (based on availability) if too hungry just before sleep. As suchnever stick on to any hard and fast rule in picking the fruit and have lime juice with salt whenever feel low while at office and an occasional fruit salad with honey.

• Some Tips for Fruit Diet

• For the first three days, eat as much fruit as you desire. Eating as much as you want will help curb the temptation to quit, which is strongest in the beginning, due to dealing with cravings and hunger.
• As a norm, begin your day with a large portion of higher-calorie fruit like bananas, grapes or mangoes.  This will elevate your metabolism for the whole day, sustaining good energy and fat-burning capabilities. On more active days, eat a greater amount of fruit.  If you have a day of leisure, then cut back.
• I was on a 5 days fruit diet this month and I chose the following fruits, remember this is just an example and you have full liberty to choose whatever you like and are easily available at your place, of course in comfortable serving sizes.

•   COMPLICATIONS

  

   

  Due to the cleansing effect of fruit and the subsequent release of toxins, your tongue will become coated, your breath foul, and you may experience times of weakness or diarrhea.
  Also extended periods of fruit diet is not advisable since over time there will be a loss of muscle strength.
  Even more important is the loss of nutrients offered from a wide spectrum of foods, like fish, whole grains and vegetable foods, to mention only a few.
  Fruit diet is lower in calories than juice fasting, hence resulting in a deeper detoxification.
  Also, unlike juice or water fasting, the digestive system does not shut down. This means there is no drop in metabolism as is the case with fasting, where the body is forced into a low-metabolism state to conserve energy resources.
  An uncompromised metabolism plus a lower calorie intake equals detoxification and safe weight loss. A fruit diet is carried out for a limited period of time to allow the body to detoxify and cleanse while flooding every cell with a clean source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and the end results are glowing skin, toxin free body, high energy levels and many more.
  
  
  
  
  
  

   

 

 

Sophomore = SUFFERmore?

I initially thought the thing is too early to be posted on our blog. But this equation kept nailing mercilessly at my freaky head and yes, my head couldn’t stop rambling over this.

Now before diving my head first into resolving this DEBATE, I would like my lovely readers to leave their consent what they think about this. How true the notion sophomore equates suffermore?

Does the equation balance?

Or is it that I'm over-rating this?

When this thing occurred to me, I thought suffering not just academics alone but also in regards to hormonal pump up plus the sophomore blues! 

Dont you get pounded with lots of homework?  Dont the Practical tests suck?

While some sophomores combat single-handedly with the emotions, apprehensions and tensions at various levels such as at college, home and social out-dos. I think its fair enough to group it with sufferings.

With regards to hormonal gears ups, I tell you, the sophomores belonging to the fag end of their teens as well as post teens are over-anxious, O.A (over action) doers, who rather indulge themselves in show off business and later suffer from morose and low feelings just because they over-did something in front of all. I link all these with hormonal gear ups, as I myself is a pschycology-science gunner!

Now when it comes to the so over-rated sophomore blues, I think you must be very familiar with this suffering. If you aren't, here's my description for this. Sophomore blues is that depressing moment when you’re back home and you’ve got nothing to do. I'm sure, you agree this at one hear! 

You think you suffer less when you go to second year? If you think so you are wrong! I'm going to top up my post with only sufferings, just to support my ramble and writing! Defend me? I bet you hardly can! Because I being just-stepped-into-sophomore-year have had to bear these bearings! Its just a sequel to my confessions as a sophomore. 

Till next time!

# 1 :17years and still stalking

In today's day and age, it's not unusual to joke around on Facebook about stalking a paramour, and for the most part, casual cyber-stalking is a harmless pursuit. However, there is a line, and certain individuals who may be mentally unbalanced can become fixated on others, often sensing a connection between themselves and the object of their affection which does not actually exist.

Ludeen and Moul

One day in 1994, Tracy Lundeen opened her heart to a socially awkward loner while attending middle school in Renton, Wash. Little did she know her act of kindness would set in motion a nearly two-decade-long campaign of fear and harassment that has changed her life forever.

Lundeen was just 13 when she offered to help schoolmate Shawn Moul after seeing him struggle with his class work in the McKnight Middle School library. Moul began following Lundeen around as they moved onto high school — a problem that became so pronounced he was expelled for stalking her.

But that was only the beginning. Over the years, Moul harassed Lundeen and her family members through repeated phone calls and more than 100 letters.  Even an eight-year prison sentence beginning in 2001 failed to end Moul's obsession with Lundeen — he found ways to get letters to her from his cell, and six months after his 2009 release, he was at it again.

Today Moul is locked away again; on Jan. 24, he was sentenced to a 26 1/2-year prison term that prosecutors called the longest stalking sentence in memory. But is still does little to give Lundeen piece of mind.

"Unfortunately, I don't think it's over," Lundeen, now 32, told Matt Lauer live on TODAY Tuesday. "He won't stop."

Decades-long ordeal Lundeen's case has shined a new light on the U.S. stalking laws, which permit a near-stranger to continue a course of harassment and threats despite a family taking every step the law allows to thwart it. Even now, with Moul serving a long prison sentence, Lundeen's mother told NBC News: "It's not realistically going to be over until one of them passes away."

Over the years, Lundeen has consistently tried to keep Moul from contacting her: She keeps her home address secret, has her mail delivered to a post office box, and has tight privacy controls on her Internet presence.
