Never get attached to anyone

This may sound like a load of bull crap to you or maybe it'll even look like a some teenager who's cribbing about His last  relationship breakup. I'm just jotting out the thoughts or lessons which I've learnt from my past experiences here.  It may even help you if you can apply in your life.  
Never get attached to anyone.

I, sometimes feel pity for the people who deliberately let their happiness be dependent on some other person, feeling happy is not a choice anymore but a necessity, you have to strive hard to make yourself comfortable, it’s sort of a commitment that you have to fulfill daily.

“No attachment” to any person whatsoever is the key to emotional strength and happiness; there is no one, I repeat, no one worthy enough to affect you internally.

Unattachment and indifference will always make you stable and better will-powered. A person who can control his emotions at his will, i.e., having the remote to switch his feelings on and off is the strongest and the calmest person you would find around you, similar to the tree which has the deepest roots gets least effected in a storm.

Also, one has to understand that everyone around you is temporary and is bound to get away from you in the future (maybe except parents), so why to get attached and regret later, a counter-question can be thrown that “attachment is necessary because as human beings, we need partners, close people to share everything.”

To this, I would clarify that I didn’t mean to be socially introvert all your life and not build connections, hell no, in fact, in reality, it’s precisely the opposite for having a successful corporate career (I learned it quite late), what I mean is build networks, have close friends but don’t get emotionally dependent on them for your well-being, one should be hard enough to have an underlying feeling of the possibility of them suddenly disappearing or not being available in your life, this will make you immensely composed and emotionally-independent.

Why there's no prom in Indian schools?

First of all , let's see what's prom is .  A prom is a ball or formal dance at a school or college, especially one held at the end of the academic year for students who are in their final year, the sophomores. And it has students bringing dates along with them. Boys and girls in school are supposed to ask each other out to be there prom partners. (Do you think any Indian parent will allow two people of opposite gender to be this close to each other?) This is what happened when this seemingly inappropriate posters of a telugu film called arjun reddy released  Look at how the so called cultural saviors are vandalizing  the public property just because that poster is a threat to their glorious culture (sarcasm). Now, as to why there is no prom concept in India? The reason is-: Most of the people in India are very conservative and talking and hanging out with opposite sex is generally looked down upon by the society it is said to cause distractions...

Rant (1)

  I stumbled onto this girl's profile, her bio read:   “Don't text me if you're not 6′1”   Her Display picture? The closest I could find in two minutes:                                                              Just a random pretty girl adding her personal preferences for dating in her bio, totally common and nothing problematic.   Now flip the coin.   A boy goes on to add,   “Hit me up when your waistline hits 24 inches.”   I need not even explain on what kind of reaction that guy will receive from others. Your mind would've also thought of the type of comments he may get.   When it's very much practical and controllable...

The Myth of Starting Late

When he was 32,  Oskar  Schindler  was a balding, opportunistic Nazi who obtained a factory through his Nazi connections. He had no major artistic, oratory or athletic skills. At that point, he had no way to make history in a positive way. But, he did and with just 2 years of work. Through his tenacity and change of nature, he helped 1200 Jews escape the Nazis. Now, a whole community of people proudly uses his name -  Schindlerjuden   (Shindler's Jews) and venerated highly in Israel.Schindler saw a problem and did whatever he could to solve it. That's the way to make history, dammit! There are millions of problems around us and if we change ourselves today, we have an opportunity to make history. Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela and scores of others we remember in history didn't really set the world on fire when they were quite young. They were not child prodigies and they were not extraordinarily skilled in any particular field. They were ordinary m...
