My Old Schedule

-
This blog has a special meaning in my life. Here I will post my own topics and my own feelings. So let me start with my 'old is gold' days. 

 Today I found a diary of phone numbers which I had written last time probably a few YEARS ago. That started my nostalgia about remembering my friends. I had probably brought this diary with me without any special reason, here.

 One thing I noticed was that the diary had landline numbers written in it. So that signifies that 80% of people at that time didn't have their personal cell phones. Having your own cell phones means that your busyness has increased.

 Before 10th standard, my schedule was just awesome. I would come from school around 1 PM. I would have my tutions from 2 to 3:30 in the noon. The main thing was that I went to private tutions which were just opposite to my apartment. After 4 PM, we would all gather down to play Cricket. It was as awesome as it gets. Atleast 8 to 10 people came to play cricket everyday. And it was fun because  we all loved that sport a lot. We would give everything in it. At 6:30, we would conclude playing and go to our respective homes. I would study for a while till 8. And then family time. So I would sleep at 10 and wake up at 6 AM.

 So it was an innocent life. Not much to do. A straightforward life full of amazement and excitement.

 But in those days, I dreamt of being an adult. I so much wanted to enter adulthood. But adulthood presents its own set of challenges. There are times now when I think that childhood, and indeed, school was the best part of my life.

 Few days before Nisarg (my cricket friend of Surat) texted me saying that we had a tournament in April. So I was pretty excited about it. Playing cricket with my old friends. It would just be that sort of feeling again. But because of college exams, I will not be able to go there and play. I have always taken my game very seriously. 

 Occasionally I would go out with my parents or friends on weekends. It would normally be chilling out or having dinner. I go to Surat normally every month and chill out everytime.

 Hopefully, even the next time I go there it will all be fun after some unexpected things have happened in my life.

Taking responsibility and finding purpose

-
More than two years have gone since I came to Germany. It feels like I am living my dream life. I recently finished my studies and started working full-time at a multi-national company. I am being paid well and have enough time outside of work to explore my hobbies. I have been hiking, traveling, going to book clubs and poetry events, meeting new people and exploring spirituality. Never in my life have I been more spiritually inclined than right now. The Bhagwat Geeta gives me mental strength, humility and guidance to live my life. I have realized why Indian people turn to God when they live outside of India. They frequently engage in festivities, Indian gatherings and Bhajan Kirtan events. In short, they want to feel close to Indian culture and Indian people when they live outside. Part of the reason is also because life in Western countries tends to be lonesome and hyper individualistic. Most people do not have anyone whom they can trust outside of their spouse and children. This i...

Traditional and Liberal ideas of Relationships

-
Traditionality is generally considered ideas which are right leaning on the political spectrum. It is the set of values and ethics that have been prevalent in society for decades and centuries. Since man is a social animal, he must follow some of these principles if he wants to be a reputed member of the society. In countries like India and China, eastern philosophy of collectivism thrived throughout history. These cultures put an emphasis on developing together as a family and society. Thus, the elder members of the family always imbibed the cultural values in the young. Also, men and women in these societies were restricted to gender roles such as to earn a livelihood as a man and taking care of the children as a woman. However, starting from the late 20 th century these eastern philosophies moderated their stance on the treatment of women and started giving them more educational and employment opportunities. On the contrary, Liberalism stemmed from Western democratic nations. These...

Sexual Desire in men and women

-
Disclaimer: This article has generalized some traits of men and women’s sexual nature; however, it doesn’t mean that all men and women act in this way. Read on more to find out! From a masculine perspective, testosterone plays a huge role in how a man’s body and mind function. It is the hormone which develops traits like a deeper voice, a physically strong body, rational thinking (as opposed to emotional thinking) and disagreeableness in a man. It is the same hormone responsible for sexual desire in them. A woman’s sexual desire is more mental. A man’s sexual desire is more physical. It means a woman generally needs a lot more time and effort to get turned on. She must feel very safe, secure and be in the right mood and should be with the right person at the right time to think of having sex for the first time with a new person. This contrasts with how a man acts if he sees the opportunity to have sex. In other words, women are very picky when it comes to choosing a sexual partner....
