The Balance

Warning : This post is going to be bit unusual . I don't know if everybody feels like this or it is just me .. Maybe I think too deep ... 

This happens a lot of times in a relation that one person is emotional and other one is practical . I feel that everyone has two sides 1) Emotional & 2) Practical and people try to find a proper balance of both in life . It certainly is a brain whacking task . I will tell you how I try to find balance with example (Because that's what my teachers will expect :P #IndianStudent )

Last year on 20th September 2014 , I was a contestant for Mr. Fresher in my college . I lost ... Badly . The crowd wasn't a good one . They were shouting and booing regularly . In my earlier posts I have mentioned that I had stage fear in school and with great difficulty I had come out of it . So this performance could have easily been a major set back if I hadn't balanced the emotional part & practical part properly . For first 15-20 minutes after my performance I was emotionally shattered . I cursed myself to actually think that I was good enough for this . Then at back of my mind a small echo said " Hetu why let the crowd get you down . They are like crabs who try to pull you down if you go up . Your job is to entertain the crowd . It doesn't matter whether it is on stage or offstage . Keep doing your work . " I said okay lets do it . After the crowning ceremony of Mr & Ms. Fresher was over , the DJ party started and I had to go amongst the crowd , face my friends , my classmates . They all expect an embarrassed face from me . Before they could give me their pity , I shouted at top of my voice " YESSS .. I WAS THE WORSTT !! " and hugged two - three classmates and I laughed madly . Watching such reaction they were shocked at my audacity to laugh at myself . I started dancing madly , doing stupid moves and cheering up my friends instead of them cheering me . If I would not have done that , the next day in college I would be hiding myself , thinking scarce , ignoring people . In fact I met more and more people the very next day . Some of my friends mock saluted me for being so practical . Not letting my mood spoil, the general mood of group was pretty good . Pity is for losers . I refused to accept it . I was bad on that day alone and not for ever . 

This year , I worked hard and organised Fresher party . It went smoothly . Me & my team received lot of compliments from teachers & students alike .lots of messages from people congratulating us. That made me emotionally high . Rather than going mad with excitement , I curbed that feeling and channelised it in other tasks . This improved my other tasks . My general mood is really great . I think I found a way how to keep my good mood in check . 

PS : Hope you understand a little bit of what I want to say . How to channelize emotional high into practical  thoughts & how to improve your emotional low by thinking practical . Hope someday you find your own balance ;)

The True Value of Overpricing

Image
 If you’ve ever been to an Indian market, you’ve probably witnessed (or participated in) the age-old ritual of bargaining. Whether it’s haggling with an auto-rickshaw driver over ₹10, negotiating with a street vendor for an extra lemon, or convincing the shopkeeper to round down the price of bangles, we Indians love a good deal. It’s in our DNA—we take pride in securing the best price possible. But sometimes, just sometimes, it’s okay to pay a little extra for something you truly like. That ₹5, ₹10, or even ₹20 extra isn’t just about money; it’s about the value of joy. Because It Feels Right Imagine this: You’re at your favorite chai tapri, the kind that serves tea in earthen kulhads. You can get chai for ₹10 at the next stall, but this stall makes it just right—kadak (strong), with the perfect balance of adrak and elaichi. The shopkeeper tells you it’s ₹15. Do you bargain, or do you simply hand over the extra ₹5 because this is the chai your heart wants ? Sometimes, that extr...

Bullshit Something Principle

Image
Ever found yourself in a debate, armed with facts, logic, and a perfectly reasoned argument, only to feel like you're trying to nail jelly to a wall? You present a meticulously sourced piece of information, and your opponent counters with a wild, baseless claim that sounds vaguely plausible to the casual listener. You then spend ten times the effort debunking their nonsense than it took them to invent it. If this sounds like your last family dinner or that endless scroll through social media comments, then congratulations! You've just experienced Brandolini's Law in action. So, What in the Heck is Brandolini's Law? Also known as the "Bullshit Asymmetry Principle," Brandolini's Law states: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." In plain English: It takes way, WAY more effort to debunk a false claim than it does to make one up. This isn't some ancient philosophical text or a deep s...

Following Your Conscience

Image
Imagine being torn between everything you've been taught and everything you've experienced. That’s exactly where Huck Finn finds himself in Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn . Society tells him that helping Jim, a runaway slave, is wrong—sinful, even. Yet, every moment spent with Jim reveals a different truth: kindness, loyalty, and friendship that transcends race and social norms. Picture Huck holding a letter he’s written to Miss Watson, ready to betray Jim. But then he remembers—the laughter they shared, the times Jim protected him, the genuine care in Jim’s eyes. And in that moment, Huck does something extraordinary. He tears up the letter and declares, “All right, then, I’ll go to hell!” This isn’t just a rebellious act; it's Huck’s way of saying, “I trust my heart more than the world around me.” It’s a moment we all can relate to—when we realize that what everyone else believes might not be what we believe. Think about it: How often do we find ourselves ...
