ever come across any album that's titled "ME" and has all the photos' description as 'me', 'me' and 'me'? unfortunately.... there are hundreds of 'em. it always urges me to ponder on the fact why people don't seem to understand that if someone looks at your photos, they look at it with full knowledge of whose profile they are looking at. so i see no reason of repeating the person's identification of tagging "ME" in every damn photo.       Also, there are those who like to mention where the pictures are taken. and i mean tooooo much into where it's taken! for e.g- #country#state#city#home#room#study-desk.     i mean.. c'mon. it makes more sense to just state- "at my study-desk". and last but not the least, 'pouty-pouts' are already too out-dated. it is now more like a lip-stretch than a cute thing so.... it's better too just stay away from those. Forever! this post does not directly re

'TRADITIONAL' IS STILL 'COOL'

Image
Living in a world where all people are always trying to race against one another, be it technology-wise, fashion-wise, education-wise, etc. we sometimes forget our true base. Our Tradition. If we look deep into the importance of tradition, we can find that it makes us distinct among million others and makes us a unique self. Tradition is in all by blood, which therefore, deserves equal importance and respect like any essential components in our lives. nowadays, fashion, upgrades each day and people are trying to keep-up with this rapid-growing-trend from the latest fashion-weeks or shows. the garment you have bought from the show yesterday might be out of fashion tomorrow. in the case of traditional attires, the design has been carried on for 100s  and 1000s of years but still hasn't lost a single bit of its value. when you wear a traditional attire, you will hardly hear anyone saying,"the outfit is so ugly!". this is because Tradition has a respectable force in it

if you don't start... how are you suppose to FINISH?

well, this is something almost everyone of us must have experienced- the "I'll do it tomorrow" disease. In an experience of mine, a project, which i was determined to finish during the first week of my summer vacations, only saw it done on the last day of my holidays. yup! if you are facing similar situations, you can make sure that you have the IWDIT disease. I may not be a doctor but what i can tell you is the cause of this disease. Ofcourse! ..what  else will it be than.. LAZINESS. whenever you try to work something out like a project, an assignment, a chore, etc. rather than thinking when it will end, it is much wiser to think when to and how to start it. no matter  how much you think or prepare for something and blabber about what you are going to, you will never know what is really needed until and unless you start. and it is very common that after a long month of holiday, when you force yourself to do that one dreadful piece of assignment, you finally real

BARCELONA: "C'mon... pick-pocketing is just FINE"

Image
Every famous city has their share of pick-pockets to give the tourists a really "unforgettable" holiday. And in this league... Barcelona will not at all be upsetting. Tourists are the main targets for these hand-experts. It is more like a game in which the pick-pockets are the predators while the tourists are their preys. In the past few years, the actions taken by the police for these crimes have stricken. But unfortunately, it is not so in Barcelona. Pickpockets go around busy streets searching for easy pockets and don't fear the presence of any nearby cop. When asked "WHY?" to an expert pickpocket, "it is just 3 days in prison and then you are free to go", came a care-free answer. As far as I am concerned, PICK-POCKETING is not an impressive occupation nor is it healthy for a nation. Rules should be more severe than just "..3 days in jail.". A rule that could keep their hands mannered at the most!     ,

SMOKING: new "unwanted" life-partner?

Image
A few days back, i watched a program on the television that focused on Indonesia's growing Tobacco Market. Some of us must have already seen videos which show minors, even at the age of 2, smoking the cigarette. And what's worse? Nobody cares! An interview was held with the lung-affected patients at a local hospital in Indonesia where the host had asked these patients- In spite of knowing the injurious effects of smoking, why do you still do it? The answer was common for all. They said it had been there since the time they were born and the issue of its bad effects were shadowed by HABITUATION. In that interview, one of the patients even mentioned that it had become too much of a vital part in their lives that it was as important as their daily food. It is also surprising that most of the tobacco consumption in Indonesia are by the poor people. In an interview, they had mentioned that they spend 1/3 of their daily wage to buy cigarettes and when they try to quit smo
