Moving in life From Unsplash : @fuuj You're moving. You're not still. It's just that your pace is different than others. It feels everyone's moving in their life except you. Maybe, no. It's like you're in one train & others are in the other train. When you're in a moving train & another train at faster speed passes by, it feels as if your train isn't moving at all & other one's moving. But that's not true. Your train's moving too but at a pace different than the other . It's also not that you're moving at a slow pace. You are on your time. You'll reach your own destination at your own time. The other train may have a different destination & a different reaching time. Both are in their own tracks. No one's slow or fast. Just on a different track with different destination & reaching time.  From Unsplash :  @amosbarzeev What are your thoughts on this?  Comment below! Or just reply wherever you found this blog...

Online education has become such a mess that everything seems so complicated. The simplicity of Khan Academy can never be seen in any other. Commercialization of any social objective makes it   bleh . What in the world is two teachers classroom?  Like what? First of all, it's tuitions. That means it's already secondary after school teachers. This implies school teachers are incapable of teaching. Not that the child needs a little extra help. So why are we paying the schools then? Online schooling during the pandemic has just made it worse. The kid who has already lost opportunity to venture out in open nature is now tied more to the screen than ever killing all their outdoor activities. Education is must, agreed, but it's literally not the only way to make career. Even if the child is interested in studies doesn't give parents any right to restrict all their outdoor activities and make them already a victim of capitalism that they themselves are feeding. Non-curricular ...

How people talk after Lockdown Lockdown effects Missed a good sunset🌅 Apparently I had two story books by same author as a kid. But she wrote them both using different pen names so I didn't know.  On other note, people now after more than a year of pandemic really want to speak a lot. Irrespective of extrovert or introvert. Just let out everything. To the point where other person is just unable to finish their sentences. I'm the other person & I'm not liking it because my conversational skills have already dipped because of social distancing. There are people who did talk normally & let everyone speak before this pandemic with all due manners are now just talking without pausing. Or am I seeing this all wrong? Whatever it'd be, I got to up my skills back to at least where they were.  Ps.: I'll write about the book in picture few days later. What I came to know on Google is that this was the author's most famous series while I had picked it up randomly a...
