ILLUSION

Do you know someone who has never done any wrong to you?
Anyone?
Do you know “anyone” at all or this is just an illusion of the world that we live in?

Probably everyone has come across a time, where you detach yourself just for a moment and think about how nothing matters, at all. Your mind spirals into the wonders of the universe and life. As you sink into the endless serenity of this cosmos, you quickly realize you’re falling and you struggle to catch a gasp of air, till you’re back in the room and staring at the wall.

Life, is still a mystery and I may as well come to accept that it always will be, but when I sit and think about the world we live in, people around us, the ideas of personalities of the people we know, that we tend to build in the span of knowing them and pursue ourselves with this knowledge which we don't know if is even true?
You’ve met and known so many people, and you think you know some of them pretty well, do you though?

This is just an illusion, isn’t it? Everyone we know is just an illusion of what your mind wants them to be for you. Well, after all these grave thoughts, here’s something to make you feel a bit better, maybe; they don’t know you either.

Oh! what a safe and sound place to guard ourselves in. We live in the irony of all human affection and faith, don’t we?

Shari Lapena, a lawyer and a writer (genre: mystery) wrote something in “A Stranger in the House” that resonates with this thought. It goes like, “What is love anyway, she thinks, but a grand illusion? We fall in love with an ideal, not a reality.”

The First.

So hey, I'm Upasana Deka, a Homosapien living somewhere in our loving Earth. (I'm trying so hard to sound cool, but this isn't happening anytime soon) - ooh that rhymed ! Okay after such horrific starting, if you are still reading then WELCOME TO MY VERY FIRST BLOG. I'm new here. I don't know how to or what to write in a blog, but I guess I needed a public domain to write my feelings out, to the strangers who care to read, so here I am. A normal mainstream teenager I am, who opted for Science in school and have big dreams and aspirations to fulfil. But I fear I don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere. I can't see myself following the same routine every day. I love challenges, and rather than being stuck at a place, I'd chose to face a problem and kick its ass off. (yeah, we teens use that. Might be inappropriate for some who are reading this, but I'm going to use some words, 'cause even though Life's beautiful but it still is a bi...

The Curiosity Infliction

You know the urge to know everything? Inside us, there's this "Curiosity Infliction" that wants to find an answer to any sort of oblivious question and dig through the loopholes and finally feel the satisfaction of getting enlightened by the hidden truths of one's existence. You have it too, right? No? We like to interact, whether it is with humans, dogs, cats or just pets and animals in general and even extraterrestrial species (oh hi Aliens! if you're reading this by any chance). Let us narrow down these interactions to just among the humankind. We know at some point we all are a bit petrified to start an interaction with a total stranger. Alright so as we move on to have this interaction, we start realising if this interaction is effective and if we are enjoying it and would we like to be real friends with them? Fast forward to the situation where you are starting to know that person a bit better. And suddenly that "curiosit...

All Grown Up?

Hey, Do you consider yourself to be a "grown up"? It starts when you get the realisation of where your life's heading to and you don't want it to be this way and you just ask yourself, "What the hell is happening??" They say "grow up" but they don't know about the days when you cried out loud in that shopping centre to get that toy, without caring what others think. All you wanted was your mum's attention and that toy and they still don't know, that now when you cry in that bathroom covering your mouth so that no one can hear you, you know you've grown up. Every day you're a new person , you have somewhat more knowledge and experience than you had the other day. Not only that but every new day, you grow up to know yourself a tiny bit more. I'm not the same person I was a year ago ! I struggle every day because I have to prove something, not to others but to my own self, that I am doing better today than ye...
