The Seeker

•January 15, 2010 • Leave a Comment

There are many different types of people in society. Some attract everybody, some don’t even attract a fly. The inability to attract results in a psychological complex in that person’s mind.

How do you think the person overcomes this complex tactfully? Well, seeking attention. There are various kinds of attention seekers. Some just WANT attention and some that genuinely deserve it. As for the ones who want more attention, despite  having it already, they will use any means necessary to achieve their goal. Do stupid things, tell dramatic stories, etc. As they say, “Drastic times call for drastic measures.” It’s funny just to sit there and analyse the legitimacy of the stories told. Most of them turn out to be out of the ordinary, something out of a child’s storybook or even an imaginary story. These stories may be positive in nature or negative, depending on the seeker’s intention and present circumstances. Once the attention is given to the seeker by the crowd, the seeker begins to drift off, break away. A downright show of attitude is exhibited by the seeker. This behavior in turn, has adverse effects for the attention seeker such as a social boycott and shunning. You can’t forget the endless mockeries.

Once the tables have been turned on the seeker, he begins to regret it all. This can only happen if he has a living conscience inside of him. The guilt builds up inside, haunting him for the rest of his life. “Why did I want attention? What good has it done?! I’ve taken it all for granted and now I’m being mocked.” A serious epic fail.

“Don’t run after the world is search of prestige and glory, the world will run farther away. Stay indifferent to all the attention, eventually;  it will come knocking at your door.”

I’m just testing this.

What’s with the large attitude? How about a side order of, GET LOST!

•December 23, 2009 • 1 Comment

A lot of people in society these days progressively gain an attitude problem. Many factors are; wealth, looks, fame or even in some cases, size.

Just because somebody is rich and powerful, it doesn’t mean anything. He would be rich one day, bankrupt and a complete bum the next. When someone has the dough, he thinks he’s the best and is blind and oblivious of the people around him. A person tends to become vain because of the ever-common “Money is everything” syndrome. It’s sad actually, how a thing such as money could corrupt and blind the noblest of people. Although, there are a certain few who retain their normal self even after financial prosperity. Sadly, the probability of finding such people is severely low.

Another common denominator in the era of attitude is one’s vanity and looks. When someone is good looking, they tend to become full of themselves and have their heads up in the clouds. It’s not very often that a person who is good-looking is humble about it. Fame and popularity play another role in the attitude and corruption process. When one is surrounded by self-obsessed people with an attitude, he too becomes effected by the epidemic. Once his ego and arrogance level reaches its maximum, he tends to disregard the normal people and those he once knew. This behavior is commonly unacceptable to old friends.

Size and strength. A certain individual who is muscular and well, huge, often picks on weaker people. Why? The huge size contribute to his pride and arrogance. The mentality of such a person is a little bit along the lines of “Hey, I’m so strong. I can pick on this guy and beat him up, yet he still won’t be able to do anything about it.” Which is obviously, immoral.

Just a Reality 101 for all those people with huge ego’s and arrogance, nobody cares! Every human is created equal. Nobody has a right to make fun of another person just because they think they are the best. Whatever source of pride and arrogance you have, you’ll have it one day, but you could lose it the next. If one has these luxuries, they should be humble and down to earth about it. This is to ensure that, if these luxuries were to be taken away, his self-esteem wouldn’t be damaged at all. If someone on the other hand had these luxuries taken away while in the state of utter arrogance, it would deliver a massive blow and that certain individual would have to face the ultimate disgrace.

Trust

•December 22, 2009 • 1 Comment

Trust, like respect, takes many years to gain. The trust that people have for an individual is one of the most precious things he could have.

Even though it takes years to attain, trust can be reduced to ashes in mere moments. How? When one takes advantage of  the trust someone has for him, while the person whose trust is being exploited is let down substantially. Why would a person steal something not worth stealing even though all he has to do is ask for it? The psychology of today’s people is extremely mind-boggling beyond belief. They always want to make things difficult for themselves and the society as well by breaking the hard earned trust of people.

Trust is something that is very hard to regain once lost. It seldom happens that the person could trust or be trusted gradually, depending on the situation. Now, all we have to do is quit being so deceptive and treacherous so that people can trust us, as well as people we may encounter in the future. If we can achieve trust, it can open many different doors of opportunities.

Time

•December 16, 2009 • 2 Comments

Everybody knows what time is, but not everybody values it as it should be valued. Time which has passed cannot be brought back. Once it’s gone, it is gone.

People these days are just wasting time doing pointless, irrelevant things. Time is being taken for granted. Many other people, on the other hand, are using time to their advantage. Time management. Time can also make a person wise over the years and change the physical features of one’s surroundings and countless other things. Life isn’t about messing around or goofing off. It requires one to be serious. How can someone be serious? Well, stop wasting time! Just ponder for a few moments about time itself. A privilege, a gift. Everybody is given the same amount of time to do stuff. In the end, some say, “I didn’t get enough time.” Just a reality check, you did and plenty of it. The clock is constantly ticking. It will never turn back, rather it would progress in the forward direction. Have we realized what we want to do with our lives? Or are we just going to let our lives decay? Think about it, because once your time comes, it comes. No turning back. The end of the line, the final frontier. Only then will you realize whether or not you made your life worthwhile…After reading this, I hope you will realize what a wonderful treasure we have and how we must use it wisely.

17.

December 3rd 2009:

Just another day in my ordinary life. Not just any day though, my birthday. In fact, my 17th birthday. Things were pretty normal throughout. I followed my daily routine, went to college, the usual. As the day progressed; I received many birthday wishes, texts, calls, facebook, in person, etc. For some unexplainable reason, the major part of my day was depressing. I couldn’t figure out the reason as to why I was in sheer melancholy. I was quiet, doing my schoolwork. After I went back home, things were the way they always were. Normal. Evening time came, so I got ready for some good old birthday outing. My sister and I first went to her university to check out an Alumni art show, really talented people with such immaculate masterpieces, if I do say so myself. I began to lighten up a bit. We went to The Forum afterwards. We did some window-shopping, got a few bites to eat and something to drink. I got Red Bull Cola. If Coca-Cola had a fruit and you squeezed the juice out of it without adding any sugar whatsoever, it would taste just like Red Bull Cola. It was pretty awesome and had an electrifying kick to it. Wow. We then went to visit my grandparents, as they were in the neighborhood. After that, we went to pick my cousin up. We proceeded home for dinner. Arabic food, plain yummy. After dinner, I decided to cut the cake. A wonderful chocolate marble cake from Secret Recipe, it was magnificent. Before actually cutting the cake, the Red Bull kicked in. I became so hyperactive, it wasn’t even funny. I was laughing for no reason over little things. My cousin and I played around with my toy light sabers from Star Wars. It was fun acting like a kid again. We goofed around till real late. Then it was time to turn in. Another day, over. Even though my birthday was pretty boring most of the time, the last few hours made up for the whole day. I’m glad.

As for who wished me and who didn’t, now I know who have proven what they claim to be and now I know who’s in deep water. The ones in deep water, well, can’t really do anything about them. All I can say is, they are officially blacklisted. Bunch of losers. Hahahaha. Let losers be losers I say. Thanks again to everyone who wished me an awesome ‘Super 17′.

The Buddy Pack

•November 27, 2009 • Leave a Comment

The past couple of days have been pretty hectic in terms of inflation at Nixor College. I am talking about MAJOR inflation, a double hike in prices! Height of inflation! Half a liter of water is more expensive than the same volume of petrol at our school.

Anyway, it was a normal day as usual. The scorching heat, the heavy inflation..all factors of temptation to buy something refreshing. My friend comes up and says, “Yo Nivz do you have any money?” I was like, “Yeah, I do.” Then he and I went to the cafeteria and got in line. The cheapest drink was for 50 rupees, a buddy pack. We bought the Mirinda buddy pack, glowy orange in all its beauty. It was a 60:40 investment, so I had the bigger share in it. We went back downstairs to the benches. We met up with some friends. Meanwhile, I opened the bottle and took a sniff. Ah! The aroma of sweet smelling oranges when the sun was at its peak. Even though its all artificial stuff, it smelled like the real deal, a bunch of freshly picked oranges. Due to the fact that the Mirinda had such a wonderful colour and the bottle was extremely flamboyant, we decided to maintain that state for a bit longer instead of gulping it down to quench our thirst. We sat on the bench and I put the buddy pack bottle between us. I stared at it frequently, admiring its bright colour, almost radioactive looking. Every now and then I took a sniff. We looked at the bottle as if it was a cute little baby. Time passed, about fifteen minutes I think. My friend had the last straw and said, “Dude, enough is enough..let’s drink it already!” I was like, “Yeah. Sure thing man, just a few more moments.” Then we opened it. I had my share first. The refreshment, the cold flowing beverage going down my throat was a wonderful feeling. I was done so my friend took his share. Thus, the buddy pack was finished.

The buddy pack served us well. It was a great companion. It made us happy as we admired its orange awesomeness. Then it was dedicated to the cause of quenching our thirst. No wonder the Pepsi Company called this particular bottle design ‘Buddy Pack’.

A Blonde Moment

•October 29, 2009 • 1 Comment

  College. It started about 2 months ago. I’ve had some really awesome times and some really awkward ones as well. This particular blonde moment I’m about to catalog is quite surprising as it took place on a mass-scale.

 It was Chemistry class, the last class of the day. Students eagerly waiting for the bell to ring; so they can haul ass out of there and go home, jumping into their soft comfortable beds. Well, not exactly..just an exaggeration. Anyway, Sir Bilal Hameed; our beloved Chemistry teacher, the Director of IT and what not, texted us all. He basically texted a test message just to see if everybody got the text or not. If a student didn’t get his text, he would have to inform Sir Bilal an have his number archived with him. The students did so. Next day, there was much whispering throughout the class, what was it about? There was a ‘test’ that day. My close friend asked me, “Did you get Sir Bilal’s message about the test?” I’m like, “WHAT TEST MAN!?!?!?” I was about to have a panic attack. I quickly checked my phone for any possible messages of that sort. It turned out there was only one message from Sir Bilal from the previous day, beta-testing and confirming whether or not he had each and everyone’s cell number. I assured my friend, “Dude, there isn’t any test, it’s just Sir’s test message.”

Now what do you think made this incident arise? Here is the exact text message:

“Test. Bilal Hameed.”

Now if there was a test, he would have written something along the lines of:

“Test tomorrow, so and so topic.” Or something close to it.

Major blonde moment on the part of the students…hahahahaha

Sounds Like Nostalgia

•October 28, 2009 • 1 Comment

Over the past decade or so, there have been many timeframes which have been associated with a particular song. Everytime that particular song is heard, I tend to remember the memory linked with it. You must be thinking that this must be pretty lame or retarded, but it’s just a way..a way for me to keep my memories intact, good or bad. Let’s start off.

1998:

Back Here by BBMak

1999:

True To Your Heart from the movie Mulan (awesome Disney movie XD)

Bardasht Nahi Kar Sakta..or something like that.

Transformers Armada Theme Song (yes pretty childish, but it was one badass show!)

Obsession from .hack//sign

Trigun Theme Song

Yu-Gi-Oh Theme Song

Yes, all anime basically. I was anime obsessed, I still am kind of. Too many good tunes of the ‘02-’03 era..the one year of my life I spent in Florida, legendary.

2004

A whole bunch of Enrique Iglesias songs.

Heal by Westlife

Turn Around by Westlife

The list goes on and on and on and on..too many songs to include. Just writing the major highlights that take me back in time..;). Again, you must be thinking…”What is it with this Sci-fi shit?!!?” Seriously, you should try this stuff.

2008:

Adrenaline by Gavin Rossdale

The major highlight of 2008 actually, it basically covers all of the main parts of  the year. Call me crazy, during the O Level papers, this song used to be a source of motivation for me, it really helped me pull through. =) And one more thing, this was also my life’s theme song. Hehe

Early 2009:

New Divide by Linkin Park

Let it Rock by Kevin Rudolf

Now, ‘Let it Rock’ was my motivational song and theme music for the first half of 2009. I used to listen to it during my final O Level papers to build up my stamina. I looked forward to listening to it after coming home..hehe..lame, yes. Sadly, that’s what you probably think. I found it to be pretty awesome.

That covers it basically. The best of the best of nostalgia inducing songs over the past decade for me, obviously. All are interconnected with different memories of the respective era, some I’m longing to relive and some, I just want to forget about.
