Control over control

 In life we always want stability, what do I mean by this? It simply means you need to know what is going to happen next, we are engrossed in the future so much that we watch 2 and a half-hour of a movie just for the climax, do you ever sit and think while watching the movie, wth am I watching and why the hell!! But you still sit and test your patience, kyu ki paise bhare hai!

Generally speaking people waste more money long term thinking they’re saving short term, buying cheap brand clothes and Chinese products are a few examples, the happiness of saving money now outweighs the fidget itch it will cause long term, i.e early wear out or poor performance by the product and turn to buy such products multiple times will get more money out of your pocket.

Similarly knowing the climax of a movie will spoil it but we willingly go to the astrologers to find out how we’ll end up! I’ll tell you what happens in the end…YOU DIE!

We had a meeting with our teachers regarding the upcoming exams and the most common question was, what kind of MCQs will be there? I was the only 1 to say sir please don’t spoil it for me!

But I’m no saint and I’m afraid too in these uncertain times when the news can't be trusted besides they don’t cover the topics relevant to you( that’s a topic for another blog) but the news that ultimately reaches you, is still unreliable and keeps changing, I just tell myself to be calm and do what I do. These blogs are a part of it since we can’t predict what’s going to happen, better enjoy the time, later we won’t regret it.

The craving for stability and control over situations makes us do crazy things like lying, getting mad, sometimes literally, manipulating people to get what you want, you know who this is, and creating a façade. We all want to be in control of it.

The underlying realization of the entire prose is to accept the situation and work around it, with it, through it. Find what works for you and do it again and again. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable and as we all know our brains are problem-solving machines, certainly we’ll figure this out as well.

Thanks for reading.

EXAMS

  Exams were invented/discovered to analyse and improve the student function and to improve his ability to face the world. Exams were a tool for the teachers to evaluate the the students understand the blindspots and fill them. In ancient times the students left their homes and lived with their teachers , rishis and yogis would come to their houses and select their pupils and take them to train the as per their requirements. These trainings would consist of reading of vedas and purans, reciting the mantras and others spiritual practices. Focus was to create a well rounded individual who can face the array of difficulties and challenges life throughs at us. Students were also taught to defend themselves, cook, farm and take care of cattle and other domestic animals. Apart from that one teacher only had 2-5 students at his attention.

The Scholar Scoundrel

Over the years of being an average student I always wondered how and what is it that the brilliant students do that sets them apart from the crowd, what magic potion they drink and what notes they make, just like so many of us I've been in the rut of asking the scholars for their notes, much to my chagrin I didn't really see any substantial differences except they were much more organized and diverse than most of the average student's. I saw some of them cramming text books, some referred foreign authors, others were after teachers for...you know why! But still I knew there is something they did differently that made the epiphany. Days past and I forgot about it, everyone does...until the next exam, then again studying late night with my friends I thought "how the hell these scholars do it!!", I mean the time me and my friends are mugging up answers and teaching each other concepts we don't fully understand, bantering over stuff we could have done, and wh...
