'Carrey'ed away



I never thought of Jim Carrey to be funny although I do like his movies. It is the high dose of melodramatic expressions and that mouth which is open a few inches more than it should be which disturbs me. Otherwise, I think he is kind of cute.

Recently, I bumped into this video which was shared by one of my friends in Facebook. I was immediately intrigued because it said “Commencement address at Maharishi University of Management”. I should admit that I am somewhat drawn to commencement and graduation addresses. So, I opened this video and played it hoping to see what Jim Carrey had to offer for students. I have to tell you, I was surprised. In fact, it was overwhelming and I even took notes when he spoke about decisions made out of love and fear and asking universe for what we want. I thought it was much more impactful that Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist. It was B-E-A-UTIFUL!  The genuineness which reflected from every word he said and every joke he cracked is unbelievable and so unlike his movies, it gave me goose bumps.
I do believe that when you ask for something wholeheartedly, you happen to get it; sooner or later. But never forget to ask and never be afraid to ask! :)

    His speech was heartfelt and humorous. We cannot forget his "unique" voice.

A life without pencil erasers?

This morning, I got a good dose of philosophy from the newspaper. It isn’t very often that you get to read unique articles and this particular one definitely made my Friday morning a thoughtful one. It was the ‘World View’ column with the title “Pencil Erasers may be the ‘devil’” that caught my attention. It got me thinking about the process of unlearning taught to us at school. A lot of questions popped up. Why do we hide our mistakes? Why isn’t it okay to make mistakes? Why are we taught to make up for a mistake? Why aren’t we taught to look at the mistake and learn from it? Why do we erase a mistake? Why aren’t we being naturally ourselves? Why do we need an eraser? The last question is what instigated me to write this post. What if Edward Nairne had not invented an eraser by accident? What if we were never introduced to the concept of the eraser at school! I should admit that the little wad of rubber that undoes all the mistakes made by your mighty pencil is inde...

Diet Horror Story

Food in the time of dieting. This is exactly like love in the time of Cholera, only, here, the love is for food. Your cravings are at an all-time high, you surprisingly become more lazy, you feel anxious when eating out, you are looking up every diet plan there is in the planet, your best friend suddenly looks thinner, your weighing machine needs repair and perhaps you are even subconsciously praying to god to help you shed those extra luggage. It is not because you have started eating a pea less than before that your body feels so weird when you start a diet. No. If you have any of these symptoms , trust me, your body has nothing to do with it. I am not a diet expert or an aspiring model, but I know what I am talking about. I have been through this outrageously pathetic stage of my life during my adolescence when I felt that cringing need to diet when some really jobless people called me a pumpkin, literally. I was too young to reason with myself. I started this tailored diet pl...

Make Up and Me (Not Me)

They say people who don't know to dance have two left feet. Although, I might have two left feet myself, what is more interesting is I might actually have two left hands. Okay, I understand that's funny but here is why: If you are a girl or a boy or a boy who looks like a girl, you would probably know that it is a thing now to have a makeup blog or vlog or youtube channel in your name. I bumped into this world of cosmetics, beauty blogs and tutorials only a few months ago. For those who don't know about it, let me tell you, it is a crazy, ruthless and unbelievable world. Picture sourced from Google Heard of these? Snail slime masks, Placenta hair masks, Seaweed bathing creams, Microblading.... and endless other such insane stuff. These are insane but quite popular among beauty enthusiasts and they even swear by the benefits of such products. These are otherwise cringe-worthy products in my world. I use gramflour+tumeric face mask, Coconut oil hair mask and  a...
