Song in the queue...


When you open Spotify, play a song, and then the next song is played according to their algorithm, it is sometimes a treat, and sometimes it happens to be extremely annoying. You are like, brooo, that was not today's vibe, that doesn't suit the mood at all! Spotify just knows how you feel usually and plays that, but today you don't wanna listen to that same song which you were maybe dancing to yesterday…

How surprising it is... Your playlist defines you, as they say... I would like to deny that today. Bcoz I am not that same person when I've completed my targets, I am not that same person in the morning when I don't really have a mood to study, neither am I the same person who wants to stare at the sun till it goes down and it's so dark that mosquitos will have you for dinner, nor am I the same person as nobody loves me, and offcourse not the same as I can do it with a broken heart, mostly it also cannot be like I'm unstoppable ( although I wish it was).

So… how does that poor app suggest songs anyway?
There are days I genuinely wonder; are there actual people out there with playlists named Angry, Happy, Sad, Furious or “I Don’t Know,” and still end up thinking, ugh, none of this feels right today? Because I have those days. And let me tell you, they’re the worst. When music — the one thing that usually lifts me out of my “I don’t know” funk — fails to do its job, I’m genuinely irritated. Like, come on, music, this is literally your moment to shine. Get it together! And then there are those times when you click on someone else's playlist — maybe it hits just right today. But fast-forward to tomorrow, and you're thinking, what the hell was I on when I added this to my library? Total betrayal.

It’s kind of like the wind. One day, the breeze through your car window feels magical, like a scene out of a movie. But that same breeze through your bedroom window? Now it’s just chaos, flipping pages, scattering thoughts. What will you do?

 

Close the window…

The hail in April

Why would it suddenly rain now? The first thought, the mangos are gonna get ruined, the next thought, why now? Suddenly, we start digging into the reasons and reading geography and weather articles. Suddenly, the easterlies and westerlies from the 9 th std textbook sound important again, suddenly the hot currents and cold currents seem interesting, suddenly the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean seem like your long-forgotten relatives. You are there to meet them bcoz something unfamiliar has occurred, something out of context, something unexpected….. Now it would be quite boring to connect this directly to life, but still, I would. Why? Because I like to! Why hail in April is what we question when there are uncertainties in our lives. These are nothing but the externalities we never thought would come to meet us on our way to a beautiful, awaited summer. You were preparing to buy a new suncoat, but now you had to pull out the umbrella from the top shelf. Life gives us certain tasks...

Dreams

Such a fascinating word that is. For some, it is to climb a mountain; for others, to buy a house or a car, or just to earn enough money to buy these materialistic things. We often try to buy dreams when we grow old and call it adulting, because the 12-year-old you had a dream of becoming a singer or a cricketer, which faded away with time, and there were ambitions. These academic goals were no longer called dreams, nor was I. Why so? Are we less emotionally involved with these things? Absolutely not! We want that one thing to shine on the CV like nothing else. We want that logo on LinkedIn like nothing else. We want to post that screenshot or the acceptance letter like nothing else. But today, we are 22. Today we have once tasted the bitterness of that fruit which was sweet on day 1, but till you tried to go grab it, it was rotten. Were you late? Or were there more people ahead of you? If so, hypothetically, that fruit was meant to be yours, would you have walked those steps in 2 hours...

Government Gridlock, Grassroots Gains: Rethinking Climate Responsibility

  Why Individual Action is the Key to Fighting Climate Change Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, but the debate continues: should governments take the lead, or do individuals hold greater responsibility? While policies and regulations play a role, history and evidence suggest that individuals, through conscious choices and grassroots efforts, have been the true drivers of climate action. Government Policies: Slow and Often Ineffective Governments have implemented various climate policies, from carbon pricing and renewable energy incentives to stricter environmental regulations. However, these efforts often fall short due to economic concerns, political instability, and corporate influence. Failed Government-Led Climate Actions France’s Yellow Vest Protests (2018-2019) serve as a stark example of how government-led policies can backfire. The French government introduced a fuel tax designed to reduce carbon emissions, but this led to mass protests as fuel ...
