I know there are a few inactive volcanos in the world which would cause no harm to humans. However, why take a chance!
All the science experiments aside, the thought of molten lava and poisonous smoke spewing out from a crevice in the earth, it terrifies me.
I have a strong feeling that I would not be able to out run it. So no thank you! I am staying as far a possible from such situations.
My family always does things for me. I think most families do, but it tends to go unnoticed because we take things for granted.
As a kid, I remember my sister not opening a packet of chips or a bar of chocolate till I was home. My father carried me on his shoulders despite being exhausted himself. My mother gave me kisses before she left for work even when she thought I was sleeping.
After growing up, I remember my sister standing up to my father when he said hurtful things to me. My mother gave a warm huge when I was going through a bout of depression (even though she did not know it. At least I think she didn’t). My father buys me spicy food when I am down with cold even when I don’t ask for it.
So there you go, I really can’t say just one isolated incident, there are multiple scenarios scattered over my whole lifetime. Family can be a handful at times but I am thankful that I have them.
I am not one to understand that much about food. Weird as it may sound, food is complicated for me.
I do not understand the nuances of the various flavors and their balance. For me if the food is not bad it is good. As such, I have not developed any particular interest to any sort of restaurant. As long as the food tastes good I would like the restaurant.
The one thing I do understand when deciding if a restaurant is good is if the atmosphere is comfy and does not put me on edge. I love when there are booths which give a little privacy and comfy chairs.
So in conclusion, give me a comfortable setting and good food I will rate the restaurant as a favorite. 🙂
If you were to ask me yesterday I would say settled, owning a small business, maybe a house and car.
However, today I am philosophical, as I speculated on the prompt the answer that came to my mind was “How the hell would I know?”. All I see when I think 10 years ahead is uncertainty.
I feel that every situation in my life makes me make a choice and that in turn changes the course of my life. On any other day I would stress out and want to fight harder to get back on track. But today, I am choosing to keep making progress it may not be what I initially planned but that is okay.
I may not achieve things by the initial timeline I set for them, but, as long as I keep trying there is a hope that I will get there eventually.
Five things that make me happy…
I can find happiness in almost anything if I put my mind to it. Unfortunately, I am tuned to always search out the worst case scenarios.
If the questions was about people the answer is easy, my family and friends make me happy. But when I am on my own there are few things that can bring a smile to my face-
Growing up, I always try to contemplate the purpose of all the subjects we had in school. I ended up concluding that there was no real purpose.
However, each class did teach me something. Languages taught me how to communicate, Sciences taught me how things work, Maths taught me how to… well… add up things. I could go on about it.
However, leaving the typical subject we learn in the classroom. There was something called skills classes that we were taught. In that class, we were taught how to how to attend/take interviews, give presentations, dress up formally, dinner etiquettes and believe or not make up!
At the time it was taught I found it to be boring, but now that I am actually working, It really makes me realize how small things can make a huge impact!
I am not a person who can easily forget things. Worse than that, I keep reliving the mostly horrible moments of my life over and over again.
I always thought that I am not good at moving on from things when it comes to others. Carrying the weight of all that pain and hurt was just beyond anything I have ever known. I had to break down completely after which I realized that letting go was the only option I had to move on.
And my word! The first time I just let myself be was just life altering! I still have a problem with letting go. But I have learnt to let go of little things. There are always going to be something that I cannot control and that is okay!
Besides having absolute control over your destiny is overrated! 🙂
Given that I am generally a very lazy person, I do not do much of physical exercise.
The one thing I love doing is exercising my mind! I love learning new things! Learning something new always makes me happy and excited. Now, let’s be completely honest, the excitement is there in the initial days and usually tappers down after that, but nonetheless, I prefer it to exercising!
Whenever I do exercise, I prefer to dance. And no, I am not a good dancer. I wish I were but I am not. I did go for dance classes for 6 years but all I can do is be a background dancer. I have no sort of aura a dancer should have. On the other hand, using it as a means to add some sort of activity in my life seems like a good option.
I think the Harry Potter books was an unexpected series. It opened people to a world of magic! I mean the concept of a school of magic, a parallel world existing where magic exists, I especially love how they intertwined the “normie” world with the magical world. It is truly amazing!
As a child, the world of imagination just got a whole lot bigger. And I am aware there were more amazing magical books that were published over the years. But the Harry Potter series will always hold a special place in my heart and yes, whenever I get a chance, I dive right back into the magical world of Hogwarts.
Okay let’s be real! I did not read the book I instead watched the TV series.
I totally loved the way the actor has portrayed the character of Merlin. I loved the love hate relationship between him and the character King Arthur. But more importantly, I love Merlin’s journey to discover his Magic.
Merlin is stated to be the greatest magician of all time. Just imagine! To be so powerful! To be able to make everything in the world better. Hmm.. come to think of it I would not like being the one with the ultimate power. I mean, it is said that power corrupts and I think I would easily go to the dark side.
If I could be Merlin without falling prey to the dark side of the magic that would be the character I want to be.
