Jealousy

 


Hello everyone👋 What is jealousy? It is nothing but the uncontrollable anxiety a person feels upon witnessing the achievement or well-being of his or her neighbour. When one feels jealous, he or she is unable to control oneself and tries to do something about it. They either develop hatred towards the particular individual or express their anger in various ways. This expression of anger is either in self-destructive ways or directing the anger towards another place.

When one develops hatred towards an individual, they begin to plot the individual's downfall or defamation. Defamation involves spinning false gossips about them, pretending to act in the individual's best interests but doing all sorts of things to bring harm upon them, etc. Another way is trying to mentally demoralize them by pointing some of their shortcomings in order to give them an inferiority complex or get them out of their happy moments.

But what people keep forgetting is, what they lose through this hatred. First thing, everyone knows, their peace of mind. Another thing is, the person forgets his or her work during the time of bringing down the other individual. This leads to hindering one's own progress, which is useless for either party. He or she fails to enjoy the leisurely things around them, which leads to huge regret.

One simple way which I propose to curb this malice is to stop just seeing the outlook, and start to look deeper. The thing is, when one ceases to see just the achievement and begins to see the pain and hardships that the person underwent, he would lose all hatred and instead develop a sense of respect towards the individual. Respect curbs ego, and sows the seed for learning. Therefore, whenever you find a successful person, people, try to get close to them and learn more about them so that you don't develop hatred, but develop yourself instead :)

Dad's Chicken Gravy

 Hello friends! Today I am going to share with you about my dinner experience and how it led me to do some things which were unusual of me. To start with, I was going home from college and I was terribly famished. As I went closer and closer to my house, I was thinking only about having anything to chew in my mouth. But unfortunately, I had no other choice other than the curd rice my mother had made in the morning. The side dish was lady's finger roast, which, too, I knew would have gotten over by the time I got home. So, it's just curd rice and nothing else to have for a side-dish. Now I do like curd rice, but having it without anything for a side dish makes me a bit unhappy. But just when I got home, I came to know that my dad had made chicken gravy for dinner. I was not a big fan of his chicken gravy till then, but this particular day, I don't know what got into me. I was hell-bound to have it. Coincidentally,  while having lunch with my friends, one of them mentioned ab

My Gap Year

 Hello people! Welcome to my blog. This is my first post and my hearty thanks to all you people for supporting it by visiting it. I am a first year under-graduate student of the course B.A. English Language and Literature. Today, I would like to share with you my journey towards choosing this course and how I have perceived it so far. To start with, I heard about this course for the very first time when I was in my eighth grade. It was suggested by my father at a time when I was on a spree of writing stories. Thise were neither short stories nor essays or poetry. Those fit in a category which is yet to be founded. I had then had a notion that I would go on to make those of my stories into films in the distant future, although now I laugh at myself for having such crazy ideas with those kind of stories. It was at that point of time when my dad suggested that I take up English Literature for my UG and then pursue Film Studies for my PG, reasoning that such a path could help me shape myse

My Best Friend

  Hey people! What makes a good friend? Well, a friend who is supportive most of the time. A friend who keeps you happy most of the time. A friend who is there whenever you are in need. A friend, who consoles you when you are sad and a lot of other things make a good friend. But, what makes a best friend? If we talk about best friend, he/she is the one who doesn't tick any of the boxes for the questions above. I don't know if he is supportive, but stays with you all the time. A best friend is that person who annoys you most of the time. More like, a 'ஜோடி கிளி' (pair of parrots). That friend is the one who, I don't know if he consoles, but gets you irritated so much so that you forget your original depression. If you are hurt, he will hurt you even more, making you invincible to hurt. A best friend does not choose you and you don't either. It is a knot tied by the Almighty himself. A best friend is not there to help you. He/She is there to make you who you are,
