Googling Something You Don't Know | Being Surreal

Googling Something You Don't Know | Being Surreal

A lot of people just read something and start reacting to it. Without having any prior knowledge to it. So it is important that people read and start learning things on their own too and follow their curiosity. You see something you don't know so you go ahead and search about it, watch videos and learn about it. In this episode, I talk about this and I also tell some random stories about me.

Animal Farm | Book A Better Me

Animal Farm | Book A Better Me

In this edition of BOOK A BETTER ME, I read Animal Farm by George Orwell and I have to admit that this is an amazing book and is one of my all time favourites. If you are someone who wants to start reading then this is a book  you should read, specially if you have an interest in politics. It is about a farm in which the animals overthrow the owner and rule the farm on their own and live in their imagined heaven.

Emotions: Is Crying Good?

Emotions: Is Crying Good?

Emotions is something which is talked a lot but still not understood. People always try to hide their emotions fearing that they would be judged. Crying is often seen as something only a weak person would do. And you are told that you should not cry. But should it really be that way? This is what I talked about in this episode.

People And Negativity

People And Negativity

In this episode, I talk about how most people have a negative outlook towards and everything. People look at everything negatively. I am a great believer of "There's good in everything." A lot of people waste a lot of their time in "acting" depressed, from whatever reason, maybe to look cool, to get the social validation or just to fit in their peers.
