Traditions and cultures have always been widely followed in India, and that is what makes India unique, really. But let's face it, tagged along with these traditions come the uncountable, rather annoying superstitions. Most of them are baseless, and some are simply absurd, and in an attempt to bust these superstitions, I've decided to list some. Pzzt, I couldn't help being somewhat sarcastic, so if you can't handle sarcasm, maybe skip this for now. A cat crossing your way is bad omen. Cats are living creatures. They have work to do. I can't fathom how a cat crossing the road could affect one in any way, or how it could be made up for by letting someone else go through the area first. Don't wash your hair on Tuesdays or Thursdays, or any particular day. My hair is dirty. And I prefer being clean, any day of the week.  Playing with scissors causes fights. I'm all for safety around scissors, but I really don't understand how they could cause fig...

Now my life has reached a stage, Where I’m full of regret, full of rage. And if I could, I would turn the page, But this book named Life is locked in a cage. I used to believe in making the most of it, Until I slipped and fell into this pit. And in the dark, helpless I sit, Such silence surrounds, so now I quit. And once again, I've been left alone, My soul has been turned into stone. Wounded and hurt, it has been thrown, Now and forever, I’ll be on my own. One last time, an attempt to rise, No response, now tears fill my eyes. Its not me, its my soul that cries, My soul that’s tired of listening to lies.

You can't resist cakes and chocolates, you crave the most random sweets at odd times, you don't consider your meal complete unless you have dessert to go along with it. Congratulations! You have a major case of sweet tooth. And if it is so, you are probably accustomed to the feeling of walking into a bakery or a pastry shop, the sweet smell of those delicious pastries and cakes hitting your nostrils, and giving your eyes the pleasure of looking at those perfectly carved pies and tarts and macaroons and what not, knowing that you'll get to treat yourself with one. I've only recently realized that I have a sweet tooth - and by recent I mean a couple of years ago. So yeah, I live on high cal diet, I wouldn't mind having a piece of cake for lunch or dinner, or both. Also, shakes form a major part of my life, and I'm highly dependent on chocolates for survival. Speaking of chocolates, only one bar is enough to single handedly turn my bad mood upside-down! There ex...

Walking all alone with these scars, Nowhere to go, just following the stars. Nowhere to be, no destination, Just pacing until I achieve salvation. I’m mortal, an end will come to this, There would be a day when I find bliss. Till then I keep striding down the road, Striding alone, bearing this load. It starts to rain, but I’ll be alright, The load feels heavy, I need more might. No one to help, but I can take it on my own, Being on my own is all I’ve ever known. As lightning strikes, I start to fear, I cry out for help, but there’s no one to hear. The load drops off, and I fall face first, The thunder cracks, so do I, I burst.
