What are you thinking?

How many of us have thought about that question? That question or some form of it. Of course we have. We are of curious nature, we have thought about what the person next to us or a person is thinking about. Especially, if the person is a loved one. I don't know about anyone else, but I have on countless occasions said to myself "I wish I knew what that person was thinking" or "I wish I knew what that person thinks about me" or even "I wish I knew what is/was going on or running through that person's mind". Even right now, many of us might be feeling a bit down, that or we might be wondering why someone is down. What is going on through their mind. We want to know everything. Is it such a good thing that we don't know what is going through peoples' minds? We only know what people tell us? What if we really badly wanted to know what a person thought about us, really? Not the faked front that a person shows, but what they actually taught. Wo...

Increased Amount of Adult Content in Indian Media

By: Aisha Yaqub Recently the Indian Government – specifically the Information and Broadcast Ministry – has banned two hugely popular Indian Reality television shows from prime time broadcasting on channels, due to the fact that there was an increasingly amount of adult content on these shows. The shows are ‘Bigg Boss’, India’s version of UK’s hugely popular reality television show called Big Brother and Rakhi ka Insaf (Rakhi’s Justice). There was a public outcry over the fact that these shows had become too “raunchy” to be broadcasted at prime time.  Even though the Ministry has banned the channel broadcasters from broadcasting it before 11 PM, the Government and the affected channels have not yet confirmed about this new ruling. Why did these shows get banned? The fourth series of Bigg Boss, the reality television show attracted headlines all over Indian newspapers and raised a lot of eyebrows, with the arrival of scantily clad Hollywood celebrity Pamela Anderson in the Bigg Bo...

Wild Happiness

Was running through the jungle, my arms in the air and singing my heart out. I had no idea what I was doing. I was just too happy. I could feel the wind dancing upon my skin and I could hear the sweet melody of Spring. I could hear the birds chirping and I could hear the crickets. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew I wanted to run away and escape. I was too happy to look back. I wanted to run and scream, wanted to take in the joy of it all. Every moment that passed was precious, every feeling that was felt was intense, I knew this was wild happiness. What was coming over me? This sensation, this uncontrollable urge to be happy and smile. I wanted to be wild and crazy. I was tired of being the good and nice person, that I was. It was time to let go and unleash the wildness with emotions running high. I just knew I was in love, but with who? My heart had not stopped beating faster, my heart rate was high, since I could just feel it, the pulse racing on with my sighs. I tried a...

Psychology of Missing Someone

I have been really interested in knowing, what makes a person miss the other person? How do we miss this person? Why do we miss this person? Or anyone in fact? I have been thinking about this from the morning. Even when I was in the shower. Usually, when I am in the shower, I get weird epiphanies or revelations regarding various topics, or I see or think about things which do come true.  I have always wondered if I had some special ability and yes, I do have a special ability.  It is the ability to observe and analyse. Two things very important for Psychologists but Photographers and Journalists alike . Some people might not observe about what's going on around them, some might but not analyse, some won't even do both. It's good to observe and analyse but not draw negative conclusions all the time. We must analyse and draw conclusions without any biases and pre-made up thoughts about something in our minds. Some people analyse and look into something way too much ...

The Dark Room

It is possible that sitting in one room for the past four hours makes a person have weird thoughts. It is possible that this darkness is driving the person wild and crazy. It is possible because the room is a dark room. A person is sitting in that room, the very same person who is writing this right now. The person has nothing to do but waste time, the person has been free for the past four hours. The person is not in a mood. Not in a good mood. This is why, even though the person has the option of switching on the lights, the lights are off. The curtains are drawn and they cover the windows. There is minimal amount of light in this room. The person is angry because of some reason. The person is not even feeling well. The person cannot hear properly from one ear. The person is afraid of the dark. Every now and then it seems that someone is behind the person. This feeling sends the heartbeat and pulse racing and blood pumping. It scares the hell out of the person to thi...

Teri Ankhein

Aye khuda us ki ankhoun mai kuch tu hai Jo mujhe har pal uski taraf khenchta hai Na chahtey howe bhi ik deewangi chaeyi Har pal har lamha ussi ki yaad hamme ayi Uski yadoun mai na din ko chain hai aur na hi raat ko neend ati hai mujhe Kitni dafa socha mulakat ho par mumkin nahi Hamme tarpana kya acha lagta hai tujhe? Us masoom ko tu shayed maloom hi nahi Insaan kis had tak ishq mai dooba hai Ab tu us ke beghair saans lena na mumkin Aur us ke saat khudayi ki bhi khabar nahi
