Music- A way of life.

Music is something that connects millions of souls together, and that which has the power not only to bind us to one another, but also to evoke feelings which no physical or emotional touch possibly can.
Roughly, music is an emotion in itself. And is definitely a way of life for many of us.
Most of our lives are affected by music in a way incomprehensible to others. Not only does it help us to identify emotions, but also acts as an escape from the brutality of the world. It takes into a blissful world of our own, and lets us stay there for as long as we desire.
Sometimes, it is almost as though a note, a chord plunges out and takes our hand, and pulls us into an entirely different world.

On "Man's Search For Meaning" : Alienation and Dehumanization of Jews

Man’s Search For Meaning is Viktor Frankl’s voyage to find hope even in the darkest of times, and even in the most vulnerable human states. He does not let himself be beaten by the atrocities taking place around him, but rather derives from these experiences lessons of survival, suffering, and love. Born on 26th March 1905 to a Jewish family, Frankl was interested in  psychology from a very young age. He was deported to a Nazi ghetto in 1942, and he spent around 3 years in different camps before being liberated from Dachau in 1945. His specialization in psychology and psychiatry proved to be helpful during his time as a prisoner in the Nazi camps, as he was often assigned the responsibility of medical and psychiatric care. It was through this experience too, that he laid the foundation for “Logotherapy”, or Therapy for the Soul. The Holocaust, or Shoah, was the state-sponsored persecution and genocide of around six million Jews and certain minority groups during the Second Worl...

Shards

My solitaire glimmers in the dark, as we sit silently by the lake. My lips curl into a thankful smile, as your fingers brush against mine. You pull me into an embrace, as peace ripples within. Engulfed in the warmth of your love, my languid soul, now complete. The moon casts dancing shadows on your face, as my eyes glisten with tears. Reality is painful, is this a dream? Untamed thoughts, yet timid talks. Of blissful rainbows, and clear skies. Not of storms or hurricanes, raging furiously within. Not of the end of the forked road, but of the journey ahead. Whom are we trying to deceive? Is this what we'd vouched for? You were the dream I always dreamt. You were the reality I fantasized to face. You were the rhythm my heart beat to. You were the fresh air I wanted to breathe. And here you are now, a broken mirror. Your presence shattered like broken shards, in my seemingly languid life.

Perfect, yet imperfect: The Indian Education System.

With each passing year, the number of students appearing for class X or class XII exams is constantly increasing. And though many come out with flying colors, there is very little that they actually know about their subjects. There are not one, but several loopholes in our education system, which are somehow hidden. Each student has their own special capabilities, which if nourished well, become an asset for the student. But this isn't as easy as it sounds. Students are forced to study all the mainstream subjects until grade 10, with the objective that the student will be able to decide what he wants to pursue in future. Even in this, there is a drawback. Every student might not have the same interest in all the subjects. And if there isn’t any interest, then there is no point in doing/learning it. Some students might excel in all the subjects, but then, everyone isn't the same. There are some who might be interested in sports rather than in studies, and some might be mor...
