The Achievement Dopamine : Secret to Hookin' Up

Image
  "The pursuit of rewards often blinds us to the joy of the process. In games, as in life, the journey matters more than the destination." Looks like an interesting topic isn't it? Well, you are right. We must all love playing games on Mobile, Tablets, and PC Consoles. Have you noticed that nowadays, each and every game has an achievement section? This achievement section rewards you once you complete the subsequent quest. But little you may know, the role of this "achievement" bonanza is most like to keep you interested to carry forward. Imagine a person who loves collecting trophies—not because they enjoy the activity behind earning them (sports, academics, etc.) but solely for the sake of having a larger collection than others. They may no longer care about playing the game, learning the sport, or gaining the skill; the process becomes secondary to the reward. I am going to keep it as a case study for this blog. So let us decode, as I believe that you might n...

Have We Lost the Unspoken Art of On-Table Conversations?

Image
  "Addiction is deadly. When you are at it, even though you know its disadvantages, you still trudge down the path; regardless of the outcomes". You might be wondering, fellow readers, if today's blog post's title and above quote make sense. Well, stick with me through this blog post, and feel free to jot down your thoughts in the comments. My close friends are well aware (not quite sure) of my personality. I tend to be the quietest person in a room full of people. Thus, heavy conversations are certainly not my trait. I engage in conversation with the person if our interests align at some point. But I am interested in chatting with that person sitting with me who talks back and we have a fun discussion; not someone who is constantly on his/her....mobile phone. I am putting forth my observations, Whenever I wander around for lunch or dinner in hotels, I see these kind of people everywhere, I repeat everywhere. Imagine sitting at the table with 3-4 people, yet someone c...

Does others' Opinions Matter?

Image
"Ah!! There you are again." What do you make up of this tone, the user is annoyed to welcome you. But this is not the same case with me, as I am here to welcome fellow readers and let us talk (blog) on a very general topic. A topic which most of the people in the world face. It is none other than "What will others say??" A Harsh Reality Check: Let me emphasize a thing. I have been with multiple people, of course, each with a different personality. We have to live life with the person accordingly after analyzing or should I say "reading" his/her mind. Let me discuss a few examples of people. 1) A person who has strong opinions Some people I met had a very strong opinion about a particular thing. The fact that it is so strong that they never admit its shortcomings. We must have observed this kind of person everywhere; in fact in each of our friend circles. Such kinds of person never change their opinion. They don't tend to think about their group's o...

Image
 "No!! YOU AGAIN!!" Oh, I am sorry. I was angry. Just kidding. This is how most people react when someone approaches them after having a tremendously horrible day.

Hax and Fax: How I managed to reduce my screen time

Image
 Dear Readers, as the titles Hax (Hacks) and Fax (Facts) suggest, you might think "Here comes yet another blogger discussing the disadvantages of mobile phone devices." That's not the fact here to be utterly honest. In this blog post, I will share some Hacks which I managed to incorporate to reduce my screen time of mobile drastically. Also, I will share some Facts that might help a bit too. What do we tend to do in our free time nowadays? We either scroll through social media sites or play games online on the phone. Although this is the same thing I do, I would suggest keeping the usage limited and not too much. Not long ago, I suffered a severe headache in the backside of my head, implying that it was a kind of pressure on the eyes. Even though I keep wearing blue ray glasses, it became unbearable at a point.

The Subtle Art of being Pretentious

Image
 We might have come across multiple scenarios in life in which we might come across many people who always love to brag about themselves. They might crack silly jokes, or humiliate someone across the group for no reason even though they themselves are not very capable. Usually, pretentious people act smart so as to impress someone. Though this acting isn't real, in some cases, it might feel real to their target (whom they are trying to impress). In social circles, being labeled as pretentious is often seen as a social faux pas. It’s a trait that many try to avoid, fearing the judgment and disdain of others. However, what if I told you that there's a way to harness the power of pretentiousness as a clever hack to navigate complex situations? Yeah seriously, well many people might seem to consider this as a negative trait in some people but there is an art, an art in which only a fraction of people are experts. In this blog, we will try to look into the great uses of this negativ...

Decoding the fondness of Nostalgia

Image
 Imagine walking down an old video game store on your way to the office. You see a group of kids playing games inside. The moment you see them, you tend to go back in time and process your old memories. Okay leave that, walking further, you see another group of kids playing gully cricket. Once again you go back in time and try to remember you had no worries (apart from doing school homework of course), and you have lived the best time of your lives way earlier. This feeling of going back in time (or I must say good times), is defined as Nostalgia. When someone says about Nostalgia, it basically means going back down memory lane, reminiscing old times. Sometimes I too go back into my childhood and imagine the time when the lights were out, there were no mobile phones, and no investors to handle power cuts. We would light up candles, and people from the society used to gather around and talk. Big Men one group, Ladies one group, Kids one group like that we used to gather and discuss ...
