Something to think about...

People are not dumb. They are smart. The irony is...

Okay, what am I talking about ?

Let's go out for a walk in the market.

What do you see ?

You see girls.

Now look at all those stalls selling street food. Quite busy stalls.

Can you see the Pizza Hut ?

Let's get a little closer, we have to see something.

Do you see the fat guy holding a gym bag ?

He probably just came after a gym session. Look what he is ordering.

A pizza.

Not JUST a pizza.

A pizza with added cheese & coca cola.

Now see what he will do after getting the pizza box.

He is reading the ingredients & calory content in the box. I told you, people aren't dumb.

Do you see what he found ?

Ofcourse you don't. You are with me & you are watching him from a distance.

No worry. We can google it.

Searched "total calories in a medium sized cheese pizza"

Result "Nearly 2000 calories"

So the guy perhaps lost 400/500 calories in gym & now he is reading that the pizza has 2000 calories.

Now, listen what his friend is telling him while he is reading the box.

"This is the 3rd time in this week you are eating pizza" said his friend.

"This is the last time. It won't happen again" the guy stressed each word he said.

However, if you can read his friend's face you will know that he already knows what will happen in few days.

But he has to go with a promise. A promise, only few days away from being shattered again.

Finally, the (fat) guy has earned the license to enjoy a 2000 calory pizza. I told you, he is smart. He is good with words. He can persuade himself to do anything he wants (ofcourse, if that is pleasing)

Back to pizza.

Watch what happens next.

I am assuming he knows that he needs to lose more calories for losing weight.

Look what he is doing.

He just dumped it inside his mouth with a face full of satisfaction.

Like I said, people are not dumb. They are smart. The irony is, they just ACT dumb.

3 Ways to Pick Non-Fiction Books for a Fun Reading Experience

If you are reading this then I am assuming you have come accross few books in past & looking forward to lift your reading a notch higher. So what do you think about reading ? How that experience of holding a book & reading it all by yourself inside a calm room sounds like ? Fun, right ? Hell no. Opposed to scrolling Netflix & Instagram, the idea of putting down your head over a book already sounds quite geeky, which could be described as the opposite of fun. But is there any way to make it fun ? Ofcourse. You can have a coffee. You can sit over a comfortable chair with a comfy cushion inside a home whose doors give way to a cool green balcony. That's the decoration part. But there is something more important than decoration & that's the secret. It's fun ONLY IF YOU PICK THE BOOKS RIGHT FOR YOU . Read that sentence again. I didn't say "Pick the RIGHT BOOKS" I said "Pick the books RIGHT FOR YOU". Got it ? Now that's what ma

An Underrated Aspect of Waking Up Early : Backed by Experiment

Welcome ! This is a blog post that tackles an issue almost 80% people deal with : WAKING UP EARLY. Now given the kind of lifestyle our generation is exposed to, it's no wonder why sleeping on time & waking up early feels like an ordeal of infinite magnitude. Sadly, like many others, I have felt it all my life & rarely succeeded. Now there are hundreds of explanations about how to do that effectively. There is the role of diet, exercise, surrounding temperature, sound etc. But there is one parameter that's arguably most dominant : LIGHT, specifically SUNLIGHT. Prof./Podcaster, Andrew Huberman is by far the biggest supporter of this notion on social media. He has repeatedly emphasized the role of SUNLIGHT when it comes to waking up early (& also sleeping early). According to science, when we are exposed to light of higher intensity there is reduction in melatonin (sleep hormone) & rise of cortisol (hormone during activity). So, better the intensity better th

Concept of Marriage : Getting Clarity through Confusion

Marriage has been a deeply confusing topic from the beginning of civilization. As soon as you hit a certain age, you have to make a decision. A big scary DECISION. Getting married or not ? Now here I have cited most of the common reasons why people marry. Hope you will agree. But that's not the point of this post. The point is to get clarity over why we do it. And I think, there is no better way to understand something without questioning the very foundation of what we think to be correct. So, without further ado, let's dive in & think through some questions, which I believe, are hard but worth pondering over. Ready.....Steady.....Go. 1) Some do it for physical, mental & emotional fulfilment Don't you feel fulfilled now ? How do you know marriage will make you fulfilled ? Is this fulfilment just an IDEA or a real thing ? 2) Some actually don't need it presently, still do it so that they will have a child who will take care of them in older days What if
