Mahabharata has seen ferocious female characters right from Ganga to Gandhari ; Hidimba to Ahilawati ; Kunti to Draupadi. The characters knew how to make their voice count , had numerous vardaans and some were just mystical beings. However, the Mahabharata war ( originally known as the Jaya war ) can be loosely considered a consequence of the impulsiveness of these female characters. Starting from Satyavati , the second wife of Shantanu ( the father of Bhishma Pitamah) - Satyavati was a daughter of a fishermen. Although , she loved Shantanu she was insecure about the future of her children ( who hadn't taken birth till now). She wanted her sons to sit on the throne but this desire of hers was threatened by Bhishma or Devratt , as he was known in his earlier days. To save his father's love and to make her step mother feel secure , Devratt vowed to stay a slave to the throne of Hastinapur , never become the king and observe celibacy. Though, Satyavati was sat...

DIY's are always fun , even though I fail at them many times still , I won't stop painting around random objects. Yesterday , I painted this kullad I randomly found to convert it into a pen stand kind of thing. I used acrylic colours and brustro fineliners. and finally, This was a really simple DIY and it took me around one hour to do this one. This kullad can now be used as a pen stand or maybe a tissue Holder. Previously , I customized an ugly pair of shoes -  https://delightedhumans.blogspot.com/2020/01/create-cool-stuff-with-absolute-trash.html?m=1 Do you have a DIY you want to show to the world ?

My metro card lies in one corner of my messy almirah , it hasn't travelled for days. I definitely miss the frequent trips to Nehru Place , McDonald's and dilli ke momos and random trips around the city with my college friends.  Now , we have been quarantined for so long that mental health is not even a thing anymore. Desperately waiting for everything to be normal again. Check out my YouTube Channel-  https://youtu.be/KcQIg33h4wE

I wrote about the Dalgona coffee in my previous post (https://delightedhumans.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-quarantine-journal-part-1.html?m=1) and the reactions I got were hilarious. Correcting the recipe Step 1-  Coffee shaming Step 2 - Mixer mai chalao     Step 3- yes, now it's ready ( A not so Dalgona coffee) ( This course of action was taken by my friend xD) I kept my dalgona in the fridge and waited for it to disappear magically.  Some comments - The Dalgona coffee is the worst form of peer pressure that can ever exist. Stay safe , stay indoors and DO NOT MAKE DALGONA COFFEE , however tempting it might seem. P.S - Quarantine mai itna overreaction toh chalta hai bro.

The corona - time , sorry the "quarantine" has been "lousy" on some days and fun on the others. Modi ji ke task , suffocating mask ; Netflix and chill and you might be killed - here is a small quarantine journal* * For entertainment purposes only  " Taali bajao - thaali bajao" - week 1 "Diya , candle , torch jalao" - week 2 However , stupid things may sound but all we need right now is HOPE and if this gives us hope, what's better?  Also , accept it or not - these small moments of happiness mean a lot in a gloomy situation like this.   Waiting for the next task? Week 1 - sleep , eat , Netflix , repeat Week 1 was fun ; something different from our hectic routine. I felt relieved. Board and card games found their way in - uno , ludo , carrom and chess.  Week 2 ( 1st half) - Butter chicken , golgappe , chole bature pleasee also weird instagram challenges kick in If you are a foodie , you would know the feelin...

Different people have different expectations from the society and the government. The expectation , however might be RATIONAL or IRRATIONAL. Considering the present scenario , different groups want things to happen differently - 1. The daily wage workers are worried about their wages. 2. Factory owners are worried about the high maintenance costs that may arise after lockdown. 3. Business owners are out of business. 4. The online classes for school and college students are NOT as effective as they seem. So , how do we decide the course of action?  Let me give you a philosophical point of view. John Rawls , a philosopher gave the idea of the "veil of ignorance".  The veil of ignorance is an idea that talks about how we should FOR ONCE not recognise ourselves with any group , circumstances and IGNORE who we are. We should sit behind the VEIL , the veil of ignorance and look at the situations. It is then we would be able to see a rational point of view. By being IGNORANT about o...

Quarantine day infinity - the whole country has been locked down and we are literally stuck in our homes now for 21 more days.  Some comforting songs to make you feel better- 1. Pause by Prateek Kuhad If you like Prateek Kuhad's songs , you would definitely love this one. This one is not as popular as his other songs but is comforting and soothing in its own way. 2. Counting Stars cover  This cover of "counting stars " by One Republic has about 111 MILLION views on YouTube and I even feel that the cover is better than the original. (sorry if you got offended xD) 3. Choo loo - The Local Train Listen to this beautiful song by The Local Train 4. Baarishein - Anuv Jain If you like Prateek Kuhad's music , you would love this one too. Also, new artists are coming up with original and really good music. Give this one a try if you haven't heard it. 5. Nawazishein Karam -Pakistan Coke Studio Pakistani ...
