    Mahesh replied to the topic Do you prefer horror than tragic movies? in the forum Group logo of EntertainmentEntertainment 7 years, 7 months ago

    I think horror movies can be sad. Also horror movies can be tragic. For example, movies such as wrong turn, final destination. They can be bad. But often people watch them for thrill instead of horror aspect. I think I would still prefer horror movies. The reason being horror has lot to offer to this world. And there are some of the interesting…[Read more]

    Mahesh wrote a new post, Never Rely on one Thing for Long 7 years, 7 months ago

    This is one lesson that reminded me of all my bad times. I learned that I should never rely on one resource for long time. There is no way one can make things meet with one resource at a time. It can be fatal if […]

    • As the river water which keeps flowing until it reaches sea or ocean is fresh because there is movement which means constant and continuous change taking place that is the reason why it remains pure and clean. Similarly if we are stuck to one particular in our life like an actor playing just one role in his life there is no growth in his or her career graph. This same pattern can be found in many things seen in life.

      If change takes place it gets a new sense of perspective to the mind so new thoughts and thought patterns develop out of which something new and good or bad is created on how one directs one mind or in what direction does one direct his or her mind. We generally make the constant into our comfort zone and are uncomfortable getting out of the zone. This again is not a good thing as even this hinders growth as movement which is forward leads to growth. Thanks for the share.

    • Nothing in this world is constant except change, as the saying goes. And this is very true.

      Imagine, here in our place a rich family has a long distance call business and was flourishing before the emergence of cellphones.

      But with the emergence of cellphones, long distance telephone company went down and so with those telegraph companies.

      It being this way, we should be ready for change when it comes. Embrace it and try to adapt to the change. It will be difficult initially but over time when you are accustomed to it, you will like it.

    • Nothing in this world is permanent, we are all on a journey and we all know that journeys can have detours right? So if you in this world just know that there will be changers in your life all the time. Today you may have money tomorrow you are broke. All this things happen for a very good reason. They come to teach us that stuff comes and goes we can never hold onto something forever. It’s not only in material stuff even our human life we have the day when we’re born and there will be a day when we die so we cannot say for sure that we have our lives intact.they will one day end. When it comes to jobs, we can never tell how long we will have them, a day will certainly come when we will find something better and more interesting to move onto. So in short change is good, and doing multiple things is to your advantage.

    Mahesh wrote a new post, Running out of Ideas is Painful 7 years, 7 months ago

    This year I am in the phase of running out of ideas. I am not sure what are some of the things that can be done to get some ideas. I have videos to make but I have no idea which topic to choose from. I have […]

    • When I post, I don’t read others posts about it here. I would only get to know about others post about the same topic too, when they appear at the bottom of my submitted post.

      But then, I have a different style of writing and have lots of other ideas to tell the readers.

      When I ran out of ideas, I just comment. Then , when I am rested already I think of what to post here and jot it down on my phone. Then, I would expound on it when I already have the time and the right mood.

    • when i post i like to see what others answer to the post after i read the post, it gives me idea how to express and also communicate with others, i guess we never run of ideas, its only some times the ideas are not well enough to express them in a post or the idea is not big to make it a topic in here or the ideas it self is not of interest to us and sometimes you think its not of interst to other writers or viewers, but the thing as long as you are alive there are ltos of stories and ideas in the living room in the garden and in the bathrooms, so just try to find an idea here or there and expand it, that is what i do, no one is perfect sometimes your ideas will not be like by some and sometimes the ides that you my write only tow rite maybe not liked by you but lik3d by some others readers. sometimes i say something i don;t like jsut to talk to my family and i like it when they like it and we talk about then about it due to that they added information to it and added to it. I guess people never out of ideas to share or write about everywhere in the world

    Mahesh wrote a new post, What Jealousy Can Do to your Life 7 years, 7 months ago

    I think biggest problem with your life is the jealousy. And you can’t get much from the life if you remain jealous all the time. You can see that many people are spending their life working harder to achieve the […]

    • Jealousy can consume a person. When one is jealous of another person, it shows that the other person is better thus it makes the jealous person, feel depressed.

      Because she is jealous, she could concoct lies to discredit the person she’s jealous of.

      For lovers, jealousy can be fatal. There are cases that because of unfounded jealousy the other partner was killed by the jealous lover.

      Though, for lovers a little jealousy is nice. It makes them closer once the jealousy is addressed. 🙂

    • Jealousy is a bad thing. people who tend to be jealous of others do not go far in life because they use up all their energy thinking of how good someone else’s life is. I doubt if I can envy someone, I will only aspire to be like that person. Jealousy pulls you back, live and let live. It shall be well with you at your own appointed time. All fingers are not equal.

    • Jealousy is definitely a negative state of mind. The anxiety will take place if there are still some chances for getting the things that others have got but you do not. Here, one will put forth one’s best efforts to achieve them. This is the best aspect. This can also be viewed as positive thinking.

      The element of comparison always lies in jealousy. We know pretty well of not getting the things in spite of our best efforts. Still, we want them. We feel the jealousy of others possessing those things which are totally meaning. In this case, it definitely causes depression which ultimately leads to self-destruction.

    • Jealousy is like an instinct.This feeling is inherent in man. It is part of human existence and no one can hide it from him or her for it is part of life. Jealousy is an emotion but controllable for we have the brain to analyze and there are no valid reasons to get wrong because of jealousy. Jealousy if not controlled is like love that kills, yes jealousy kills.

    • Like they say you never know what you are loosing until you loose it. It is very sad to think that her friemds could actually treat a fellow friend the way they did. If they would only be a bit considerate.
      But that is usually a problem when you live like 2 3 in a house or apartment that is bound to happen. There are those who will feel like they arw superior to everyone else. So they may take it that everybody else should do chores but they shouldn’t, that attitude is very annoying. I would expect everyone to take responsibility in the house and also help out whenever need arises. It was unfortunate that keery was no more. The thing is now they are the ones who will have to live with the guilt of doing her wrong. Kerry did her part and she doesn’t have to live with any guilt.

    The Swastika is an important symbol to Hindus, Jains and Buddhists in India and other Asian countries for many thousands of years. This symbol can be seen in many sacred places, temples, books, vehicles. The word […]

    • The ‘Swastika’ used as your featured image looks a lot prettier than the one used by German Nazi soldiers during the wars and by modern day neo-Nazis, Aryan nation and similar hate groups who look down on people of color as being inferior.

    • Hi Barnali,

      That’s a good blog on the meaning and origin of swastika. It was the Nazi under Adolf Hitler who gave swastika a bad connotation when they adopted it as symbol of the Nazi party and I guess that “hated symbol” had a lasting impression on the mind of the people as symbol of oppression and fascism.

      History wise you are right that the swastika symbol is not a bad symbol. Again it is only the NAZI and Hitler who polluted and prostituted the good meaning of the swastika symbol.

      I understand that they even outlawed the Nazi Swastika symbol in Europe due to the many war crimes committed by Nazi Germany especially the holocaust of around 6 million Jews.

      The reverse is true with the cross as a symbol. It used to be that the cross is a symbol of shame, punishment, and death during the olden days especially at the time of the Roman Empire.

      But with the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, for Christians it is no longer a symbol of shame, death and punishment but of salvation and the everything that is associated with our Lord Jesus Christ and Christianity for that matter.

      So we can see how the meaning of a particular symbol may change over time depending upon its usage and the interpretation associated with it.

    • I would love to be able to say that nobody really cares. I have no doubt that most, if not all of US would just like to get on with the business of making America better (cause it’s already great!).

      But the fact is, while campaigning ~ Trump, the POTUS candidate, created the “Trump-Putin question marks” by putting his own foot in his own mouth. His own words followed him into the White House.

      The questions about Russian interference should be answered and not hovering over his administration like a huge gray cloud. A GIANT BLUR!! I’m sorry but it’s just not how to run one of the greatest free nations on the planet. The USA should have clear blue skies and beautiful rainbows; and not dark clouds, ominous shadows, and a “questionable atmosphere”.

      Is it too much to ask of any elected U.S. official to MAKE PLAIN to the citizens of this country, who our true allies are and who our real enemies are that threaten US or … who meddle in our affairs? I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request.

    • The question that I ask; how stupid are people? If someone said that our Prime Minister was an X or influenced by Y, or if all kind of articles appeared in fake news sites about him, we’d snort it away. That is because we think for ourselves.
