I wonder how an old person feels when he or she narrates his or her life experiences with someone younger to them.Do they feel good that they have overcome so many obstacles in their lives or do they feel bad,thinking that their life has almost come to an end.Don't they feel afraid? Or are they thrilled thinking of what to come next.Maybe they just submit to their fate.I wonder how a transgender feels seeing the other two genders.Is the feeling is of jealousy mixed with pain or do they just feel that they need to accept themselves as they are and try to find happiness in it.Is it really possible for them to find happiness?I wonder how a baby feels when it tries to communicate with the environment and is unable to speak words but is only able to produce sound.All of us have passed this stage but none of us remember it.The feeling is perhaps the same as a person trying it hard to adjust in the world where he feels like an alien and is unable to communicate in its terms.I wonder how ...

It has already been two years in my college and I have already come out wiser than I was.The books I have read definitely helped me a lot to become a better person and by reading I mean not only blindly memorizing but understanding every minute meaning and observing the various interpretations and later on pondering over them.But here I will not only talk about the books but also people from whom I have learned so many things.I have learned that most of the people will be sweet to you to gain your confidence only to deceive you later,they will take favours from you and won't even bother to remember them but will continuously remind you of the 'good' they have done to you,they will envy you even if you had had the smallest of achievements and then corner you for no particular reason and most importantly will not even think twice to hurt you in some way or the other if that will mean a small victory for them and in turn will give them some fun(I define it as temporary happin...
