From shadows to the stars

A few days ago, I met the One. You know , the One who could've (should) been my life partner. But astonishingly, she didn't seem to think she was. Okay, I see your point, dear reader. You don't understand, let me explain. Let me back up a little bit. I was introduced to a girl recently. A normal girl. By that l, I mean decently attractive, looked like she had a functional brain. I must confess, when I set eyes upon her, I did not think she was the One. Hello, I am Amrit, I said and stretched out my hand. She told me her name and reached to shake my hand. Something amazing happened. At the moment our fingers touched, we both received a shock. Buzz! Then, I realised, we were partners in the past life. We were meant to be partners in this life too. Haven't we all seen films, I mean when that happens, it's a sign from God, obviously. Divine omen So I immediately got down to my knees and popped the question. I realise I am a 22 year old who is barely set

I have found that on the Internet, there are some mildly influential and popular people, whose only job is to create controversial and 'outrageous' content. I like to term these people as 'the outragers'. They create content that for your average person, holds content that is 'horrible', 'disgusting' or 'outrageous'.

The article, person ay have 'trended' on Twitter and other social media for a while. Later, everything went back to normal and everyone was happier. The websit

The way to get a girl is by pretending that you don’t want to ‘get her’. In this weirdly beautiful country of mine, asking a girl out is not so simple and straightforward. If you walk up to a girl and say, “Hey, I like you. Would you like to go on a date with me?” she would look at you as if you just asked her to marry her (although, if you really do ask that question, it might work out better, provided you meet some made up criteria like belonging to the same caste, blah, blah). Telling a girl that you are attracted to her or you find her beautiful is not the right thing to do here. You would scare her off. Apparently, this is not how things are done, as I once found out the hard way. What you should do instead, is pretend that you don’t like her. You are not attracted to her. Just to be sure, tell her that you find her repulsive (okay, that might be taking it too far). Then she will be okay with you talking to her, getting closer to her. Cuz you know, you’re just fr
