FRIENDS VS HIMYM As minds who've matured during the growing age of tv shows we have seen some really interesting genres unfold. From the sixties till the eighties, Hollywood gave us laugh riots with the likes of the Dick van Dyke Show , Mary Tyler Moore Show , Cheers , Golden Girls and its spinoff Empty Nest , and I Love Lucy . However the nineties brought forward a new type of era for TV and especially comedy with shows like Friends , Mad About You , and Everybody loves Raymond . The tides changed as a greater significance for youth came into the picture. The main game changer was Friends which took youth everywhere by storm with the proper depiction of how each and every one of us face issues like unrequited love, failed marriages, divorce, short term relationships, and bad breakups during our 20s. Friends  is one of the first shows to bring out the concept of fandoms and was a one of a kind dose of life to which each and every one can relate to. The magic was and ...

If you have the necessary interest and talent but cannot figure out the right way, this article is just for you! Some of us love to read stories from various genres and imagine ourselves as a writer because we know that we are apt for it.

GENERAL GUILDLINES: HOW TO BEGIN YOUR STORY?       You can begin with a beautiful but compact description of a person.       You can include an interesting dialogue.       You can even introdu...

Let’s Talk About This Let’s talk! Something we rarely do nowadays. There are so many cases of depression nowadays. Depression has been termed as so many different things over the years. Some say it’s a “disease”. We live in a society where we term anything neurological to be mean the same thing:      She has a mental problem!                OR          She’s weird! TAKE A MOMENT TO DEFINE The main definition calls depression to be a “state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts.” Nothing mental about that. It’s a situation more than a condition. People with a condition have an inability to be functional, people with depression are not like that all. They find it hard to fit in. It is a shortcoming that we fail to understand sometimes that people with depression, social anxiety, and so on are no different from...

Poetry. Love. Sufi. What is the first name that pops in your head when you read these three words? –RUMI. That’s what comes to me, and I’m pretty sure that’s the name which strikes most of you as well. But Rumi as we know him, was not always the same. He was a scholar, a preacher who led a secure life, admired and loved by all. He was not a poet. He was not a Sufi. “Glory be to God, an ocean is walking behind a lake.” And then he met Shams of Tabriz. The wandering dervish became not just his companion but a mirror to his soul. Their relationship became a victim of slander, malicious gossip and Rumi’s once unimpeachable reputation was destroyed. Familial strife, enmity and innumerable hardships later, as Rumi unlearned everything he knew, he became the one he was meant to be. A Poet. A Sufi. A Lover. Elif Shafak describes this wild beauty of love, the meaning of life, the tests to find true love, the way to peace and a lot, lot more through her magnificent w...

Kiss of the Lilac As she faded away in non-existence A hug came to me in fantasy Few sparkles of ceremonious giggles Lighting up chrysanthemum in a little glass “You are among my cluster of thoughts” In a garden of metered maleficence A true embodiment of gifted lilac Entrusted by the heart on it’s bloom Impertinent and immoral, wasted by cruelty sweet I took a quick glance before the eyes would meet Proudly I dared look into her compressed mirror Colors bounced between convex edges Artful than the impression that Gogh did forget Menacingly beautiful as she took the turn A celibacy of uncountable dark attractions at that A pact of resentful urgencies that cluelessly burn Puppet intentions, I took a peel of what I could take The soft edges of mysticism exchanged by a shake As she curled into his pages, stinging with her straight hair so folly Her eyes showed the way towards Eden, spreading enamour so jolly “I love her like anything”, greeneries of tho...

A SOUND REVIEW The hills are alive with the sound of music………it’s been so long since you’ve heard that isn’t it? Truly it is a film that really doesn’t fail to deliver. It keeps you glued to your seats handling the emotion and then gets you up and dancing to melody next minute. Sound of Music is one of the many films that defined the sixties for us, along with My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins. The movies of those times really echoed the motto that if you’re going through a bad time or if you’re in a troubled situation, sing about it. Let it flow out in music. The emotion is on an entirely different level entirely due to the correct way that it was done, something that has died down over the years. The Von Trapps while learning how to sing and dance teach us about the versions of ourselves that are buried deep within ourselves. There are many who are shy, childish and soft spoken like Gretl; cute and curious like Marta; and especially every single one of us has been through a...
