Book covers

 Hello everybody! Hope you are doing good. A few minutes ago, I was, as usually, sitting quiet, mingled with my thoughts, and noticed something really..uhm..you might say obvious, but it is something really important too.

They say, "Don't judge a book by its cover", but does it really count? Like readers on writing platforms like Pratilipi or Watpadd are more attracted to a book having cover page than the ones which don't have a cover.

Even somewhat bright or say appealing coverpage is what attracts new readers, because apps show a small image of our coverpage while recommending our book on its pages and recommendations to new readers, which must subconsciously ask them to tap on our book and read it. 

Well, I have beautiful covers for all my books, and they are attractive too, but none of my readers ever commented on them, so I think, after tapping on a beautifully crafter coverpage, story inside plays more important role.

I focused on the literal meaning than the actual learning behind this statement, and concluded that people do judge books by their covers as covers makes the first impression but the content inside is way more important and needed to be beautified equally.

The more you like it, the easier you lose it.

The more you like it, 

                                  the easier you lose it. 

Our lives are full of desires and dreams. Everyone wants something or another, some day or in the near future. Some are waiting to make their dreams come true, while some have left it all to destiny or time.

No matter how big or small our dreams appear, it feels so good when they come true. I remember how exactly I felt when I got my 10th board results, and I remember that feeling also when I had Pav Bhaji for the first time.

Well, the moment when I saw the rank list and I lost a government medical seat by just a rank, I remember that feeling too. No! I am not dwelling on the past. I just want to emphasize that life has its ups and downs, but there is something to understand while achieving your dreams and desires, which is what the blog post is about.

No doubt, while working or manifesting your desires, one has to believe in the process and practice patience, but it is also true that once the process ends, one must let it go.

Liking and believing are two different feelings. Believing feels peaceful and results in peace most of the time, but liking feels tempting and might result in hurting oneself.

When you believe, you believe in yourself, something, or someone, but when you like, you simply like someone or something by putting yourself at second priority, and that most of the time changes into a crazy feeling where you can act like you are obsessed by that something or someone, and when obsession makes noise, you lose yourself and everything that you like.

The more and more you start liking someone or something, the more and more you increase the chances of losing it early and easily.

Life isn't for that one person or thing that you are crazily liking or obsessed with; it's way more than that. Ease it out! Because getting obsessed with it will make you lose it faster, and you might lose your true self too.

Some wants, some needs.

Some wants, some needs.

Some are trying their luck, and some are working hard. 

Some are waking up with a new to-do list, and some are aimless.

Some are eagerly waiting for their days, and some have given up.

Some are worrying and some are working

Some need motivation, and some are inspiring.

Some need attention, and some are pretending.

Some need family, while some need privacy.

Some want magic, while some are creating it.

Some need comfort, while some need complexity.

Some need peace, while some want to pretend to be at ease.

Some want to cry aloud, and some need peace around.

Some need a motive, while some are just in search of a topic.

Some are evil, and most are devils.

Some want love, and some want just a life.

Some want to escape reality, while some are living in fantasies.

Some want time to stop for them while some are controlling it.

There are so many lovely, unique people living around the globe, and you are one of them. Everyone has something or the other going on in their lives. Don't sweat over small things. Just keep going!

Life and life span is in our hand.

 Death is the ultimate truth, and humans are mortal. Everyone knows that, right? This is something no one can escape from, be it the richest-wealthiest person on Earth or any roadside beggar. No matter how good medical services are, everyone has to die one day, that's for sure.

We can't control our birth place, birth time, day or date, or not even our parents. But what we can control is, our life and life span. Life span is the number of years between your birth and death, and that can be controlled.

Yeah, you read it right. WE CAN CONTROL OUR LIFE SPANS, rather, WE CAN ADJUST OUR DEATHS. We, humans, are homeothermous, warm-blooded animals; we can regulate our body temperature. We, humans, have THE most developed brains that can adapt to and solve complex problems. 

Mother Earth is being governed and used by us humans, that too, both brutally and goodly. We are supreme. But some of us take these evolutionary benefits for granted. 

Some people die suddenly and abruptly, leaving their loved ones, stressed and guessing the cause of their deaths. And honestly, it feels miserable, listening to the left ones, complaining.

It feels like one invites his or her death by not paying attention to his or her health and habits when they are alive. Well, this sounds rude, but this is true, if not wholly, then say partially.

Daily or even twice a week exercising, simply walking or jogging, meditating, trying to have a balanced diet, taking care of hygiene, preventing vector growth, proper sanitation, and vaccination can help one to increase their life span.

And just as the research-based study says, 'Regular physical activity is associated with an increase in life expectancy by 0.4 to 6.9 years', and the famous kindergarten proverb, 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away' we must take care of ourselves, move a bit, and have nutritious food, to not only safe gaurd and extend our lives, but also take care of our loved ones, as far as we can.

Challenge completed 😊

 January 15, 2024

I completed 50+ parts of Sharma Verma yesterday. I feel sooooooo good. Well, I successfully completed the Pratilipi Fellowship Writing Challenge 2.0..

I have got 580+ reads so far, and 175+ ratings, all 5★s. This was the first time, I continued writing with an aim. Earlier, writing fiction was somewhere in the corner of my mind waiting for 'ONE DAY', but that one day never came..

UNTIL July 2023, after my third attempt and facing brutal failure. Haha! Its gone, no? It took me a year to get over the shock, I got two years ago..

I think, taking up this challenge after 'Short Story' competition, helped me a lot. I had learnt a lot and improved too, I suppose, in case of writing skills. I feel happy when I get a follower, and even overwhelmed when someday I get a review, telling that they liked my work..

I have been more drawn towards studying and trying to stay happy, from the day, I started writing and gaining views. Yeah! They are just 1100 in total but still I feel like they are the fruit of the seed I sow whenever I type for the next part..

A lot have been going on, and a lot might be there to come, but now that I started this series, and successfully published it till 50+ parts, I will continue to write..

Last two years of preparation with total studies and minimum workouts, writings, cricket, and audio books, changed me into a boring, depressive person. And I do regret cornering them, because the thing for which I cornered them wasn't even fruitful, I still lost the competition, no?

So this time, the last time, I would not just study but also BE ME. I won't just keep myself dumped in books and learning, but also find myself, the one, I used to be in school times..a bit happy, optimistic and bindass! 😂😊
