Back On Track

Many days have passed by without a proper post in TheWackyHeads. Our authors have become lazy (me, being the best one at that) or have lost interest in writing, we still haven’t figured that out yet! But the undeniable fact is that we all have become busy with our college lives (that’s the best excuse we could think of to give to each other and to our visitors). The main problem that we discovered lately is that we aren’t motivated well enough. We write a post, it gets some likes from Facebook junta and barely a comment or two. We are human beings, we have our expectations. - Read More -

We want our creation to progress, to step up and move ahead in the competition. This thing didn’t happen. Our Google PageRank was invalid for almost 6 months since we started TheWackyHeads, and Alexa rank was beyond 25 million. Still we worked our ass off on this project of ours. Some days passed by and our PageRank advanced to ZERO, and Alexa rank somewhat near to 18 million. This was a short boost for a tiny moment. Then days passed by but nothing improved. The ZERO and 18 million became constants in our life. That was the actual reason for our inactivity.

Days turned to weeks, and weeks to months. We kept on promising that we’ll write tomorrow. Procrastination was of God-Level. Then yesterday out of the blue I checked the PageRank of our blog, and voila!

We’ve added screenshots from three different sources just to convince ourselves that this isn’t a dream :D

Next up, I checked our Alexa ranking, and again…


And finally our stance in IndiBlogger…


That made a nice threesome for us here at TheWackyHeads :)

This is the moment we were all waiting for. We have been kicked hard on our backs after seeing these statistics. And no excuses shall prevail this time :)

This was the best new year gift that you all (our readers) could have offered!

Signing off with a note from the wackiest heads in this planet…


:D Keep rocking guys! YOU FUEL US. And we’re back on track.

The King of Procrastination

Procrastination is defined as -something that I shall tell you later on-, or, It is the act of replacing high priority actions with that of lower ones. (I was too lazy to write my own definition, so I copied it from Wikipedia.) It is a vicious cycle of guilt and wastage of time. You feel you are screwed, you feel like you are digging up holes for yourself on your own road of life, still you keep on doing it. You try to resist yourself from doing so, but you realize only once you have completed doing it up. And it is always too late, you cannot undo the whatever you did, nor that you can spend more time on repenting over it. It’s just ‘What is done is already done and I am totally screwed’. But you don’t care.

The story of Procrastination so far…

November 29, 2012: It’s been a long time since I have wrote something up here. I shall write today. *2 hours later* Tomorrow shall be good I guess.

December 1: Aah! A day late, well there is always time. Tomorrow.

December 3: I have my re-mid-semesters from today.  I shall write once my exams are complete.

December 13: So exams are finally over. :)  I shall write the post today.* Spends the whole day watching Fringe, White Collar, wasting time in Facebook and etc.* Tomorrow it is then..

December 20th: I should write it today. But, End semesters are on 22nd and I have a hell of a lot of course to finish off! *Spends the whole day watching TV shows and movies*

December 30th: So finally end semesters is over, I can write something using my free mind now! *Gets Drunk, Spends all the time on random stuff on Internet*. Tomorrow. Maybe.

December 31st (Morning): I shall write it once I reach back home, it shall be my last post for this year. A nice way to end the year.

December 31st (Evening): I shall write on night, just before the new year starts. :) *Spends watching stuff and reading novel.* The first post of year tomorrow.

January 1st: I am going to write it today definitely.  Hell yes. By any means. *Watches TV Shows, reads Novels, spends time in Quora, and a little bit in Facebook.*

January 11th:  Friend posts something here today. Inspired. I shall write today. *Sleeps Early.*

January 13th: I am going to write today. But on what topic? A vacant mind is all that I have. Oh wait. That term, let’s write on what I have activity I have been indulging myself in since the Past Month. Procrastination. That evil Bastard!

So Procrastination, can it be avoided? Can someone spend a life without procrastinating? Can someone utilize all of the time he has properly? Hell NO. I would like to steal down few sentences from another post by one another Procrastinating Creature.

“Nothing in this world is absolute, no machine is fully efficient, no gas is ideal, no human is non-flawed and no marriage is perfect. Hence the idea of a non-procrastinating creature is completely eliminated. “  I shall strengthen up my point by using a quote by  later at some point. Damn.

The main reason behind this damn thing called Procrastination, is that, we think we are genius, clever, brilliant, intelligent <–Insert more-shitty-objectives-here-coz-I-am-lazy–> creatures. Most of us think we are best when we are absolutely not. Everybody (Common) thinks that his ideas and thoughts are completely unique till he/she reaches 21, or simply falls down too many times to finally realize it. We spend most time on classes without writing notes, thinking that we can remember them. Most of us don’t study until the day before exam, thinking that we can cover the whole course in one day. But then again, we don’t. The laptop is in the verge of dying, same is for phone. It’s kind of yelling “A-Hole why don’t you put me in charge” in it’s language, but we don’t. We don’t even bother to change the random name of a random file in our computer. You like a link in the internet, but  you still don’t bookmark it. I might have written more, but then again, I won’t. We wonder of going to the moon, while we are only sitting in the toilet applying pressure in our stomach to let shit out. Yes, it’s life, it’s procrastination.

Bothering, that’s what Procrastination is completely not based at all. You think you are awesome, you dream of amazing things, innovative ideas, creative shit, but all that goes in vain. You have a spirit, but you still lack it. Motivation is just an imaginary word. A thing that you can never achieve, but you think you have plenty. ‘Thoughts’ are just a synonym for ‘Work’. There exists nothing such as priority. It never did, It never shall.

However, there are advantages of procrastinating too. Many of them are unimaginably creative, irrespective of the mere fact that they don’t use it. Maybe in future Somebody shall invent a mind control machine, and procrastinators are going to rule the world. Maybe.

It’s true that Procrastination is just like Masturbation, in the end you are Just Screwing Yourself only, but then again, You don’t care. You Procrastinate.You always remain high on Procrastination.

Procrastination

Some Nights…

All nights are not the same, all nights you don’t get the same cheery dreamy eyes or a blissful night sleep. Some nights you are just empty, drifting away into a sea of thoughts, lost in your memory searching for reasons of your existence and condemning yourself with all that you’ve got. We all have been there. Some of us are there tonight, some of us were yesterday and some will be there tomorrow. Whatever we feel in these nights is entirely not the truth but these nights help us realising various facets of our life.

In these nights as time passes by everything seems wrong in our lives. You dive into your mind and you find no “real” friends. You want to convince yourself that you are not alone. And in the process you end up texting all the important persons in your contact list. But this is not an ordinary night, is it? As not expected, no one replies. Even if a few do, no one even gets the basic hint of the pain you are in. - Read More -

Someone just blabbers away their day’s achievements while someone ends up giving you one word replies. So? After the futile attempt of establishing connection you get back to square one. No “real” Friends.

After this starts a series of flashbacks. You think about every rude thing anyone has said to you and with every hit your heart sinks a foot lower. You feel guilty, cheated and obviously all alone in this whole wide world. You think of the person that once said “Baby, I will never forget to tell you anything”, now doesn’t even care to tell she found her long lost love. The person who told “I am so addicted that I can’t live a minute without you” hasn’t spoken since the past three months. Someone who had said “Dude, You will be the first to see my girlfriend” has not yet informed even after their first anniversary. Friends have gone, people have changed. Family seems foreign, you don’t want to talk with anyone. Reason? “They won’t understand. They never do.” Without your realisation, your eyes get wet and remain so till you drift off to sleep.

These “Nights” teach us many things. They are basically the “Reality Checks” for our “Dreamy lives”. No one’s life is perfect. Yours is not too. People will change, situations will make them to. But life goes on, for basically two things: A few friends and Something that always remain constant, The Family. The ones that appear not understanding us remain right from the time we stand on our tiny little feet till the time we fall off them. And Yes Friends go, but a few of them stay. And our life is a hell lot better because of them. These “nights” make us feel “alone”, just to realise the importance of those few who stay…

Love your family,

And the friends who matter.

As they’re only ones who,

Will remember you after.

Life,Love,Friends,Family

EpisOde oNe.

That ‘thought’ struck at some very spurring moment, while gulping down the foodstuffs, in a messy mess, crowded with tables, chairs, fans, jugs, glasses etc etc. It may be bit ironical in a sense………..but, it’s a place which is surrounded with half a dozen sign boards which bluntly converses as, ‘Do not waste food’ & over & above also supporting & backing with boards saying ‘Save food’. Still, casually & as usual, just revolving thoughts around that unusual thought of……………….‘starving foOdie’…………….So moving back to the theme, taking the glimpses of a foOdie & his starve for food.

‘Food’ is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin & contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism’s cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting & gathering, & agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry. The right to food is a human right derived from the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), recognizing the “right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food”, as well as the “fundamental right to be free from hunger”.

Most food has its origin in plants. Some food; around 2,000 plant species which are cultivated for food, is obtained directly from plants; but even animals that are used as food sources are raised by feeding them food derived from plants. Cereal grain is a staple food that provides more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. Seeds are typically high in unsaturated fats and, in moderation, are considered a health food, although not all seeds are edible. Large seeds, such as those from a lemon, pose a choking hazard, while seeds from apples and cherries contain a poison (cyanide).

Vegetables are a second type of plant matter that is commonly eaten as food. These include root vegetables (potatoes & carrots), bulbs (onion family), leaf vegetables (spinach and lettuce), stem vegetables (bamboo shoots and asparagus), and inflorescence vegetables (broccoli and other vegetables such as cabbage or cauliflower).

Animals are used as food either directly or indirectly by the products they produce. Meat is an example of a direct product taken from an animal, which comes from muscle systems or from organs. Food products produced by animals include milk produced by mammary glands, which is processed into dairy products (cheese, butter etc). In addition, birds and other animals lay eggs, which are often eaten, & bees produce honey, nectar from flowers, which is a popular sweetener in many cultures. Some cultures consume blood, sometimes in the form of blood sausage, as a thickener for sauces, or in a cured, salted form for times of food scarcity.

Having elucidated about foodstuffs; foOdie (sometimes spelled foody) is an informal term for a particular class of aficionado & enthusiast of food & drink. The word was coined in 1981 by Paul Levy and Ann Barr, who used it in the title of their 1984 book ‘The Official FoOdie Handbook’.

Although used interchangeably, foOdies differ from gourmets in that gourmets are epicures of refined taste, whereas foOdies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, news etc. FoOdies are a distinct hobbyist group &their typical interests & activities include the food industry, wineries and wine tasting, breweries and beer sampling, food science, following restaurant openings and closings and occasionally reopenings, food distribution, food fads, health and nutrition, cooking classes, culinary tourism, and restaurant management. Many publications have food columns that cater to foOdies and many of the websites carrying the name foOdie have become popular amongst the foOdies.

Moving a step further, ‘Fooding’ is the brand of a restaurant guide and gastronomic events; is a contraction of the words “food” and “feeling”, the Fooding aims to “defend a less-intimidating gastronomy for those who want to cook and nourish themselves in an unstuffy fashion”. The Fooding’s mission across its editorial activities and events is to liberate cuisine from the traditional codes and conventions that confine it, to give chefs the possibility of expressing themselves more fully, and to give contemporary eaters a true taste of the times. It emphasizes “the appetite for novelty and quality, rejection of boredom, love of fun, the ordinary, the sincere, and a yearning to eat with the times”.

Likewise, ‘Foodpairing’ is a method for identifying which foods go well together. The method is based on the principle that foods combine well with one another when they share key flavor components. Foodpairing is a relatively new method and is often confused with “wine and food pairing“, which is the practice of matching wine with food. By contrast, foodpairing is used to analyze food and to find chemical components that they have in common.

The foodpairing method is designed to inspire chef, foOdies, home cooks and food engineers. The method aids recipe design and provides new possible food combinations, which are theoretically sound on the basis of their flavor. Foodpairing provides possible food combinations, which are solely based on the intrinsic properties of the different food products, they are based on the flavor compounds which are present in the products. This results in possible combinations that are innovative and are not influenced or restricted by cultural and traditional context of the products. This independence occasionally results in surprising and unusual combinations.

Also, foodpairing is able to provide a basis for the success of traditionally settled food combinations. It is not a coincidence that the vast majority of the traditional top hit combinations, like bacon and cheese, asparagus and butter have many flavor components in common. For instance, coffee contains 700 different aroma compounds, but there are only a couple of aromas important for the smell of coffee because most of the aromas are present in concentrations that are not perceptible with the nose; they are present in concentrations lower than their flavor threshold.

P.S. :Leaving that ‘hunger’ on this note for now, to avoid overdose & overcooking of words & resultantly again wastage of words…. Till than, just ‘starve’ for ‘something’…..’anything’…….. & ‘everything’………..

Spoilt Brat & a Spoiling Brat.

Well, still perplexed about the title of this article?..

- Read More -

This yet again other articulate creation is not mere act to compile some glossy words to dump into sentences & further dozen full of sentences into paragraphs to make a stereotype abstract article as usual; prima facie, just to give a gist, before directly mixing up the words; instead, it’s a mere attempt to dissect & castrate the offensive, impolite & odious words which tends to cross down the grammatical framework & catch the attention of being odd man out.

In the recent weeks time, flooded with the news while scrolling by the newspapers, news channels, social networking sites & micro blogging sites; & even crowded streets in the name of ‘protests & agitation’ expressing shock, outrage & anguish through stage demonstrations, black dots, screaming in unison & raising serious concern by sustaining relentless pressure of tear gases, water cannons, lathi charges, pelting stones; for amending petitions, laws & legislations, action & justice against heinous crimes for the ‘voice to be heard & sought for’.

Undoubtedly, when it comes to ‘brat’; they are conveniently ignored & tagged to be having gone out of hands, being futile & beyond any scope for improvement & rehabilitation. The underlying fact lies that, almost each one of us are willingly or unwillingly & intentionally or unintentionally either spoiling, getting spoilt or just aspiring to get spoilt at some or other point of time. It’s presumably a human nature & intrinsic factor, yet, the decision to maintain, bend or simply cross the limits (of the so-called socialized & civilized society) at different points of time, rests solely with the self, at all points of time.

Perceiving from the point of view of not some mature creature from Mars (Men) or even Venus (Women); but just to take a glance in the capacity of being an amateur from ‘Earth’ (a planet in the solar system having reached beyond an over & excess carrying capacity & resource utilization). So getting back on the GPS network to hover from different nooks of the world & sustaining the intensity of the sensitivity.

 

For some, it may have been just sensational news to sensitize & rejoice for a while, topic for gossips, discussions & debates, an issue to sip over with cuppa coffee (concluding the conversation as ‘Bigade hue baap k bigade hua bete’), or just for the sake to raise the flags, holding placards & light candles.

Give a break’……………………………………………………………..…Isn’t it something like  a daily soap which has been finely scripted & meticulously edited to add up spicy stuffs & twists of political turbulences, inflationary pressures, coal & gas allocations, spectrum allocations, scams & Swiss bank accounts, business & corporate lobbies, death sentences & their bail plea for terrorist activities, sequels & remakes of movies & albums, infertile & fragmented agricultural lands, inefficient policing, heat of burning money, outdated social norms, leagues & seasons of sports, political unwillingness, eradicating corruption, poverty, unemployment, power shortages  & such macro level hurdles, rising food & commodities’ prices, economic slowdown, threat from neighboring countries & diplomat willpower of super power & developed countries, infant mortality & such countless & endless list of problems & deadly vicious circle of tribulations. It’s just like the cassettes of episodes of Jessica’s brutal killings, aarushi’s murder, aruna shanbaug case, scam & fraud cases (CWG, Spectrum allocation etc etc), ‘bill against corruption’, which were in the spotlight for chewing the TRP factor for some couple of month’s time & such case files are either pending or simply wiped away in the light of other innumerous breathtaking news; & contritely innumerous & infinite cases & incidences which are not given heed of still do exists & prevail fearlessly.

With the very inception of a sperm into the process of forming a baby in to the womb; the struggle of that baby begins to adjust & adapt with the environment. With fumbling words & seeking attention of everyone, struggle to balance & walk over owns feet, later, to socialize & behave with utmost discipline & manners & running in the competition of being an ‘all-rounder’. As the process of cocoon progresses; the upbringing & nurturing (of values, ethics, morals, principles, cultures & even lot more stuffs) blends together & is hammered until the screws are tightened from time to time from peers, friends, colleagues, wards & guardian, relatives, family members & such endless creatures. Such baby is just exposed to let face the intricacies from the outside unsafe world of the vultures & sharks hovering to pounce on their dreamland.

Prioritizing the ‘need of the minute’ & keeping aside the ‘need of the hour’; is to introspect at least once & confront the cause & effect conflict. With the simple thumb rule, that an individual being a social animal; strives to socialize & form   a group, advancing to community, society, village, district, state, province, union territory, country, continent, world, planet, solar system & just beyond the universe. So, if the universe has to sprout from a particle of individual; then it is indeed a requisite of the minute to ‘introspect from within’ to know where to lead & how to lead the way.

The underlying fact of this articulate creation still dwindles & lies on the thin line of difference of perceiving the mindset of individual. The contaminated thoughts which leads to contaminated deeds; requires just a matter of self control & self realization to refine & filter out the stains of conspiracies & ill fated criminal activities. Undisputedly, self control & self realization aren’t just some sessions & chapters from the thesis of philosophy or mythology; nut a means to live & let others live. Yet, why it has to become so sensational; getting onto the nerves, unless & until it gets into an episode on that ‘idiot box’ or even some techno gadgets like tabs & notebooks. Overlooking the severity of physical & mental assaults, eve teasing mischief’s, honor killing, dowry blackmails, domestic violence & countless social stigmas (which are conveniently & blindly witnessed inside the shut doors, behind the curtains of the closed windows & hell lot hide out places & open public places). Ignoring the ‘cause’ will sooner or later instigate the ‘effect’; which may have its own self destructing & devastating exploitations. The helpless & gone cases of ‘brats’ are then forced on to follow the footsteps (on the tunes of ‘duniya ne humko diya kya, duniya ne humse liya kya…..) to fly in the smoky air, hooking, drug addiction, alcoholic beverages, dirty politics, snake bite, addictive porno stuff, hangovers, heavy puffs. They aren’t just spoiling their own lives, but gradually spoiling the lives of the ones who are connected & attached. Resultantly, the opinions, comments & approach are getting worse & pathetic (for & by) the opposite sexes & for the very extremes even about same sex creatures.

In the bottom line of this turbulences, weighing the best between two extremes is quite a simple effortless task; but then weighing the best out of two or more stuffs having similar characteristics (good, better or even best stuffs & in contrast, bad & worst) lies the real effort to scrap the second best opportunities & other alternatives. Spoiling the ‘cause’ will definitely spoil its ‘effect’ as well.

~Thank You~
