Word of the Day


They were told to smile. 
To clean. 
To obey. 

But exit the premise before 8 PM! 


Two girls woke up found themselves in an unfamiliar dormitory surrounded with bunk beds occupied with other girls of similar age. One by one each of them opened their eyes, scanned the surroundings and went out of their room, seems like their daily routine. The whole floor was eerily silent, no muffling only quite slow footsteps of the girls.

While 2-3 girls were in a daze and frantically looking around them, holding their heads, crinkled brows, searching for something only to realise they are wearing a different piece of cloth which is not theirs. A realised this after looking at the other girls, she jumped out of the bed, tiles beneath her feet were Icey cold, but there were no shoes/slippers to slip on. Ignoring the chill, moved out of the door following other seemingly unfazed girls. They stood in front of a counter (top was covered), and saw 2 hands emerging underneath with a tub, the girls took them one by one. A followed and took the tub, it had a few bathing essentials and a uniform (lilac colored). Bathhouse had multiple shower heads but no doors/cabin, it was open. Everyone could see anyone. Much to her embarrassment they had to take the bath, washroom was on the other side, she relieved herself. Came out then took bath, she saw girls standing under a huge dryer again in a line. She followed after drying herself she wore the uniform and saw a few more colors on other girls - teal, lilac and blush pink. Wondered why though.

She followed other lilac ones, entered a lift with different carts (had cleaning essentials). When lift opened they were met with a vibrant, hustling-bustling floor with bright lights, sweet aroma of delicious street food, exquisite ladies, ear deafening laughter, and it seemed like a shopping mall. The girls stepped outside, much to her surprise they were all smiling ear-to-ear unlike their puppet face a second ago. A was in daze then she suddenly felt a soft nudge on her right side, when she turned toward the direction, the girl was moving her brows and smiling more brightly as in queuing her to smile as well. And she obliged. The crowd was happily shopping, could be seen spending like maniacs, some were eating like there's no tomorrow, some were playing games like they were possessed, whatever they were doing one thing was common - splurging money like water. Something felt off about it!

Girls were to make sure there were no spills, no spots, no torn up things/items or anything negative. Day ended at sharp 8pm, the mall announced it's closure by 7:40 and in 5mins it was clear of people. The girls rushed to clean evrything and returned to the lift at exact 8pm, ODD.

Once the door closed, the smile faded like it never existed. Girls went to their floor leaving the carts behind. Again took the tub from the counter, took a bath, wore their night tunic and went to their dormitory. However, approaching footsteps made them jump from their bed and fo a line, A followed the same (didn't want to seem odd). An elderly woman accompanied with a handsome man behind her with a soft smile walked. Woman had a stern look, approached the girls, stopped in front of 1 girl and eyes her. The soft smiled guy turned around and walked out of the door, girl followed him. Came back after 5mins with red eyes. What could have happened! The smiling guy wasn't smiling anymore, but had a stern look matching the elderly woman, was holding a baton. Girls flinched at the sight and bowed 90° for some 15mins then the woman and the guy left the room. WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

1 month passed in a daze with every morning a new girl added in the dorm, and 1 guy being punished at evening. A wasn't just following the instructions but devising her own escapade plans. B joined her and they gathered info on shift changes, lift timings, camera blind spots, emergency exits and accidently 1 day while cleaning near a window B noticed a luggage train passing by slowing its speed near their building for some odd reasons. B told A and both took note of this incident one by one every day for another 2 weeks. Same time, same place, same slowing down pace for 2 full minutes. The time was near to the loop they had found to escape. A went to camera's blindspot nonchalantly walking towards the guest washroom to clean (all while smiling broadly). B faked having periods (both had stored their blood for 2 days for this moment). Seeing the spots she was excused to the guest washroom. Both had a set of new clothes, made by stealing from the counter with no tag, stitched into an elegant jumpsuit and an evening gown, put on some light makeup, wigs, sandals (more like comfortable shoes for running), designer bags, shades bigger than their face, both strutted out the bathroom chatting, laughing like other maniacs near.

It was around 7pm ( train arrives at 7:15pm), they had 15mins to reach the second floor (currently at 10th), entered the bathroom, tied & threw the rope outside (made with their maid uniform his inside their designer bags), slipped down (already 7:14pm) they could hear the train whistle, and the vibration on the track. They could hear guards shouting behind, gunshots heard but they didn't turn back and dashed forward as fast their legs could handle, the train arrives and slowed down exactly the same way, A jumped inside the cabin and pulled B. They saw 5 more girls running towards them, so others had noticed them. She extended her hand and one by one all 5 girls boarded the train. Surprisingly the guards didn't cross a certain line (piece of land) to catch them.

Train stopped at a station, seemingly full of normal crowd of people. All 7 offboarded the train and walked towards the exit gate, tears in their eyes with innocent smile. A noticed 3 girls holding a food cart in 3 identical dresses (lilac, teal and blush pink), oddly familiar to their uniforms. she panicked and urged everyone to rush outside the door. Quick on feet as once they were at the door it suddenly blew red with a loud alarm and started to shut down. The 7 girls barely managed to escape. But they were joined with 5 more girls who wanted to escape like them. Outside world was vastly different than the one they were in.

One of the girls screamed - "This is my hometown, I remember it now. I was leaving my family behind to follow my love and came to this station to board a train but once we went in everything was a blur."
A- "When did this happen?"
Same girl - "It was last year, June 20th, 2013."
A - "You should see today's newspaper, look at the date."
It was June 20th, 2023. 10 whole years she was trapped inside that horrible world!

A and B came there by June 20th, 2022 (they thought it was only 2 months, but it had been 1 whole year). Everyone was shocked to know how quickly passed inside that bubble and they had no idea. One girl whispered loudly, "I came here on June 20th, 2003, and I thought it had been 5 years." She always kept a diary with her to mark the days every day without a miss.

Everyone was shocked! But they decided to travel together to their homes one by one dropping one by one. A and B were neighbors, so they were the last ones to reach home. Everything felt same, they knocked their doors, family came out one by one and cries could be heard in that silent night. Girls explained the scenario, their escape and coming home without any harm. Welcomed with a warm meal, hearty hugs from families, they went to their bed. Budding each other bye from their bedroom window. Drifted to sleep.

Next morning they woke up, mom screamed for breakfast and that they are late for their college. Come down now or you will be late!
The family was having breakfast, sitting around the table, her father reading newspaper as always, laughter broke out at their sibling's silly behavior. Suddenly A noticed something on the newspaper and panicked. She went to her room upstairs leaving her family bewildered. Closed the door, *beep* got a text - "Did you see the newspaper? B texted her. A opened her window curtain and saw B having same horrid expression.

Talk about fear and acceptance towards life!

There's a popular saying in Hindi- "Sach humesha kadva hota hai.." Truth is always bitter, like medicine, the bitter the taste the more effect it has.

Movies & dramas about escaping death (I can name a few, most popular being Final Destination), making contacts with the Grim Reaper (even falling in love- Goblin, Hi School Love On!), becoming one (Soul reaper- Bleach), etc. have gained a tremendous amount of popularity, especially amongst the young generation. They are the medicine to escape the real world.

This has also given birth to VR/AR generation where you can create your own world, do whatever you want to, however you want to!



Deja Vu

Déjà vu is that feeling when you arrive in a place you have never visited before, and it seems familiar to you. It gives you the feeling of nostalgia when you revisit a place full of unforgettable memories.

People often take it as a sign from above and beyond telling them something about the place, maybe linked to their life before. For some believe it's the result of watching familiar scenarios in TV commercials or movies.

What really happens is what I leave to you... people have varied perception and way of interpreting a situation.


Jamais Vu

The opposite of Deja Vu is Jamais Vu. When you visit a familiar place, it feels like the first visit. Or when you say a familiar word multiple times, it sounds weird.

It gives the illusion of a memory loss, a sort of amnesia where you lose a fragment of memory due to certain head injuries, heavy blood loss, or extreme trauma. Psychological change is one of the major reasons behind Jamais vu.

People often take it lightly since it feels normal to not remember something of less priority, or memories from your childhood since it's been too long. We blame it to our age and the detachment we had with the particular place, person or incident. 


*Special Treat*

Do check out the "Jamais Vu" album by the powerful trio of BTS: Kim Seokjin 김석진 (Jin 진), Jung Hoseok 정호석 (J-Hope 제이홉 /Hobi 호비) and Jeon Jungkook 전정국 (kookie).

Today, I am going to list out the 11 heart melting dialogues (also check out the article here) from the iconic most romantic movie of the era, Titanic which was released in the year 1997 (when many of us couldn't watch the PG13 movie *internal scream*).

The movie Titanic, otherwise known as the 'unsinkable ship' or the 'ship of dreams', starred Kate Winslet (as Rose DeWitt Bukater) and Lionardo DeCaprio (as Jack Dawson) and was directed by James Camron.

1. "It Was The Ship Of Dreams."  --Rose DeWitt Bukater

The captain and other officers on board were truly heartbroken to see the ship sink, but more than that, the Titanic was a promise of hope, safety, and innovation. When Rose is older, she insists that to truly understand the scope of the story, listeners must understand what the Titanic symbolized.

2. "I Saw My Whole Life As If I'd Already Lived It."   --Rose DeWitt Bukater

"An endless parade of parties and cotillions, yachts and polo matches. Always the same narrow people, the same mindless chatter. I felt like I was standing at a great precipice with no one to pull me back, no who cared or even noticed."

3.  "You Jump, I Jump."  --Jack Dawson

When Jack first meets Rose, he tells her that if she jumps off the ship, he will, too. Towards the end of the film, Rose leaps from one of the rescue boats so that she can return to the ship and be with Jack. He asks her why she did it, crying and repeating that she's "so stupid" while he embraces her and kisses her.

4. "... I Feel I'm Standing In The Middle Of A Crowded Room, Screaming At The Top Of My Lungs, And No One Even Looks Up."   --Rose DeWitt Bukater

Rose seems to have it all — wealth, education, a fiancé, family, privilege — but she still feels sorry for herself. Interestingly, Jack doesn't think that she's entitled or being precious but sympathizes with her.

He listens to her problems and takes her seriously because her feelings are still valid. She explains how it feels to be who she is, and how all she wants to do is escape her suffocating identity. 

5. "Rose, You're No Picnic. You're A Spoiled Little Brat, Even."   --Jack Dawson

Even though everything on the Titanic is glamorized and made to seem shinier than it is, Jack sees the real Rose when nobody else does.

Being a peasant himself, he sees rich people as spoiled, and he's not wrong about Rose. But despite his view, he still loves her, and she still loves him even after he says it.

6. "When You Got Nothing, You Got Nothing To Lose."   --Jack Dawson

Jack Dawson only ever gets onto the ship by chance — he wins a ticket, which he later says is the best thing that ever happened to him, even if it does end up getting him killed.

However, Jack's lack of wealth means that he can live a very carefree life. He always lives in the moment, which is something Rose desperately wants, and it's part of why she's so attracted to him.

7. "I'd Rather Be His Whore Than Your Wife." --Rose DeWitt Bukater

Rose has spent so long dreading the future that she wants to live in the present — if only for a few moments or days — with a person whose company she enjoys. She even has the guts to speak her thoughts to Cal's face.

She chooses Jack despite his low social standing and lack of wealth.

8. "That Fire That I Love About You, Rose, That Fire Is Gonna Burn Out."   --Jack Dawson

Though Rose may feel secure in her life, she certainly doesn't feel happy. Her older version even says that she was "screaming" on the inside.

Jack can see right through her façade, too. When she's with him, she's loud and vibrant and headstrong. He tells her that if she goes on living the way she does, she will become trapped in that rigid lifestyle forever.

9. "You're Gonna Die An Old, Old Lady, Warm In Her Bed."   --Jack Dawson

Rose and Jack Dawson doing the iconic hand stretch pose on Titanic' s dock.

The last part of the film is painstakingly drawn out, with Rose holding onto dear life and Jack in the water. Even though he's the one in the freezing ocean, he keeps whispering to her, trying to reassure her as she holds his hands.

They're both losing hope, and Rose voices her concerns, but Jack refuses to believe her. He asserts that they're going to make it out alive, even though the situation is dire and doesn't show any signs of improving. This quote really speaks to Jack's optimism, which he's shown throughout the film and displays here in his darkest moment.

10. "I Figure Life's A Gift And I Don't Intend On Wasting It."   --Jack Dawson

Rose and Jack Dawson from Titanic 1997

"I got everything I need here right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I am gonna meet, where I am gonna windup. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having a champagne with you fine people. I figured life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you are gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you...to make each day count."

Despite Jack's lower social standing, he has a lot of wisdom to offer. One night, when he has dinner with Rose's family, he explains the philosophy behind his way of living.

11. "I'll Never Let Go, Jack."   --Rose DeWitt Bukater

Ros and Jack Dawson in the final ending scene of Titanic 1997

One of the most memorable quotes of the film comes in the final scene when the pair is holding onto a plank of wood. The ship is wrecked and sunk by this point, and the floating survivors are waiting for someone to come and rescue them.

Rose starts saying her goodbyes to Jack, but he insists that they're not done yet. However, not long afterward, he starts saying his goodbyes. He makes Rose promise that she'll survive and never let go of that promise.

Easy money is no money, said who?

Now you have an easy way to earn where by spending just a few thousand rupees monthly can make you a *crorepati* in couple of years...!!

You read it right! Keep reading below and you will find out how!!

According to an article published by Zee News on 06th November 2021, they have mentioned about an age old scheme launched by the Post Office in the form of Public Provident Fund (also known as PPF in short) where you can invest your hard earned money in a risk free way and earn a decent percentage of interest amount. Which is way more safer as compared to other investment ideas such as mutual funds and the stock markets.

PPF is a government programme hence, you can be sure that you will get a good return on your investment. These post office savings plans have maturities ranging from one to fifteen years.

Let's talk about this Public Provident Fund (PPF) in detail, if you have a long-term investment strategy.

What is a Public Provident Fund (PPF)?

As per an article published by cleartax.com (they have a pdf option for download too, click here), Public Provident Fund (PPF) scheme is a long term investment option that offers an attractive rate of interest and returns on the amount invested. The interest earned and the returns are not taxable under Income Tax. One has to open a PPF account under this scheme and the amount deposited during a year will be claimed under section 80C deductions.

PPF- An age old Scheme launched by the Post Office

This post office savings scheme offers a 7.1 percent annual compounding interest rate. This scheme has a 15-year maturity, but it can be extended for another 5 years after that. You can carry the fund forward if you don't need it at the end of the 15-year period. You will get greater compounding benefits as a result of this. 

The maximum amount that can be placed in this saving scheme is Rs 1.50 lakh each year. Instead of depositing Rs 1.50 lakh once a year, you can make monthly deposits of Rs 12500.

The interest and maturity income earned in this account is tax-free.

On an investment of Rs 22.5 lakh in the savings scheme, you will receive Rs 18 lakh in interest.

For better understanding, here is the breakdown of the maturity amount that you will receive:

Maturity: 15 years

Monthly investment: Rs 12,500

1 year Investment: Rs 1.50 lakh

Total investment in 15 years: Rs 22.50 lakh

Annual Interest rate: 7.1 percent

Maturity amount: Rs 40.70 lakh

Interest benefit: Rs 18.20 lakh

If you deposit Rs 12,500 for 25 years

Monthly Investment: Rs 12,500

Total Investment in a year: Rs 1.50 lakh

Total Investment in 25 years: Rs 37.50 lakh

Annual Interest Rate: 7.1 percent

Maturity Amount: Rs 1.03 crore

Interest Benefit: Rs 62.50 lakh

So, what are you waiting for? Visit your neares post office and open a PPF scheme to secure your retirement right from this day.

Relationships are like Taj Mahal. Everybody will wonder how Beautiful it is, but nobody can understand how difficult it was to build.




One Amazing Fact About Taj Mahal:

Taj Mahal was built without using cement!!

Let's have a look at the brief history about this iconic monument:

The monument was built by Shah Jahan (Shahab-ud-din Muhammad Khurram, the fifth Mughal emperor of India who reigned from 1628 to 1658) between 1631 and 1648. While the strong and common greyish paste that is used to build monuments, called as cement was introduced in 1817 by Louis Vicat, a French Inventor.

The question that arises now is how the Taj Mahal was built without cement?
The answer is rather interesting and has been used in many other monuments around the nation. On request a special type of paste was prepared for joining stone, the paste was a mixture of jaggery, curd, water, urad dal, batase, belagriri, jute, pebbles mixed with Lime water.

The special paste was indeed stronger than cement.

Stay tuned...we will be back with more interesting facts!!
