How Music Affects Teens

Music is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different taste, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, soothing, energizing, and much more. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have a same taste in music as the rest of the people they hangout with, or it can be vice versa. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better but its just their own opinions.
People can use music to express themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. You can usually tell how someone’s feeling by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts, shows, and venues to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you. Many people choose their preferences by the influence of their peer group . Others stick to their own choices. Some people dance their feelings away on music . When else is away; music lends a hand .

Music gives a soul to the universe , wings to the mind , flight to the imagination and life to everything. 

  

The Incredible Idiocy Of Chetan Bhagat

Why do some people dislike Chetan bhagat and his work?

Even though this topic has been to death a million times ; I'll write on it again !

Now, the proper argument against CB haters is, ‘If you don’t love him, just don’t read his books. The man has sold so many books. Cut him some slack.’But there are some reasons that he has a very good hate following!First of all , his bad quality writing style in his books. They are the Indian version of Twilight. Mindless. Page-turner, at the end you ask why you even read it in the first place. Essentially he is the embodiment of everything that's hopeless about the nation- love for masala, disdain for debates. He takes advantage of that, propagates it. Moreover he goes on to convince readers they are indulging in literature, while they're not. An unread person is better than one who has grown up on his books. A book has no obligation to appeal to the intellect and increase it, but what it shouldn't do is dumb down the masses further and that's what he does. The Bollywood equivalent for him is RGV ki Aag, TV equivalent is Roadies.  CB is not a good writer in the literary sense. He is no Vikram Seth or Arundhati Roy. He does not write flowery beautiful prose.He is simply earning because of the "masala-influenced" masses we have in our nation.Honestly no one can learn anything new from his books . No new words , no moral values ( of course not ). His books are made to be motion pictures .We can debate all day about why he isn't a good writer and why still his books are best sellers but it wouldn't change the way he writes nor the way we think.He has his fans and haters all over the world .Now , it's everyone's personal opinion on what they would prefer.The choice is all yours folks.#This is my personal opinion and I mean no offense to anyone or anything.  

Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed in love a little now and then

                                                                                                                 

The above quote were the words of the honored author Jane Austen .Jane Austen is a world renowned English author and, despite her having lived centuries ago, she commands a legion of fans around the world numbering in the millions today. Her timeless works - numbering just six completed novels - have been turned into a plethora of motion pictures, television shows and modern adaptations at a regular pace in addition to being translated into multiple languages that help her stories surpass cultural boundaries. These six works have gone on to become the model formula for the romance stories of today.

•  Pride and Prejudice         
        ....Misunderstanding prevails

•   Sense and Sensibility 
  
                      …Striking the balance

•  Persuasion
  
                      …The heart never forgets

•   Emma 
  
                     …Playing with Fire

•  Northanger Abbey           
          …Romance beyond books

• Mansfield Park     
       …Above rank and status 

Jane Austen remains as popular as ever and is revered as much as any literary figure in the history of the English language .What kind of author would Jane Austen be without a sharp mind and an equally sharp tongue? Her personal quotes reveal something of her character – a fierceness that sometimes can come out of her lead characters. She certainly maintained a unique, almost stubborn, view of the world around her and had made up her mind about a great many things.
Jane Austen’s writing style is something very commendable. It’s concise yet very meaningful. While reading her novels you are totally surrounded by the “world” of Jane Austen. It feels like a movie going on inside your head. She was one such person who can make our hearts pounding on what’s going to happen next in the romance! Her stories give a new perspective to every individual. So go on ...and pick up a Jane Austen classic and read. I would personally recommend the above mentioned six.

“Wisdom is better than wit, and in the long run will certainly have the laugh on her side “  - Jane Austen

A Fairy Tale ..Yet to be discovered

Who says Fairy tales are just stories? Who says they’re not real?They are!

You must’ve read about the French Revolution or the American civil war in High school, right?You read it in book, you read fairy tales in a book too right? So why don’t you believe in them?Belief is the only thing that drives us away from such webs. If we don’t believe, why would something be real and happen to us? We believe in the world wars happening, why not Cinderella? Huh?Belief is a portal to many worlds! Imagination is the base of creating of a belief!The French Revolution and the world wars are both “stories” in history.Now stories – where do they come from?We hear the stories of Akbar the great from our elder, stories are passed on from one generation to the next. They have been in fact being passed on for hundreds of centuries!The Grimm Brothers collected all these stories (known before as folk tales) and gave them to us in print. Maybe these stories are real...maybe Cinderella had a fairy godmother; maybe snow white did have a prince charming..! Who knows...there might be a thing like magic in the world too!Let’s take this fact – The world wars happened …we believe in them because there is proof in text . But how do we know that text is REAL? We simply believe in it.Our imagination is the only way we can believe in them. Why can’t we simply believe in fairy tale?Magic is a word for something that can do anything and everything.Imagination IS magic.We have read stories like Twilight, Hunger games and Harry Potter. These all came from someone’s imagination. Imagination is a wondrous object we possess. Magic, fairy tales are just “stories” for those who don’t believe. But imagination isn’t for anyone.Napoleon existed.Rumpulstilskin existed.Why’d you read the second statement so unbelievingly? We believe in the world ware cause they make sense. We don’t believe in fairies cause their existence doesn’t make sense to us. Why does everything have to make sense?Don’t feel ashamed or crazy if you believe in fairies or magic; Respect yourself because you’ve got a amazingly good imagination!Imagination is real.Believe and Enjoy.Imagine and make magic.(Believe me) You can do wonders!

Reading Is My Escape

Reading is my escape from reality. 

When I read I leave reality and enter a different world that is truly amazing. I get pulled into books like no other. When I read I forget what I am surrounded with and get surrounded by something better. 

It is simply one of the best feelings ever. To get pulled into a book, into a different world when it seems so real, but it is just inside your mind.
Don’t get me wrong, I think reality is beautiful, especially since it’s all we’ve got, but in a certain sense imagination is an aspect of reality as projected by our own neural circuitry. So it should be ok to enjoy escaping from time to time, right? Of course that’s right! Only a scientist would ever think to ask permission to step outside reality for a little bit. But this is where comics come in oh so handy.So if I’m looking for a bit of easy escapism why don’t I just watch a movie? Well I prefer reading, I like that it’s active. And a movie takes a specific amount of time. It’s right there on the box. For whatever reason I’m resistant to having to try and fit that in my schedule, as opposed to a comic I can carry around the house reading in fits and starts as I please. But this is all the nuts and bolts of my own preferred escapism, what’s my actual point?

Reading gives you an inner satisfaction that there is something more worthwhile and more enjoyable in this world. I face this inner urge to read cause I enjoy it and why not ?
A few hours without homework and the boring textbooks ..who wouldn't!
Go pick up a good book and READ.
You'll enjoy .! Believe me.! 

The End Of The World

Dear 21-12-12,Sorry to say you weren’t the last day of our time.

The clock strikes midnight, the hallowed date arrives and the apocalypse fails to turn up on schedule (due to technical problems). This time a group of believers have been left bewildered at the absence of death and devastation. Why is it that everyone is so obsessed with the possibility of the apocalypse? The world will end. That is a certainty. But it may not be anytime soon. The Mayans have a calendar based on the “long count” system , just because the last date mentioned is 21-12-12; doesn’t mean that it’s doomsday!

Surprisingly I’ve survived the end of the world 2 times (in a row)! Didn’t you guys think that how Lord Jesus could let the world die just 4 days before his birthday?! Huh?Some people take Eschatology* too seriously. It’s proven that the world will end but a million years later folks! Yep, Million! So enjoy your life ‘because You live only once!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

*Eschatology -religious theory of the end of the world
