HuMan preps for the GRE


 Continuing with the next phase of my life, I am now nearing the end of my graduation after a 4 year engineering degree. I guess, there really isn't any harm in dreaming big because well, I am now going to try to move out, again. Growing up in Kuwait towards my 18th birthday I was really getting sick and bored of the comfort and that happened to be at the perfect time to start my engineering in MANIT Bhopal. Since then I have been fairly inactive on this blog, I've become mentally healthier, I have gained friends and learnt what it's like to be a good friend too. It's been a long ride, one that at some point I was ready to write a book on, since the last 2 years especially have been exhausting, with dengue, jaundice, multiple infections, it has been quite a ride. 

Anyway, I am in full flow of preparing for my GRE exam now to pursue further studies in a master's program abroad, most probably the USA, but let us see. I am ready to keep my options open. This blog's primary purpose was to initially realize my dream of writing. Writing about the things I like and want to write about. One that I have been very inconsistent with as it may be evident, but one that I rediscover every time I feel like that fire has been extinguished inside of me. While not active on this blog I considered writing my own book about me and the people I love and all that I have learnt from them, and somewhere in between a caption reviews concept on Instagram.



The AWA section on the GRE is a blessing in disguise I guess. AWA stands for Analytical Writing Assessment that consists of 2 types of essays to be written during the exam that are evaluated by someone some time after the test is conducted. And I have been practicing to improve my essay writing skills and in that I find this essay writing to be my most adored section of the exam. It has an uncertain evaluation sure, but writing it is so so fun. To be allowed to flex your creativity and thought process and have someone read it and evaluate it is something I never thought I wanted but slowly the dialogue "Did you read my essay?" is very slowly and powerfully growing on me.

Regardless, I shall be posting on this blog the essays I write and some travel stories when they happen, and some personal updates. Not personal life personal, more like where I am and what I am doing, try and keep this writing thing active even after my I am done with my GRE. I really don't know if anyone is reading this. Even if you are can't guarantee you're following, probably on a web surfing spree. But nonetheless, one of my inchoate goals for this blog was for you to 'relish' in what you find here. And I still do.

An Ode to Video games

 Boredom can give rise to a lot of things, for me lately, an addiction to writing has really gotten to my head. So here, just a little something I ended up typing to my friend Shruti in a matter of 30 mins when I thought she was offline (But somehow wasn't): Yknow, I want something, that which i cannot say, I want something, that which i cannot describe, I want something, that which i cannot ask for, I want something, something prehistoric, something atavistic, something uncultured, Remnants of a past hobby, Withered, but present, With influence so grand, so emminent, so irresistible One that engenders shivers, goosebumps, and naive exploitable excitement A grating decay of a plane, damp sounds of battering bones and swift stabs that atrophy Explosions that stupor, stories that inspire, and zombies that devour Not trite, not grindy, but one with an end Not limited, not unfathomable, but lovable Addicting, but not degrading Reviving not enervating One that tests skills, not temper a...

Reviews from HuMan's Instagram

  Originally Published: 4th January 2021 Movie: Tenet I actually liked Tenet. Kat looked really hot and captivating, and yes, it did counteract the extreme unnecessary and forced evilness of Andrei Sator. Priya also had an engaging on-screen presence. The Protagonist seems so lost yet trained for the entirety of Tenet. And Neil has to be the best part about Tenet. As for the movie, it is depicted and treated in a very filler or prologue kind of way. You know how in Nolan's Batman each movie felt independent and enjoyable on its own, Tenet feels like the upcoming follow-up will truly and properly explain and do justice to Tenet. However, it waits to reason whether or not the public is willing to wait. I really did still love the sci-fi concept of it. It felt new and unexplored. Something I would watch more if better refined. Maybe next time focus less on the logic and just get to the epic action set pieces pls Nolan. Originally Published: 5th January 2021 Movie:  WW84 Are u fuc...

Blue Commutes

  The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a local newspaper. "Commuters complain that increased rush-hour traffic on Blue Highway between the suburbs and the city center has doubled their commuting time. The favored proposal of the motorists' lobby is to widen the highway, adding an additional lane of traffic. But last year's addition of a lane to the nearby Green Highway was followed by a worsening of traffic jams on it. A better alternative is to add a bicycle lane to Blue Highway. Many area residents are keen bicyclists. A bicycle lane would encourage them to use bicycles to commute, and so would reduce rush-hour traffic rather than fostering an increase." Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument. Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the arg...
