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.

Superman 2025

Superman is a classic superhero. He has been around for almost a century and provided inspiration to children and adults alike. He has a certain righteousness that is unparalleled by any other superhero I have ever read about. He isn’t the best or most interesting superhero, but Superman carries himself in a status that isn’t built as easily as other people think. In this essay I will iterate why I think Superman is the morally best superhero and why being him is difficult. (And some thoughts on the 2025 movie) The most memorable thing about superheroes will always be their origin stories. Spiderman had uncle ben, Batman has his parents, and the Flash has his mom. Superman has no real tragedies that motivate him against evil. He has two healthy parents who just raised him to be a good person. Sure, he lost his entire civilization of Krypton, but he was a baby when it happened and maybe he may feel alienated (pun intended), but he cannot feel traumatized enough to do good because of tha...

Oppenheimer

  Ok, this might be my 4th draft of today. If I can't keep writing, it might be fatigue. But if I can, that's great too. (Ok yea, I am on the second paragraph, and I am definitely fatigued. Let's stick to one review per day.) Oppenheimer, I got to this move too late, I know. I watched it a whole year after the Barbenheimer thing happened. I saw Barbie sometime in fall last semester, but only now resolved to finally watch Oppenheimer. In my defense, it is a long commitment. 3 hours. Some old hindi movies used to be 3 hours and I could rarely tolerate those. I still remember how long the songs were in Munna bhai and Lage raho munna bhai. Regardless, now that I have sat through three hours of this beauty, what do I think? I think it was hella artsy. I haven't seen a movie this artsy since I used to keep oscar movies checklists back in 2019. I used to watch all the oscar nominated movies, and I would feel like a true connoisseur of sorts.

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...
