Free Social Media Counselling

Please remember that as you scroll through your newsfeed, there may be a tendency to start thinking that everyone is 'succeeding' while you are not.
. 
Please perish that thought. Everyone is faced with their own peculiar 'problems' and 'failures' and it is only because you know your own 'challenges' that makes it seem as if you are the only one not 'making it' in life.
. 
From comments to status updates, tweets, friends, followers amongst a host of metrics, you are probably going to only see those things that others want you to see. 
.
Research has shown ( https://guilfordjournals.com/doi/10.1521/jscp.2018.37.10.751) that "...there is in fact a causal link between the use of social media and negative effects on well-being, primarily depression and loneliness."
. 
So in short let us remember that social media is a tool that we must be responsible for using and so to protect ourselves we need to lay down some rules on our usage:
. 
1. Avoid comparing yourself to others because you don't have 'the full picture'.
2. Struggle/Compete against becoming a better version of yourself. 
3. Discipline yourself on the time you spend on social media.
4. Define for what purpose you are using your time on social media. 
. 
Wishing us all a healthy dose of social media experience!

Ramblings

So many thoughts scattered  In the ocean  That is my head I do fear for this wayfarer. And here I was thinking  I was normal  Uuntil I met you. Shattering the glasses  My assumptions  Opened the door  To the coastline of reality. Smashed to pieces  My fears  Like angry bull  In a China-shop I'm now bathed in silkiness  Serenity  Confidence my new skin I wear  Like crocodile  Or his cousin once removed,  The snake. I'd have been kidnapped  By heart and mind  If not for Providence  Who sent Guidance to guard Inhibitions have been very strict  Leaving no room for idleness  To cajole me into reverie  To send into coma of self-delusion. This journey must be concluded  To it's end which is a known  Unknown Haidarwali 201506111756hrs

A Midnight Encounter

You see when it starts to rain, the soul that luvs the rain lights up with an electric fervor! . I close my eyes and listen to the musical lyrics of raindrops drumming upon the rooftop, which pours down the drains. . I sit against the windows and watch countless slates slash against the pane and flashes of lightening streak across the reddened midnight sky. And then... . POW! CRACKOW! A blasting blare of thunder makes me shudder, almost jumping out of fright. . And then gradually the rumbling rolls away like a cartwheel leaving me with the sound of dripping raindrops like a collection of pattering feet tapdancing. . A cool breeze sifts in carrying with it the scent of wettened earth and the promise of a sweet and sound night's sleep. . Haidarwali 201805250053hrs
