    Is A Degree REALLY Essential To Become An Author?

    April 20, 2023 - By 

    I came across this podcast ‘Tiffin Inn’ where in the first episode, Tim and Art discussed about the importance of procuring a degree in writing. The gist revolved around the essentiality of the degree for a novelist (or any kind of writer). Here are my two cents, as a writer and a wanna-be novelist: On days like today, I procrastinate more and write less.

But there is no relation between a gentle parent and an undisciplined child.’ When the answer does not satisfy them, I ask about their methods or ways of disciplining the kid. It involves screaming, yelling, hitting or shaming a kid. As a society, we have problems believing that love is enough to teach…

    April 7, 2023 - By 

    Procrastination is not equivalent to laziness. While procrastination is an unconscious delaying of an activity, laziness is a conscious choice of avoiding a task at hand. Meet Neha. She sits in her office on a Friday evening with furrowed brows and tired eyes. Her project’s deadline ends in 30 minutes, and she worries about finishing it on time. Though she had two weeks to finish the project, she waited until the last minute to complete it. When you meet Neha, she might come across as a lazy person. But nothing is farther from the truth. She has big ambitions and…

    April 6, 2023 - By 

    If you feel tired and void of energy all day, you are not alone; this thing is more common and gets its acronym: TATT (Tired All The Time).
