Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

How to stay insulated from annoying people

It is a fact that there are good people at work who try to help us by going out of their way or in any way they can. It constitutes the majority of the people in any workplace, and they are polite and caring as well.


But there are also people at any workplace who are precisely the opposite of the above lines. They are
inconsiderate; they are impolite, not helpful, and anything you can think of. Interestingly, the number
is less compared to the number of good people. But somehow it seems to us that they are everywhere, its because they take up more space in our mind than good people do.

Dealing with annoying people at work

The best way to deal with annoying people is not to get angry. This is possibly the best way if you don't get angry the annoying people lose interest in you as you are no more triggered and the more you stay calm you can act decisively when you are treated badly. This is the basic thing that one needs to remember, and around this bottom line there are some strategies:

 Stay calm it'll help you not to do anything that you'll regret later

 Easily getting mad means staying mad at that person for a longer period

 Staying calm will help eventually people who want to annoy you

 Getting angry only harms your own body

 If you get annoyed or angry easily, you become a prey

 Dreaming to take revenge is bad as you are not thinking constructively

 Getting annoyed is makes an impact on your memory, so they keep coming back

 Losing your temper makes you look bad

 Laugh about it. Trust me it pisses them off

 Move on

 Know that they are there but don't let them affect you

Out-turn
It is to be understood clearly that this article is not about tolerating with behaviors that annoy you.
One should take a stand against it but in a formal manner and not in the heat of the moment.
It is all about not getting annoyed easily or not giving in to what others want of you, because at the end of the day getting angry is harmful to one's self.

As Aristotle said; it's not about getting angry, it's about getting angry the right way.

Inspector Sharma-India salutes you

Its a sad day for the nation as it bids the final farewell to Delhi police inspector Mohan Chand Sharma. He died on Friday in an encounter with the terrorists who were involved in the Delhi bomb blasts. The nation could've rejoiced today with the successful operation of killing 2 terrorists and nabbing one, if not for the painful loss of this brave soul. He was the first one to enter the building where the terrorists were said to be hiding. Just think of the courage displayed by this man in the hour of need. As he knocked on the door, he heard some commotion going on inside. So he went inside through another door and was shot at. His team members swung into action after this and it was all over in the blink of an eye. Though he was taken to the hospital, Sharma succumbed to his injuries soon. He was a tough cop who has taken part in many successful encounters and brought laurels to the Delhi police force, but sadly this one proved his last. The terrorists who were killed were not m...

Satyameva Jayate - Free speech

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...
