A Fine Day at Burgerman

 


After watching the play ‘Banquo’s Last Laugh’ at Selaiyur Hall, my friends and I collected our ‘Mnemosyne’ T-shirts. Suddenly, we decided to have our lunch at Burgerman.

It was a wonderful day to say the least. What I loved about Burgerman was that we can play games while having our food. We gave our order and while it was being prepared, we played Jenga blocks.

There were seven of us so the blocks collapsed quickly. We decided to put a twist to the game and added a rule. Every time we remove a block from the edges, we need to answer a question truthfully. If we remove a block from the middle, without collapsing the tower, then we don’t have to answer a question.

Some of us managed to remove the middle part and some of us answered the questions. The answers we gave to the questions were hilarious and we had a good laugh.

All of us had burgers and we loved it. I am not a fan of burgers but Burgerman was really good. It tasted heavenly. I loved the meat. We also ordered a variety of drinks and they all tasted so unique. However, we need to have an acquired taste for drinks like the Bourbon Ale.

I personally enjoyed it.

Then we played UNO. By this time, I was feeling sleepy but we played anyway. Our friend had to explain the rules to us because one of us doesn’t know how to play. UNO is a very fun game and it requires interaction from all the parties. One must estimate the chances a fellow player has through keen observation.

The day was fantastic. A couple of my friends weren’t able to join us and that was my only regret. I drank too much soda today and now I have a headache but I wouldn’t regret it. I had such a good time with my friends and I cherish this day.

Let’s live life whenever we can.

  Her small head contains an infinity of perfection. The world flies into her head and gets conceived there. She patiently bears it and shapes it thoughtfully and carefully. She nurtures it in her head for several days until the shapeless world acquires shape. Faces receive characters, characters receive names, names get recognition. Recognition breeds familiarity. One night, she silently types the world she had shaped. She pauses and presses backspace. A while later, after ruminating upon her choice of words, she continues. She pauses again. No amount of words could capture the perfection in her head. Words cut off the limbs of her creation to accommodate it. Her perfect creation was born imperfect. She contemplates whether to have it unborn and perfect or born and imperfect. Then she remembers it. Parvati created a perfect boy from the sandal paste of her body. He was born in her head first then was brought to life by her hands which shaped every part of him with great care.

Throughout Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am the Honoured One: Understanding the Nuance Behind Gojo Satoru’s Oft-quoted Statement

Image
  Gojo Satoru is arguably one of the most popular characters in the anime Jujutsu Kaisen. He is, in fact, more popular than the protagonist of the anime. On the surface, Gojo Satoru might seem as a character who is written to be a fan favourite. He is charismatic, powerful, attractive and rebellious. These are all the qualities fans tend to look for in a ‘hero’ But this is not true. Gojo’s character is much more than that. When we consider his actions with the context of his past, then one thing is obvious: Gojo is Buddha. To understand this statement, we need to understand Mahayana Buddhism; the branch of Buddhism that is practiced in China, Japan and Korea. What does Mahayana Buddhism advocates for? Mahayana Buddhism teaches the concept called ‘Anatta’ which means ‘non-self’ ‘Non-self’ or rather 'non-perception of self', as the name suggests, rejects the perception of a Self. In religions like Hinduism or Christianity, the temporal nature of the body and the permanence

A Tip for Fiction Writers

  There are days where you can barely get up, much less write something. What should you do on such a day? Your mind is filled with ideas, waiting to be expressed, but your body shuts down. Eventually, you give in to the temptation and go back to sleep. But when you sleep, your ideas haunt your dreams urging you to let them out. So, you wake up and take your pen but the ideas will not come out and you lack the motivation to force them out. The greatest enemy of the author is not a critic but writing slump. I have been an unfortunate victim of writing slump multiple times. On the bright side, however, I have learnt how to battle it out. Here are a few steps which would help you to get over your writing slump. 1.      Listen to good music for a few minutes. As you listen to it, mull over the scene where you stopped writing. Imagine in it and enact it in your head. Music sets the mood and helps you to picture the scene quite easily. This would, more or less, give you an idea of how
