Another book to read in our list is a New York Times Bestseller book The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck (A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life) by Mark Manson. I remember reading this book a few months back when I had visited the World Book Fair held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. It was a second-hand book for me with a new approach to life. This is the book about which I had read a lot about on many online websites for book lovers. I was always keen on reading this book, and now after reading this book, I know why this book was the talk of the town. The book is of 210 pages where each page gives you something new to add to your life. The book is divided into 9 Chapters in total with many sub-chapters or topics. The book leaves you in tears too, as you read, you will get to know better. The book is a very new kind of book as the book is quite different from the other books and from the sayings that we keep listening from our family and friends. Upon reading the chapter, you will think that there is some problem with the author, but as you read further in the sub-chapters, the idea of the author will get clearer in your mind.
It will make you think again what to do in life & how to do it. Some of the chapters include Don’t Try; Happiness Is A Problem, You Are Not Special, The Value of Suffering, You Are Wrong About Everything, Failure is the Way Forward, ….. And Then You Die. The book deals with his own experiences about everything which gives us his own philosophy that struggles are important as they give more meaning to our meaningless life which is better than trying to be happy always seeing the positive side of everything. The book openly challenges the principles laid down by the self-help industry, which, according to Mark, is neither practical nor helpful. This may be the first time that an author has written with such honesty about his own life, his own mistakes. The book may be said a book of facts which are generally discarded by us. The book will give you a new approach in order to live a good life where you don’t seek to run away from life but are able to face life with all honesty and dignity. If you like this book you should also lay your hands on the next book followed by this book titled Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope.

Rap music and the hip-hop scene in India is booming and everyday we see new rappers coming up with lyrical masterpieces to describe their life, struggles, and the face of the society from their own perspective. Be it a gully, or a club, rappers have the right words to express what they think of the environment. Rapping has become so prominent in touching the reality of the society that it now also deals with concepts like poverty, corruption, lifestyle of those who live in the not so privileged parts of the society, etc. KR$NA’s song ‘Vijay’ is a good example of how rap as an art is working on spreading an emotional awareness regarding the problems of the society. Considering rap has grown bigger, here we are, looking at the biggest new-gen rappers who are making it big in the scene today.
Divine
A gully boy, hailing from the streets, or as he would like to state, the gullies of Sahar, Andheri East, Vivian Fernandesis an Indian rapper who goes by the stage name Divine. A student of the St. John the Evangelist High School, Marol, and later a student of R.D. National College, Divine was interested in hip-hop from his childhood.
50 Cent
He discovered hip-hop when he first saw an image of 50-Cent on a friend’s t-shirt. Later, when that friend gave him a CD, he played it on his grandmother’s CD player and immediately got attracted to the music and the beats. Divine in his childhood only, shifted from his dad’s place to his maternal grandmother’s place. This was because his dad was an alcoholic and because of the financial problems in the family, his mother had to go abroad and work. However, after a certain phase of friction with his dad, he and his elder brother decided to leave the place. His elder brother too went abroad and Divine was left with his grandmother. His adolescent years were spent around vices such as alcohol and drugs. This was because he had no supervision and the whole hip-hop vibe was taken quite literally. Things started to progress when he got a microphone and started recording songs. Thereafter, he decided to use his mic for a better purpose. He started to realise that hip-hop is not about drugs and alcohol and gangs. He realised he could achieve a purpose with music. After this realisation struck him, Divine started to rap about the gullies, the problems of the poor, the difficulties he has faced. His one aim was to bring his mother back from abroad, and take care of her.
Initially, Divine enrolled himself with Mumbai’s Finest, a rap group he was one of the founding members of. He started building momentum as a rapper, and soon switched to Hindi, so that people could relate with his songs.

He came out with commercially average hits such as Ye Mera Bombay and Voice of the Streets. Orkut at that time was hosting Rap battles. There, Divine met Sez, who later gave him the beat for ‘Mere Gully Mein’. Divine also discovered Naezy at that time, who, parallelly was rapping about the same things as Divine, and whose raps were motivated by the Bombay vibe as well.
Sez was about to discard the beat for ‘Mere Gully Mein’ when Divine came up with a flow for the beat. He also contacted Naezy regarding it and within 2 hours, Naezy gave him his part of the verse as well. ‘Mere Gully Mein’ was released and blasted the ceiling off. Every Mumbaikar was listening to the two rappers rapping about the happy vibe of the Gully. Divine had the attention of artists like Vishal Dadlani, Nucleya, Ranveer Singh, and many others. He was invited to clubs for performances and the song became a massive hit. It, for the first time, introduced the usage of slangs in songs, which is what made the people relate so much. During the performance of ‘Mere Gully Mein’ in a club, Divine was discovered by an official of Sony Music, and Sony bought the rights for the song as well as signed Divine. Brodha V was at that time the first Indian rapper to be signed by a label. However, unlike him, Divine made it big with the label. This was because, Brodha V, despite being a very talented artist, probably the most talented in all of the list, faced limitations when it came to speaking in Hindi, due to which the most of the North Indians could not get what he was saying. Brodha V used to rap in English, but most who listened to Hip-Hop did not prefer listening to English rap.
Coming back to Divine, he made it big with some hits such as ‘Jungli Sher’, ‘Jungle Raja’ (with Nucleya), ‘Farak’, ‘City Slums’ (ft. Raja Kumari). Thereafter, he was signed by a lot of brands such as Puma, Netflix (with which he released ‘Kaam 25’), Breezer, etc.

In this date, Divine has entered the mainstream Indian Music
Industry and runs his own music production house, named Gully Gang
Entertainment, wherein he finds other artists and signs them to the label.
Divine is certainly the biggest rap artist in North India, who has paved way
for the hip-hop scene to enter the gullies of India.
Emiway Bantai
This to be medical student turned rapper, coming from Antop Hill, Mumbai, is one of the wackest rappers the Indian hip-hop scene has witnessed. An underground dog, Emiway was introduced to hip-hop when he first heard the song ‘Not Afraid’. Thereafter, he became an Eminem fan and started rapping as he heard the songs. Emiway came out with a number of songs on his YouTube channel, which featured his group Dopeadelicz as well. However, Emiway, who initially believed that hip-hop could only be an English thing, was advised by his father to write song in Hindi so that people could relate. Now, Emiway has a massive fan following on his Instagram account, and an enormous 150 million views on his n umber 1 hit, ‘Machayenge’. While most his raps are filled with the Mumbai accent, Emiway also like to rap in English and his songs ‘Jump Kar’ and ‘Freeverse’ feature verses penned down in English.
Emiway was discovered by Raftaar, and has on several occasions collaborated with DNH Gang, a group of rappers belonging to the Delhi-NCR region, who work under Raftaar and fellow producer Ankit Khanna. One of Emiway’s famous collabs with DNH is ‘Mumbai Se Delhi Tak’, which features KR$NA from DNH. Emiway gained initial success with hits like ‘# Sadak’, ‘Kadak Ban’, etc. After his initial hits, Emiway won the “People’s Choice Award” for the best rapper in the underground scene.

Recently Emiway was in a beef with Raftaar and both of them spewed fire at each other with their songs. Emiway came out with a diss track named ‘Samajh Mei Aya Kya’ after he was offended by Raftaar’s comment on him in a interview, which many believe was misinterpreted, and thereafter Raftaar came out with ‘Sheikh Chilli’, which was a diss at Emiway and the song featured Emiway’s real name, Shahrukh Sheikh. After a series of hits from both sides, the beef ended, making Emiway the gossip of the town. Thereafter, Emiway started his own studio named ‘Bantai Productions’. Currently, Emiway is making it big in the rap industry.
Brodha V
Brodha V is a south Indian rapper, hailing from Bangalore. He raps in his native language or English, due to which he was never able to spark momentum in North India. However, Brodha V is actually one of the founding members of hip-hop music in India, and is considered a musical as well as lyrical genius by many. His style is quite unique, as he mixes Indian Classical music with the hip-hop beats. Brodha V was initially a part of ‘Machas With Attitude’, an Indian boy-band the name of which was inspired by the famous American music group ‘Niggas With Attitude’. He released various hits on his YouTube channel and became the talk of the town. However, many labels denied him a commercial shot as they believed that his music did not cater to the audience’s demands. It was quite the belief at that time, because even the hip-hop scene in India had not grown that much.
However, we can still gauge how Brodha V is indeed one of the earliest person to promote rap music in India by the fact that he, throughout India, was the first rapper ever, to be signed by a label, which was Sony music. He released a big hit named ‘Round Round’ featuring Benny Dayal under the label. Other than that his famous songs include ‘Aathma Raama’, ‘Maari Kannu’, ‘Aigiri Nandini’ etc. All of these songs are either in Hindi or Kannada. He released ‘Aigiri Nandini’ under Sony as well.
His recent hits include ‘Way Too Easy’ and ‘Let em talk’, both of which are in English and feature excellent music and genius lyrics. Brodha V is also entering the mainstream music industry by learning Hindi, and was signed to Zee, under which he came up with a big hit featuring Raftaar – ‘Naachne Ka Shaunk’. He also released a track to promote Alexa, the voice assistant made by Amazon, named ‘Naam Le Mera’. Currently, Brodha V is working on new songs and will soon be seen in collaboration with DNH gang on some major tracks.
DNH Gang
DNH Gang is a group of rappers hailing from the Delhi-NCR region, with the exception of Karma, who is from Dehradun. The gang includes KR$NA, Karma, Harjas, Kidshot, and music producer Deep Kalsi.
a. KR$NA
Krishna Kaul, better known by his stage name KR$NA is a rapper hailing from Delhi. As a music professional, he was very much involved in rapping and was ata a very early stage signed by one of the biggest names in the music industry – Universal. KR$NA released the album ‘Sellout’ with Universal. Before that he went by the name Young Prozpekt and released several tracks, displaying his unstoppable flow and strong lyrical content. As Prozpekt, he released ‘Vijay’ which recieved a good response. However, Prozpekt was not able to gain as much momentum as Krishna expected. He therefore, took a break from the rap scene, and then made a comeback as KR$NA. After his album “Sellout”, of which the songs ‘Sellout’ and ‘Last Night’ became popular, KR$NA started to rap in Hindi. Then, he got invited to DNH Gang and has been continuing with the group ever since. He released initial solo hits such as ‘Dekh Kaun Aaya Wapas’, and ‘Alag’. He released a hit with Raftaar named ‘Im Ready’. Ever since, KR$NA has been signed to AK Projektz, a label half-owned by Raftaar and half by producer Ankit Khanna. In his duration with AK, KR$NA has released several tracks such as ‘Meri Baari’, ‘Solo’ , ‘Warm Up’, ‘Jaanta Kyun’.
He released I’m Ready feat. Raftaar under Zee Music Company, and the song became a hit. KR$NA has recently released the track ‘Freeverse Feast’, which is a diss at Emiway. Even more recently KR$NA again released ‘Seedha Makeover’ attempting another diss at Emiway.
Karma
Having been raised in the streets of Dehradun, Vivek Arora, a.k.a. Karma has developed a penchant for strong lyrical content and good musical beats. Having started with AK Projektz, Karma has released a number of tracks such as ‘Take Diss’, ‘Karma Sutra’, ‘Warm Up’, ‘1 se 23’. Karma got fame and built momentum with his song ‘Rap Karte Hain’, which was produced by music producer Deep Kalsi.
Karma initially started rapping under the pseudonym VIVEK, stylised with an inverted E. He also made a song for Terribly Tiny Tales, named ‘We Wake Up’. Karma recently released ‘Mai Wahi Hoon’ feat. Raftaar under Zee Music Company, in which he recounts funny anecdotes from his school days. Now, Karma is an up and coming rapper who will eventually gain mainstream fame.
Kaam Bhaari
Kunal Pandagle, also known as the one whose work is the heaviest, i.e. Kaam Bhaari, is a rapper hailing from the streets of Kandivali who rolls with Divine. Kaam Bhaari is a 20 year old whose journey of rap started with a struggle. After the accident of his father, in which his father lost his leg, Kaam Bhaari started rapping as a hobby, but at an early age realised that a business could be made out of it. After his initial rap successes, Kaam Bhaari was signed to InkInc, a label owned by Ranveer Singh, under which he released ‘Zeher’. Kunal, before InkInc was making momentum as a rapper in the verse of Don’t Hold Back 2.0 by JACK & JONES. Recently, Kaam Bhaari released ‘Shuru Karein Kya’ from the movie Article 15. As a rapper, Kaam Bhaari is yet to make as much mainstream momentum as other rappers. However, the noise he is making at this age is sure to reach greater crowds in the coming years.
Rap as a culture, despite being primarily Western, is shaping itself in accordance with the Indian society as well. It is growing and developing and will in no time be a part of mainstream music. There are various rappers who can light the microphones up with their verbal content, and we hope they gain fame soon.
With this, we conclude our list of New-Gen rappers who are making it big, both in terms of finance, and outreach.

Running a wonderful dental clinic requires one to be fully equipped with different things that will be necessary for quality treatment. As a dentist, you will come across patients suffering from different oral conditions. Always ensure you have the latest facilities and products that will be needed for such treatments. This is something patients will look into before deciding to seek treatment from your clinic. They will confirm if you have state of the art equipment to be used for their dental checkups.
Having products like prophy paste is also essential, especially for those who come for scaling and polishing. It is vital in getting rid of stains and also smoothening the surface of the teeth. Having such a product in your clinic is essential. Another procedure that is common, and you will come across a variety of patients who want it done on them is fluoride treatment. It involves the use of fluoride products to strengthen the teeth.
Fluoride varnish is one of the most popular products used for such treatments. It is a type of varnish that contains high levels of fluoride and is usually applied to the teeth to strengthen the enamel. It helps to prevent a variety of conditions such as dental cavities, tooth decay, and also bacteria inhibition. You should have it in your dental clinic to give your patients quality treatment. Most dentists usually buy their fluoride varnish and other products used in dental procedures from pharmacies and shops that deal with their sale. Sourcing it from companies that deal with their production can help you save a lot of money. Here is how.
They are Cheaper
You will get fluoride varnish from these companies like Wonderful Dental at very affordable rates because most of them sell their products at wholesale prices. This is different when buying it from several shops or distributors that will sell you the product at a retail price even though you are buying bulk. You will get a wide range of fluoride varnish products at affordable rates when you buy them from a company.
Reduced Trips
Buying fluoride varnish from different shops or outlets that deal with their sale means you have to purchase them at minimal amounts. This will force you to make regular trips to these shops, and you will be forced to spend more. Buying from a company lets you buy this product in bulk and at very affordable rates. You will make very few trips because you have a wide range of items in store for your patients. Fluoride varnish is a non-perishable product and has a long expiry period. What you should do is to store it in the recommended conditions to ensure it is in the perfect state all the time. Also, make sure you have enough storage for these products.

Selling the product to them at a profit is an ideal option. You get to make more money and also save in the process when you get this essential product from a company.
How to Choose the Right Company for Your Fluoride Varnish Products

Life Hacks To Handle The Traffic Problem InBangalore:
The capital of the Indian state of Karnataka, The Silicon Valley of India, The top hub of startups in the country, the city with the highest number of researchers and the list can keep going on. The only city that can match up to the description above is Bangalore, officially known as Bengaluru. Having stated everything above we cannot deny the fact that the traffic menace in Bangalore is out of bounds and control.
The most predictable reasons for the traffic problems in Bangalore can be equated to its huge population of over ten million. To top it all, rapid urbanization, Government level corruption, bad infrastructure, poor city planning, bad coverage provided by the existing metro rail services etc have all contributed to the traffic problems in Bangalore. The condition of the roads in Bangalore is Inadequate, they are broken and narrow, filled with potholes, void of proper lane markings and the condition just gets worse in the monsoons. Another problem that contributes to the traffic is the water tankers and the trucks that are parked arbitrarily and they cause huge traffic jams eventually. Hence it’s important to keep a check on Unauthorised parking. The inefficient metro lines in Bangalore do not provide enough connectivity when compared to the other metropolitan cities. They are poorly maintained and are not up to the mark.
What can be done in such a situation? will the traffic menace ever go away in Bangalore? Well the most obvious answer would be no, but I believe prevention is better than cure and there are surely ways through which the problem can be effectively reduced if not eradicated. The most basic measures start from proper traffic signal management and bringing in restrictions on the number of trucks and trailers permitted in the city. This will tremendously reduce not just the traffic problems but will also help resolve the pollution crisis being faced throughout the country. Restrictions on the number of Ola and Uber licenses allowed in a city is another measure that can be taken. Proper driving sense must be enabled in people by regulating and implementing stricter traffic rules and punishing the wrongdoers severely. Metro rails in Bangalore surely need an up-gradation and need to provide greater coverage throughout the city. Having said that no matter how efficient the metro rails get, they only include a small percentage of Bengaluru’s commuters.
The government authorities should work towards constructing One-way traffic roads as much as possible so that the traffic flow is smooth and the jams are reduced. Also owing to the fact that Bangalore is dominated by 70% two-wheelers, hence a separate lane for two-wheelers must be built, so that the traffic speed is not reduced and the number of traffic jams will also reduce. The government authorities should concentrate on constructing more subways rather than the signals as that will help regulate and control the traffic effectively, just as implemented in Ahmedabad. Things are always easier said than done but even if 10% of the people in the city start commuting through eco-friendly means like cycles to nearby destinations, the amount of traffic will eventually reduce. Bike pooling is also another alternative that can be adopted. Switching to public transport when commuting to shorter distance places will also help in a positive way.
The above-stated solutions are only measures and the possible ways to deal with the traffic problem in Bangalore or as a matter of fact in any city, but only when the citizens will own up to basic things like traffic rules and using eco-friendly transport means can we say a change has been inculcated. Until then hoping for a cleaner and traffic-free Bangalore city in the coming future.
Life Hacks To Beat The High-Cost Of Living In Bangalore:
Bangalore is known for its pleasant weather, the happening nightlife, delicious street food, various academic institutions, and whatnot, but Bangalore is also known to be one of the most expensive cities when it comes to India. It is undoubtedly the IT hub of India and hence all the youngsters are mostly concentrated here, Be it a family or an individual staying alone, managing the daily expenses is a herculean task in a city like Bengaluru. The GST taxes have only added to the current expenses. So how does one cut some slack and still lead a decent lifestyle in a city like Bangalore?
Let’s start with the most basic hacks that one can apply. So if you are living alone the best thing you could do would be to stay in an apartment or a PG which is close to your office or workplace, so that you can save money on travelling and it also saves time. Try to focus on just the apartment and the security aspect rather than focusing on lavish parks, pools and sports courts in your society, you can’t anyway spare time for these facilities when you have a 9-5 job. when travelling to short distance places one should try and commute via public transport for a change and also cut down on fuel expenses. If you are going to buy your own car try and buy a small affordable one and preferably a diesel car since petrol is very expensive. You can also go for eco-friendly options like CNG and LPG operated cars. Ola share or Uber pool would also do good when travelling within the city as they are economical.
Food is surely the most basic necessity and no one can do without it, but you must be smart in your choices. Try not to go to very extravagant and lavish hotels, the taste is what matters. Try to eat good street food on an outing or if you are relaxing back at home just use Swiggy or Zomato as they have so many discounts and offers. The best option would be to cook your own food as much as possible as it cuts down costs and is healthy too. Try to stick to the supermarket stores and the grocery stores that you visit since they help in cutting down the bills. Try to do most of your household chores on your own, since affording a maid in Bangalore for everything is very expensive. Try to do your own utensils, mopping and laundry at least. Try not to party and visit pubs on a regular basis. Twice or thrice in a month is sufficient. Bangalore’s Nightlife is very happening and that has lead to a steep rise in the entry charges of all the decent pubs and discos in Bangalore. Also try to cut down the electricity costs and save electricity by switching off the lights and fans of your room when not in use, every bit counts. Coming to clothes, I would advise you to shop smart that is to buy clothes that make you feel happy. Not just when you wear them but also when you think of your bills. Affordable fashion is the next big thing according to me. Try not to be brand focused or someone who only shops in malls or Brand outlets. Try street shopping or shopping at stores such as Max, FBB, Reliance trends, and pantaloons. They offer a wide range of variety at affordable prices. In the end, it’s a piece of cloth and it all comes down to how you carry what you wear.
Try to save whether you have just kick-started your career or you have a strong base in the industry. Savings will never go in vain. Try to save as much as possible and invest that money in an FD or SIP’S. Something is always better than nothing. Having said everything above, nothing is as difficult as it seems and if you know the tricks and hacks to an affordable lifestyle in any city, not just Bangalore, it’s only going to get better with time.
In this digital age, we do online transactions such as buying stuff, booking hotels and flight tickets, paying for grocery, and transferring money. Businesses also make transactions online, dealing with thousands of dollars. However, these transactions are not always safe because cyber hackers steal personal data, financial information, and bank details. Therefore, it is important that you take cybersecurity measures in your business. Individuals too must take the right steps when transacting online. There is a need to shield your digital assets, when hackers are on the prowl, attacking computer systems, sending malicious links and things like that. There are many benefits of implementing cybersecurity measures in your personal and professional sphere.

According to an article published on HuffingtonPost, a couple of businesses, usually, startups do not pay much heed to data protection. They do not realize that a virus attack on their computer systems would result in serious consequences. These include landing of business money in distrustful hands, customer data theft, customer complaints, complicated lawsuits, losing clients, and loss of revenues. Similarly, many consumers ignore cybersecurity when shopping or paying bills online. If you do so, you too might end up losing all your money if you are not careful.
Most business today including food and beverage, restaurants, utility, finance, and healthcare perform online transactions. You need internet connectivity to shell out money for bills or pay your suppliers when you have a business to manage. Your transactions should be safe and threat-free from internet hackers.
It is imperative that businesses and consumers understand the benefits of cybersecurity and take appropriate steps. It implies protecting all sensitive financial information that you use to make online transactions secure. Here are the top benefits of cybersecurity for your business:
Protects business data
Data security
With virus and malware attacks, your business data might be stolen. These include user IDs, passwords, security questions, payment data, and things like that. In such a situation, your company will need to own up to the security breach.
There are many instances when a company’s mission-critical information is stolen in one country but the attack originating from another part of the world. In these situations, people noticed that their personal data or mobile number has been changed, while others discovered that their loyalty points were used to book hotels for trips made abroad. Things can get more serious like seeing your bank account balance depleting unexpectedly when you have made no payments at all. That is why you need some cybersecurity solution to protect your personal, financial, and customer data. You need to deploy robust cybersecurity applications on a priority basis.
Protects the reputation of your business
In numerous instances, there are public websites, where security violation is hard to conceal. It means not able to hide your customer names, details of prospective buyers, and even business partners. There are hackers out there, who will have the ability to bring your whole business website down, injecting all web pages with malicious links and viruses. Now, this affects your reputation as a business owner. Consumers too should work with companies that have cybersecurity measures in place. For instance, websites like NationaldebtRelief, dealing with debts and customer data.
Your customers may not trust you anymore if they feel that their information is not safe with you. At least, they believe that. It is imperative to overcome the reputational harm caused due to a cyberattack, but it is difficult. You need to implement a set of powerful cyber security solutions to protect your brand repute and credibility. Take inspiration from Facebook, the company offering rewards and perquisites to application developers spotting bugs, viruses, and security threats on this social media platform.
Secures your bank money
A powerful, aggressiveinternet attack will have a significant effect on your company’s funds, especially the money kept in the bank. You will feel the brunt of the attack soon, while the major impact would be felt after some time. Your finances will dry out. That is the reason why you should have a robust software application to protect your banking transactions from unscrupulous hackers waiting to steal your funds.
To overcome the aftermath of cyberattacks, you need to shell out money to make things right. If you have a skilled IT department, then you are fortunate to cope with the situation.
However, small businesses may have a big IT team and therefore, need to outsource that proves heavy on the company’s budget. There are various costs involved like examining the threat, looking for a feasible solution, and ensuring that the same breach does not occur again in the days to come. You need to spend thousands of dollars to test an internet security application and then deploy the same.
That is the reason why companies with financial prudence make the most of the situation to perform a broader analysis of their website security. It will help you to reduce the cost of outsourcing if you do a meticulous review of your website before it is developed.
Whether it is actual money or virtual currency like in loyalty points, you will need to take the onus to refund the virtual money to your customers. In a couple of instances,it is mandatory and a legal necessity. Moreover, it is the right thing to do if you believe in business ethics. Whatever is the case, cyber attacks will cost you heavily.
However, the long-term effect of a security breach is not easy to ascertain. Your existing customers may leave you, and prospective ones may not trust because of the negative impression caused due to the cyber attack. Therefore, deploy cybersecurity measures to protect your bank money from falling into the hands of online hackers.
Conclusion
Choose cybersecurity solutions that protect your bank money, secure customer data, and help you do online business transactions without the risk of any threats. It is imperative that you implement the best security features throughout your business and across all departments. Take some time out of your busy schedule to research on cybersecurity solutions to keep your website safe from hackers.
Lover is a word highly exquisite and aesthetic in itself. But there exist no single specific meaning of the word. A person who loves someone or who is loved by someone is generally regarded as a lover. However, the word ‘lover’ is not as simple as it sounds. There exist umpteen layers that engulf the depths of the word called ‘lover’.
Pretty lovers man and woman
There exist different kinds of lovers. Some lovers are sweet & sensible, whereas some are violent & insane. There exist numerous other species and subspecies too. But here I’m going to talk about a grey, albeit, common yet a lesser understood species of lovers. The discussion won’t bore you I can bet unless you hate reading or thinking, for I cannot do anything in that case. (Winks intended)
A Lesser – Understood but Commonly – Found Species of Lovers
Young Lovers Holding Hands, talking to each other at cafe
Well, I have known people who love beyond all extremities. For them, their life rotates only round their lover; their mind, body and soul, all long only for their lover; their lover is the full stop of their life; all their ambitions collapse when it comes to their beloved. Such people only love to love and be loved by their lover. Such kind of lovers fall under a highly commonly – found cum lesser – understood type of species of lovers.
Such kind of lovers know no beyonds. They even show highly obsessive and irritating behaviour at times. Their behaviour includes doubting their lover unnecessarily (where they oftentimes know it’s completely pointless); wanting to be all – time close to their lover (which certainly isn’t possible every time); fighting unnecessarily over trivial issues; overreacting over useless points. They many – a – times become as angry as hell; their moods change faster than zephyrs. In one moment, they are wholly drenched in ardour for their lover; in the next moment, they are found sunbaked in the sauce of aggression. Many people can relate to this, I know. (Keep my sympathies.)
But as there exist two faces of every coin, the same is the case here as well. When such lovers love (free of the burden of their mind), there can’t be any comparison of a lover more passionate than them. Their love knows no bounds and limits. Such lovers are highly unique than the usual kind of lovers. They love forgetting everything, like there’s only one motto of their life, i.e., to love their lover wholeheartedly.
In addition, such lovers can go to any extent for their lover. Any bloody extent, I highlight (in an attempt to give a clearer picture)! That’s why they are often termed as ‘psycho’ or ‘insane’. But the question arises that are they psycho or insane in real. We generally judge people without ever trying to step into their shoes.
Here, I want to ask that do one ever tries to find out the root behind such lovers’ extreme possessiveness and insanity? Do one ever tries to do a psychoanalysis of such lovers’ moods and behaviours? Do one ever really tries to understand such lovers’ mentality behind their thoughts and actions? Rarely does anyone! Well, no human does anything merely out of interest. There lie some solid reasons that affect everyone’s mind and making. The same is the case with such kind of lovers.
We should always think the other way round as well. One should ponder over the thought that there oftentimes exist some obscurities veiled under the garb of madness and irrationality that blur our thinking towards others. To talk about such psycho cum short – tempered cum excessively possessive lovers, it can be said that it might be possible that they stayed all their life starving for love and affection. It might be possible that they never in their life even for a single moment experienced true love, and maybe that’s why after getting it they become highly possessive and crazy too (sometimes). Those who get something after the bitterest of turmoils generally value it far strongly and seriously than the ones who get it quite easily. So, one should never judge anyone without knowing the inner upheavals that torment his/her mind.
Apart from this, because of such lovers’ moodiness, obsessiveness, possessiveness and childish behaviour, they are often (on a broad level) believed to be untameable and dangerous. Although it is true in most of the cases, the fact is generally only partially understood. Such lovers are untameable and dangerous sometimes (or even oftentimes) only because they love their lover with whole their heart and soul. They cannot see anybody doing any harm to their lover; they fear losing their lover; that’s why they show some uncommon type of possessiveness. Never mind! Well, although such lovers are believed to be dangerous, I can bet that nobody can ever love like them. Nobody means nobody! For them, love is their life and breath; without their lover, they hardly can imagine living a single moment. Their lover is the beginning, middle and end of their life.
So, I hope from next time onwards (after reading this lil piece on “lover”), you’ll try to understand your lover’s thoughts and actions from an updated cum cool – headed perspective. Hope you have a lovely love life! Good luck ☺
