An Unusual Passion

Everyone has a knack for doing something they admire and strive towards, and being a music critic would be an uncommon ardor. A music critic is a person who is professionally engaged in the analysis and interpretation of works of art. Whether it is in a foreign language or their own, people tend to keep an opinion about the art they listen to. The discography of an artist is the combination of various styles, genres, instruments, techniques, composition, layers, and ideas that are used to produce an album or single by the artist. Bound to the boundaries of my home due to the lockdown amid the Coronavirus, I stumbled upon BTS' music, and to say the least, I was mind blown when I discovered the making of their art. BTS's breakdown of their music got me into the art of criticizing music. I was keen to choose the analysis of music as a passion as I habitually interpret the music I listen to. An example of an artist making me discover something new is when I got to know SUGA's s

More Power to Awais!

Earlier this week, a video surfaced of two women degrading the manager of their high-class cafĂ© Cannoli. The two women, named Uzma and Diya, are seen demeaning their manager of nine years, Awais, who is not fluent in the English language. Credit: @/KinzaDilshad on Twitter The video starts with the cafĂ© owners stating they are bored and then calling their manager to interview him. Diya - one of the owners, introduces him by letting everyone know that he is one of the oldest employees at Cannoli.  The ladies criticize Awais's eloquence in the English language and embark on the number of courses he has taken over the years to learn English. Awais, on the other hand, stands quiet at the other side of the camera.  Being fluent in the English language is not something to flaunt to make others around you feel belittled. If its education and high-class status that you boast, and it cannot teach you how to treat people, it is useless to acquire such pitiful possessions. Speaking English doe

These aren't protesters.

Trump allies have penetrated the Capitol building, destroying 4 layers of security fencing, and are endeavoring to possess the structure — battling government police who are invaded. This is a savage endeavor by homegrown fear-based oppressors at toppling the democracy for racist dictatorship. The individuals who cried about a Target getting broken into, have polluted the country's Capitol building. A woman was shot in the chest on Capitol grounds as the animals force themselves in. America needs  a reconstruction of values. The force present at the Capitol for possible terrorists, compared to the force task assigned to peaceful BLM protests, is a joke.

Confusion

"Speak, and let others speak as well." Credits: Jot It Down By Aina What causes interference among a bunch of dysfunctional bickering lunatics? Confusion. Were they to listen to each other, there wouldn't be a question.  It is this irking human trait that they simply do not listen. The emphasis is not to hear the other one, but it is to perceive and hark what they say.  A conversation comprises a speaker and a listener. Communication is the name given to the exchange of ideas from one person to another.  The havoc caused by an ordinary uncertainty is an amusing sight. A hint of skepticism, and voila, you have a priceless exhibition. Just the very thought of being the right one, which is applied in all senses, is so compelling to one's ego that it consumes every sensible and ethical approach to a situation.  Confusion gives roots to such grave misconceptions that it becomes useless to accept the certainty of the notion because of the effect that the undistinguished lac

Upended Expectations

"Expectations as to how this will happen for you usually holds people off because they unconsciously shut themselves off to other pathways to the same target, believing that their only strategy would allow them to achieve their concept of achievement." Picture Credits: Jot It Down By Aina “I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.” Quoted by Bruce Lee. One can never fully perceive what is to happen; it may be following what the person expects, something in the middle, or the complete opposite; however, imposing expectations on oneself or anyone or anything is utterly unacceptable. The society which we live in today forces their expectations on everyone consisting of the society, imposed regardless of whether they are related to the person targeted or not. Everyone has distinct mentalities, not only distinct mentalities but a labyrinth of them and what makes them different from each other is their approach to things

Their influence stretches beyond the classroom!

An eliciting admirable mentor can do wonders; how they illuminate their pupils to ameliorate their flaws is unparalleled. Picture credits: Jot It Down By Aina We have all had our fair share of teachers, from one's worst nightmare to an angel in disguise. Their contribution to society is exceptional in all the ways they influence their students. They nurture the youth of a nation and cultivate their mentees and elevate them to extend to their true potential.  An eliciting admirable mentor can do wonders; how they illuminate their pupils to ameliorate their flaws is unparalleled. The shadow of a noteworthy teacher bespeaks in his students. One can contemplate this, but a teacher's guidance is never strictly confined to pedagogy; it also influences their comportment. Even a minor flattering remark means a heap of stimulation for a devoted learner. The aptitude of carrying out constructive criticism is a particular aspect of a teacher that others, very few, can achieve. The endeavo

Your Authority Does Not Make You Superior

Credits: Jot It Down By Aina The human urge to exert authority is far greater than his value of morals. You can quite literally sense a sharp-witted, quintessential authoritative individual from one who is under the authority itself. When you talk with someone influential, you ought to do so with respect because you are made aware of their prominence.  You are helpless right now; had you had the authority, you would turn the tables, won't you? That way, the way they are inducing problems for you, you would do the same to them, even worse if conceivable. Now that is authority. The way an individual is treated strictly according to their authority in unreal if you look at it; how you feel a commitment to well-wish someone in command, and the need to brush off anyone under you. I reckon this post is very much but a proper one, but I feel the need to put this out, to however much of an audience I can.  Just because you have power over someone, does not mean you own them. Authority is l
