The Talking Kathmandu

In a game, the top three players are given Gold, Silver and Bronze medals. Among these three players, how would you rate the happiness level and satisfaction of these players. Who would be the most happy and who the least one? Of course, the normal observation would be the first, Gold Medal winner would be most happy followed by the Silver and Bronze medal winner. That's perfectly relevant with what our intuition says. But that's not what the research signifies. Many research suggests that the most unhappy face in those three is the middle one, the silver medal winner. And that is something counter intuitive and interesting phenomenon observed in human behavioral domain. The misery and unhappiness inflicted in the Silver medal winner is due to the setting of alternative reality that he has set out in his mind, that hurts him the most than the two others. The Gold medal winner is happy, of course, he has every possible reason to be happy. But of silver and bronze medal, the Bron

The fear of not doing can be as real as the fear of heights or darkness. The internet is filled with ‘how to be more productive’ self help links. This shows our obsession with being of some use. This blog post can be relevant to those people who are obsessed with creating, those people who get an adrenaline rush when solving a problem and those people who just want to escape boredom. The urge to always create or be of some use is a natural human character in all of us but the intensity and cause of that urge can differ from person to person. It can sometimes even be counter-productive to always worry about being productive. I experience this myself. If I haven’t done anything productive for more than a day or two I fall into this abyss of low spirit, I don’t feel good about myself.  There might be many forms and causes of this phenomenon.  There is a medical term called chronophobia, it is the fear of time or passing of time. On a macro level, this can be evident at important event

"Well, it's time to be active", said the mind and heart, only to be overshadowed by the intention of the body, to keep lying on the corner of bed. Putting all of the "to be done"(or wished to be done) at stake, at once, my mind and heart who were at one moment before disagreeable now become convinced, and all three of them, the mind, the heart and the body coalesce in perfect unity to enjoy the journey of a momentarily heavenly pleasure, only to regret it later. This thing happens again and again (and again) in repeated cycles. In some cases, I manage to overcome the pleasure intentions of body with my mind and heart. Nevertheless, it is the body, at most of times, that vanquishes all the will, determination and feeble motivation for a pleasure of its own. It is that noxious thing (though i fall for it often) called laziness that is ingrained so deep, I think, coming out of it, would be a way too onerous.                  I have a full knowledge on the laziness

Are you a multilingual who prefers one language over other for a specific task and another language for another task? Do you always use a language in a certain environment and a different language in some other environment even when you are not specified?  What might be on work here? First let us ask who is a multilingual person? Multilingualism according to some might be the ability to communicate in more than one language and for some it may be being able to more than just communicate in more than two languages. For some, being fluent simultaneously in several languages might also be a requirement. If being able to speak and understand more than one language is multilingual, more than half of the world's population is multilingual. If being fluent in more than one language simultaneously is multilingual a little less than half of the population is multilingual. And if the requirement asks for you to know more than two different languages fluently the share decreases to between
