The energy pump of helping to heal someone who genuinely wants to help themselves and grow.
Versus
The energy drain of being dumped on by someone who just wants to vent, crib and play victim.
Years later, the making of Adipurush and the subsequent release + reception should be used as the source material/ premise for a disaster comedy film.
I would pay good money to watch that.
Why do hundreds of birds swarm the skies above Jatinga, Assam at the end of the monsoons and plunge to their deaths?
Do these birds intentionally come here to die? Or is there something else that pulls them here?
Our latest episode is out now.
Every year, at the end of the monsoons, the village of Jatinga in Assam turns into a site of mass bird suicides.🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛
But why?
Listen to this week's episode of Spooks to find out the whole story!

13. Never Identify With Ideas
People don't have ideas. Ideas have people.
You are just a vessel for ideas to pass through
2nd album syndrome and writer's block are often caused by the creator building an identity to defend
The crankiest, most irritable people I meet eventually give up the same secret.
"Sleep is for lazy people. Look at me. I do just fine on 3-4 hours a night."
When there's obvious danger, we fight, flight or play dead.
What but if the threat or abuse isn't immediate or identifiable?
Then our psyche can't signal us to run, play dead or fight.
That is when we fawn. We appease. We avoid conflict. And over time, give away our power.

Many people assume they are bad at writing because it is hard. This is like assuming you are bad at weightlifting because the weight is heavy.
Writing is useful because it is hard. It's the effort that goes into writing a clear sentence that leads to better thinking.
Was both annoying and deeply satisfying to watch Evil Dead Rises in a packed theatre.
The guy sitting behind me kept muttering "nahi nahi nahi!" whenever the suspense was building. And when the protagonist made bad decisions, he let loose the choicest of expletives. 😂😂
Every story I've begun with plot has turned out to be a struggle.
Every story I've begun with character has turned out to be a deeply satisfying experience.
Woke up to this shoutout from one of my favourite authors 😀
Just listened to this great podcast about Indian Railway ghosts. Featuring a British Colonel who committed suicide because of an erroneous math calculation and a railway station officially listed as haunted by the railways and closed for 42 years. open.spotify.com/episode/4uR…

'Rumors' - that is dark folklore deeply routed in history from all corners of India.
Listen to @hackiechan uncover how these real events became stories that make people still shiver today.

All of experience is a Rorschach test. It stimulates what's already in your mind and you merely see what you want to see.
