Diary of a High School Nerd

Alright since I'm home, I decided to clear up my old stuff...
I went through my old trunk and guess what I found?
10 diaries!!!
I had nothing better to do so I tried reading them.
The first one horrified me! I was such a nerd back in school.
Arrgh! And everone(almost) took advantage of my naiveity and made fun of me...
Why am I so dumb? Just because I scored full marks in mathematics doesn't mean I'm smart..
I just realized.
I had the 'hugest' crush on the cutest guy in class and (though I didn't realize it at that time)everyone was laughing at me behind my back.
It's funny that 'cool girls' should pick on 'nerds' to boost their ego. It sucks.
It still affects me emotionally and I think this is why I'm so emotional O_O
Or was I just born emotional???
In all my 20 years of existence, I don't remember a time when I didn't get attracted to the opposite sex.
How unforunate!
It's a catastrophe. Really. Because the only time that I get the same attention from them is when I dance, or when they need help with their home-work or with their 'crushes'.
How 'uncool' is that?
Another thing is that I was usually a teacher's pet. I found my old greeting cards and found one sent by my hostel warden. How weird is that? I mean she didn't send it to all the boarders for sure. Almost every teacher found me to be obedient and smart and responsible.
It wasn't my choice to be the Asst. Class Representative in some of my classes, I don't a have leadership quality. I didn't want to be the Asst. Secretary in the Evangelical Union and I didn't want to be the announcer for that little church programme in Doordarshan.
Why was I treated like this?
Because I was(maybe still am) a push-over. A nerd.
End of story.

10 Fascinating Tribes with a Headhunting History

Image
Headhunting is a savage (and thankfully historic) custom that was once carried out in many parts of the world for a wide variety of reasons. Some tribes even continued with the practice until the mid-20 th century [ Source ]. For those who practiced it, chopping off a person’s head wasn’t just about violence or revenge. Headhunting played a significant role in their social and religious lives; the severed heads often gracing auspicious ceremonies and rituals. You’ve probably heard of the famous shrunken heads made by Amazonian headhunting tribes or of the Maori tribe’s tattooed heads. In addition to these more-well-known communities, there are plenty of tribes for whom headhunting is a meaningful and iconic part of their cultural history. Here are some fascinating communities from around the world who share a common past of headhunting: 10.

Mythical Creatures from Mizo Legends

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when people say “North-East India”? Is it the food? Is it the picturesque landscape and mountains? Or is it the culture? Whatever it is that you associate with this region, let me introduce you to a side that you might have never heard about – the mythical creatures from our folklore. Since I wasn’t able to get much contribution from friends in the other parts of this region, I’m going to focus on folklore from Mizoram. I have to admit, there aren’t many written documentations for these stories. Most of them have been passed along for generations through word-of-mouth, so you might find some inaccuracies in the details. Regardless of that, these creatures have fascinated me since childhood and I hope you love reading about them too. Here goes: Pheichham – Pheichham is the name given to a creature that is most likely a djinn or a type of goblin. The exact definition isn't clear since there aren't many written

An Unforgettable Movie-Watching Experience with "Pan's Labyrinth"

Image
Although I'd heard of Guillermo del Toro before, I had never really paid attention to who he was and what kind of works he delivers. Watching "Pan's Labyrinth" burnt his name into my brain because I am never going to forget this beautiful yet harrowing piece of work. Symbolisms and technicalities aside, this movie is like a "reel" version of a dusty and heavy dark fairy tale book. (I am not a movie expert or an expert in symbolism – this post is just a personal opinion about the movie.) While certain scenes like the one where the giant toad vomited its own stomach and the one where Captain Vidal stitched up his own mouth were very repulsive, they were still very intriguing. Although experts would continuously analyze these scenes and give their opinions about what each scene symbolizes, an average audience would only find them as another reason to "be in love with the movie". Understood that the director is trying to tell us much more, but fa
