Why are Jokes so Funny? The Science of Humour, The Humour of Science

Dining In or Eating out? Which is Right for Today's Youth

As college students, eating out is often the only option you have. And the moment you enter that economic Chinese place that boasts of shabby-chic (well mostly shabby than chic), near your apartment or hostel, the smell of honey chilli chicken whooshes into your nostrils and makes you drool incessantly. Soon you forget all your dietary goals and budget constraints and dive straight in, to over-ordering a meal fit for an entire family of four. And while you are feeling guilty munching on sticky chicken wings that are leaving behind a sinful trail of sauce; you reflect on your culinary mutiny and secretly plan to cut short your stationery budget of pens to make up for this deliberate slip up. 

You begin to feel like an addict gone out of control who simply cannot justify their failure to meet dietary limits, is it just stress eating or is this happy eating?!  Soon the nightmarish thoughts of you asking for pants of waist-size ‘bear and Chinese food’ come to your mind and leave you shaken as you feel your bulging tummy, tugging to the extreme stretches of your shirt/top.

Why You Should Meditate in College And Tips on How to Get Started

These days college students barely get any time to wait and smell the roses or even talk their heart out in person (not on social media), so it is evident that they will not get any chances to meditate even it is for half an hour every day.

How Do You Realize You Are Now A Man?

If you are reading this and are a fan of student offers in restaurants then you must be above the age of 20. So, legally you are now an adult. But are you? Being in a country with a cosmopolitan culture and the constant pressure of western civilizations on our living standards (not that we are complaining), it is often difficult to truly grasp the ceremonious moment when we go over the cusp of childhood and cross the unseen line to be deemed as an adult. When do we know that we have emerged from the shackles of boyhood to be a man?

We have a culture that in the modern times is not just varied but also subtle. The real man it seems is proactive about sharing pro-feminism quotes and secularist posts on social media, but what about when he spews out the most colorful curse words when an auto rickshaw takes a sudden wrong turn in front of him or a car tries to overtake him from the right?! Where is his pro-feminism when the only insults he uses to shame other wrong-doers both male and female are insults to women, objectification to women’s physique and remarks on a woman’s character related to the wrong-doer?!

In today’s time being a man is a confusing existence, at one end there is the bombardment of heroism, bravery and character of what Ram or Braveheart! But at the other end we now love to watch bone-ticklingly funny shows of pathetic men like Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin. So, how can a man act like? What should he do?

What are the true characters of a man?

• A real man does not talk bad about a girl or call her names just because she rejected him. He knows that everybody is worth their own opinion and freedom of choice and gender has nothing to do with that.
• A man is also a go to handyman for household fixtures. We do not intend to be sexist by saying that only men must know how to fix things around the house. But things like leaky faucets, to creaking fans to busted light bulbs and calling a repairman to fix such puny problems every time can be a major headache especially in these modern times. Thus, it is important to know how to fix a few basic things.
• A man is what a man eats! While taste is an important factor and humans more than any other animals are the most adventurous when it comes to tasting food, but a true man knows the importance of health and fitness. A little caution about what you put in your mouth and realizing that getting a little exercise every day is god for you are what shape manhood from adulthood.
• Men must master money matters. It is a fact that money is not everything in life and there are several other things that are priceless so to speak. But money also means proper living standards, proper food and proper education and upbringing for your future generation. Hence, men mustn’t misinterpret money matters. Self discipline and a few enjoyments once is awhile is the right combination to enjoy a balanced and financially healthy life.
• Men can enjoy on their own, with their own company. With time we come to realize that we are ultimately left alone in life at times, be it after graduating and moving to a new town for work, be it moving out from your parent’s house or after your kids grow up and move on. So, a man must muster enjoying his own company. Do not dwell in the past live in the present and do not let the future worry you all the time.

These are a few hallmarks of a real man. Tell us when you realized you have turned into a man from a boy. And know that you can still be a man and save money while being a student in college with student discounts online.
