Evil Eye- Myths and Superstitions

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions Of A Random Blogger!’ A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about superstitions revolving around diamonds. In that post, I spoke about the superstition of the evil eye. The Evil Eye is one of the few myths or superstitions that I actually wholeheartedly believe in. Therefore, […]

Types of Annoying People on Instagram

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms that has ever existed. In fact, if you’re anywhere between the ages of 8 to 81, you’ve probably had some sort of experience using the social media platform. Personally, Instagram serves as a practical way to fight boredom, stay connected with friends, learn about current […]

beetleypete- Random Blogger Interviews

An interview with an English multi-niche blogger with over 7,500 followers- everything from the creative process during the pandemic, to future aspirations to a discussion about writing as a career path. I would like to sincerely thank Pete for allowing me to interview him. Be sure to check out his blog if you haven’t already!

‘Watched’- June-July

So every couple of months I like to come here and talk about some of the movies and television shows I’ve watched over the past few months. Unlike my music favourites series, in which I’m pretty positive about the items on the list, I’m usually pretty critical during the instalments of this series. Solely because of the fact that for every good movie I watch, there are around 5 bad ones that take its place. Maybe I’m just really bad at picking out movies? Maybe Netflix is just absolutely terrible at recommending things that I’ll actually like?

Music Favourites of June-July

I believe that music has the power to completely change a person’s mood, state of mind and even physical capability (haven’t we all run a little too fast on the treadmill while listening to that one song?). Therefore, every couple of months I come here and talk about my favourite music of the past couple of months. Not because any of you really, truly care; but because I just like to talk about music.

Toxic Productivity

Instead of ‘going and getting that bread’ why not just take a break and some bread instead? No, you are not a failure because you didn’t create a startup during the ongoing uprise of a deadly virus that’s killing millions and millions of people. No, you are not a failure because said hypothetical start up […]

Borrowed Poems From an Anonymous- ‘Senescence’ and ‘Surveillance’

“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.”

Lifesfinewhine- The Random Interviews

Hey there! Welcome back to ‘The Confessions of a Random Blogger!’ I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Pooja from Lifesfinewhine. She was one of the first bloggers I ever came across when I first started blogging, and she continues to be an inspiration for me and multiple other bloggers I’m sure. I would like […]

The Rise of The Anti-Role Model

I think it’s time we stop encouraging this strange narrative that celebrities singing and dancing on stage for a pay-check are somehow responsible for your child’s mental and psychological development. Sorry parents! You might have to actually start raising your own children instead of turning on the television and deciding that the first person that pops up on screen is your kid’s brand new parent.

Diamonds-Superstitions

Ah yes, diamonds. Those shiny little rocks that humans have somehow deemed worthy of extreme monetary value. The status symbol of the wealthy. Derived from the Greek word ‘adámas’ which translates to unbreakable, diamonds have cemented themselves as both a form of currency and status. However, why are diamonds so celebrated? They aren’t really that […]
