Thanks And Sorry ARE Neccessary!

In my personal opinion Sorry and Thanks are actually two really important words that can save many damages from happening to any relationships and can also repair damages that have already been caused. This was the basic principle that I live in or at least lived in until today. A strange thing was going on in my friends circle for the past week which really bothered me. So, here I am ranting about it since, I have no other way of releasing my stress.

"No Thanks Or Sorry Between Friends" Does this phrase sound familiar? That phrase is exactly what has been bothering me. Okay So, Today my friends and I were just fooling around. A normal day. I accidentally kicked my friend in her ankle. So, as a natural instinct I said "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose!" and she replied "Nah Its okay. No thanks and sorry between friends okay?." I was like "Yea alright cool." Later on that day, There was another incident and I once again used the phrase "Sorry" and one of my friends was like "Eww! Stop asking sorry" I was like what the hell? All I asked was a sorry I don't see anything so Eww in it. But somehow all my friends did and they started acting weird. As if I did a crime that was unforgivable. That's the story. Now, Reasons why I am angry about the whole situation:

  •      I am used to using the words Sorry and Thank you in my daily life. So, you don't just expect me to stop doing it in a minute just because you asked me to do so. 
  •      I don't see anything to be Eww at all about the situation. I mean all I said was sorry. What is so ew in that?

Okay, so sorry and thanks are two words which are very much necessary in any relationship as those are the words which make the relationship withstand for a long time. I know that you tell me not to say sorry or thanks because you think we have reached that level of understanding but honestly my friend, Without those words our friendship wouldn't last even for a week. You ask me why sorry and thanks are words I use very frequently? Because I care about our friendship more than my ego. You guys casually say that sorry and thanks are not needed and when I do say those words you treat me as if I am from another planet or something, But if you actually think about it sorry and thank you are one of the most magical words in the dictionary. Those two words alone save a lot of damage from taking place. Lets say your friend went through a lot of trouble in getting a gift for you and you didn't say thank you because of your "policy" and your friend ends up getting hurt thinking that the present wasn't good enough and you put on a fight with him/her and somehow patch up without using the word sorry. Somewhere inside your friend a sorry would have made it better. So, what I am trying to say over and over again through different combinations of the same words is that sorry and thanks you are extremely necessary and that they aren't a formality just an etiquette. One more thing when you are with a group of people and a person has a different opinion on the matter. Don't treat them different! Its a free country! People have the right to express their opinions you don't have to be not nice to them just because your view of things is different from theirs. What you should be doing is respect them for standing up for what they believe despite of the fact if it is wrong or right.

That's it with my rant... I don't know (people who are still reading this stupid thing written by a 14 year old) if what I did was right or wrong but what I do know is according to me saying sorry was a right thing and so, I am not going to go against it. So, people stand up for what you believe in or what you think is right even if it is wrong. Because if not you then who? If not now. Then when?

Capturing Moments, Creating Magic: My Journey as the Publicity Officer in Monash Malaysia Photography Society

 Oh boy, it's been quite the journey from "Publicity Subcom" to "Publicity Head" at the Green Representative Monash Club! I've been spreading eco-love like a caffeinated squirrel on a mission. 🌱☕ But guess what? During one of our beach cleanup escapades, I managed to network with the members of the Photography Society. 📸 Those camera-wielding wizards needed a Vice Publicity Officer, and my response was faster than a cheetah chasing a perfectly lit sunset! 🐆🌅 Why, you ask? Well, I figured if I can make Mother Nature look good, why not turn my lens toward humans too? 😄🌿 So, my debut act as the Vice Publicity Officer was all about recruiting the next generation of board directors. I decided to jazz it up with a retro theme – because who can resist a good old-fashioned throwback? It was like stepping into a time machine, only with more pixels and fewer bell bottoms. 🕺💾 Now, I'm not just spreading the green gospel; I'm capturing it in pixel-perfec...

COVID-19 - A Way Of Nature To Reclaim It's Space

Coronavirus (COVID-19) It is quite sad that the year that we all waited for is the same year that has turned the entire world upside down and into turmoil. By now you would have already guessed what I'm running to address here. Coronavirus (COVID-19) which originated from Wuhan, China. It's a virus that is spreading quickly and many more are becoming infected and some even dying. To contract the coronavirus you first have to come in contact with it either through an infected person's respiratory secretions such as a cough or a sneeze, through physical contact with them or by physically touching a surface that the virus is on and touching somewhere like your nose or your mouth before washing your hands, once the virus can enter the body, it's work can begin. The coronavirus has RNA which is the genetic information that is needed by any virus to replicate. Once the virus comes in contact with your cells it binds to receptors on that cell and once it finds its passage...

Navigating the Leo Club as the Publicity Officer: A Tale of Passion, Purpose, and Creative Adventures

In the world of community service and philanthropy, there's a spark that ignites when you find the perfect platform to channel your enthusiasm. For me, that platform was the Leo Club, where I embarked on a remarkable journey as the newly appointed Publicity Officer. As I look back on my journey so far, it's a blend of creativity, camaraderie, and a dash of humor that has defined the first quarter of my term. Revamping the Logo: The moment I stepped into my role, I knew it was time for a fresh start. The first task on my agenda was to breathe new life into our club's logo. It was more than just an image; it was our identity. The logo revamp was like giving our club a makeover, aligning it with the theme I had envisioned. Announcing the Change: With the new logo in place, I couldn't resist making a grand announcement. Instagram, our digital canvas, was my playground. I wanted the world to know, so I crafted a post that screamed change and progress. It was a small step, bu...
