I don't care and I don't know are two phrases which are miles away from each other!

Let's first break the title of my blog.
I don't care - means not caring and
I don't know - means not knowing.
Two different things rite? but people mismatch its usage all the freaking time!

This happened today. I was hanging out with a friend of mine and it was around lunchtime, and I asked him "Where do you wanna go?"
 "I don't care"
So, I said, "Let's go to Burger King!"
He was like "Meh, I don't want burgers"
Did you see what happened there? He LIED!
He said he didn't care when he totally cared! If he truly didn't care he would have shut everything and came to burger king with me but nope he totally cared. It's not that he didn't care it's that he didn't know.

A very big argument that I get into almost every time I ask people what they want to eat. It's okay to
say that you don't know or as long as it is not burgers I don't care. Being selective about your I don't care is fine because you are saying the truth but saying that you don't care when you actually do care is not fine at all because you are lying. Lying is a terrible job and don't do it to my face with that much casualty. It's perfectly fine to say that "I don't know what I want at the moment how about you give me some suggestions and I will choose from that." This is PERFECT! You are not a liar and you are not eating the brains of the other person that's accompanying you.

 Do you know what I do? I truly, genuinely MEAN it when I say that I DON'T CARE! When I say I don't care I know that I'm giving up something valuable. My right to choose. My freedom. So, I do it only when I truly mean it. The way I do it is like I'm okay with any place that is vegetarian and the restaurant is of your choice. See, this way you are not hurting or demolishing the other person emotionally by vetoing everything that they suggest. Saying, I don't care means giving up freedom and freedom is not free so giving up your freedom is a pretty big deal and a very big commitment. STOP taking it lightly! It is NOT okay to say that I don't care when you do care start using I don't know it makes life much easier for yourself and all the people who are accompanying you.  Learn to use English and differentiate between I don't know and I don't care.

A.N: As I have joined a boarding school I'm not able to update my blog as I usually do, but the blogger in me is still alive and I will try to update every time I get access to the Internet. This was just a rant to let out the anger that I have been holding inside for too long and I wanted to let it out before it turned toxic so what better way than to let my frustration on my keyboard keys rite? Anyways, have you ever been in a situation like this and got frustrated but never let it out? Now is your chance! Let it out in the comment section below. Probably the shortest blog I have ever written.

    Awesome, my dear young lady! Yes, it is definitely right to release bottled up emotions to avoid toxicity of one's mind. The title intrigued me and found the explanation interesting!If internet is not available do not forget the good old habit of writing on paper with pen! Old-fashioned diary is still a handy tool. And think! All our literary giants were dipping their quill in ink to give vent to their emotions, imagination and brainwaves. they have become immortal works. I too maintain a blog mainly to collect my outpourings in various sites written at various times expressed in various literary forms and in both Tamil and English.In my ripe old age I enjoyed the pleasure of seeing my outpourings in print, in two books, in each language! The tagline of my profile is:reading and writing are my hobbies. Nice reading your blog after a long gap. I wonder if you remember me!

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...
