Three Authors Who Can Enhance Your Writings
After spending a not-so-productive time in 2019, I decided to enhance my writing skills and do something productive on online platforms in the upcoming year. The first half of 2020 was filled with all-time legendary authors, and in the later half, comparatively new authors found their space on my bookshelf.

The Phenomenal Avril Lavigne
After 18 years of "Let Go," my night music sessions still start with the incredible voice of Avril Lavigne. Starting from "Let Go" to "Head Above Water," she never failed to mesmerize us with her unbelievable lyrics, music, and voice. Every time I listen to her voice, it's always like the first time.

From Screens To Screening
Waking “DOWN” Snoozing the alarm clock for 5 minutes is a daily ritual, and by pressing that snooze button, you take your first step towards “medical screening.” Doesn’t this custom show the weakness of your commitments? Every night we promise ourselves to wake up at 6 AM, but after a long unproductive activity that lasts till 2 PM, we push our commitment by 3 hours. I did this almost every day in 2020. How does this connect to our health?

Doctor On A Killing Spree
Around the 1880s, when Jack the Ripper's killings were terrifying the people of London, Americans thought they were safe, but they didn’t know that a mad doctor was on a killing spree. He was the “Holmes” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle warned us about, as Dr. Watson hinted in one of his journals that it's a blessing that Sherlock Holmes decided to use his powers to solve the crimes and what an amazing criminal he would have become if he decided to go against the law. H. H. Holmes was the latter one.

Change your life by Passive Income
Most people struggle in their 9–5 and are getting paid for their 9–5 struggle. They only earn 56 hours of the week for their work. This is called active income. You can’t earn enough to visit any country you want and buy anything you want from this income. You need to earn money even when you are not working, and this earning is passive income. People who earn in 6 figures depend not only on their 9–5 income but also on their sleep. Yes, you read it right, renting your multi-story home in one of the examples.

How the Indian Education System is killing students?
Beginning Only after a few years of your childhood freedom, most of India's children are dumped into a school that teaches nothing apart from academics. Most of the schools have almost no facilities for music, dance or sports activities, now as the school doesn’t have these facilities a child never gets exposed to them completely. Even though a child expresses his interest in some extra-curricular activities that he considers worth pursuing, it is either suppressed by their parents or school due to lack of facilities. He also starts to wonder that most people are only studying in academic institutions, which means other activities are not good career options. He ultimately suppresses his interest. The prime problem arises from a lack of exposure. If one never gets exposed to various things in life, he’ll never know either he likes it or not.

Music Love and Brain Magic
Music always helped me getting transported to a world where nothing mattered. I can’t imagine what could have become of me without the music. It helped me get through the night when it seemed impossible, it became the peace of my nights amidst the war, and most importantly, it helped me escape the materiality of this world when I needed it the most. I still can’t understand what magic it does and heal my wounds for a while. I think music creates a different self within you and helps you see the broader picture of life. There is strong psychology behind this. Here, I present to you the thoughts of a Melomaniac (exaggeration).
