The Boys Are Too Refined- The Hush Sound

I heard this song and instantly smitten. I love everything about it. The vocals; the lyrics which are nothing but eloquence; the music; everything. 

I must find more melodious music from the wonderfully, ear-pleasing band: The Hush Sound.

‘Look at your hand. It is a piece of the universe. It’s millions of skin cells are each made of elements from the stars.’ 

Just look at your hand. Our hands alone have over a millions of skin cells; and if that many are our hands alone, just imagine how many skin cells are our body. And that too are made from element from the stars. 

We truly are a part of the universe. 

Wonderfully thought-provoking, isn’t it? 

I gazed in sheer amazement at his beautiful garden of art, studying his mural. It was magnificently breath-taking. Colors sprouted like unnatural trees, from every corner, bursting in a colorful symphony. My curiosity aroused - where was the order in his colorful pastiche? 

Then it hit me; there was no order in his symphony of colors. That was where the beauty lied. The beauty wasn’t in the order; it was in the unplanned harmony.

Just like being with him was.

Our school got granted a TEDx license, which is probably one of the best news I’ve heard in my life but to make our event - slated for November - happen, we need to get the attention of sponsors and for that, we need tons of likes. It doesn’t matter if you live in Dubai, we just need as many likes as possible.

Our theme is “ideas that can change the world,” and trust me, we’re all so, so passionate about this theme and we are all brilliant speakers. If we get the monetary support we need, this could very well be an AMAZING event.

I’m sorry to plug this so relentlessly but we desperately need our event to get the attention it deserves. 

Thank you thank you thank you!

‘Imagine a mirror that could reveal your personality. Would you dare look?’

I found this question intricately though-provoking. We think we know who we are…but in reality, do we really know? Do we really know who we are as a human being or are we just playing with our own minds? 

Which leads us to that the actual question about the mirror revealing your, how we can say, ‘true’, personality,would you dare look? And if you did look, how would you actually appear? Would appear just as yourself, or someone completely diverse? 

Wonderfully mind-boggling. 

“I was born with something that appealed to an audience at that particular time…I acted instinctively. I’ve had one of the greatest schools of all — a whole row of great, great directors.” ~ Audrey Hepburn 

Happy Birthday to one of the most inspirational actresses ever Audrey Hepburn! 

The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and instead in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.

Exactly two years, on this very day, one of BP’s largest oil well burst open, killing eleven men on the platform and injuring almost seventeen others. The well had gushed over 4.9 million barrels of crude oil, posing a threat to boats men, precious aquatic and feathery wildlife and endlessly polluting the Gulf of Mexico as well as several neighboring islands and coastal regions. 

Two years later, we re-kindle this awful, not-to-mention one of the world’s largest accidental marine oil spills in the history of petroleum industry and look at the aftermaths of this devastating, controversial event that literally took the world by storm. 

The eminent as well as intellectual American, young adult author and YouTube vlogger  John Green talks about early Islamic history and lucidly explicates the true story of Islam and it’s evolution in this wonderfully, well-presented video as part of his ‘Crash Course’ channel on YouTube. 

“We’re taught that ‘our’ history is the history of Christianity in Europe, when in fact, ‘our’ history is the story of people of the planet.” ~ John Green

‘If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that does not know it’s part of the tree.’ ~ Micheal Crichton 

There is so much beauty and profundity in this quote. And I honestly could not have framed better why people should study history more. 

History is a story of how society rose; how people thought; events that changed the world; events that still have an effect on the world today and so much more then that too. I find it ludicrous when people say that it’s pointless to study history in schools; to them, all I have to say is this eloquent quote by none other then Micheal Crichton. 

1938 - The year Britain had a new prime minister - Neville Chamberlain. Neville Chamberlain had faced the gruesomeness and chaos of World War 1, while having violent experiences himself. 

That having been said, had empowered Chamberlain. He was irrevocably determined to make sure that a repetition of World War 1 would not occur once more. In 1938, he stated: ‘When I think of those four terrible years of the First World War, and I think of the seven million young men who were killed, and the thirteen million who were maimed and mutilated, I feel it is my every duty to strain every nerve to avoid a repetition of the First World War.’ 

Chamberlain had to do something to make sure Hitler would not start another war, which was highly likely (which of course, as we all know, happened). 

Therefore, Chamberlain decided to follow an appeasement policy towards. Give him what Hitler what he wants, in hopes of having him satisfied and stop making even more demands. That was exactly Chamberlain’s thoughts when he had to deal with Hitler’s demands in 1938. 

But then the opposite occurred. The appeasement policy gave Hitler the idea that he could do whatever he pleased. So Hitler started demanding Sudetenland. It looked like another was definitely bound to happen. 

Chamberlain panicked. He couldn’t let the war happen. He couldn’t. Chamberlain arranged a last-minute meeting with Hitler in Munich, Germany.  

It something went wrong, another war could happen, flushing several nations and alliances into sheer doom.And who knows how long the war would last? Anything could happen at that present moment of time. 

Everyone held their breath. 

The meeting ended. The leaders walked out of the room; Chamberlain walking out with the agreement. The Munich Agreement. The Munich Agreement states that Hitler could regain Sudetenland as long as he stopped demanding territory. Chamberlain arrived in London the very next day, waving the paper which had Hitler’s signature in his hand as the crowd roared and cheered his welcome. 

But that wasn’t the end of it. With Hitler, a war was bound to happen.
