My Pseudo Intellectual Ramblings

What's the similarity between confectionery and hormonally driven mental responses, as the title may seem to suggest? Nothing, except they both have generated varying demands in the market over the years.  Moving on from that somewhat disastrous attempt at generating your interest, let me elaborate a little. It would be unfair to say that romance has been turned entirely into a commodity by the advancement of technology. Finding love has become easier, more convenient, and with significantly more options than real situations. That's what makes it so reliable as an idea to develop a business around. The demand never subsides. Customers are offered more than what they need, and it is human nature to want to explore all their available choices. Understandably, this is seen as a way to combine monetary interests and customers' wishes to create a thriving ecosystem of dating apps and matrimonial sites.

This blog was supposed to be a personal page for rambling, except I really feel the need to update it with what some other people may consider a tiny, trivial thing but I consider a milestone in my pretty uneventful and not so long life so far.

There is nothing more overhyped than the theme of ambition by the millennial and Gen Z dominated social media, and I honestly have a lot of thoughts about it. To begin with, why ambition is blatantly linked to workaholism is something that I simply cannot understand. It amuses me how people actually believe that confining yourself to a particular job for more than the stipulated time it requires is cool. It isn't, and while the feeling of earning and being self sufficient is indeed worth the effort, there are other aspects of life that need equal efforts and time to be nurtured and developed.
