What can you learn about someone's personality just by watching them?

What can you learn about someone's personality just by watching them? Here's a fun and simple take:

1. The Geek: If a young guy in glasses is always fidgeting—shaking his leg, cracking his knuckles, or twirling his wrists while talking—he's probably a geek and commands a huge army in World of Warcraft. He probably doesn't have a girlfriend.

2. The Book Lover: If someone is always hunched over and looks shorter than they are, she loves reading (especially history books) and prefers her cat to people. She can easily spoil Game of Thrones for you.

3. The Makeup Queen: If a girl wears lots of makeup, false lashes, and tattooed eyebrows, she gets offended easily. If you could wash her face (not that you should!), you'd see she's more naturally beautiful without the makeup.

4. The Friendly Joker: If someone smiles a lot, chats with strangers, jokes around, and makes funny faces at babies, he's a great friend. He might be a bit unreliable, but he's good-hearted and innocent.

5. The Crafty Grandpa: If an old man carves little ducks from wood or makes pebble sculptures, ask him about his life. He has amazing stories.

6. The Elegant Grandma: If an older woman has perfect hair, makeup, and classy manners, she's very smart and can teach you a lot about treating people well.

7. The Plain Jane: If a woman doesn't wear makeup and dresses plainly, she's probably very hardworking and smart. When she leaves her job, it’ll take three to five people to replace her.

8. The Mustachioed Guy: If a short man has a big mustache and gold teeth and is always laughing, don't mess with his daughter. He might actually kill you with a shovel.

9. The Fitness Fanatic: If someone is always in workout clothes, has a water bottle, and is super fit, they probably love the gym and might talk your ear off about their latest workout.

10. The Phone Zombie: If a person is constantly glued to their phone, barely looking up, they probably live on social media and might miss the world around them.

11. The Nervous Nellie: If someone is always biting their nails, fidgeting, or looking around nervously, they're probably anxious and worry a lot about things.

12. The Fashionista: If a person is always dressed in the latest trends and looks like they stepped out of a magazine, they probably love fashion and care a lot about their appearance.

13. The Foodie: If someone takes pictures of every meal and knows all the best restaurants, they're a foodie who loves trying new dishes and might give you great food recommendations.

14. The Nature Lover: If a person often wears hiking boots and has a sun-kissed complexion, they probably love the outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking or camping.


What is that one picture that describes the lowest point in your life?

Once upon a time, this picture was taken on January 5th, 2023, after all the serious stuff was done, my parents decided to take a leave of absence from life, one after the other, within just 13 days. Fast forward to now, I’m in a position that’s like standing in line at the DMV – no school, no job, no cash, basically nada – living the solo life in my house. My friend circle's so tiny, I could count them on one hand, maybe two. So, basically, I’m like a solo superhero without the cape, trying to navigate this mess.

Flashback to November 5th, 2022, the last snap of my mom. She wasn’t herself, looking all frail and not so hot. It all started on February 14th, 2022, the day my dad and I got the news flash that she had stomach cancer, and where it came from, nobody knew. Docs were scratching their heads, and treatments were like throwing spaghetti at the wall. She did the chemo hustle for six months straight, puking her guts out daily, barely nibbling on anything. But man, she had this epic faith in herself, like she was gonna kick cancer's butt, no questions asked.

Jump to October 22, 2022, the day of the hospital hop for her usual chemo session. She was hurling like a champ, but still, with a tear in her eye, she pushed me to grab some grub, even though she hadn’t chewed solid food in ages. The next day, she couldn’t face another round of chemo agony. We packed up and headed home, a solid 190 Km from the hospital. That was her last chemo ride. Come December 7th, she bid adieu to this world.


Now, onto my dad, snapped during the 2018 Durga Puja looking all festive. You’re probably wondering why he wasn’t in the mix earlier. Well, while mom was fighting her battles, he was in his own ring with kidney failure, a side effect of being a diabetic dude. So, by July 2022, he was a regular at the local hospital, doing dialysis dance sessions like it was his new hobby. It was a tag-team struggle – mom with her chemo woes and dad with his kidney blues. Seeing them both battle it out for dear life was like watching a tragic comedy show.


Fast forward to December 19th, 2022, the night we laid mom to rest. Dad wasn’t doing too hot, but he still managed to pull me close, promising to have my back, even though mom had already clocked out.


December 20th, 2022, the day I wasn’t feeling too peachy myself. Suddenly, chaos erupted, and there I was, in the middle of it, watching dad wrestle with his breath, shouting about seeing black spots. Rushing him to the hospital was a chaotic blur, only to be met with a no-show from the doc squad. Thanks, government hospitals. Dad fought hard, but eventually, he clocked out too, right in my arms.

So, here I am, 21 years young, feeling like I’m doing the limbo at rock bottom. But hey, I like to think they’re up there, chilling together, free from life’s chaos.
