Why Boredom is Good For You
In a recent experimental study aimed at exploring the depths of human behavior and the aversion to boredom, participants were subjected to an intriguing scenario. They were placed in a room devoid of distractions, armed with nothing but a button that ominously promised a shock upon pressing it. Their task? To entertain themselves with their thoughts, with the option to administer the shock upon themselves if they so desired. What ensued from this seemingly simple setup was a fascinating revelation about the human psyche.

Proud ViM,'Top Notes'
Our world has faced challenges many times over the course of its charred and destructive history. There have always been people and forces of evil with ill intent; bound by the dogged arrogance that their opinion and beliefs should be set upon the world. As we collectively, or rather those in the echelons of power, never seem to learn, the minions amongst us are invariably left holding the shattered glass of humanity. Bearing the consequences in our souls.

Classifieds: The Ad Collab (Unofficial Challenge)
The Call to Creators Has Been Answered! This past month eight fantastic and unique writers have participated in my unofficial challenge here on Vocal: “The Ad Collab”. “The Ad collab” is a challenge born from my desire to generate an opportunity for creatives to connect and collaborate. Vocal, for me, has been a place where I’ve found a home for my writing to flourish and community. This community has been encouraging, loving, and welcoming. It has made my heart happy. And I wanted to be a part of it coming even closer together. Thus, “The Ad Collab” was born.

If you are struggling with self-confidence read this, Acceptance is the key to being confident in your abilities. I recently participated in a marketing case study competition Case-O-Mania organized by IIM Lucknow. I am elated to share that I was selected as the Top 7 finalists amongst 770+ participants and presented my case in front of the esteemed panel of Pepper Content.

I have some photo prompts for you! Similar to Poppy's awesome word prompts, I'm planning to have anyone who wants to write contribute. But dissimilarly, I won't be choosing a winner, so this is not a challenge. Just prompts! And photo prompts, to boot.

Check Mate Vocal!
Check Mate! I have learned two things recently: First, no one likes anyone outside the social norms. Second, no company or business likes people who share their thoughts on such matters.

To Collab...Or Not to Collab?
A feature article by the wonderful Paul Stewart, you can delve into his words here: The good and the great Celia in Underland and Mother Combs asked if I would like to write something for ViM Productions. Initially, it would be an interview, but for undisclosed reasons, this was a logistical nightmare for me. There was a suggestion of doing a "send me the questions" and "I'll send the answers" style thing, but that would have felt stilted and dull as dishwater to read. So, the idea was put to me about writing an article of some sort.

Getting Really Tired of Never Winning a Vocal Challenge
I'm really getting tired of never winning the vocal challenges. There much lower probably because they are using the "investment" money so we are using our money we invest just comes back to us. I used to think writing on Vocal was fun making side cash, I'm almost at 305 or 304 stories is there an incentive nope. There used to be incentives. Now, it feels like I am being used to make a profit, and I don't get to see the money. Takes forever to, get certain stories accepted.
