Circular Gallifreyan Appreciation Post

-
You've heard of Klingon, now get ready for Circular Gallifreyan!

Circular Gallifreyan is the writing script of the Time Lords of Gallifrey, as seen in the telly show Doctor Who. Though it is hard to translate or write, this fictional invention is really amazing.

I mean, it makes really boring sentences look awesome! Like this one :


Yeah, "bowties are cool" is also a Whovian inside joke, but still, look how awesome that is! 

I'll just go ahead and post some more of these, because circular Gallifreyan is the best thing since sliced bread (atleast I believe so)


"Allons-y!"


"Take a sad song and make it better"(a.k.a. the lyrics to 'Hey Jude')


"I have loved the stars too fondly to be afraid of the night"


"This is circular Gallifreyan" (that's circular-ception!)


I also came across this brilliant Tumblr post the other day:



If you're thinking that this is just a made-up script with no particular rules or grammar, let me stop you there. If you Google 'circular Gallifreyan' you'll find tons of links directing to sites which tell you how to read it, translate it and if you put in some effort, you can even write it yourself! Also, there are apps you can download that translate English text into circular Gallifreyan. (If you're a Whovian, I can tell you that there's an app that can make your recorded voice sound like a Dalek. Go on, try it, it's fun! )

I'm sure most of this doesn't make any sense to you and I probably lost you at "Time Lords of Gallifrey", but if you did get it, ten points to Gryffindor! (Er, or whichever house you belong to)

My obsession with fonts

-
It was yesterday when I spent about fifteen minutes of my time creating this blog. I put in about ten minutes of thought into writing a blogpost. And then I spent an eternity deciding the text font. It's such a minor thing, really, deciding the font. Just pick a generic one that looks good and move ahead. But to me, it's like I'm a shopaholic in a clothing store. I have to try out all the font styles, because each one looks better than the earlier one, and I surely don't want to miss the most perfect font. Yes, I even try out all the wingdings.  And yeah, I also know that the dropdowns almost always show you the style of all fonts and there's no need to try them all out, but the styles aren't displayed with the specific set of words I just typed out, and I need to know how these specific letters, in their given order, look. You may say that I have to dot all the 'i's and cross all the 't's.  Then, after going through all the fonts, i

Seeking validation

-
Why do people feel the need to update everyone about their social life? I feel that the answer to this is "validation"; validation from others that your life is indeed, a tiny bit better than other's lives, and to convince your own self that it is, because "being optimistic" might not be a solution, but atleast it makes you feel better about yourself. Compare life to a rollercoaster. There is a point where you reach the very top and then there's nowhere to go but down, so swiftly that you are screaming, your hair goes haywire and your face looks weird.At that point, there is always a camera that captures you. People always remember your failures the best, but they often forget that you'd been at the top of the figurative rollercoaster just moments ago. That is why the human mind feels that it should accentuate it's successes too, because no one wants to be remembered as 'the one who always fails', right? It tries to hide one's failure
