Why should we watch horror movies? 
I have heard people say they wouldn't watch a horror movie at such and such time or when they are all by themselves. Although I know they are being chicken-hearted (including myself), I pretend to understand the logic.

In reality, movies of the likes which make you feel lifeless and on tenterhooks, bring an extremely out of this world experience. 
Like chilli flakes, paprika, harissa, pepper and hot sauce stir the taste buds, horror movies put adrenaline out in open right on the surface of our skin.

For the sake of making more sense, enumerated are five personal techniques I have devised over the years to reap maximum content and benefits out of supernatural activities glaring at me.

Good luck reading...


Me-time:

Never watch a horror movie with family or a group of friends.

The thing is, your dear ones spoil the affect and effect of horror. The damage is so profound that you might end up recalling their ghoulish faces later at the dead of night instead of the real ghost! 


Choose wisely:

We are homo-sapiens, whereby, sapiens in Latin means wise. Therefore, choose the best horror movie of time by researching the rating online. Do not succumb to the trap of horrendous movie plots because it turns out some movies are actually hilarious and not at all spooky.
It can spoil your mood to a large extent.


Boost your memory:

After a few days have peacefully passed by, go ahead and randomly try your best to remember the best scene that scared the life out of you. Trust me, the adrenaline rush returns with better imagination and hallucination. It is worth a shot!

Shuffle:

To better scare (a.k.a love) yourself in future, always shuffle a horror movie with another genre of your choice like comedy or romantic movie. This trick will keep you alive for the next spooky round.

Be Contagious:

Do not forget to tell your fellas about the movie you just watched. It is advisable to lure them to watch the same movie in their alone time and later know their experience. This is the best coping mechanism you can avail.

CONCLUSION:

It goes without saying, horror movies prepare us for the evils life throws at us. Slowly and gradually, you will learn how to not get startled or terrified at the mere sight of a problem you have to eventually deal with anyway.

My recommendation is you should start this self-paced learning as soon as possible, lest you get distracted again.

PC:  riedelmeier-Pixabay Tickle The Sleeping Brain: Ever wondered why there is this nagging and a never-ending fight between the two genders - male and female trying to perhaps, prove which one is stronger than the other ? The real tug of war is basically based on rights and duties. Who would know what and how things took place in history that has its ripples alive till date such that women seem to have to fight for basic rights for their cause and some misunderstood assumptions are born which tell men that somehow, their rights are being snatched away in the process of making way for women. The basic idea of right to live in peace professed in almost all global social movements is lost in the milieu of ignorance and flawed disposition of pride and arrogance.

A SIMPLE CRANBERRY CAKE...

Without knowledge, I once grabbed cranberries for a leisure munching, imagining them to taste sweet by their look.  Later I was scampering to look for a recipe to make something out of it and not let it go waste.  Cranberries in reality taste too sour. However, they taste amazing when  dried or cooked.  Cake seemed to be a great idea as I had eaten it before somewhere.  This is going to be a very simple recipe of a homemade cake with just an addition of cranberries. Let us go step by step:  Even though originally the secret ingredient to cooking or baking is a smile that pirouettes on your face, specific ingredients are listed below. 1. Dry Ingredients: Gather two small to medium sized cups of all-purpose flour. One cup of fine sugar. You can replace sugar with honey/ maple syrup/ agave. If you replace sugar, add it later with wet ingredients (Step 2) One spoon salt One spoon baking powder Give it a mix by simple whipping or with a hand ble...

SAVE THOSE LOCKS...

    PC:   Image by Gabriela Kania from Pixabay  What is more worrisome to you, those mistakenly dropped strands in your food or those tangled in your comb? Well, both are equally frightening, including those which you see going down the drain in front of your eyes as you watch helplessly like a mute spectator. Each one of us is fully aware of the horror of hair loss. The affect such a loss has on our psyche to that terror we feel at the dead of night thinking of solutions to stop the recession, err...the hair loss, has an immense impact on us. And, we got nothing but to pat our 'light-head' to sleep. Gruesome sketch, right? But it is what it is! When we start losing hair and we no longer wake up to dreams of face and hands full of extra voluminous hair out of nowhere as we once used to, the terror depicted above stands valid.  What A Malady:  Hair is a natural resource. We are born with it. Those sitting on scalp are believed to be the most sought after and...
