MaGaroo Writes

I had tried to stop smoking a lot of times, but I failed every single time. Now, I’m obviously seeing its effects on my life and health. It’s bothering me in various ways: I see these effects and still can’t stop smoking. It’s ridiculous. Ok I will try again. After running out of tobacco, I…

Today, I received an email from US embassy. It starts with this paragraph: We are pleased to inform you the administrative processing required for your case was completed on xth Aug and we are ready to proceed with your visa application.

Back then when I was studying for the entrance exam of Master’s degree (is it called like this? I don’t care), I developed a habit of self-destruction to increase my performance. If I scored 95% in a sample exam, I started to balme myself for that lost 5%. Its reason should be obvious. By doing…
