What are some crazy and scary stories?
My uncle was in the police in rural West Bengal in India. Came across a lot of stories that can't be fact checked; as awesome a story teller he was, we never felt the need to.This story is about a man who worked in some town far from his rural residence and was returning home by a late night train. In the train, a Sadhu tried to talk to him but he was tired and, coupled with the fact that his destination was fast approaching, ignored him. But the ascetic was not the one to let go. In rage, or at least that's what it looked like, he claimed, "You will die in 3 days". The man was taken aback but didn't believe him or fall on his feet as he probably had expected. This enraged him further and he said, "I know you don't trust me but you have a new born at home. Go and check, he will have 2 front teeth in his upper jaw". Please note as young his baby was, teeth weren't expected at all. In his confidence of knowing his baby much more than the Sadhu, he ignored him further, now fully assured that he is up to cheap tricks.Still when he got back home, out of curiosity, checked the inside of his baby's mouth. Lo and behold, there were a couple of cute little teeth in his upper jaw. That shook him like nothing else. Over the next couple of days, he searched crazily for the Sadhu. But then he was not to be found. Dejected and a bit scared, he chose to stay at home on the 3rd day, when the man had predicted his death. Brushing his teeth in the lawn of his house, he was reflecting about the incidents over the past few days when a coconut fell from a tree on top of his head and killed him.
My bedroom will have no windows, how do I cope with that?
Why will you bedroom have no windows? Here in Canada a space without a window (among many other requirements) would not be legally defined as a bedroom. Are you renting a den-type space because it’s cheaper than a bedroom? Is it a temporary thing? Are you moving to an older part of town or perhaps a city where no building regulations apply?Without knowing more about your circumstances, here are some ideas:Use a projector to create the illusion of a sunny window.If you cannot find/cannot afford a projector, you can also hang a painting of a beautiful landscape that you enjoy, and frame it to look like a window to the outdoors.Use fairy lights and wispy drapes to create a cosy fort.The puppy is optional ;)You can use shutter blinds, curtain rods, and curtains to create the illusion of a window.These are all psychological hacks to make your room feel more healthy and pleasant to live in. At the same time, make sure your room will actually be healthy and pleasant to live in. Without a window to ventilate, make sure you open your door periodically, and/or use a fan to circulate stale air.Hope this gives you something to work from. Good luck!
