titles for books im considering:
food for the depressed ( i want to write a book on holistic food, spirituality(only hindu /indian), and modern life, and depression, and poverty amongst the youth and what happens)
I find that even the brightest minds are not really doing anything to help poverty, i mean besides cashing a check [this is not accurate obviously, as I am generalizing here]. Thats the easiest thing even if its billions. Actually spending day to day and helping others. I plan to go to India after my culinary school prior my masters, and travel- not to the ashram, but real places- where I can gather ancient information on plants, herbs, and medicines that have died out. I will have to brush up my language skills: Malayalam, French, Japanese. i need to master all three preferably. When I read all these blogs, all these kids( mainly in Boston - the hub of intellectuals) coming together brainstorming, it makes me sad that I am stuck in Los Angeles. This city, with its dry heat, and horrible education standards at one of the most priciest schools on the American peninsula. I find that most kids, are dry, quiet here, or keep to themselves , initially that is. Maybe I've just been here, and the lack of food today is making me irritable. But I find that this city and its academics are too cut and dry, nothing new, just the same boring standards- thats what math feels like- like we are doing the same damn thing since 400 years. Like, has not anything been applied to reality? Is it all meaningless , except to the math minded. I sincerely, have lost the retrospect for what i was studying. I am not sure where I want to go or where. But certainly I will write this book, because I myself suffered from severe depression. Not the external crying, slitting, cutting. No the deep kind, that does not reveal itself to anyone. Just keeps quiet. Thats a deeper type of sadness, one that does not express itself implicitly. Such people are harder to tell from face . I am one of those. And so, I 'd like to write something to help those like me, who dont have the most fortunate backgrounds to be smiling, but should be, because there are exciting things beyond the very realm that minds get stuck in. A good example is the violence around the neighborhood- I wonder why it does not change. Because USC has no real initiative to substantiate its claims that its helping. It should have an active pact with schools for their students to come here. otherwise why does academics claim all these nonsense ideals?
