A few days back I was talking with one of my college friends over the phone. We were asking about each other’s life and how everything is going. He said ‘Everything is good but I am feeling lonely here most of the times’. At first, I didn’t take it seriously. In fact, I told him ‘you are surrounded by so many people, your family, your new friends, and many others, how can you feel lonely. On the contrary, I should feel lonely because I…
How do you feel when you look into the sky at night? Fascinating! isn’t it? Especially when I was a child, I used to wonder a lot about those bright stars visible in the sky. It spiked curiosity in my mind. How far are they? Does anyone live there? Can we go there? These are some common questions arise in our mind in our childhood. Unfortunately, as we grow up that curiosity dies slowly in most of us. We don’t wonder about the stars,…
Remember movies like ‘The Matrix’, or ‘Total Recall’. where humans were able to interact with computers without using a keyboard and mouse but merely utilizing their brains. All they need was some eletrodes to be inserted in the skull which can recieve the signals from your brain (specifically from neurons). It looked something like this. However, from movies when we come to real life, the question you probably pondering about is- is it really possible in real life? This collaboration between a device (machine)…
Centuries ago Aristotle said- “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all“ This is so true, especially in this generation. Most of us rate an educated person by the kind of IQ he/she has, by his/her cognitive skills, by the kind of degrees that person posses. Centuries before wise people like Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca told us about what we call education and whom we can call an educated person. Unfortunately, we as a generation have forgotten all…
You must have seen those posts on social media which claim to teach you how to become a millionaire. There are hundreds of books which have titles such as ‘The quick ladder to become a Millionaire’, ‘The Millionaire Fastlane’, ‘How to become wealthy’, etc. Of course, those books or posts on social media excites us, kicks our dopamine and we strive to become that moneyed person. Nothing wrong with that. We all should strive to earn more money to make a comfortable living. If…
If you were born on ’90s or early 2000’s I am sure you are familiar with the era of Nokia. That was the time when the mobile phone and Nokia were almost synonyms. Nokia was like a symbol of excellence for mobile phones. In fact, we used to tell people whenever their phone slipped or fall out from their hand ‘c’ mon, if it’s a Nokia phone then nothing will happen’. The hardware of Nokia was that good. Look at the above phones. Aren’t…
From last one year, if there is one question I have been asked most of the time, it’s this How do you find time to do all these? If you love to explore things, I am sure you have also heard such questions. Although, I don’t think at all that I am potentially doing many things. At the moment, I am a doctoral student, so a major chunk of my time I spend in a research laboratory. Beside that yeah I do have multiple…
You must have heard a famous quote by Nikola Tesla. It’s one of my favorites. “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration” It’s really a deep and very meaningful quote. Probably that’s why I have seen this quite a few times but overlooked it. I didn’t pay enough attention because it’s not something very easy to understand. But if you can then something magical may happen. Probably you will agree with me if…
A few weeks back I was reading a sci-fi novel by Stephen King named 11/22/63. There was a character named Jake Epping who one day discovered a portal which can take him to the past or future, basically, he can travel in time then. Then he decided to go back in time in 1958, and after some experiments, he realized that he can alter the history of the humankind (as he can change the events). So he decided to prevent the assassination of President…
What do you like most? Beaches or mountains. I am a beach lover. Looking at the open ocean feels me with great exhilaration. In fact, it’s always one of my fantasies to be somewhere in an ocean from where I wouldn’t be able to see anything except water. I thought it would be cool until I heard the story of José Salvador Alvarenga, a mexican fisherman. His scary as well as inspiring story makes me think about human capabilities in a newer way. So…
