1 2 3 4…. Oh what the heck? This is never going to work. Counting sheep is said to be a good remedy for sleeplessness. But what if you are allergic to any sort of activity,  especially the ones which involve any sort of monotony?  The owl seemed to have got a permanent bout of […]

The rise of the fifth estate has been rapid and spectacular. The internet as a medium of communication has revolutionized interactions. But the fact remains that the social media corporations are making millions out of this addiction,  giving people a false sense of satisfaction at their posts, making them believe that they are making a […]

Here I am sweating it out in my apartment because apparently the designers thought that air conditioning is an indestructible creation and did not deem it fit to fit a measly ceiling fan in my room. What is going through my mind is the choicest of self composed creations of words that many of my […]

One of the most perplexing stigmas in education is the one against copying. It is perplexing for me because copying is one of the fundamental impetus towards innovation (please note the difference between discover, invent and innovate) in the sense that you can never improve upon something that isn’t there.

Clearly there […]

Traditionally I have been a great fan of books. Because no kindle/nook/nexus can beat the feel of paper in your fingers. Perhaps it is my inherent trait of being a bookworm. Storybooks are fun, novels are awesome but I want to talk about my lost fascination for textbooks. During my bachelor’s, it was the one […]

The toughest part about following soccer (yes, its the American influence) here is the time difference-keeping late nights and waking early next morning for office is not a daunting task compared to waking up early(and yes, 11 A.M is early) to catch the weekend action. However when its passion for the game versus the inherent […]

Citizen-The first link on a google search gives you a link to a website of watches. Just goes to show how materialistic and selfish we have become as a civilization, where individual comfort and well being comes before societal welfare. Contrast it to our wild ancestors where group work was the key to survival. But […]

Its my first attempt, and its because I want something to distract myself. So basically the story so far is I quit a very easy going, low paying job to try to do something I believed in 1 year ago, and now that I am abroad for Grad School, I have no idea why I […]
