The week is an artificial construct
created by humans. Yeah, yet another post bashing humankind. “But all units of time – day, hour, year – are man-made, and hence non-natural”, you might argue. Yes, that is correct; however these units represent some natural phenomena – Earth revolving around the Sun in 365.25 ‘days’, rotating on its axis in approximately 24 ‘hours’. […]

We complain of the heat and yet sit in rooms cooled by air-conditioning that lead to rise in the very heat that we complain of. We eat junk food spending hard-earned money to take in harmful calories that we then pay money in the gym to burn. We work long hard hours to […]

The dying breed of Original Thought
If one has been following my blog, one would have seen how I’m strongly opinionated, and my views run at a tangent to conventionally-held ideas about the right and the wrong, the acceptable and the unacceptable.

The fake artificial lives we live
Pink elephants all around us. In the room. On the streets. At the workplaces. Especially at the workplaces. And at social situations. More so in social situations.

When I switched from Hope to No-Hope
Counter-intuitive to widely held, and accepted, beliefs, no-hope can actually be a liberating feeling. Let me explain. But first, a little bit on the widely held, and accepted, belief itself. Whenever people are going through a phase of depression and dejection, one of the most frequent advises friends and well-wishers have for them is: Don’t […]
