Three : Prologues

 One thing I am certain is that whatever I write down here from now on would be deeply inspired by Nassim Nicholas Taleb's writing style. Yes, he is the author of "AntiFragile" and definitely that catchy title is the reason why I am hooked onto one other creation of him.  Prologue - I This very conversation happened so long ago but I still remember it due to a very particular reason. This one evening whilst we were having tea and snacks at home after school hours, my younger brother striked up a conversation about something which he heard from his friends. As teenagers it was a spicy gossip about a young girl in our locality and the way it was cooked up to be qualified as a spicy gossip was indeed marvelous. After hearing his version, we were about to take part in this during which mom simply interrupted just like that. And her exact words were, 'Dont you ever think that I do not know how to put this dagger to good use' raising a knife which she was using to cut v...

Social Media Trends and Trending

  Here is a conversation from one fine evening when we both were walking to the nearby market. 'Mamma, do you know what my plan is ?' I asked, "What?" "First, I will start one youtube channel, in which I will be assembling minecraft and then playing and explaining how to play with it. I will also include other games. But you would have to buy me game sets often. We will not do any simple games. Ninju ettan(brother) or mamu ettan (brother) will shoot my videos. Whenever you get time you can also help me"  "Who will edit and do other things for you? " I interrupted.  "You would have to do that, but we will make short videos and I will be careful. And then, you would have to manage uploads and also the channel. Once this channel becomes successful, I will start more channels but before that you would have to buy me a big computer. "  I inquired again, "Why? " " You see, once I start doing this, sooner I would have to also revi...

Regression In Progress or NOT

  Disclaimer : I know very well about Men's egos yet I am taking this risk because I have a point. So if you would like to read it, please proceed because this  is not written to hurt anyone for sure. Additionally Adam, Eve and Lilith are the most popular and Biblical reference names of first man and his two wives which would be discussed towards the end of this article. To all religious people out there, if you do not have a free mind to think about the reality which I would be describing there, you may omit that part. I mean at the end of the day everyone needs an enlightenment and principles to live with and any religion is just a tool to set that in every persons mind is my belief system so I am not against any religion however I do not prefer to follow anything blindly. 👍 This article should have been written 2 weeks back but if we haven't forgotten about #PriyankaReddy incident already, that incident triggered me to write this article. Then when I saw ju...

Balance

Image
  I am not going to make a big article about this topic. So, this is going to be a brief one. What is balance to you ? What is the relevance of that term in your life ?   For me balance is the equilibrium or the synchronicity which exists in this Universe on a broader level and on a personal level it is my focus and control I have over my mind which includes everything that a mind can control. For example, your thoughts, your emotions, your discipline, your actions, your words,etc. Everyone seeks a balance in their life, but what kind of balance are they seeking depends mostly on their age as well as their priorities. So, to begin with, lets consider this Universe. Living and non living co-exist in this Universe and we are the living ones. Surprisingly, Universe has brought balance to itself even in the non living realm.  If you have heard of the five elements concept, you might know what I am talking about. Fire, Water, Air and Earth and the highe...

 I would like to begin this note by thanking all of my family, friends and my colleagues who I would like to address as my extended family. 🙏 I am indebted for life to be surrounded by you all and the constant support and care I receive from all of you have been my everything 🙏 Trauma : A psychological and emotional response to an event or a series of events that are distressing or harmful.

Generation Gap and Culture Difference Issues on Social Media

 Pretext:  During one of our everyday video calls between me any son, my 7 year older boy suddenly in-quested this one thing.." Mamma do you know what is bubble". I asked him what is "bubble" ? He replied to me that his friend's (Ist Std B) lover (Ist Std C) spoke to him about how girls have bubbles and boys don't have bubbles. On further questioning he told me that it is an internet slang. I did a bit of research on the same but I could not find this slang at all. So yeah I must admit whatever he meant by this bubbles thingy which distinguishes women from men is new to me.. I know how everyone says internet is not a safer place for kids and why they should stay away from it. Yes, it is true.. so lets go back to the 80s or 90s when internet was hardly or not at all in use.. Impossible huh ?  Yes, that is also true.. 😁 Generation Gap and Culture Difference Issues on Social Media.. Awareness.. The generation gap and cultural differences can manifest on social...

Lets keep it clean from now on.. Social Media "Cleanliness" Campaign

  Recently I went on a trek to a national park in the far north. It felt so good and spirited me back up because with each pace I took in nature it felt like I was being replenished with fresh energy.. But what was not so refreshing is the sight we got to see on the way. Throughout the trail, both sides of the trail had scattered thrown out chocolate and candy wrappers, emptied chips packets, polythene covers and much more. This is the mountains I am talking about, much lesser taken roads.. Why would human interaction or activity thoughtfully decide to dump non-biodegradable waste on fertile land ?  This came up more than once in our interactions on the way. However one thing me and my friends decided to do was to put back the wrappers and emptied chips packets and even orange peels back to our backpacks so that we can dump it in a proper waste bin on the way. God knows whether it would be emptied somewhere in the forest or would go to recycling at all.  Returning back to...
