Thinking, reading, writing, wondering...!
I love writing on psychology, intelligence, society, History, spirituality, and world in general. Initially I was an active blogger hidden under various pseudonyms writing under various categories.

James Bond also is just fictional, so is Jack Sparrow or Sherlock Holmes or Lara Croft or Katniss Everdeen. If we can admire them and learn so much from them, then...
Arthur Conan Doyle murdered Sherlock, but he refused to die. He was revived again and now 100+ years later he still stubbornly declines to leave our hearts. Why is Sherlock so unforgettable and why is he so unique? Because he actually accidentally fulfils all the required criteria for a mad genius, and is in fact a classic mad genius. Here is how:...
Life of a king, queen and royals has always appealed to ordinary people. Some think it is a life of dreams! Rolling around in riches and splendour, having thousand servants to wait upon, countless outfits and a crown to wear and everyone bowing their heads before them is the stuff of fairy tales. The reality is completely different....
Everyone worries about money. What about the rich? Turns out they also worry about money albeit with a different twist.
