A guy fell madly in love with a girl.
'I am ready to do anything for you. Just be mine.'

Depending on our independence of thoughts and actions, we may be either like a flock of huddling sheep or the dog that guards them.
Which one are you?

Surprise! Surprise! We modern humans are still shockingly similar to our ancestors.

Think about it. If some learn without learning, some don't in spite of it, then how much can we trust people with university degrees and those without?

Why don't we (or can't we) learn from our mistakes?

Who doesn't want to be the greatest? Making it to the top is the life dream for nearly all of us. What we often do not consider is that being the greatest is not only the best thing in life, it can also be nearly the worst and many people aren't prepared for this hidden surprise at all. When they...

But that's just my thinking. Thank you for reading.

Life is like a mirror. You see in it what you put in front of it.

The human species has tonnes of enemies! Don't believe me? How about this: More than 99% of all the species that have ever lived on Earth is now extinct. Considering there are roughly 5 billion species on earth, it is quite a lot. Human species is also one of these 5 billion. What are the odds that we will live...

Have you ever been head over heels in love with someone? What did you do? You did everything in your power (skipping studies, work, responsibilities, meetings, deadlines, Netflix everything) to be with him or her, right?

Laughter is a complete package of wonderful health and beauty benefits. One could literally just laugh one's way to health, happiness and beauty!

It can be miracle for some, not worth a thought for others, but whatever it is, it is still a great wonder.

Start getting up on your guard if some or all of these things have been happening to you. They only mean one thing: somebody is plotting against you.

That a virus would bring the whole 21 century modern world to a humiliating grinding halt.That a virus infection could end up replaying horrors of the black plague of the Middle Ages. Admit, we never really gave that plague chapter in History any real thought, did we?That the same place that gave History the three sweeping devastating plagues would...

Independence is a delicious word. Who would not want to have it? But how independent are we really?

We are birds. We are meant to fly!

A bulldozer might help you reverse engineer your thinking in these simple steps, turning you into a victor from a victim.

We think we are the masters of the universe, bursting with superior intelligence, unshakeably sovereign over 8.7 million species on our planet that should vouch we are masters. However, we fit only in a Goldilock environment with such dangerously limited choices that it nearly feels like we're prisoners! Look at this:

It is fun being a human!

Human beauty is evil. It pervades every sphere of human life ruining honest people, innocent children/ teens, idyllic families, siblings and friends, turning them into devils. The joys it brings far outweigh the corruptions and sorrows it brings. I am not being gender specific here, but what the heck if I am?

Imagine you have a rubber band in your hand. You start pulling it harder and harder until it stretches to snapping point. Depending on the strength of the band, it may or may not snap but the extreme tension cannot be denied. That is our brain under stress. Turns out, we're under constant stress of some kind or the...

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....

You take you dog for a walk and throw the stick a bit too high, expecting him to catch it. He does. Next time you throw it even higher, challenging his capacity. He catches every time pushing his strength and ability. Would you say you are stressing your dog? No. Is the dog stressing himself? No.

Last year, India suffered a nightmarish episode of Cornoa Crisis. Too many people got infected too suddenly, and the already weakened infrastructure crumbled further under pressures of sudden high figures of the sick. Thousands died because they couldn't get oxygen. This incident is now going down in History as 'The Oxygen Crisis'.

Well, there are more than four. These questions have plagued every single human that has ever lived on earth. These questions are't exactly unanswered but existing varied answers have failed to satisfy us which is why we're still in the quest since time immemorial. The tragedy is nothing helps.

The universe delights in large numbers even when it does not seem to be necessary. Check these out:

The more we learn, the more we learn that the more we need to learn. (Interesting word play and also true)The more we think we are wise, the more the possibility that we might be a fool.The more we think we're a fool, the more the possibility that we might actually be wise. (Dunning Krüger effect)If we're rich and humble...

Allow me to share a new perspective with you just for the sake of some fun and critical creative thinking.

We all more or less pretty well know what being a doctor, a policeman or a teacher is like. But life of a writer? A writer's life is so romantic, so dreamy and so intoxicating that if given the choice- many would want to be one right away.
