What is ‘reality’? At a macro level, Google defines reality as “the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.” But there is more to it. The truth about reality is that it is more dynamic than we think it is.…
Neuroengineering is a recently discovered field which involves the close association of engineered technology and gadgetry with the vast medical field of neurology. This field is still a freshly hatched chick, with research ongoing in countries like Turkey and the United States. This field mainly comprises of novel biomedical engineering…
Reality is a flux, an endless becoming that is beyond words and language – all language is metaphor, useful to us but ultimately detached from reality ~ Friedrich Nietzsche The world has recently celebrated Women’s Day on 8th of March, so it seemed fitting that I write on a topic related…
Change. Considered a paramount factor nowadays, it is and will be something that occurs more often for us than we realise, especially in the present, and in whatever the future beholds. This change is slow, steady, and is ever-constant; as if layers and layers of perspective and reality are being…
The Universe, in 13.8 billion years, has created marvels like star systems and life; it is undoubtedly a living legend. While it is a genius, the Universe also has its own paradigm of doing things and making things happen. It is safe to say that Reality has a terrific memory,…
I’m sure everyone has heard of Stephen Hawking’s Theory that there are alternate universes designed as per every decision made. If you imagine the application of that theory, you realise that each decision of your life makes you who you are and changes your life forever. No matter at what…
Into the Spider-Verse, in my opinion, was probably one of the best cinematic experiences to ever exist. Not only was the animation a remarkable work of art, but the plot was one great adventure. And all this, plus a killer playlist. The basis of Into the Spider-Verse, or for that…
A step towards a cruelty-free world, where everyone has the right to live. Many of us will be familiar with the term ‘Veganism’. But those of you who think it’s no different from vegetarianism, well, you are mistaken. Vegans are vegetarians who genuinely love animals. I believe that humans have…
Today, on Guess the Fandom is…*drumroll* The Good Doctor. This whole issue was about having a conscience and giving back to society, which got me thinking: what show can I relate this to? The Good Doctor. That’s the show. Now, doctors are those people who save lives. I think they…
“Menstruation is a cycle, not a curse. It’s natural, PERIOD!” On 28th September’18, the Supreme Court of India passed a landmark judgement removing the ban on women of menstruating age from entering the Sabarimala. The Supreme Court verdict was considered to be the herald into an era of gender equality…
This summer, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the eastern side of Europe. I went to countries like Poland, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic, which saw some of the worst atrocities of WWII. Poland is home to Oświęcim, or as it is better known, the Auschwitz-Birkenau…
The universal definition of self-acceptance is similar to the following: “[Self-acceptance is] an individual’s acceptance of all of his/her attributes, positive or negative.” (Morgado and colleagues’ 2014) But, how can someone classify how you’re supposed to love yourself? Or in other words, who can determine the way in which our…
Hidden in the quiet, French suburbs of Pondicherry lies a forest that seems to be bursting at the seams with life: Merveille. There is a small black gate for visitors to enter and see a green microcosm unfurl in front of their eyes. Forty years before, this land was barren…
Money. That’s all that this ‘modern’, ‘rich-stay-rich poor-get-poorer’ world believes in. Money is what gets you power. It gives you benefits, privileges, a reputation – so basically whatever you could want. Or does it? The end of this moral-value-ignoring world may not be as distant as is believed. In a…
What is religion? As per my ‘belief’, it was supposed to be the law. It was supposed to be something that identifies a nation. But that’s in the past. Now, each country has in place its own set of laws, which may have built upon the basic tenets of religious…
Normal. What is normal? Ordinary, average, general, appropriate- appropriate- when we talk about living a ‘normal’ life, we are actually thinking about the ‘appropriate’ life. The desirable life. The proper life. Oh you know, the usual- growing up, making friends, going to school, college, getting a job and working your…
We live in a land of cultures and values. We have heard this statement almost the whole of our lives. How far do you think this is true, or how far do you think people believe this? Or is it even true? We see many people who complain about the…
As it is said, “A moment of gratitude makes a difference in our attitude”, it’s important that we thank God for whatever little or more we have. No matter how tough you think your life is, there is always someone who must be facing challenges that are even tougher than…
Hey there! So, I’m going to be going totally off branding; I’m not going be talking about a fandom that I’m a part of, or obsessed with (Yeah, surprising, I know), instead, I’ll be talking about what the theme of this issue means, along with a bunch of other stuff.…
Human beings are social animals, that is one thing that has been clear since the very beginning. We seemed to have a sense of organisation and standards even when we lived in caves, when we hunted as a group, with sets of rules and regulations based on mutual understanding. We’ve…
