I like this!She walked into her room after another day of nothing. It was torturous, going through the same old, boring routine again and again. She saw no point in it all- the world, life. It wasn’t sadness. All she knew, was that it definitely wasn’t happiness. And all she wished for,…
What this world lacks desperately is creativity. With an abundance of mainstream ideas and competition, there is a rush to find new inspiration. People travel to different cities, countries, simply to gain a sliver of inspiration, but have you ever heard about travelling to space for it? It may sound very…
Cultures call for seizing the day, yet with all our unique movement caged in an aviary, it may be difficult to still overcome the interludes of perpetual possibilities. Such is the call of the mild, that the contempt descends from seventh heaven till six feet under, from the embryonic starting…

Hellen Keller once said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”. Life is a rollercoaster of emotions, be it undying love, deep hatred or overwhelming panic. It’s all about how well we handle these to…
How fast and thorough we are to cut off everything in our lives when minor inconveniences occur. Now, this may not be the same with everybody but coherently all of us have this issue. Whether it’s as simple as giving up carbs due to too large an inferiority complex or…

Does it ever seem that everyone around you is having an easier time adjusting to life than you are? Do you ever feel that you have much more adversity in your life than others do? Do you ever begin to feel sorry for yourself and wonder why everything wrong happens…
How often is it possible for all of us to close our eyes and not think about work, family, our loved one or any other matter? It all rests in our imagination, where we can actually close our eyes and feel the breeze touching our rosy faces just like they…
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.

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…
