Apps have taken over devices. The biggest invasion happened when the mobile phone made the pager, camera and tablets redundant. My Google Home Assistant and Alexa lie idle because I couldn’t find a gap for them to fill. I no longer need a Kindle because the app enables reading on any device. The smart TV … Continue reading Not-so-smart Living
Life on this planet is complex, or so it seems. We are aware of three planes – aerial, terrestrial and aquatic, but there could be so much more beneath the surface or above the visible blue expanse of the sky. Can we claim to lay down concrete theories with limited knowledge? Space travel will lend … Continue reading Friday Faithfuls – Tree of Life
This prompt is an exciting post for me. During my training programs, I used to take a short break and play a fascinating game. It was a refreshing way to break the monotony and stimulate the mind. Think of a three-digit number (excluding mirror numbers). Let’s say 658. Reverse it – 856. Subtract the lesser … Continue reading Numbers
Currently, I’m reading Mahagatha by Satyarth Nayak, an English translation of a book that offers a unique perspective on the epic story. It presents a mythological version of the awe-inspiring origins of the universe. In the intricately linked stories, I witness a fascinating personification of planets and other elements of the Universe. The Creator (Brahma) … Continue reading Is Intelligent Design a Myth?

It hides an enormous number of layers. Human thought processes are primarily symbolic. One can gauge a person's mindset by 'listening … Continue reading Metaphor

I came across a couple of 2024 predictions by Baba Vanga, a renowned Bulgarian mystic and clairvoyant. After reading your prompt, the one that caught my attention was a famine due to an overpopulated planet bursting at the seams. It is a possible resource crunch after having mindlessly squandered away precious resources. But is it … Continue reading Capricious capers on Baba Vanga’s predictions
I cannot claim to be a 100% participant, but I guess I've responded to at least 80% of your prompts. Your posts are highly informative, well-researched and comprehensive. They are much more than writing prompts. Sometimes, I don't respond or just write a poem because I cannot think of anything to add to what you … Continue reading Friday Faithfuls Review
I played around with this prompt a little. I wrote two paragraphs as Stream of Consciousness writing - whatever came to mind first. The bourgeois has been a much-misunderstood class, trapped between the Marxist perspective of being oppressors who will instigate rebellions and the label of being privileged. The contemporary version, called ‘the middle class,’ … Continue reading Bourgeoise
Think about the following statements. The offence is the best defence. We challenge your truth to conceal our untruths or validate propagated narratives. While taking a ‘loftier-than-thou’ stance in public, we systematically destroy opponents, independent thinkers and autonomous institutions. The idea of a clean country is one without opposition parties and independent media channels. We … Continue reading False memories are made from concealed truth
