I grew up in a Hindu family with two child-free couples as neighbours – one Muslim and one Christian. I was equally pampered by both. My mother ensured that I had new clothes to wear on Eid and Christmas, and I participated in the celebrations with elan. It was more about partying, but I guess … Continue reading Religion
It's time for the world to stop and think, when opinions become news; Chinese whispers influence judgment and vested interests maliciously boot out objectivism. Weekend Writing Prompt #333
I found some interesting research related to entropy and formation of the universe. We know that entropy either increases or remains constant. It never decreases. So in theory or some of us would vouch that it happens in practice, the disorder in the world goes on increasing. The theory of ‘bouncing universes’ suggests that there … Continue reading Entropy
Do you remember the times we connected through songs, because we did not have the courage to speak our heart out? Well, the present generation is far more vocal but uses the same methodologies. A girl came up with an idea for a startup or app – people listening to the same song at the … Continue reading Monologue

In India, we ridicule ourselves of being called a ‘developing country’. For how long? Aren’t we ever going to reach there? But the fact remains that we are 1.3 billion strong, with 70% of the population being in the 15-64 age group. It means the spending power is there, and is likely to increase. Companies … Continue reading Modern Economies
My body is too thick and stiff to squeeze into unknown dimensions, but mind is over eager to do so. Wait a minute, why assume that I need to ‘squeeze into’ something? The not-yet-known dimensions may just offer more wiggle room to test new ideas, or a vast, open space to experiment. We can give … Continue reading Dimensional thoughts
Sets emphasize the need for a limited space for relevance and effectiveness. Theories and formulae do not work beyond that. One can see the principle being followed in politics, civic administration and corporates. Lines of authority and command areas are clearly defined. Space is a more flexible term leading to infinity. It indicates the potential … Continue reading Sets, spaces and infinity
