Being silent is a good thing

Being silent is a good thing. It makes you invisible.Ignoring an issue and brushing it under the carpet is a good thing.It makes you live comfortably inside the bubble.But you can also be silent and screaming at the same time! You know how?Spread your “silent scream” quietly across the internet. And let that scream multiply, and break the silence. If you ever have thought about this issue, and…

I don’t just teach theory—I have first brought real, lived experience to the table. Though talking about that makes me cringe, but I had to reach out to so many of you who don't know where to begin.

6 best careers to combat AI, for you

So I actually asked ChatGPT what careers the next generation should take up, and here's what it answered:

I am an old-school journalist/writer on her way out to retirement and government benefits. But I worry about you, the next generation. While you are whiling away your time doing TikTok and YouTube shorts, which is fine, but require hard work, and definitely you’ll not have a career with that, you’ll be dancing and creating dramatic scripts all your life. So I actually asked ChatGPT, and it kind…

They are grieving.From the Muslim carpenter who came to fix my…

The day I met Uttam Kumar

Yes, I ACTUALLY met the guy! In all of my 55 plus years I never talked about this, because number one: this was very, very personal experience for me

Yes, I ACTUALLY met the guy! Only that my height then was barely reaching his waist. I was just all of 8 years old. In all of my 55 plus years I never talked about this, because number one: this was very, very personal experience for me which I never wanted to share. Until now. And number two: I am sharing this today because the memory has been growing big, huge, GIANT inside me so much that…

What did Christopher Nolan mean by "they" in Interstellar?

In other words, when our parents and astrologers told us that our destiny is pre-determined, they weren’t fibbing. This means that we have lived and lived over and over again to make the decisions that has already been made by our future selves.

Both the science-fiction films, Christpher Nolam’s, Interstellar (2014) and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) had quite a few subtle references to God. One may choose to believe that, or not. Several times in Interstellar the characters have referred to someone called “they”. Even after watching the film several times myself, I was not sure what Nolan meant by the term “they”. In…
