RESPECT THE BEING

Image
As the topic suggests, we are going to talk about living beings, especially animals. What did you see when you went out for a morning walk today? Trees, people, bushes, dogs, cycles, etc. But hey, you didn't go out for a walk?! You were sleeping until noon (like me). Well, even if you didn't get up early, you must've seen these things at other times. So let's start our discussion with animals. TALK ABOUT ANIMALS Lea is in the final year of her college; she has a pet dog named  Rio . They go for walks 3 times a day. Lea has everything for Rio; Frisbee, chewing toys, stroller, shoes, etc. Lea takes care of him as his little brother. She says he's her best friend & she loves him the most. Have you been to the circus? Do you see parrots riding a bicycle, elephants doing tricks & how other animals follow the ringmaster's instructions? Treat to eyes, right? All the animals are fed well, taken care of.  Think of horses living in stables;...

LABELS

Image
Labels! such a small thing with great impacts. e.g, Sticking a little tag on your food containers can prevents you from cooking blunders. Same with little label on files at work can save you from work gaffes. A label in your drug bottle can help you look at possible side-effects, ideal time to take medication, expiry date of the drug & so on. POWER & NECESSITY OF LABELS- Let's name a few advantages;  It helps us organizing things. Give us quick description. Help us sort out mess. It provides identification. Gives comparision between two products. Moving on to an academic perspective; Labels help us categorise & characterize.  Biological classification of species: plants, animals, algae, fungus, humans, birds, what are these? Labels. Whole calculus is made of labels. Addition, substraction, multiplication, division, differentiation, integration!   Can you do accounts without labels? Credit, debit, cash, depreciation, assets, liabili...

EMPATHY

Let's start with some silly stories; 1.  Mrs.Peterson & Sister Martha are neighbours. They often see each other walking down streets, at stores, sometimes at balcony sipping their cup of tea. Mrs.Peterson have a drinking problem & often have breakdown episodes beside her ongoing strict plan for abstinence. Sister Martha frown upon her situation & says she can help her recover through the path of God. 2.  Muller is a nice guy, with two good friends, with whom he shares almost everything. Family problems, peer problems. They'd give each other reassurance that their problems aren't big & they'll outgrow them sooner or later. Everything was fine until one day, Muller is diagnosed with GAD(Generalized Anxiety Disorder). Mullers's therapist defined his condition severe & said the symptoms were rooted in him gradually.  Now imagine living in a world where these strange stories are normal. Only you find them strange. How'd you feel about ...

STARLIGHT & US

Image
ALL ABOUT STARS - How do you feel when you look up at the sky every night? I personally like staring at the night sky very soothing—tiny little stars twinkling in the vapid sky. Well, you can't exactly call sky vapid cause, unlike birds, airplanes still flies at night.  There are so many intriguing things about stars. I've talked about some of them here. Since stars are so far away from us, they've to travel many lightyears to finally reach our eye; in that process, sometimes the star dies, but because its light is traveling & coming into our vision, we see the star at the same place brightening as nothing happened. So, when sometimes we look up at the night sky, we actually see something that doesn't exist anymore. Some people describe this as when we look into stars, we look at the past.  One more exciting thing about the star is they twinkle. And how does that happens? Stars actually emit light constantly, but the path of that light has several dense ...

ART

Hello Readers! What a joke it'd be if only I read my blogs XD. Humor, the art of making & understanding jokes, make other people laugh.(Humor is such a funny word, sounds like tumor to me) Grammar; the art of putting right words at right places. Today we are gonna talk about ART. I believe art is about expression.  Space is filled with art, we are filled with art, in fact, everything is really made of art or nothing. And my favourite line from one of my poetries is " Art is horcrux" I hope y'll remember horcruxes from  Harry Potter.  Voldemort  made seven horcruxes to lock a part of his soul for resurrection. So, I think Art could be an horcux to artists. Cause it let us breathe in it, it gives you liberty to completely loose yourself in it. And not to mention, every time you make an artwork, you put a part of yourself in it. ART & SOUL - Let's talk about Pablo Picasso. He would paint for hours continuosly, standing in front of canvas, sometime...

LIFE

Image
Life -  perhaps the most beautiful outcome of all coincidence in the Universe albeit spent in most uncertainty. The uncertainty of how to live it the most? How to make it meaningful? How to add value to it? The uncertainity of when it'll end? Yes, sometimes you live long enough to make your skin go all wrinkly, your heart working on pacemaker or worse, in deep sound sleep with machines beeping next to you but not enough a moment to realise what you've lived & why you've lived it this way.  No, I ain't gonna to tell you how to live your life, how to be in a moment, or how to be thankful for it. Here we are going to talk about the basic nature of it.  What do you think sustains life?  Humans, Animals, Flowers, Trees, a guy in coma? (yes)  Initially it was considered that the criteria for being living includes - growth in size, locomotion, metabolism etc. But this way a snowball would be considered living as it can grow in size & is mobile. Unti...

CRAZY, ABNORMAL & NORMAL

Image
tlhIHvaD tlhej'a' je? Don't worry it's not a typo. I just asked y'll how are you in Klingon. WHAT IS CRAZY?  A robot dancing amidst puppet show? A christian bride wearing crimson-red lehanga to her wedding? or a spanish article in english newspaper? (Now I must've sound crazy for opening this article with some video game language)  Some people would find some fashion trends crazy. Like Indian brides wearing sport shoes to their wedding, as if they have to run away from pavilion as soon as they get any chance. Or some would find Einstein crazy for making two separate holes in his door for his two cats to pass separately uninterrupted by other. Sounds funny right? But  crazy. So what really is crazy? or perhaps I should say who's crazy? It depends on us right? Who & what we call crazy. There's fair possibility that what we find unusual & crazy could be normal to other person. It's subjective. But a possible way to define crazy would...
