It appears that as we course through the cosmos hitching a ride on this rock called Earth, our existential pursuits and for that matter manifestations can be categorised into two: pleasures and responsibilities. Hedonism meets Obligations. And a deliberate attempt to understand the dynamics of the two is needed for an efficient navigation of life on this rock. …

The idea that somewhere in the cosmos there exist a “safe haven” where the cosmic founder and president houses earthlings he has consciously detached from their loved ones is actually quite ludicrous when given further thought. …
Maslow’s Theory of Needs comes in very handy every time we have to visualize the hierarchical order of human needs. As humans, it is good to know and recognize emotions. Neurotransmitters – the body’s special chemicals that influence our moods or emotions. Understanding them gives further insights into emotions. Key Insights. 8 to 15%* of the time, we are not in charge of our moods/actions. We can thank our Autonomic Nervous System for that. For example, …
The power of cognitive associations correlates with high cognitive manifestations eg. proficiency in IQ-based tests. In contrast, power of cognitive storage only increases the propensity of subjects for data warehousing. Significance: the concept of the distinction aids in several neurological explorations. …
Forceful suppression of revolts is futile. In almost all known cases, it instead, incites the revolt. Rather, subtly and strategically placed ideas are sown to overpower the first idea that started the revolt. Wars fought on the streets are started in the mind. …
The importance of subtextual cultural themes in inter-cultural exchanges cannot be overstated. As much as globalisation attempts to merge cultural boundaries, cultural differences are conspicuous in several layers of everyday life. …
Because wormholes connect two different points in spacetime, if we have the matter-consuming, gravitational-behemoth, a blackhole placed inside a wormhole, where will a traveller trapped by the wormhole’s blackhole be? Purgatory? Chris Nolan’s Inception’s Limbo? …
The beauty about humanity is that we can do whatever we want. The danger about humanity is that we can do whatever we want. …
In a world of ever-changing existential variables, the ultimate, universal pursuit will be the pursuit of equilibrium, attaining a balance flow of events in an entity’s environment. Often this equilibrium is driven by an anchor – an unfailing or seemingly unfailing “support system”. For example, for some, this takes the form of the supernatural, a God. And for others, a systematic machination of will, perspectives, logic, principles and experiences. Or even a combination of the above or of some other …
We’re often taken aback when we observe certain individuals exhibit habits or behaviours we thought they were incapable of. But if we consider that these individuals often did not just wake up and change, we might understand the phenomenon. “Harmless” compromises are the inception that culminate at the very behaviour or habit that shocks us. It all begins with one compromise which the individual takes for granted. “It’s just this time”. “It won’t happen again”. Well, until it’s happening for …
