Maybe you are looking for a spouse, or even someone missing in your life. No matter what the situation is the life feels like a search function. Have you ever contemplated about this?

Yesterday I was having a chat with the sky. And sky said I am trying to do business with everything. I thought, Mmmmmm.. maybe I am. Guess what? I did. I tried to commercialize the sky. But when I think about it, I realized the sky is already commercialized. Like everything else on earth, from a grain of silicon to charcoal, to a drop of oil to the wind which is evergreen. This article is a brief description on how to commercialize the sky. How to commercialize the sky? Sky i

You are already a winner, If you woke up this morning when a thousand reasons there for you to get late. You are a winner, if you smiled with a fellow human being, despite knowing how unpleasant some of them are. You are a winner if you typed a sentence in you cooperate letters, with a smile. You are a winner if you drank plenty of water today, so future you are free of kidney stones. A winner: You are a winner if you kept a book open on your desk, for you to wake up and read

Oldest problem of philosophy - Seneca occupation Until recently I thought the problems of modern man were very recent, due to the development of urban culture. It seems majority of the people in the city are stuck in some job doing things and getting busy by themselves without actually living a life of their own. But apparently this is not a very modern problem than industrial revolution created. Rather industrial revolution and development have created more opportunities for

Presence of a visible audience. Imagine a play, a dance of ballet or a show or comedy. The actors have a place to perform, which is in front of the audience. They prepare their whole lives to act. They do numerous rehearsals, plot changes, and expensive costumes. They make sure the stage is well lit, and elevated above the ground so everyone can see. On the day of the performance, they get ready in the backstage putting a final make up before entering the arena. And they do a

Understanding past. I am not going to trick you and divert you to some AI generated hypothesis to discuss current hypothesis about time travel. But simply, I am going to discuss how, what and why understanding past has an enormous impact on my own life. So, if you follow the arguments, you will see this also apply to your life too. If it doesn't, fine, you can move on to the next article or the cat picture you need to see on your screen. The past, as I have discussed before h

Hi ren Recently I came across the song in the name of hi Ren, by the artist of the same name. He seems to have flown over the coco's nest to tell us a story about good and evil. The song is about the mental battle inside the arena of his own brain. The fact is I cannot recreate what he has done with words, emotions and melodies. So, I invite you to listen to the song instead. Fight between good and evil. Fight between good and evil is well known. We saw it in Tom and Jerry, i

Today is not yet started. It is still dark and silent. Kitchens are not filled with housewives. Birds are still sleeping in nests. The sun is barely visible in the sky. It amazes me when I know only me and frogs are just up for an early start. Perhaps frogs never slept because they had a wedding last night. So, while this background chatter is going on I was contemplating about yesterday. Yesterday. Was typically ordinary. Kids started early in the day. We skipped swimming cl

My story of how I lost my cash Yesterday I lost my cash. I was distracted, I was sleepy so, I had some cash in my hand which I lost somewhere. I realized it only when I woke up next morning that the cash was missing. I needed that as it represented my time, I have spent working. I cannot take back those hours, as I traded it with this cash that I lost. However, there was nothing to do. I tried to recover it in vain. Looked for it everywhere. Asked everyone. But it was gone. V

My visit to the zoo.. I have been to the zoo. Where poor animals are kept in captive for the entertainment of the superior maniac animal called humans. I am not sure the Orangutan who lives in an isolated tree, separated from its family in the Jungle think that we are Non-Orangutan Barbaric species. But who cares, he would not speak for himself in his lifetime. Let the NGOs to deal with the animal cruelty. I am here for the task of contemplating life looking at animal Holocau

Father was cutting some mangoes. For Lily and Rosy. Lily White loved mangoes. While he was at its Rosy suck into the Kitchen. She was smiling. "Father, do you know what Sea Is made out of?" "I do not know darling." "Dinosaur pee! " Father could not stop his laugh, so he asked. "Who said so?" "You know my friend Daisy, she says the dinosaurs peed so much that it all made a river and made the sea. Scientists do not know it is Dinasour Pee, so they just call it sea. If you're dr

Moby Dick is all about whales and whaling and everything else. If you find anything connected to a whale you will find some mentioning in the Moby Dick. Consider it to a dictionary on whaling. In a time of scarce resources like 1800s, I wonder how Herman Melville gained all the necessary information, from where? From a library? From newspapers? By interviewing people? Maybe majority of his novel is fictional, yet I am sure at some point he referred to history books when writi

Disclaimer: This article discusses death and holocaust. Selfish gene I am a selfish person. There is no doubt about that. So is everyone else. We are moved on this earth by a will which is hardwired into our brains, which has only one objective called "SURVIVAL" of the individual. As today, survival is generously easy, we do not find much conflict with my survival to your survival. But it is during hard times that survival matters, and our greed become apparent. In Tsunamis,

Traditional Games we play Games that we play in life are many. From baseball to cricket, and from the Olympics to the Diamond League. It was not recently that I wrote about the Tour de France. However, this article is not about traditional "Games". There are some games in life we play by default, mostly without an immediate audience. It is important to recognize these games, as our happiness does depend on them. To be honest, one of my friends suggested writing about this art

I am sure you have heard about the 80/20 rule or Peretto principle which states that 80% of the outcome is achieved by 20% of actions. However, there is more to this simple rule and more and more context which it is applied. You might be a student and say 80% of your exam results are due to only 20% of your work. If you are an entrepreneur 80% of your profit is gained by 20% of your operations. Obvious question one would then ask is AM I WASTING MY TIME? Am I wasting my time?

Why do social Hierarchy exist? Social hierarchy is something exist for the natural purpose of command. It is not just a structure which occurs in human interaction. If you look at any group of animals, you will notice a hierarchy. A group of elephants, a pack of wolves, a family of rabbits. Generally, the ones who are more powerful, and more capable of survival with unique advantage are at the top. In the case of elephants, that would be the mature elephant with a lot of memo

Creativity comes in bursts. If you work in a creative field, you may have noticed that. Creativity has this special character; it comes in bursts. Lately it made me wonder why? Sometimes it is really annoying when a creative outburst happens when I am in the middle of a serious project working together with my Boss. What am I supposed to do? Stop everything I am doing and start writing poems during a cooperate meeting? Why doesn't creativity occur when I want it? Like during

Impressionist movement. Impressionism was a movement created by a group of artists in modern Paris, where they were trying to break free from traditions. In traditional art, during bygone era, people appreciated paintings which closely resembled what they saw in real life. In a time where photography was not an art this really makes sense as perhaps the drawing was the only way of creating what eyes could see. However, artists including Cloude Monet, Edgar Degas and Camillie

Luck is just an oversized corn in a cornfield. Luck is not without reasons. This is something which we forget whenever we see a lucky person. Imagine your neighbor wins the lottery, and he became a millionaire overnight. You will think, why not me? I am always unlucky. But you forget the fact that you didn't buy a ticket. Anyone could buy a ticket, right? Anyone could go to a casino and win a jackpot, become lucky, if they are willing to bet a horse. As you can see luck doesn

Folk tale of seven Merchants. Once upon a time there were seven merchants. They were carrying goods from place to place on their backs. They lived in seven villages nearby. One day they were on a quest, and tired of walking all day they met at an abandoned house by the road. As they knew each other, all were happy to see everyone else, and they were hungry. M1 : "Hmmm... what shall we cook today?" M2: "We can make a porridge for supper." M3: "We shouldn't cook separately, as
