The Course of life

Every time I feel low, a writer starts budding in me. This obviously does not cheer me up but mitigates the feeling and loosens my threads of mental agony. Additionally it gives me a constructive pass time.

B schools and Offices are not disabled friendly, and that is a bad thing

B schools and Offices are not disabled friendly, and that is a bad thing

Learnings and insights have a strange way of coming from the most random places and at the most random times. An insight came to me the last week from a sprained ankle. The last week I fell due to a general lack of eye-limb coordination and sprained my ankle rendering myself unable to walk. An X-ray followed to ensure that it is not a fracture-thankfully it wasn’t and I thought that my ordeal is nearly over. But as the next day dawned, I realised that the ordeal hasn’t even begun. Doing almost everything on my own became a challenge, but the biggest one was going to class.

The same 'TIME', but through a different eye

The same 'TIME', but through a different eye

A word which boasts of a whopping twenty – seven different meanings in Merriam Webster‘s lexicon – a word which science has failed to bind within the geometrical constrains of the English language. The elusive word in context here is ‘TIME’ – an enigma in itself. My objective here is not to add to the existing list of definitions and hence, contribute to the confusion, but to analyse, perhaps visualize and eventually attempt to realize what time actually is. I solemnly confess that my approach is neither inspired by Hawkings’ perspective, nor is it Newtonian in method – but is rather oriented towards the Shakespearan, the Freudian, or maybe even the Kafkaesque. Philosophers & scientists both have understood and believed that time is stretchable – indeed, it stretches from the alpha to the omega. It stretches from the severing of the umbilical cord of a new-born to the time when he has his ‘time’ up in this mortal world – and in between, it encapsulate joy, sorrow, anger, jealously, sacrifice, love, and every other emotion humanly possible.
