When I picked up COVID-19 AND HUMANITY – A RETRO-INTROSPECTION by Vishnu Mithinti, I didn’t expect it to take me back so vividly—to the eerie silence of lockdowns, the stifling fear of a cough in a grocery store, or the relentless updates of case numbers ri...

Imagine if the villain from your favourite video game suddenly materialized in real life, and it was up to a young boy to create a superhero to save the day. Sounds thrilling, right? If you remember the movie Ra.One — where a video game villain comes alive — Gizmo feels almost like a spiritual sequel, but with a much richer emotional core and a proudly Indian soul.

You ask what good is this life.Aimless days embraced with open arms, A piece of paper decides a life's plan.Blinders preferred, mediocrity sought,Creativity dictated, clamping thoughts.You ask what good is this life.The suffocated smile and pretend to breathe,Warriors retreat and swords are sheathed.Social acceptance - the primary concern,A moment's hesitation - a lifetime to yearn.You ask what go...
I still remember the exact moment I stumbled upon the quote: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”It stopped me in my tracks. I was standing in a library aisle, flipping through pages like I always do, when these words hit me right between the eyes. I wasn’t even looking for a book on war strategy — but this?
