I pick up my phone to check the time, but put it down say 22 minutes later. I had laughed twice, maybe, learnt nothing (usually), and still did not know what the time is.If you are reading this and smiling, then you have done it too.We keep saying the kids these days can't focus. Have you looked at us? The kids at least are honest about it. We adults have a list of genuine excuses to justify it, o...
Most of us have heard of the double slit experiment.As a refresher, here it is - You fire electrons, one at a time, at a plate with two slits cut into it. Behind the plate is a screen. Common sense says each electron goes through one slit or the other (its a particle), and you should end up with two bands on the screen.

We often imagine that the most dangerous secrets in a relationship are the ones someone tells us.Perhaps they aren’t.Perhaps the more dangerous ones are the secrets someone successfully keeps from us.That thought stayed with me while reading Anubha Gupta’s The Almost Perfect Wife. Because beneath the murder mystery, the twists and the ancestral house in Mashobra, this is really a story about somet...
(part 1 of 4)AbandonedLeft on the street with no guide or map,I picked myself up and closed the gap.They said I was done, said I’d fall and break,I built from the ashes for my own sake.Storms tried to pull me under the tide,I learned to swim with the hurt inside.Scars on my back, but fire in my crown,They left me to sink.

When a Border Separates Two People, What Exactly Does It Fail to Separate?Some love stories are about two people trying to find each other.Dear Zahira, With Love by Sachin NG is about something more difficult: two people trying to remain connected when history has decided they belong on opposite sides of a border.That distinction stayed with me.Because we often talk about Partition through numbers...
