What exactly is love? Is it that entity which claims to have no language or is it simply a song by Haddaway saying ‘baby don’t hurt me’ on repeat. Well, one thing’s assured, if … Continue reading Crazy Little Thing Called Love….

“The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.” Said John Green once. Night time has a different definition for everyone. For some, it is the end of the day, lights out, but for some others, it is the time they come alive. Alternatively, not everyone has night at the same time so that makes the issue even more twisted. The concept of ‘night’ maybe debated among us … Continue reading Into The Night!
Latitudes and longitudes are a prime(pun intended:)) example of the depth of human imagination. The other being imaginary numbers which are quite a waste of time. The GMT timezone is one which determines the clock hands of the entire world. And what’s impressive is that wheels of time are determined by nothing but a figment of human imagination, aka the Prime Meridian. It’s quite an … Continue reading Prime Time London!

In India, we celebrate the … Continue reading The Good Over Evil Dynamic

Here’s some food for imagination: What if dinosaurs never went extinct? I mean, that would be a world where you’re on a nice little road trip down a winding, forested hill and suddenly, instead of a deer crossing the road, there’s a full grown Triceratops trotting across tar to the other side. Also, there would be no chance of scuba diving if our reptilian predecessors … Continue reading Natural History Museum, London
Robin Williams once said, “There’s a world out there. Open a window, and it’s there.“ One unsung aspect while travelling the world is the window seat. Sitting by the window in a moving vehicle adds a whole new depth to the journey. It shows a glimpse of a network, be it by road or by sea or even by air, which connects the world and gives … Continue reading The Window Seat
