Twists in my Life #1

Recently, a very life changing event took place.
It changed the perspective I had to many aspects of life. 

Each day when I wake up with the excitement of a new sunrise, 
When I wake up with the gratefulness of another chance to prove myself and accept myself.

I am certain of what will happen the next moment.
I've planned the next move the second before
Yet I am anxious of the future, unable to experience the present.

What happens to the 'Plan' if there is an unexpected event?

I started to feel broken
I started looking for excuses to assure myself that I'm not wasting my time. 

I think I am feeling this way only because nothing has happened to me, nothing big enough for me to even understand the pain.
I'm just affected by what has happened to my mother. It not only affects me as I am to take over the various responsibilities in the house but on an emotional level, its simple hard to process truth. 

She has gotten hurt and we have 100% grantee and hope that she will get better in a matter of months. 

I'm getting a feeling that the main requirement to live life according to all those plans or more specifically the first and foremost plan is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, for a happy life. I want to accept things more easily, even if there are not always on the road to growth. 

I'm an having an all-new experience of helping others, just staying by their side, take care of the house, allow the activities to unfold and finish them on the go, maybe it is a full-scale attempt of the big concept of 'multi-tasking'. Accepting the inability to manage two or three things together, handling all the comments of the food, most importantly managing time has been quite a task which I'm obviously failing at. 

But surely, I'm learning a lot, each day. Just now feeling all the things that were always done for me, the things that go unnoticed until you don't get the taste of it.

A short article to summarize a major part of the month, an experience I have never even dreamed of having!!

Art vs AI

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many artists and creative professionals are growing concerned. Just as the Industrial Revolution automated manual labor, AI now seems to be taking over intellectual and artistic work. From writing and research to art and learning, it’s quite agonizing to watch AI make even our minds complacent. Sure, AI offers the benefits of speed and efficiency. But if we start accepting vague reproductions of a lifetime’s work, it raises serious concerns about how we express perspectives. The key difference between human-made and AI-generated art lies in emotion . Every word, brushstroke, and musical note carries the weight of personal experience, cultural shifts, and societal narratives. Art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling, struggle, and human connection. AI can be a useful tool, but it shouldn’t replace human artistry. It lacks the ability to feel, dream, or rebel —qualities that define great art. Instead of letting AI...

Apathy's Anchor

 A lone tree  claimed  the land,    Lost in its own silence .  It  held fast , though winds did roar,  And birds sang,  unheard .  Fixed in its gaze , The cows moved, the clouds drifted.  For how could a rock ever truly smile?  Or a desert ever truly weep? - Bharathi Senthilkumar

Book Review – Democrazy

I recently read Democrazy during a long train journey from my hometown to Chennai, and it was quite an engaging experience. The book offers a satirical take on democracy, exploring why ordinary citizens often feel they can question the system but find it difficult to bring about meaningful change. While referencing the famous phrase “for the people, by the people”, it examines how the idea sometimes appears complicated in practice, despite being outlined in one of the longest constitutions in the world. The author uses humor and sharp observation to present scenarios that oscillate between amusing and thought-provoking. The narrative describes different forms of challenges faced by citizens—such as bribery, exploitation, and bureaucratic hurdles—through a cast of fictional characters: a head of government, an ambitious family member, a veteran party member, an influential industrialist, a sincere journalist, a socially active citizen (particularly on social media), a strict school prin...
