Moontivating

 


Moon day is celebrated on July 20 marking the day in history when man landed on the moon for the first time. It was on July 20, 1969,when Apollo 11 carried two Astronauts to the surface of the moon.

As the sphere in shades of grey rises in the night sky ,

My mind begins wandering into the world of ambitions
The phases of moon looks like a pictorial representation of the phases of our life
The waxing and waning - from the full moon to the new moon
The knowledge and experiences gathered from incidents that didn't particularly go the way you expected it to,

 the success and motivation acquired from turning points in life
During the lunar eclipse the acquired red shade tells us that when your colours change the entire world admires you greatly
Its uneven rocky surface marks that
it is impossible to be perfect if your the light in the path you are making!!

Art vs AI

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many artists and creative professionals are growing concerned.

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...
