happy birthday professor

It all began with a book I couldn't understand. Its dense pages and complex equations sought to unravel the secrets of the universe, yet they only left my eight-year-old self bewildered. This was the "Theory of Everything," a concept far beyond my grasp at the time. But even in my confusion, one realization stuck with me: we, as humans, are tiny characters in a grand, cosmic play.

Sensing my curiosity, my mom gifted me something truly magical: "George and the Big Bang." This book, and the series it belongs to, felt like the approachable child of the "Theory of Everything." To this day, it remains one of my most memorable birthday gifts.

The series, penned by the brilliant scientist Stephen Hawking and his daughter Lucy, comprises six captivating sci-fi adventures of a young boy named George. From "George and the Secret Key to the Universe" to "George and the Ship of Time," each story whisked me away on thrilling explorations of the cosmos. These books weren’t just stories; they were gateways to understanding how science makes the seemingly impossible not only imaginable but also scientifically plausible—at least to an agreeable extent.

On the birthday of Stephen Hawking, the genius behind these masterpieces, I find myself filled with gratitude and awe. Despite the physical challenges he faced and the limited time he had, his unparalleled intellect and resilience left an indelible mark on humanity. His works continue to inspire countless young minds, including mine, to dream beyond the stars.

Thank you, Professor Hawking, for showing us that the universe is vast, mysterious, and endlessly fascinating—and that even the smallest characters in this grand play can dare to understand it.

it's really happening

When it all happens too fast  When you realise sitting around isn't an option anymore  When you feel the anxiety building  When your heart starts beating faster When your mind races imagining the impossible When your surroundings are quiet and dark but your gut pushes you to get out  When all that was once a routine slowly starts to end  When all the mistakes replay in your mind  When all your dreams aren't only what you see in sleep but the fuel to make everyday brighter Maybe that's when life's happening  Pulling you to make your decisions and draw your plan  Urging you to succeed in such a phenomenal way that even you had never imagined  Just random feelings and thoughts  - BHARATHI SENTHILKUMAR

WAYS OF THE MIND :D

  A churning storm,   a hidden rage,   But on my face, a practiced page.   No messy feelings, just cool clicks, A clockwork heart, with hidden tricks. The ways of the mind. What happens when you are constantly questioning things you cant change. Maybe that's the turbulence of the mind. The pilot who trains to fly through the turbulence is maybe the one who becomes successful. -Bharathi Senthilkumar

Survival vs. Success

It's a common misconception that survival and success are synonymous. While surviving challenges is undoubtedly a significant achievement, it doesn't necessarily equate to a fulfilling life. This post attempts to give perspective into the nuances of survival and success, exploring how they intersect and diverge. Historically, survival was the primary goal of human existence. Hunters and gatherers faced daily threats from predators and environmental factors. Their ability to adapt and overcome these challenges was paramount. Today, while our immediate threats have evolved, the fundamental need for survival persists. However, success is more than just staying alive. It involves achieving a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and well-being. This can be achieved through personal growth, career advancement, meaningful relationships, or contributions to society. Innovation has been a double-edged sword. It's increased our odds of survival, but it's also created new complexities. ...
