  • Back in Time

    Does music make you ponder on the lyrics? ‘When I was just a little girl, my mother said to me, que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future’s not ours to see, que sera sera.’ It is one of my favourite songs and it makes me think, what is the future? Is it… →

  • My Shadow, My Brahman

    I can see my shadow. I can do things that are wrong, things that are right. It follows me everywhere, it is nothing but a dark something. My black shadow feels euphoric when I do, it is depressed and stooped when I am sad, it is with me everytime. With shadow comes life, any living… →

  • Clouds.Epiphanies.

    There’s a moment in my memory. As I was staring at the window of the plane, there was a crimson red singular line, 3000 miles high, from sea level. I could see the clouds under the plane, which were the same as on the day I had stood up to imagine sitting on it. It’s… →

  • A perceptual delight- Ardhanareeshwaran.

    A perceptual experience that comes to my mind is a dance (Bharatanatyam) recital that I recently went to watch. A dance piece that caught my eye was that of Shiva and Parvati -Ardhanareeshwaran where the body is vertically divided into Man-Shiva and Woman-Parvati. While it was a visual treat for the audience, there was also a… →

  • The Sound of Silence

    It’s always there in the backdrop Everything brought out vibrant Because it lies in the back of everything Like hues more brilliant superimposed on white A blank Words float about Music flows in and out Laughter.. it lingers around A shout echoes through that space, that time It’s quiet – but not quite Calm is… →

  • The Pale Blue Dot

    4th February 1990, the day that the spacecraft Voyager 1 left the planetary parameter of our solar system, scientists back at Nasa decided to turn it around for one last look at our home planet, the earth.  6.4 billion kilometers away, suspended in the starry abyss of the edges of our solar system, the Voyager… →

  • Essentials in Philosophy of Science

    An essential understanding of Philosophy of Science entails one to first understand what kind of knowledge one ensues in one’s accumulation of it. What is the kind of investigations, beliefs and meanings and questions is one pursuing? A branch of philosophy that inquires into the knowledge and the method for the same is epistemology. Epistemology… →

  • I AM

    I Am. This is epic, to talk about my identity, about I. It is the only thing that I can be loyal to forever, because it revolves around me, and I? Being a human, naturally, I am rightfully anthropocentric. To do away with the sarcasm however, I am within myself a valid existence simply and… →

  • Perspectivism and The Mahabharat

    Perspectivism is the term coined by Friedrich Nietzsche in developing the philosophical view (touched upon as far back as Plato’s rendition of Protagoras) that all ideations take place from particular perspectives. This means that there are many possible conceptual schemes, or perspectives in which judgment of truth or value can be made. This is often… →

  • Observer

    She turned to the camera and looked right into its eye. She seemed to be a walking reminder that everything has an eye or a point of vulnerability, you only need to know where to look. She smiled and began talking. “I’ve always been a bit of an observer. I’ve spent my entire life looking… →
