For the last twenty years, India has been experiencing a kind of culture that requires the invention of a new category just to save the beauty and idea of culture itself. Chetan Bhagat, Rakhi Sawant, KRK, and the millions of TikTok videos are shattering the very definition of culture. Such accidental celebrities have occupied the fragile space of our democratic culture in the 21st century.

The Flowing Glow of Impermanence
In one lifetime, how many times do we die?
In a single life, how many times do we give birth to ourselves?
Why does our lived distant past seem ancient?
Why do ancient memories visit us randomly in nightmares?
Why does the future never arrive?
Why does our recent past look like the present?
Do we die and get born again in a single lifetime?
Or do we indeed live and die only once?

The Walking Dinosaurs and the Threadbare Net: Act Before the Due Date
If we do not care for others—if we fail to consider the human being standing beside us, and instead act like walking dinosaurs capable of crushing anyone beneath our giant feet—then we are signing up for our own extinction long before its due date.

The Invisible Grammar of Failure: Syntax for the Elite Club of the Striving
"The truth is that we must take risks. We must dive into the unknown. If we fail, we must fail forward. Every mistake we make is a stepping stone to something greater." — Marie Curie

The Catalog of Human Obsolescence
Strong humans choose living.
Because living is—above all.
Live first.
Breathe first.
Enjoy first.
Kiss first.
Love first.
Let therapy wait for the richer client.
Few empirical studies stand the test of time and the near-constancy of human nature. One such gem is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. I came across it in the early 2000s, and I have yet to find an alternative to this truth inscribed in the rigid geology of time.
