It is not the amount of knowledge that makes a brain. It is not even the distribution of knowledge. It is the interconnectedness. ~ James Gleick,


Every time you open Google Maps, your phone is talking to at least four satellites orbiting 20,000 km above Earth. Each one beams down ultra-precise timestamps basically saying, “It was 12:00:00.000001 when I sent this.” Your phone measures how long each signal takes to…


There is no hierarchy of suffering. There's nothing that makes my pain worse or better than yours. ~ Edith Eger


The Missing Heart in Modern Medicine Recently, my 31-year-old son, who has Down Syndrome, was hospitalised after a fall that caused a minor hip fracture. The surgery went well, and he has since been discharged. Yet, the experience left me deeply disturbed. A year earlier, I had…

Singapore built a nation on discipline, meritocracy and zero tolerance for corruption. Even if it meant curbing personal freedoms, it ensured the system worked, fast, clean and fair. India has the outer shell of strict rules, endless regulations and red tape but does not have the…


We have entered a dystopian age. All you hear is lies. From mostly everywhere. Nothing is what it is made out to be. In these circumstances, one should retreat from the noise and the propaganda, the headlines and the bluster, and talk to oneself. Honestly. You will get your…

Replug | Over the past decade, the BJP underwent a transformation into a cult of personality, while depicting the prime minister as an otherworldly – non-biological even – figure with a “1,000-year vision”. scroll.in/article/106910… What happens when that image is brought to…

In an overwhelming attempt to capture memories on phones, people have forgotten to make memories. Maybe that’s the lesson in social media’s steady decline: genuine connection was never meant to scale. –

There are more atoms in a grain of sand than there are grains of sand on earth. Hold a grain of sand and you hold a paradox: more atoms inside it than grains of sand on Earth. Each atom holds nuclei with quarks, gluons, quantum fields flickering from the void. Infinity nested…
