"Whispers of a Wandering Mind"

One day, you initiate it. You begin your day in this very same manner, with no idea of what is appropriate or inappropriate. Just thoughts, thoughts on how easy life is, how hard life is, or anything... I wonder if others who think excessively about everything are considered overthinkers or if I am the only one who enjoys thinking meticulously about everything, which is also a more loving behavior. The sound of that one bird singing about its world and its own cage-free existence pleased me.

Are we all living a no-cage life today? We are living a complexly simplified life of our own and living life with all those other 8 billion people on this platform called Earth. How beautiful that would be if I was the only one doing what I was doing, though someday, I would be alone chasing my dreams, will it be called chasing really?

While thinking about that, what do we define chasing in life? Want that for ourselves or is that too for the world? ! the WORLD … seems like I am truly living in the world of globalization right and I have entangled my legs into the winds of employment generating cotton candy when nothing seems sweet, it doesn’t taste sweet, it just looks sweet.

But that's the point, right? We want to taste the lollipop of achievement and avoid the candy stick or have someone hold it for us; if it were possible, I would have seen a lot of people doing it.

Indian festivals and ‘saki saki re’

For the last 3 years that I have spent living in the heart of Pune City, the Peth area, the question I have in my mind, like many others, is WHY? If it was for 1 time, I would be ok with it, but this has become the scenario for every festival, and every event. The extremely loud music systems. So loud and harmful that the cat near my hostel was scared and was finding a place to hide desperately, so loud that the windows in my room were shaking, and we could feel the waves standing anywhere in the radius of 10 meters of those speakers. The harm it causes is a long list. But people are ready to defend it, saying, Don’t you respect these deities? Are you not aware of X leader’s contribution to history? And so on! But the question is totally invalid, because how much do you respect that god if all you are playing is item songs like Saki Saki and then changing them if some old man scolds you near the stage? Yes, change 2 songs and play the same bullshit again. This is how much you pay respe...

Song in the queue...

When you open Spotify, play a song, and then the next song is played according to their algorithm, it is sometimes a treat, and sometimes it happens to be extremely annoying. You are like, brooo, that was not today's vibe, that doesn't suit the mood at all! Spotify just knows how you feel usually and plays that, but today you don't wanna listen to that same song which you were maybe dancing to yesterday… How surprising it is... Your playlist defines you, as they say... I would like to deny that today. Bcoz I am not that same person when I've completed my targets, I am not that same person in the morning when I don't really have a mood to study, neither am I the same person who wants to stare at the sun till it goes down and it's so dark that mosquitos will have you for dinner, nor am I the same person as nobody loves me, and offcourse not the same as I can do it with a broken heart, mostly it also cannot be like I'm unstoppable ( although I wish it was).

Government Gridlock, Grassroots Gains: Rethinking Climate Responsibility

Why Individual Action is the Key to Fighting Climate Change Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, but the debate continues: should governments take the lead, or do individuals hold greater responsibility? While policies and regulations play a role, history and evidence suggest that individuals, through conscious choices and grassroots efforts, have been the true drivers of climate action. Government Policies: Slow and Often Ineffective Governments have implemented various climate policies, from carbon pricing and renewable energy incentives to stricter environmental regulations. However, these efforts often fall short due to economic concerns, political instability, and corporate influence. Failed Government-Led Climate Actions France’s Yellow Vest Protests (2018-2019) serve as a stark example of how government-led policies can backfire. The French government introduced a fuel tax designed to reduce carbon emissions, but this led to mass protests as fuel ...
