About me & why this blog?

I learned very late in life that nobody respects you if you just keep asking people for information.


You need to be like a branch. Growing up a bit and then extending your hand.
This literally translates to you making an effort to grow in knowledge and after you have the knowledge, this results in you being aware of your surroundings and not being taken advantage of.


People are gluts in the literal sense to know how much celebrities are worth but when the infamous soil out the beans regarding their success these gluts pack their bags and head home.

I was no different, but maturity is like fine wine at times.

Also, knowledge is celebrated in the company of others & not just be keeping it to oneself because you may know another aspect or another side of looking at things.

I have a friend who I aloof about most things, has 'zero' knowledge of taking to girls, is a master of the misers, so I too got influenced by the crowd's behavior and labeled him a no- knowledge-weird-boy.

And I was wrong.


I know him for eight years now and he has not changed one bit but my view about him has certainly taken a full 360. This happened because while partying, traveling to work with him, and chilling out randomly, he used to often tell me about a person or his views on a situation, and me in any state of mind could not twist my assumptions, predictions to his tune.


The above example had taught me to never live in a small cocoon of knowledge and always upgrade my mind to fill it with more information.


This blog is therefore dedicated to all those who like to explore the world digitally on random topics, rational and irrational, David and Goliath, Batman, and Ironman. Basically, anything that interests me and would like to share with you.

Parent’s day

Image
Did you even know that there was a parent’s day event celebrated globally every year on the  first of June ? If you blurted out a  ‘No’  within a split second, I won’t blame you and if it is a  ‘Yes’,  your numbers are, few far and wide. Now globally, this event is celebrated to honor the sacrifices that most parents make for their children & also for being an able captain or co-captains to make sure that their children learn how to swim through stormy seas. And who had started all of this? the  United Nations  in a 2012 General Assembly. The role of parents is taken for granted by most children and that's why some parents are  ignored, abandoned, or mistreated . It is a selfless deed undertaken by parents and they don't think of it as a mere responsibility. They open their world to welcome their children. Parents try to correct their children for all wrongdoings and ensure that they are treated as a hero when they achieve something. This i

The Mumbai Floods of 2005

Image
The above image is not taken from a water sport game involving buses. It’s in fact taken from the streets of our very own Mumbai city fifteen years back when heavy rainfall led to floods. This happened exactly on 26 th Jul, 2005 and today being an unfortunate anniversary of that dreaded day, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Mumbai City received more than 100 millimeters (mm) of rain fall on that day and such an event is categorized as ‘Cloud bursting’ or a sudden violent rainstorm. As the day begun, Mumbaikars (people living in Mumbai), started out their journey towards offices, schools, colleges, businesses, etc....  not knowing what was in store for them ahead. Suddenly, the clouds began to darken and the skies started to weep; people removed their shields which humans refer to as an ‘Umbrellas’ now-a-days and continued along their journey. As mentioned earlier, ‘Cloud bursts’ refer to a phenomenon where an area received more than 100

Raksha Bandhan 2020

When is Raksha Bandhan Festival? The normal occurrence of the Raksha Bandhan festival is on the full moon day in the month of Shravana from the Hindu calendar. Although these dates vary every year, this year it will fall on 3rd August, 2020 . Why is this Festival celebrated? This festival is celebrated to establish the bond between a brother and a sister. On this day, the sister ties a thread called ‘Rakhi’ to her brother's wrist. These days, this even is also celebrated between sisters who tie a ‘Rakhi’ to each other to celebrate the bond that siblings share. The whole purpose is to promise each other that they shall always be there for each other through thick & thin. Is Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) a Public Holiday? When the word festival comes to mind, the average working class Indian imagines themselves enjoying sip of tea, relaxing and blaming their workplace for their unfair treatment but Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi) is an
