Free will

I was watching this link of Time magazine – 100 photos of all time. These are 100 photos that are kind of defining in our recent past. These photos include photo from first man on moon and Mohammad Ali winning against Sonny Liston to Tank man (China democracy demand of late 1980s) to other atrocities…
Lessons from animations

In Three idiots, character of Aamir Khan says – “Sab jagah gyan bant raha hai, jahan se jitna man kare, le lo” In Hindi – सब जगह ज्ञान बाँट रहा है, जहाँ से जितना मन करे, ले लो Translation – Knowledge is everywhere (shared), whatever amount of it you want to capture, just grab it.…
Everything is ephemeral

Water was boiling, I stared at it for a while, brought sugar and tea powder. We make tea/coffee rarely at home, mostly on weekends.
