PC: Book Cover I didn't have the slightest of inkling that Economics and satire could co-exist.  PC: Canva Until I understood the graphs (yes, there are graphs), I was engulfed by the ominous existential crisis. And to couple that, there are laws which are called basic.  PC:  juliastamman.com Somebody must be pranking me because it says, it does not matter who you are.  To top this all, this book was suggested to me by my sister.  Hello!

Each one of us is fully aware of the horror of hair loss. The affect such a loss has on our psyche to that terror we feel at the dead of night thinking of solutions to stop the recession, err...the hair loss, has an immense impact on us. And, we got nothing but to pat our 'light-head' to sleep. Gruesome sketch, right? But it is what it is! When we start losing hair and we no longer wake up to dreams of face and hands full of extra voluminous hair out of nowhere as we once used to, the terror depicted above stands valid.  What A Malady:  Hair is a natural resource.

PC: Stock Images This one is a question and an introspection.  Ever since the rise in availability of easily accessible information over the Internet, have we developed a hidden reluctance to explore the power of memorization?  Is it true that we see availability of information just a click away and take it for granted?  Have we forgotten the idea of  'learning by heart'?  PC: Stock Images These are some questions skimming through my head when I regularly dive in a flurry of several open tabs and enormous browsing history every single day.

What is Insomnia: An everyday battle with falling asleep is insomnia. The ability to enjoy a sound sleep is hampered, affecting productivity and health. Major factors affecting sleep are spending time over screen and stress. A little local survey revealed that even though people experience stress on and off, it still affects them a lot. Screen time, especially browsing aimlessly on smart phones is a factor people do out of habit.  Why is Insomnia Debilitating: What makes lack of sleep harmful is that it makes us cranky and sluggish. It also makes us less attentive at work. This calls for caffeine intake more than it is required. Sleep-deprived bo...

This is going to be a special shout-out to women who have stepped into the realm of motherhood in the era of Covid, 2020.
