THE MISSING BONE

Image: Pixabay-Seanbatty Like the hours before the dawn appear murky, skepticism hits our psyche right before the world witnesses a technological breakthrough. This century, we are engrossed in a mind-bending dialogue with ourselves whether Artificial Intelligence is going to be a Frankenstein experience or a 21st-century mega invention.  Image: Pixabay-darksouls1 My two cents to the world would rather be to not indulge in dialogue but to look at both the parameters and decide for ourselves how we maneuver around it. Take a moment with me and peek, not too far, but only in the 19th and 20th centuries. Skim through the brouhaha and behold the wonders of Telegraph, Sewing Machine, Photography, Internet, Television, and many more. These are only a few jargons to name and much to our anticipation, they brought immense commotion along with relief in disbelief to our lives. However, it has always been up to us whether we let these things spoil us or use them judic...

I have not ventured far and beyond to observe birds, flourishing vegetation or made a tour to many national parks so far. Nevertheless, I have had a few interactions with local flora and fauna community once or twice and that is when I got an opportunity to offer little help to make them thrive and sustain. Image by katja from Pixabay It turns out, even if you have not had an opportunity to venture in the Jungles and Prairies like those who make a difference in community by providing their efforts in the restoration of life and vegetation, you can still come across few to several occasions when you can pat yourself on the back.   Image by Nilanka Sampath from Pixabay Some years ago during the season of heavy snowfall, an eagle fell with a thud on the icy snow after having flown right across a glass window. It hurt its wings so bad that the blood started oozing out. I happened to witness her predicament right from her hapless flight to the fall. The only help I could think of to off...

Image by Prawny from Pixabay Time is writing history in present for our future. We are going to be known as COVID-Era people who have witnessed its onset and will go on to see its aftermath and afterglow as well. For most of us whose life has fortunately been less troubled by the pandemic, probably only get to worry about the new norms of monotony and the likes.  For others who have had to worry beyond the scopes of monotony, out in the shackles of crisis, deserve  genuine good wishes. The contagious disease has gripped the world in utter confusion and worry for future. Undoubtedly, the most impact has been on the life itself followed by the worry and concerns of survival, mostly financial. PC: Stock Images Impact of COVID: It is a world known fact by now that small business owners or local business owners, including daily wage earners have faced the hardest brunt. When the world shut down in the hopes of controlling the pandemic, many struggled to survive. A local survey reve...

Love is an emotion, no word, no emoticon and no one can define in its entirety. Since time immemorial, it has been at the pedestal of all feelings and people have described it in various ways. All kinds of discourse hold their grounds to be correct and apt. Love is depicted and imagined to exist in different forms and degrees like romantic love, love between parents and children, topped by the kindest and most purest of a mother's love, love for humanity as a whole, love between friends, love between siblings and so on. Ponder over: My question to you to ponder over is, does love really have a 'kind' or does love really need to be based on a particular type of relation?   Isn't love a mystery? Philosophers, thinkers and lay men have brainstormed and come up with a variety of description, yet it seems like we do not understand what love really is. Various Forms: While love has been defined as a very strong feeling of affection, encompassing everything positive, it has al...

There is a famous proverb which goes like 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade'. It has been rearranged in several ways like, 'When life gives you lemons, squirt it in people's eyes', 'When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave them wondering how you did it', 'When life gives you lemons, take out the salt and the shot-glasses and fill them up with tequila', etc.  I decided to make one of my own - 'When life gives you lemons, take the seeds out and plant a lemon tree'. How about that?  For sure, each one of us has one or the other problem we got to deal with, willingly or unwillingly. Often followed by uneasiness, anxiety, trouble relaxing, sadness, helplessness and what not. We feel stuck and imprisoned in shackles.  In one of my earlier posts, Ithaca was a topic of discussion. ( Revisit Motherhood For Ithaca ) .  Let us revisit the concept once again to rekindle the idea of relaxing when life really becomes a big glob of s...
