Rethinking. They say that you’re an over thinker- that you pick and choose every word you say, that you never know how to make decisions, that you’re continuously wrought with anxiety. As cruel as their words may seem, it’s so easy to believe them. And now, only their words matter. No amount of comfort from…
It is no longer a question of whether we can control an entire species gene code, but should we? Should we play with something that connects every living thing on this planet? Even if it meant that one of our deadliest enemies could be neutralized, or that over a million people every year could be…

Through this collection of blog posts, I hope to build a unique bond between people living through two very different yet special seasons of life.…
In general, most people often like to fantasize. We like to imagine worlds where toil and poverty doesn’t exist, where diseases, eradication and wars are a thing of the past; worlds where we are the controllers of our lives, without the presence of any over-bearing individuals pushing us around. That’s one of the main reasons…
One world: a world where everyone is happy, mingling together, celebrating the diversity, accepting the differences, promoting faith in kindness and humanity. In that world, every person had a reason to smile, and only one aim: to make that world a better place to live for everyone. But alas! It was just a dream. But…
