 Nobody Has Opinions Anymore — Only Algorithms Do


“Are your thoughts yours… or recommended for you?”

Well, what is cool and what’s not, according to you, is not really according to you nowadays.

Our brain evolved into an epicentre of creation and innovation just because it had the power to think, analyse — without any prompt or suggestions. It took inputs from what’s around, and thought, created, analysed, and opined.

Many debates got a place in history books just because things were strongly opined — by oneself. People stood by their thoughts.

Unlike today, where your refreshed feed decides what will be the first thought that comes to you. And the next reel decides where it is directed.

Your brain then only finds what’s lacking in you, and whatever it is — when visualised with someone else — it automatically starts worshipping it, thinking of it as the ultimate truth.

Whatever that person says becomes true for you. Whatever choices that influencer makes sounds cool to you… without actually countering those choices.

Wake up, guys. Critical analysis has been described as a special feature of humans by scriptures like those of Chanakya. You’ve got to at least opine by yourself. By analysing.

You are not a monkey to mimic whatever others do. Fact is, nowadays, even monkeys don’t.

Be owner of your thoughts, don’t just borrow them.
Be original. Be creator. Be human.

Unfiltered thoughts pt 9- 'Healing isn't Aesthetic, it's raw.'

 Hey there! I’m back to pour you a cup of freshly brewed, perfectly unfiltered thought — Healing is not always pretty. Recently, I came across an Instagram meme that said: “Ye healing-hooling kuch nahi hota, ek cup chai pilado.” And it instantly triggered something in my brain — because that’s damn true. “Healing-hooling” is not as smooth as it sounds. It’s not always a feel-good thing. Although the word 'healing' sounds soothing to the ears, in practice, it often isn’t. As humans, we witness others and ourselves cycling through grief and happiness. And in between lies healing — unnoticed, yet the only bridge between those two states. Healing is usually associated with therapy sessions, yoga, journaling, or medicines. But lately, people seem to have cracked a new code: they are finding healing in a cup of tea, a short trip, a good book, or a heartfelt conversation. And maybe that's what's healing. It's raw. Maybe you dont even know you're healing out of somethin...

Anatomy of a promise..

  Hi there! Randomly, My brain just reminded me of how important promises are. And How, to interpret those in our own way. Thnking positively about promises can help us become more aware of our relationships and grant motivation.  And I thought of putting this topic in front of you, simplified, and dissected- The Anatomy of a Promise A promise is a fragile bone, it breaks not with noise, but on its own; yet strong as tendons, firm in place, when kept with care and steady grace. Promises come in shapes and sizes, some bring tears, some sweet surprises; sometimes as fine as capillaries thread, wrapped in layers of trust instead. In the plasma of a promise stay afloat love, loyalty, ethics, duty, sacrifice in every note. Promises are like kidneys —  keeps all relationships free from toxins, quietly cleansing what time softens. They are the framework, the muscle, the might, keeping relationships warm and bright; some ignite sparks, like neurons they bind, connecting two soul...

“Checkmate Your Mind: The Neuroscience of Chess and Cognitive Sharpness”

    "Every time you move on the chessboard, your brain makes a move too—strategizing, predicting, and recalibrating in real-time. But what if I told you that a simple game of chess acts as a mental gym workout, rewiring your brain for sharper thinking, faster decision-making, and enhanced creativity?"   Well, you should be amazed to know that chess has existed for over 1500 years, and guess what? It originated from our motherland, India. This game was initially called ‘Chaturanga.’ Almost everyone knows what chess is and what its pieces are—and according to my observations, ‘The Queen’ is the piece that everyone is most fond of. But here’s a fact!     The Queen's Chess Upgrade! Once, the queen in chess was pretty weak, moving just one square diagonally. But in the late 15th century, thanks to Queen Isabella of Spain, she got a major boost! Now she could move any distance in any direction, making the game way faster and way more intense.   ...
