The Predictable Range The psychological standards tend to set out a range, called ‘normal’. Everyone beyond this range is a suspect. Someone who cannot be read as accurately as the normal people. Why is it important to read people? To predict their behaviour and how they may threaten one’s overall being. Reasoning and Beyond Backtracking human behaviours is easy if the pattern is identified. But for some folks, a pattern doesn’t exist for long. It keeps changing. There is a set of boundaries. When we imagine beyond that, it’s a free space. We can imagine people flying against the law of physics. Nothing other than one’s own mind can stop that. Where is the Limit? A whole lot of things exist in our imagination. But telling someone what to imagine? That’s some sick level of control. It is not about real or unreal, rational or irrational; it is about freedom of thoughts. It is not about whether god is there or not; nor is it about believing in god’s existence or the one true form, but what we are allowed to think about god. The difference between a religious belief and imagination is the limit. It’s not just limiting one’s own imagination, but limiting others’ imaginations as well. Eliminating Deviations Sure, we want to imprison the predators and killers and the corrupt people in power. But does it really have anything to do with deviance? Does one having different psychological traits make them commit crimes? The definition of crime is a discussion for another day. Do we institutionalise them because they are harmful to common people or is it to safeguard the ignorance? A Big Dream A person with a vision is scary to the preserver of the status quo. Knowing the reality and daring to defy it. The transition from reality to dream or vice-versa. Natural Course of Events There is no natural course in a world ruled by humans. There are volatile patterns. Someone must take the necessary steps to bring about a major change. Sure, history can be a guide; but it should not be repeated line by line, that will not work in the context. Strategies that have been studied will be detected soon. Hence, novelty is required. That is not reliable.
The portrayal of women in contemporary Indian media plays a crucial role in shaping their career paths and societal expectations. Representation matters; when young women see others in non-traditional roles, they are more likely to aspire to follow their ambitions. Historically, Indian media, particularly daily soaps, has depicted the ideal woman as a homemaker. However, there is a noticeable shift as working women are increasingly represented on television. A new trend on platforms like Instagram features tradwives, who advocate for homemaking as a valid choice. Yet, in the Indian context, where societal pressures often suppress women’s desires to join the formal workforce, this can hardly be deemed a true choice. The transition from homemaker to professional is fraught with challenges, particularly in male-dominated fields where stereotypes persist—expecting men to be doctors while women take on nurturing roles like nursing. ...
In our quest to understand the cause of existence, we invented hundreds of religions. By now, those who have allowed their minds to wander beyond conformity are aware of the pitfalls of that approach. Let’s be clear; this isn’t a religious stance or a scientific endeavor. It lacks a definitive truth or a testable hypothesis. At most, it can be termed a philosophical perception, closely resembling a metaphysical explanation. Whether you choose to accept, question, or reject it is entirely up to you. ...
There was a scream. I woke up panting. Reality was no longer cognizable to me. It had been like that for quite a while. My schizophrenia medications were not infallible after all. I had some water and checked the time. It’s 02:53. No, 02:23. But honestly, who cares? Time is just a book of memories for me. I remember two things I did today, about thirty minutes total. That’s it. Twenty-four hours of the day are compressed into thirty minutes for me. ...
AI Marketing Copies are Bland The sheer lack of originality and personal touch in AI generated marketing copies is very prominent. Generic sentences with fake exclamation make it seem like there was no real effort put in that, which is somewhat true. Although a good prompt can generate a moderately unique-looking copy, it still lacks the human touch, which is an abstract factor well recognised by our brains. To capture the attention of the audience we need creativity and tailor it as per the demography. ...
