A Goat Story


It was a beautiful day in the forest. A goat gave birth to her child. She quickly washed her child in her mouth. She was hungry. So she went ahead to arrange food. She observed her child is following her from behind. She was amazed. Then she kept moving forward searching for food. A lake blocked the road. The water current was high. She waited for a while until her child joined. Then she started crossing the river 

The child was not sure whether she can cross it or not. Finally she could not hold the temptation & landed in the river. Her mother was a fierce animal. The water current was nothing for her. So she kept moving forward. But her child was timid. Her steps were shivering in cold. Then she started to swim but couldn't. Slowly water swept her farther from her mother. While she is struggling, she started to scream for help from her mother. But her voice was hardly audible in the roaring water. 

After mother goat crossed the lake, she arrived on the land & looked back to see her child. There was none. The lone struggle of a newborn child was just not enough. The mother was devastated. She fall flat on ground with despair. 

[I wish she learnt a lesson from that tragic incident. Had she not left her child alone, it would have been different. But did she learn it ? Or, is it that they just don't have the power to imagine the result of their actions & to learn from them ? ]

3 Ways to Pick Non-Fiction Books for a Fun Reading Experience

If you are reading this then I am assuming you have come accross few books in past & looking forward to lift your reading a notch higher.  So what do you think about reading ?  How that experience of holding a book & reading it all by yourself inside a calm room sounds like ?  Fun, right ?   Hell no.  Opposed to scrolling Netflix & Instagram, the idea of putting down your head over a book already sounds quite geeky, which could be described as the opposite of fun. But is there any way to make it fun ? Ofcourse. You can have a coffee. You can sit over a comfortable chair with a comfy cushion inside a home whose doors give way to a cool green balcony. That's the decoration part. But there is something more important than decoration & that's the secret.  It's fun  ONLY IF YOU PICK THE BOOKS RIGHT FOR YOU . Read that sentence again.  I didn't say "Pick the RIGHT BOOKS" I said "Pick the books RIGHT FOR YOU". Got it ? Now that's what ma

An Underrated Aspect of Waking Up Early : Backed by Experiment

Welcome !  This is a blog post that tackles an issue almost 80% people deal with : WAKING UP EARLY.  Now given the kind of lifestyle our generation is exposed to, it's no wonder why sleeping on time & waking up early feels like an ordeal of infinite magnitude. Sadly, like many others, I have felt it all my life & rarely succeeded.  Now there are hundreds of explanations about how to do that effectively. There is the role of diet, exercise, surrounding temperature, sound etc. But there is one parameter that's arguably most dominant :  LIGHT, specifically SUNLIGHT.  Prof./Podcaster, Andrew Huberman is by far the biggest supporter of this notion on social media. He has repeatedly emphasized the role of SUNLIGHT when it comes to waking up early (& also sleeping early).  According to science, when we are exposed to light of higher intensity there is reduction in melatonin (sleep hormone) & rise of cortisol (hormone during activity). So, better the intensity better th

Concept of Marriage : Getting Clarity through Confusion

Marriage has been a deeply confusing topic from the beginning of civilization. As soon as you hit a certain age, you have to make a decision. A big scary DECISION. Getting married or not ?  Now here I have cited most of the common reasons why people marry. Hope you will agree. But that's not the point of this post.  The point is to get clarity over why we do it. And I think, there is no better way to understand something without questioning the very foundation of what we think to be correct.  So, without further ado, let's dive in & think through some questions, which I believe, are hard but worth pondering over.  Ready.....Steady.....Go. 1) Some do it for physical, mental & emotional fulfilment  Don't you feel fulfilled now ?  How do you know marriage will make you fulfilled ?  Is this fulfilment just an IDEA or a real thing ?   2) Some actually don't need it presently, still do it so that they will have a child who will take care of them in older days  What if
