Something to think about...

People are not dumb. They are smart. The irony is...

Okay, what am I talking about ?

Let's go out for a walk in the market.

What do you see ?

You see girls.

Now look at all those stalls selling street food. Quite busy stalls.

Can you see the Pizza Hut ?

Let's get a little closer, we have to see something.

Do you see the fat guy holding a gym bag ?

He probably just came after a gym session. Look what he is ordering.

A pizza.

Not JUST a pizza.

A pizza with added cheese & coca cola.

Now see what he will do after getting the pizza box.

He is reading the ingredients & calory content in the box. I told you, people aren't dumb.

Do you see what he found ?

Ofcourse you don't. You are with me & you are watching him from a distance.

No worry. We can google it.

Searched "total calories in a medium sized cheese pizza"

Result "Nearly 2000 calories"

So the guy perhaps lost 400/500 calories in gym & now he is reading that the pizza has 2000 calories.

Now, listen what his friend is telling him while he is reading the box.

"This is the 3rd time in this week you are eating pizza" said his friend.

"This is the last time. It won't happen again" the guy stressed each word he said.

However, if you can read his friend's face you will know that he already knows what will happen in few days.

But he has to go with a promise. A promise, only few days away from being shattered again.

Finally, the (fat) guy has earned the license to enjoy a 2000 calory pizza. I told you, he is smart. He is good with words. He can persuade himself to do anything he wants (ofcourse, if that is pleasing)

Back to pizza.

Watch what happens next.

I am assuming he knows that he needs to lose more calories for losing weight.

Look what he is doing.

He just dumped it inside his mouth with a face full of satisfaction.

Like I said, people are not dumb. They are smart. The irony is, they just ACT dumb.

Anxiety : A Constantly Degrading Gen-Z Problem...

Since the beginning of 2012, a time when smartphones entered Indian market in leaps & bounds, something has changed. This is the time when the early Gen-Zs (born between 1996 to 2001) were in their high-school years, mid Gen-Zs (2003 to 2007) were in their primary-school years & lower Gen-Zs (2008 to 2012) were in their Childhood years. Gone are the times of Nokia, when phones were used for calls, messages, alarm clock & snake games. As time passed phones grew smarter. The design focus shifted from general utility to user experience. Then from user experience to addictive user experience. Powered by cutting edge chips, high end software designs, AI insertion & rigorous software updates smartphones grew from basic to prime to ultra-prime. While this is a boon for a majority of generations, like the millennials, who have the necessary self control to use them with caution, the younger generations (Gen-Zs & lower) had to confront something totally alien....

People-Killing Lightnings of Odisha

As a coastal state Odisha is blessed with a beach. But it has brought it's fair share of adversities too. It's most commonly known adversary being Cyclones, Lightnings have somehow stayed away from public discussion. Part of the reason is that lightnings don't impact an entire geographical area, which somehow leads to lower public awareness. But the thing is they usually don't strike, but when they do, they do it hard. Statistics shows, in Odisha cyclone kills around 60-70 people per year while lightning takes 250-300 lives. All this within a span of 5 months (may to sep). Now guess which state of India is at the top when it comes to lightning count ? It's none other than the beach side state called Odisha. Madhya Pradesh & Jharkhand takes the no 2 & no 3 spot. What's more surprising, 96% of death comes from rural areas. They are mostly farmers, labourers & tribal people. The most fundamental causes of death are : 1) Working in Open agricultural fi...

The Face of Frustration

There is never a time when I have not enjoyed Math. Atleast that was my idea when i was in class 10. Then I came to +2 & faced a chapter called "permutation & combination" which gave me a blow hard enough to snatch my earlier idea. I hated it from top to bottom. Later on I faced "probability" in 2nd year which made me feel even worse. Somehow I was successful in consoling myself that I was still good in math especially in "relation & function" which holds an elite reputation among all chapters. When I joined CET for B-Tech I was in ecstasy because I no longer have to frustrate myself with probability again. But my joy lasted for a year when I came to know that in GATE exam there is rarely a time when a question from probability is not asked. It was hard to digest. Later on I thought joining Made Easy might help. So I did that in 3rd year for a 2 year programme just like most of my classmates did. Did it change anything ? Ofcourse no, other...
