The answer is an absolute yes… For the last couple of days, I have been reading this insane book called “What if”, by Randall Munroe. The book deals with serious answers for questions like “How many arrows need to be shot to blot the sun as it happens in the 300 movie?”, or “How fast you have to stir your tea to increase its temperature?”, or “If...

This principle is one of the most and least intuitive things that we do or at least ought to do. We all do this in places where we should not and not in places we ought to. And there is not much science to it. Most decisions we make do not come under the purview of science and rationality. But it involves a systematic process, and an almost sure result makes it has some commonalities with science,...

“Measure what matters” is the name of a very popular business book written by John Doerr which talks about using the right data points and metrics to evaluate how well the company is performing. This concept was first introduced back in the ’70s by Andrew Grove of Intel. The crux is about bringing everything to a single number. This article is not about business but specifical...

This article is largely inspired by a YouTube video that I came across a few months back. It is about an eye-opening research, and the riddle is the research. Let’s start. It is world war 2. The Allied and the Axis powers are building tens of thousands of warplanes each. America’s Columbia University is researching how to make better and stronger warplanes to beat Germany. As part o...

I had been and car person for a long time – if you knew me, I would have been one of the most car fanatical people you have met - but, it has long subsided now. If you are a car person, you just have that blinding love for those four-wheeled machines and it would almost be like buying your favorite car is kind ah like your life’s ambition. As I said earlier, I am over that phase now an...

I have been in Bangalore for the past few months, and I was really in awe of the cultural melting pot it is. You can find people literally from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, and Gujarat to Assam. But I am literally seeing a language going to the ruins with my own eyes, or should I say ears. It is never a good thing. And I am not entirely convinced that it is some kind of a BJP conspiracy. Languages a...

Ever wondered why everyone you know is a goddamn engineer, at least by education. I have been wondering for a long time. If everyone is an engineer, then what’s the point. There are times when I was wondering whether I am an engineer myself. A capitalistic society thrives based on the balance of different goods and services produced by people. I know that’s true, that’s why I bel...

If you haven’t guessed it yet, I am talking about Doctors. This might seem like not the right time for this, with everything going on with "You know what". People are, now more than ever, seeing doctors as gods. But I am more rational than I am emotional. This article is more like an extension of my previous article. But you might think about what connects socialism and the Me...

A few months back, I had a lengthy argument with a close friend of mine. It was about communism and capitalism, and I was on the pro-capitalist side. I wanted to write this article since then, but I thought I better really understand both of them in the first place. Now I think I am in a better place to write this article than I was a few months back. I was quite surprised to find out that most, i...
