 All of us at some point must have heard, read or seen interesting tales from Greek mythology. From the toe of Achilles to the myth of Arachne, these tales all have one thing in common. They hold a moral or a lesson at the end. Often hidden through metaphors and interesting analogies, the morals in these myths are deemed special by many due to the fact that the conclusion derived can differ from person to person.  So let’s take a look at a few interesting accounts throughout Greek mythology and attempt to decipher the morals they conceal. 1. King Midas and The Golden Touch  The tale of Midas, a self indulgent king who had an insatiable thirst for luxury, is often regarded as a tale that exhibits the consequences of greed and lust. A short portion of the tale also represents the human mind’s temptation to tattle. As social creatures, interaction is considered vital to growth both emotionally and mentally. And so any means to expedite that interaction with others, we would ...

In such a fast paced world of views, clicks and likes, people have resorted to mocking mental disorders in order to receive validation and sympathy from others. Those people being on the younger spectrum of social media users mostly teenagers. Now that the problem is identified, let’s see where this might have stemmed from. The answer lies in the minds of these tech savvy teens. These likes and views translate to numbers and these numbers are being tied to the teenager’s sense of self worth and image. It is tempting to know that everybody in the room likes you but the reality we often cannot grasp is that it will never happen, it is simply impossible to please everyone in the room and the sooner you realize that the sooner you can be happy with yourself and start respecting yourself. Note that respecting yourself also leaves room for self improvement. Changing yourself for yourself not others. This obsessive tendency to please others leads to teens changing themselves in order to be ac...

Democracy has been thought to be the form of government which has always been striving for equality yet despite what the majority thinks, there have always been skeptics around even at the beginning of the concept’s creation. Famous philosophers were doubtful of this new invention called democracy. Stating it as the form of government where three idiots would have more power over one scholar.  So what would make democracy more equal you ask. Well, the most surface level solution would be to abolish the uneducated from voting. Now, you might think this is unfair but it actually levels the field more than you think. You see taking this step would prevent the rigging of elections to some extent as the uneducated are easily persuaded compared to the educated. It also gives votes more meaning as a whole. Those who vote will have a sense of proper representation of who they are and their rights. In developed countries proper background and stability checks should be regularly conducted c...

 Black Enough: Stories of Being Young and Black in America is a book published on January 8, 2019 and this is significant because given the recent issues of police brutality not only being put on the spotlight in just America but the world and that too on this kind of scale, I am genuinely astonished how not a lot of people are bringing up this book and talking about it.  Coming back to the book, as the title suggests, it’s a compilation of different stories based or inspired from real experiences and instances the authors have faced. Each chapter is a different story and written by a different author focusing on various topics ranging from sexual harassment to code switching and everything in between. So let’s begin to rate and analyze these chapters. Please do note that this is my opinion on the take of the author’s direction. I am not trying to prove or display anything as a fact to anyone. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin!  Half A Moon By Renée Watson ...

With summer holidays   coming to an end, the choice comes knocking at every parent’s door. Should I send my kid back to school? Is this a good step moving forward or something they will regret soon enough. For some this is the question that keeps rattling around their mind all day long which is why we’re going to be taking a look at some of the pros and cons of the situation at hand and assessing for ourselves whether sending children back to school is a good idea after all.  Also do keep in mind that I am listing these pros and cons according to my opinion so do take them with a grain of salt. Pros :-  1). Studying would actually take place This might sound absurd at first but think about it. Online learning offers a variety of distractions ranging from devices to simply walking off in a matter of seconds. Students will have a harder time determining which cushion to choose for their nap rather than settling on the topic to write for an essay.  Given the golden ...

With such fast-paced technology and machine capabilities growing day by day, it’s hard to tell what the future holds for us. While there are plenty of theories out there the most common proposition has to be the Robot theory.  This theory states that Robots integrated with AI will surround us in the years to come. They will overtake, supervise and perhaps even dominate as well as control human beings. While only being a theory, it is definitely intriguing how robots around the world are taking over the jobs that would be carried out traditionally by a human.  A study conducted in 20 19 by the group  Observer concluded that by this decade 200,000 workers will be replaced by robots in the banking industry alone.  While most machines have already taken over the manufacturing industry. Humans are still required to supervise it in case of a malfunction of any sort yet most presume that by the next couple of years a new line of machinery will be built that won’t deman...

 Vanilla Sky is a 2001 movie starring Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz among others. The whole story revolves around a selfish and extremely wealthy man David Aames who on the surface seems to be having the perfect life in New York City until everything in his life gradually turns into hell all after meeting one mysterious stranger and a horrifying car accident.  The movie does a great job confusing you with it’s twists and turns along the plot. The sheer confusion of what is going on is shared well between the viewer as well as David himself. For some, the narrative may be a bit to much to catch up with especially if you aren’t paying attention but for those who did understand what was going on till the very end I guarantee you those people would really enjoy this film for what it is. When it comes to rewatching, personally I don’t rewatch a lot of films but I would recommend rewatching Vanilla Sky because watching a second time will give you a better understanding ...
