One of my friends recently asked me about the folklore of Cattanar after watching a new Malayalam thriller starring Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen. Without giving away spoilers, let me share the traditional story of Kadamattathu Kathanar, which may or may not be the same as what is shown in the movie. Kadamattathu Kathanar, also known…

I once took leave from work, but my colleague pushed me to return early. Months later, he fell ill — and I asked him to return early. His comeback? “What happened to your kindness preach?” ChatGPT called this an ethical symmetry trap — when fairness/reciprocity collides with kindness/moral consistency. It’s not right vs wrong, but value vs value, and the tension is pure cognitive dissonance. The AI even gave me a one-line test for next time: > If this were reversed tomorrow, would I want my present choice to be the rule?

Once upon a time in a quaint village, there lived a man named Raju, known far and wide for his laziness. Despite his endearing nature, his indolence often led him into amusing, if not absurd, situations. One evening, Raju was sewing a button on his shirt when he dropped his needle in a dimly lit…

How did I spend the last month for preparation for NEET SS exams? Few helpful tips.

In a world where death was no longer inevitable, humanity had achieved something that had been thought impossible for centuries. The greatest minds of their time had finally found a way to conquer death, to extend life indefinitely, by transferring human consciousness into digital form. It was a breakthrough that had revolutionized the world, and had given birth to a new era of immortality. Sophia was one of the first to undergo the process. She had been dying of a rare disease, and had no hope of survival. But thanks to Immortality Inc., a company that specialized in digital consciousness transfer, Sophia was given a second chance at life. Her consciousness was uploaded into a digital network, where she would live on in perpetuity, free from the constraints of her physical body.

And so, humanity continued to evolve, always searching for new ways to improve our lives. The virtual world was just one small part of that journey, a reminder of how far we had come and how much more we still had to learn.

Here is my review of RRR, and spoiler alert: I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the film moved me physically and emotionally.

I was wondering what AI thinks of itself and whether it can write an article about itself. So I asked ChatGPT to write an article on Artificial Intelligence.

As an international medical graduate (IMG), completing an elective, observership, or externship in the US can be a valuable experience for your medical residency application. Not only will it allow you to gain exposure to the US healthcare system, but it can also provide opportunities for networking and potential residency program connections. At least three…

Residency Training in India vs. the US: What Makes Them Different As a medical student in India, the decision was neither easy nor immediate when faced with the choice of pursuing a residency in India vs. abroad.

While Artificial Intelligence will change the labor market, it will not take away people’s jobs. Instead, it will reshape the future of work and require people to integrate AI into their work.

There are several reasons why international medical graduates (IMGs) choose to migrate to the US for their residency training. The US is home to some of the world’s leading medical institutions and offers a wide range of specialties, making it an attractive destination for IMGs seeking to advance their careers. However, the process of securing a residency position in the US can be challenging, especially for IMGs. I wanted to share my experiences and lay a step-by-step manual for someone looking to pursue their residency training in the US.

The residency interview is an opportunity for the applicants to showcase their skills, knowledge, and personality to the program directors and faculty as part of the residency selection process. Following these tips can increase your chances of success during the residency application and interview season.

Every year, 38.6% of US citizen IMGs and 41.9% of non-US citizen IMGs fail to match into any specialty for residency. If you did not match into residency, it is natural to find yourself stranded, not knowing what to do next.

Life is all about choices. Hard choices. Choices we have to make at some point, no matter what. Choices upon which the fate of our lives depends on.

Our society and culture discourage women to excel and move ahead professionally. It takes me years to understand but I am thankful that I finally can. Having grown in a relatively evolved family, thankfully with no brothers, I felt I had not seen discrimination for women. Retrospectively I realize it was ‘conditioning’ or ‘normalizing’ which…

The thing about small towns and places is the repetitiveness of their daily life.

Ankidroid is a flash cards app that I have probably used the most for my NEET PG preparation. For those who are not familiar with flashcards, a flashcard is a card bearing information, as words or numbers, on either or both sides, used for revising and memorizing. One writes a question on one side and an answer overleaf. There are a lot of flashcard apps available in the play store and you can use any of them. Now this app is based on the principle of spaced repetition for revision. You can make your own flashcards in the app(so this app is of better use if you start a bit early). These flashcards are then repeated in the app on particular time intervals.

I look down and I don’t recognize myself; I tried to push my legs to go faster; but I guess theirs was faster than mine; Pushed to the wall of a filthy building; All I heard was ripples; I knew I’ve been caught; I could not register what was happening again; Grunts, painful moans of pleasure; Their hormones was saying yes, mine said no; After getting satisfied, they push and go; But I’m left to pick the pieces, but they left with one thing; and that was my pride;

The moon was glistening tonight, the first time in awhile. I look out onto the water as I sit on the cliff’s edge, the crickets seem to be humming a new tune tonight, faster, more exciting than usual. Behind me, I could hear the rustling of bushes. He’s here, I thought to myself as I turn…

Do you see us when we cry? When we try to hide our faces in the sand? have you ever thought it through, That these people might be hurt too; Do we seem like we do not have pain receptors in us? Nay, we are born out of bone and blood; We also feel the same pain you do; Only that the would sees us as weak and your strong when we show it Do we seem like goats; We do not need to be told; “You are a man, be one”; Will you tell these words to my boy when I am gone?; Of course, I am a boy!; Is that a curse?; Can I not feel hurt as well?; Or will you only notice my tears when I drown in the well

People write it as Cinque Terre and call it as ‘Chin-Kway Tey-re’ and it looks out of the world, though it is on the edge of the world.

We all face it. Some of us are more open about it, and some of us keep it to ourselves. Nevertheless, at some point in our lives, we’ve all dealt with social media insecurity. It’s a challenge to not compare ourselves to role models or even friends who post amazing things on their Facebook or Instagram timeline. They’re off doing something spectacular, and you? You’re just scrolling through your feed beginning to evaluate your own life and wondering if you’ll ever have a life like theirs. Some of us shrug off this insecurity quickly, but others can’t do so easily.

We all know Instagram pictures don’t look the way they do without some behind-the-scenes work. I mean come on, when was the last time you took a picture and didn’t at least use some sort of edit? However, there are two types of people out there making mistakes – those who overdo the edits and…

The New York University and the city are places where people from all over the world can be seen. It is a mini world where everyone feels themselves as individuals and as part of whole. It’s a place where creativity is welcome in every form conceived. The tourist feels at home and the locals seem to be on the move. The young and not so young are the only distinctions of age.

Iowa a small town in USA is regarded as literary capital of the world and rightfully so. It has people reading and writing or involved in intellectual discourse all the time and everywhere. To be in that geographical location was a feast to the mind and soul. It was a vacation I had never expected. Impulse to sketch, something I had not done for decades overpowered me and I felt a ‘high’ of a sort which was my own. It was the moment of rediscovering and falling in love with oneself. Indulgence to read whatever one desired for as long as one preferred was a reality.

Literature festivals are full of accomplished, acclaimed and awarded people, some eccentric beyond our wildest imagination and some gracefully grounded. Their intensity and grade of intellect makes them win our approval without hesitation. There were intensive sessions for 12 hours each day and yet we did not seem to have enough. Some sessions we sat cross legged on cold stone floor in Rajasthan cold weather, with pleasure, when no chairs were available. Diggi palace, the venue for the Fair, had six places where six sessions would continue simultaneously like the Front lawns, Baithak, Samvad, Mughal court, Darbar Hall. It was a literary interactive conference quite like and yet unlike Mumbai Lit Live or Bookaro festival at Delhi.

Here is the music review of Shamitabh, the sound track album for the Amitabh Bachchan – Dhanush – Akshara Haasan starrer. Expectations were high, because the album is composed by Ilayaraja, the four times national award winning 72 years old music director.
