Ideas vs Execution

I was watching The Big Bang Theory yesterday and I got to that episode where Leonard and Sheldon argue whether ideas are more important than execution. And this got me wondering as well. Which is more important?? “Ideas without execution are just hallucinations.” -Thomas A. Edison But then again, “No matter what people tell you,

Exams – Dumb or Smart?

My brother and I have our exams going on, so naturally we both are always seen with a book under our noses. We both are fairly responsible when it comes to studies, mostly because academics have always been an essential part in our lives from the very beginning. My brother was about to give a

Close to Burning Out: Creativity on Strike

I haven’t written in quite a while. I blamed it on not having time, but I don’t think that is true. Yes, I am always busy nowadays, but I know how to take out time for myself. No, the reason why I haven’t written anything for such a while is because my head is blocked.

Black&White: Just an Illusion

What is the definition of right? According to Oxford English Dictionary, right means justified or morally good. I don’t know if you noticed, but the dictionary states that the word right is justified. Well, I question, justified according to whom? We all are individuals with individual values and ideas and it’s not possible that EVERY

The Natural State of the Universe & Mind

I was studying thermodynamics for my exam when my 9-year-old brother popped out of nowhere and decided to understand my 16-year old syllabus of physics. Since he was so curious (and because I know how cruel it is when someone says you are too young to understand this), I decided to revise my syllabus by

Monet’s Water Lilies: A Lesson

Water Lilies is the name of a series of work by Claude-Monet. The reason why I love this whole series is because it hides a lesson while keeping it open to all. Isn’t that ineteresting? You can call me a weirdo; instead of appreciating the art displayed, I would always be more interested in the

Winter Is Coming

Snow for hair,His sigil is the wolves’ eyes,His voice, a dance of wind,His soul unveils all your lies. He may seem harsh,He will prepare you for everything,He will wage wars until,You learn to love your own being. He will bring soft showersTo reward your patience,He will cackle with laughterWhen you die for your arrogance. His

Significance of Pyramids

There is an old Arab proverb which claims, “Man fears time, but time fears pyramids.“ This got me thinking. Why does time fear this geometric shape? What is so special about pyramids? Why are these shapes given the honour to be in the 7 Wonders of the World? After searching the internet for answers, making

The Ocean Became The Stage

The leaves were dryAnd the sky was painted,In a golden haze,The world was tinted. The wind was dancing,The leaves were rustling,It was a different silence,One without any human disturbance. Twilight came and trees waited,Night fell and wind started singing,The ocean became the stage,And stars finally started dancing. Flitting through the ocean,The stars danced without a

A Race Against Time

The sun kissed my faceWhile wind whistled past,No one behind me in the race,Am I the one who is last? The question paper in front of me,Filled with questions I have never seen,For answers, my mind comes up blank,Am I the one to be blamed for that? Drained of energy,I just want a break,My brain
