Simple Chicken Recipe

Image
  This particular post might be literally off topic and off my usual writing style, but here goes something new. Over the past 6 months I've been by myself, literally and have found a new love - cooking. There's so much in it, that it is more often than not overlooked, and cooking has always been stereotyped to be a female's role, and in my perspective it is a life skill that everyone should know. So here I am to help all those in need with a simple chicken recipe. Believe it or not chicken is one of the most easiest dishes to cook. Things you'll need - Chicken breasts / fillet , salt, chili powder, garam masala, tomato ketchup and soy sauce and any cooking oil of your choice. First slice the cleaned chicken into bite sized thin strips, coat the pan with some cooking oil and wait for it to get hot, once the oil is hot enough gently place the chicken and you'll notice it will start releasing all the fat. Add enough salt and mix it properly and you'll notice it...

Consciousness, An Awesome Mystery - 1

Image
If you're like most people, you probably take your consciousness for granted, using it to think, feel, and experience the world around you on a daily basis. But have you ever stopped to think about just how strange and mysterious consciousness really is? How did you feel when you became aware of your consciousness for the first time?  Think about it: you are a collection of atoms and molecules, held together by the laws of physics and chemistry, yet somehow you are able to experience the world in a way that is deeply personal and subjective. How is it that your brain is able to create this rich and varied experience of reality? Let's see what's really the consciousness. Consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, and yet it remains one of the most mysterious and poorly understood phenomena in science and philosophy. What is consciousness, and how does it arise in the brain? These are questions that have puzzled scientists and philosophers for centuries, a...

The gift of eternal despair - TIME

Image
 Imagine this, you're in your death bed inching close to your well predicted death , one where you know when you'd be leaving to the uncanny other side. You'd be filled with remorse and a sudden hope for any miracle that all this is nothing but a hyper realistic dream and you'd be having more time. Time that you wished you had ,the time that caused your tumor to develop in the first place ,the time that has been scripting your life until now. The time that is pulling us closer to our inevitable end. If it is time that'll end everything why is it that we crave so much , so much of something that we know is destined to be cause of downfall of everything. Heed to what follows and you'll have your answer. Time is native to a planet and is different for different planets, and there will be no time , in a place of void , devoid of any gravity and any stars(sun) ( hypothesis) . Life in earth is designed with sun at its apex and all around it(also literally) . Thus , li...

Is time immortal ??

Image
We all know that time is an integral part of the equation that decides life on earth. Not only life for the living but for everything from, by and on earth. Every noun that the human vocabulary ever defined, is based off time, even  god. Earth is destined to an inevitable end of some sort which will render the planet useless for life thus destroying everything, so it is evident that there is a certain end and we all are mortals, but what if we become immortal and is it even possible???, well, find out for yourself I stated that, even god is based of time and even "GOD '' has an end.  A woman becomes a mother when she gives birth to a child and it is not the other way around, even though a mother is the one who creates the child, it is the child that bestows the role of a mother onto that woman. Similarly according to beliefs (I'm not much into religion ) it was god who created humans and all that, that  breathes. This means that we are the ones who made God ," God...

The perception paradox

Image
 Imagine, you are laying in a green plush field full of dew ridden grass. With your eyes gazing the beautiful twilight. With no noise but the sound of birds chirping and the natural sound of beetles in the distance with a faint smell of fresh lilies in the air around you . Quite a sight to behold and the apt place to calm your nerves. But what if I tell you, the pale tinge of blue and purple you perceive is not what another person sees and he sees grey instead. What if the faint smell of flowing lilies smells different as they perceive it differently. How does one come to such an absurd conclusion. Well ,you'll be the judge of it in the end. The first question is, is color the property of an object or, is it a property of your brain the perceives a specific frequency to the corresponding color. We all know that light is nothing but Electro magnetic waves, thus each object being unique has its own characteristic frequency. Now, is it because that the object itself is of that color t...

Do we really have a free will??

Image
 This question is something every human should address for themselves. Are we really the masters of our fate?? or are we merely playing a pivotal role designated for us?? Most the engineers of this generation would agree with this statement that they were left with no choice but to pursue engineering. Well you could argue that the other major profession , medicine needs passion, but do you really think it wasn't imprinted onto your mind??, that you weren't influenced when you were a mere kid about the concept of profession and given glimpses of "that" profession??, no one will remember if it even occurred. That's how this works. Mostly the society is the X factor but still, how can one come to this conclusion of you not having your say in your life, this passage will try to create another such "imprints" for you to ponder upon. We didn't choose for ourselves to be born, to be born into this family , this society , we don't know and won't know...

What if we had it all ??

Image
What if we had it all ?? the first time you hear this you're left quite intrigued and clueless and a sudden feeling of incompleteness takes over. The answer to this question is quite simple and is only limited by our needs our desires and our goals, but that doesn't answer the question of what is  " all"?? , what context does "all" mean in this statement? as I told before it reflects all that we desire and aim to achieve in this human life entrust upon us. Quite confusing isn't it, everyone has their own version of philosophy and logic, by the end of this passage I'll help you find your view on this and create your own version of this. For us to define the term "all" , we need to address the fundamental question of the human presence in this world , the reason for human existence and the reason for all this beautiful chaos to exist. That's something that we'll never know for until we are mortals and that answer might be...

Mid life existential crisis

Image
We as humans are naturally bound to face changing emotions and feelings based on the situations we face. These were nothing but distress signals that ensured our survival in the distant past of the humans when survival was our only goal, and the rest were of concern. But hey, all these emotions you feel today is the trade off that we made in exchange for all these modern utopia , that is gradually turning into chaos. It is very rare that young kids feel any sort of complex emotions, given the fact that they merely try to do what they are told. It is only when people grow that puberty hits them hard, with them starting to feel complex and mind boggling emotions that are quite hard to express.  It is quite obvious that by now you would've come across a poster quoting a Bruce lee saying " you've to master your feelings", man if all the people had the capacity to do so it will be just another boring world with not much to do but wait for our inevitable death in the forese...

Dua(e)l Axis Steering

Image
          During every race weekend, Formula One fans will be shouting and screaming like anything to the real-life drama happening on the track and in the pit lanes. But F1 2020 season exceedingly rued the fans, as most of the Grand Prix canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic and the confirmation of Sebastian Vettel leaving Ferrari after 2020. After the protracted winter break, F1 2020 season kicked off with a substantial drama at the end of free practice 2 of the Austrian Grand Prix. Red Bull had lodged an official protest against Mercedes’ DAS system, as it is alleged to breach two specific technical regulations. One is “no adjustment may be made to any suspension system while the car is in motion ” and another regarding aerodynamic influence.            Besides being a huge Tifosi of Scuderia Ferrari, I’m here to explain Mercedes’ innovation, the Dual Axis Steering System. Since it is a pure engineering marvel. Mercedes Pe...

Boycott Chinese Products: A Good Idea?

    It’s a mournful day for the entire nation as the Indian Army confirmed the death of twenty personnel in violent clashes with Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control(LAC) in Ladakh. For the past few days amidst the border tensions between our neighboring countries and the fight against COVID-19, we must have come across some messages asking us to boycott Chinese apps and products. It may be a Whatsapp forward or a tweet with hashtags (#BoycottChineseApps & #BoycottChineseProducts) simply asking us to get rid of Chinese apps and products from our life, in order to show our solidarity with Indian Army. Now, does it make any sense? Will deleting few apps and boycotting goods really maim China and help India?        Many popular Chinese apps are being used in India like Tik Tok, Pubg, ShareIt, and Helo, etc., which boasts their millions of downloads among the Indian demographic population. It is quite rude to say that nowadays there is no gi...
