Cooling...

I had a weird dream the other day – you know, when I was oversleeping – about someone coming up with a way to re-engineer and re-purpose PC liquid cooling systems for electric vehicles. Perhaps there won't be any accidental flare ups after that. Then again, I just want an e-bike that looks like a moving LED-lit colourfully cooled 'gaming PC', so this was definitely a biased dream.

Deadly...

A man once joked to a woman, "They say 'The female of any species is deadlier than the male'." To this quip, the woman retorted, "That's because some males were annoying enough to make us so." The man completely misunderstood her jest, thought she was flirting with him, and responded in kind. To this the woman, having lost every thread of toleration, punched him in the nose and unintentionally caused the bone to crack and shoot upward, puncturing his brain. Thus did the woman and man end up proving each other's statements. Alas, the lady turned fugitive, and the dude lay dead.

Divided...

When no one listens but everyone wants to blame, then everyone loses and no one will gain.

Complex...

All of us, at some point in our lives, care so much about something that we stop caring about what it will cost to get it. How the human soul can simultaneously care and not care at all is just one of several proofs of how complex we truly are.

Intruding...

The fact that almost everything in Nature wants to kill us is partial proof that we are either prey or intruders. The prey part is understandable, humans being mammalian and all. It's the intruders part that most interests me, because if we truly are intruding… From where are we originally intruding? Predator species on Earth already have plenty of prey species to help ensure balance in any given ecosystem. to all intents and purposes we seem to be, dare i say it, superfluous, excess, and irrelevant to the grand running of things. almost as if we're...visiting. or rather, intruding.

Secretive...

Some people are not born secretive. They just hate the fuss, drama, and attention that is often generated when they are too open with the world. Not being secretive can often lead to a confusing life, one that 'secretive' people justifiably wish to avoid. They are not living a lie, they are merely being selectively truthful. Because the world has people who can't always handle the truth.

Female...

Everyone was shocked and in something of a clamour when Ola Electric announced an all-women team running operations at their dedicated e-bike centre in TamilNadu. But this is not new, it's been done before… By Nature… In a honeybee hive, the worker bees – the ones essential to the very survival of the hive and its exclusively breeding Queen – are all female. Their work directly ensures that other bees go around pollinating flora, thus ensuring the growth and sustainability of hundreds of crops essential to humans and entire ecosystems in general. Speaking of sustaining life, all humans are coded by Nature for the female template. You can see it in the foetus, before the XX chromosome turns XY, the latter begetting a male. This is why all men have nipples, which are more useful on women owing to their bio-ability to feed infants. Males are essentially a 'must-have mutation' responsible for helping Females create genetic diversity and produce stronger more survival-ready children. It is fast being accepted that the 'foundation code' for all life, as dictated by Nature herself, is female. The saying "the future is female" is, in my opinion, a marketing gimmick. Because, technically, the future alone isn't female, it has always been that way since the beginning.

Words...

Words have the power to go where even the most powerful fear to tread.

Blind...

In a world filled with people who deliberately choose to be blind, many a visionary will sometimes find themselves quietly wishing they were blind as well.

Pride...

Pride can be practical. Without feeling proud to some extent, most people wouldn't be able to achieve most things in life.
