Meaning, or Lack Thereof

  Courtesy: Time Holocaust:~11 million deaths(outlier because well it went on for more than 5 years in times of war) Iraq war:~600,000 deaths Al Qaeda at its height:~800,000 deaths COVID-19 Pandemic:~1.7 million deaths Seems pretty right that you were "rewarded" with a red cross, 2020. As we all wave goodbye to you, during your last 2 days of existence, let me deliver your "eulogy" of sorts: Thank you for coming to this part of the Internet to celebrate the life and, why not say it, death of 2020. I remember her childhood, January when we all were filled with hopes of a great new decade. I wanted to make this year the most cherished year of my childhood, my junior year in high school and sweet 16! None could have thought what happened to her two months down the line, the most cherished months of spring, even though humanity's medicine had progressed since we last left her relatives, a 100 years ago. She, one of the chosen leap years, would've hosted the Summ...

It's the Christmas Eve today, and winter feels like I am still in February and not December , yet the calendar and computer refuse to say so. We will all be entering the year 12 , 021  (Let's hope it's gonna be a bit less exciting/boring than 12,020), the beginning of my final year in school, and my (at least partly) entry into adulting!  Right now, I am engrossed in prepping for some of the tests that have the power to influence the trajectory of my life (JEE, KVPY, IOQP, NTSE-II) and thus I prefer to refrain myself from enjoying the festive mood. However, I wish y'all a really Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Je vous souhaite à tous un très joyeux Nöel et une très bonne année!

  Not so long ago, during my 14th year of existence, I thought this was rubbish, how can life possibly speed up? Obviously, it must be some kind of adult joke which I can't possibly understand. Yet, even in this sentence, I find for myself that, yeah, "time" does fly fast. It has been three years since I shifted to this huge city, whose innards I have yet to visit, two years since I went to Earth Science Olympiad camp and almost a year since COVID-19 has transformed our lives for at least another year to come (Stay safe and wear a mask, GET VACCINATED!!!) (Future Samyak:<digression>) Yet, I almost always think of myself as that middle school kid in the small town of Jammu, who used to boast about being the smart guy and winning all the non-sports competitions in the town.  In short, "hot and happening"! My position on the Dunning Kruger graph for Life and other HS topics This attitude, due to being a large fish in a small pond, was all but destroyed when I...

I am at my desk, wondering about existentialism in the setting of post-war Europe and the debate between realism and spirituality in the context of visual art. All of this to say that I am preparing for my English test. Yikes! when did I become so mismanaged?! Part of the reason why I chose to pursue Science over my exceedingly diverse HASS interests was that in Science, I have a deep satisfaction that there exists a correct answer to any meaningful question that you can ask, it's secondary whether I or the human race as a whole would ever be able to find those answers. Right now, I still am wondering whether it is better to be real or take into account the "spiritual" aspect. Heck! what even is spirituality or God? Isn't it just a human construct to take our minds off of inevitable death? Aren't minds just a collection of a humongous number of atoms and the chemical interactions between them, while it as a whole perceives itself to have "free will"? I w...

This is my very first blog post and thus I would name it Hello World, submitting to clichéness.  I am really, REALLY irregular but expect me to supplement this venture with 1 post a month(with a probability of 1/4)¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyways!  My range of interests includes all the 43 orders of magnitude(partly because I aspire to be a physicist!) ranging from quantum phenomena and astronomy to history and music with biochemistry, tech and philosophy thrown in.  The idea of writing a blog came to me rather impulsively. I need to write a ton of essays this season and the next year too. So hear me out as I try to improve my writing skills(and commit fewer typos!) while you read my shitposts until a certain period of time! As I document the next few years in this blog which would remain saved till the end of usable energy in the universe, in the form of 0's and 1's on the Internet, I hope some of you will take interest in a literal Bildungsroman  of a high school student! Au revo...
