Half Written Poem
” Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary” — Dead Poets Society. So many unsaid things on the tip of my tongue but something are better left unsaid; I never told you, but I was falling in love I will not say it was never meant to be because I believed it… Continue reading

Terms and conditions of Dharma
The Ones We Call Good I recently found out that my ritual name, the one written on my cheena when I was born, begins with ए. Not the name I grew up with, but the one chosen by my nakshatra, the letter the stars supposedly assigned me. I started going through names that begin with… Continue reading

Nobody Has to Be Evil
It was close to midnight in Sunnyside, and the bodega under the 7 tracks was doing what bodegas do best: staying open. The man ahead of me bought a six pack and a pack of Newports. The woman behind me was holding three lottery tickets like a small prayer. The cat was asleep on the… Continue reading

The First Laboratory
There is a principle in forensic training that every investigator learns before almost anything else. The crime scene is the first laboratory. Whatever truth exists about what happened is written into the ground, the objects, the body, in the minutes and hours after the event, and it degrades a little more with every hour that… Continue reading

The Shape We Stopped Questioning
I live in New York, a city where everybody is moving forward, always building, always adding another floor to the skyline. And somewhere in the middle of all that motion, a thought stopped me. Every building I pass, the offices, the towers, the apartment blocks, they are all the same shape. Square. Rectangular. Flat. One… Continue reading

The Nine and the Needle
I did not start this looking for God. I started it with a notebook, a red pen, and a question that would not leave me alone: why does the number nine keep showing up. It began small. I was playing with digital roots, that old trick of adding the digits of a number until only… Continue reading

The Tiger Never Asked
There is a moment in almost every long conversation where you find yourself standing at the edge of two truths that both feel correct, and you have to figure out which one is doing the real work and which one is just borrowed comfort. I had one of those conversations recently, the kind that started… Continue reading

The Dirty Bottle
What a stranger in a liquor store taught me about originality I wasn’t supposed to learn anything that day. I was just there. My friend needed wine for a birthday, I had nothing better to do, so I tagged along. A liquor store on a Saturday. The last place you’d expect your thinking to shift.… Continue reading

What If Something Is Watching?
A Crab, an Eel, and the Question I Cannot Stop Thinking About I was scrolling through my phone when I came across a video. A crab, small and determined, was sprinting across a beach trying to reach the water. Behind it, a massive eel was closing in fast. For a moment, it actually looked like… Continue reading

why I refuse to Fear AI
philosophy. Technology. Cinema I watched a film called Upgrade recently. A man loses everything, his wife, his body, his freedom. An AI chip called STEM is implanted into his spine and gives him back the ability to move, fight, survive. By the end, STEM has taken over completely. The man is gone. The machine won.… Continue reading

Entropy: Why Everything Falls Apart and Why That Is the Most Important Truth You Will Ever Accept
There is a law in the universe that no one taught you in school but that governs almost everything you experience. It does not care about your plans, your intentions, or how hard you worked to build something. It operates silently, consistently, and without exception. It is called entropy, and at its simplest, it means… Continue reading

Why Do Good People Die Early and the Bad Seem to Live Forever?
I have been thinking about this question for a while now. And I do not think I am the first person to ask it. In fact, I think it might be one of the oldest questions a human being can carry inside them. We watch people who give everything, who love honestly, who work quietly… Continue reading

The Animal We Decided to Hate
There is something fascinating about the rat. Not because it is exotic. Not because it is beautiful by conventional standards. But because of the intensity of human emotion attached to it. Few creatures trigger such immediate discomfort. A brief glimpse in a subway tunnel, a sudden movement near a trash bag, and the reaction is… Continue reading
