Thank you for this amazing opportunity! I'm delighted to be a part of this journey and honored to be featured. Also had a blast of a time writing the satire piece as well!
In our world, the shadows are never black...
This is something every artist comes to know eventually and a lot of beginners do not grasp when they start. Beautiful painting, Partho Roy.
Loved the article anent vitamin C! Like everyone else, I knew without vitamin c you get scurvy and sour fruits are good for you but how does it really work—never knew the details of it. Thanks, doc, for the insightful yet comprehensible input.
There is no reason to think this lack of Vitamin C storage is an inherent flaw.
I wouldn't mind if you thought it was a flaw, after all, we took ourselves off the natural selection train. We're now on our own.
Loved the stunning photos by Rehan. Never been to the tea gardens- something I've been planning for quite a while.
do not like blood, snakes, ugly looking bugs and even colorful caterpillars. Things like those always send a chill down my spine, causes cold sweats during a sudden mania of fright. Still, I do not fear death. I know that all of this might readout like the manifesto of an idiot maniac
Actually you're not alone in this and I don't think it is nonsensical at all. I have similar thoughts regarding basic instincts and I don't fear death in a traditional sense as well. But I do fear it—very very much—when I realize I won't be around and the world will move on. I fear going away before I make a dent in history. I know these fears are often baseless as dying will be the end of me and my consciousness will fade away but I can't help it.
