THE UNPRECEDENTED UNKNOWN

 

Philosophy & Science aren't tightly entwined enough that we have collectively missed a key perspective- the big picture that appears at the fullest zoom out. "Unlocking the universe" was an eye-opener that helped me fathom how physicalities, logics and energies intricately control the Universe. How many of us understand the important distinction between anthropocentrism and cosmocentrism? Loads of reminiscence, reflection and epiphanies arrived along the way. I was glad to see pieces of evidence that corroborated how biology was controlled by physics. The microscopic truths applying to a macroscopic world were indeed an astounding revelation. This pushed me to compare and contrast the characteristics of humans with those of stars. Strokes of lightning, Veins of leaves and Nerves on our hands. We do see an undeniable pattern here, don't we? The contents of this mini cosmic encyclopaedia are deftly structured in a coherent chronological order, which undoubtedly is a humongous task when your starting point is the Big Bang. 

Kudos to all the scientists, experts and professors who have shaped this priceless collection through simplistic, well-written and comprehensible contributions and illustrations. They've all created a magical portal to the realm of valuable knowledge. Anyone who wants to press the pedal on the harsh routines of our mundane existence should step into this book and take the wild ride. It has changed something in me for the better.

MOVIE REVIEW- MODIGLIANI

MODIGLIANI (2004) Director: Mick Davis  Starring : Andy García, Elsa Zylberstein, Omid Djalili Biopic of famous Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. The movie is set in Paris in 1919 and takes you on an artistic journey showcasing the life and works of Modigliani. During that era, Modigliani's biggest rival was another world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso. Their competition, self-centric approach and ego project them as mighty contenders and arch-rivals in the field of art. This eventually leads them to face each other in a famous competition that the whole world was waiting for Modigliani Vs Picasso. The works of Modigliani stood the test of time and were celebrated because of the emotions they radiated. To this day, this is being examined. All of Modigliani's works were the manifestation of his own emotions and experiences. This movie beautifully captures the personal story of the artist and closes with a climax that will leave you feeling heavy. Andy Garcia amazingly impers...

I didn't mean to say that...Well..now it's a vibrant bucket of bolts...good!                  THE GRAND GATEWAY!   It's hard for me to not keep thinking about our old watchman. Sharp at 8:45 these huge pair of gates would be closed.There would be a little door too...for other people to enter..and the notice board that you see right there always captivated us during monsoons....we'd wait for some holiday notes to be written so we could run back home. Emails or Phones or WhatsApp didn't exist then. Though these gates did scare us a few times...it very well taugh...
