Playground and "Manliness"

No matter which part of the world you are living in, men tend to behave pretty similarly. And to satisfy those keyboard warriors, yes, there are always exceptions. I don't know if there are any studies that were done but it will be interesting to see if there

There's no winning/losing in life

It's not "You win some, you lose some" but "You experience some, you don't experience some" instead. I was reading Gabriel García Márquez's non-fiction book " The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor" which tells

Womb to Womb

It is akin to pretending to feel at home in a stranger's house.

Competing Spouses

It's kind of hard to watch couples competing against , and not with, each other. I know the old adage of salary competition when both partners are working, but the competition can be about anything. Unfortunately, I have noticed that competitiveness nature more in men than women as one

We all are celebrities and all our friends are our fans

Now that the pandemic is almost over, we got back the opportunity to meet others in real life, face to face. Don't confine yourself interacting with others through the internet only. I know it comes off as a very "duh" statement and it is. But over

The Day I Realized I am An A.I

No, this isn't a blog post written by ChatGPT or any other AI bots. This is more of a blog post about the realization and self-awareness of how we are similar to A.I. We had to be, of course; after all, the design of neural network

Cognitive Offload
