There’s a famous quote: “If you put bananas and money in front of monkeys, the monkeys will choose bananas because they don’t know that money can buy a lot of bananas.” Funny? Yes. True? Painfully. But the real punchline is not about monkeys. It’s about human beings. Because if you...
(Part 3 – Final Blog for Nishani.in) Because “moving abroad” is easy to dream about… but expensive to execute. Every Indian who has ever paid heavy taxes, faced pollution, struggled with traffic, or got fed up with corruption has imagined this fantasy at least once: “One day I will leave...
Let’s try an uncomfortable thought experiment. Imagine that all religions in the world vanish overnight. Every religious book. Every temple, mosque, church, synagogue. Every saint, sadhu, priest, monk, guru. Every ritual, prayer, sermon, pilgrimage. What happens the next morning? The sun still rises. The earth still spins. Babies are still...

We obsess over fitness trackers, protein counts, sleep cycles, and productivity hacks. But the mind? The mind is expected to “adjust.” It doesn’t. It records. Every slight. Every swallowed emotion. Every moment you chose silence to keep peace. Over time, the mind becomes a cluttered storeroom of unfinished conversations and...
The world is shocked that Apple borrowed Google’s Gemini. But the truth is far more uncomfortable: This is not the first time Apple has done this. This is the oldest trick in Apple’s playbook.
