Who is dumb ?

It was mid 2020 and the time of elections had come , there were two contestants running for the same. Lets name them x and y. So one fine day x claimed that y is influencing other people's decisions and in return y stated that people are not aware of the complete picture ( i am just enlightening them) , even if they are aware then also if given options they would tend to act emotionally or rather impulsively . So x strengthened his/her claim by arguing that who is y to declare people impulsive , he has no right to judge people and people can make their own choices , he shouldn't try to enlighten them with what he thinks is right .

Do we really need eyes to see?

What is it that makes us perceive this world, guessed it right ,the brain. Probably the most mysterious part of our body , as complex as it gets. Turns out brain has an ability of making sense of data thrown at it. Our eyes are responsible for converting visual data in form of signals to feed it into the brain. Which slowly learns to make sense of it. How exactly it does that is still a mystery. What if those visual signals may be passed to brain in some other way, Formally called sensory substitution. It can be through skin , ear , nose , even tongue or how about providing visual data to brain directly. One such example is Brainport in which pixel data is transmitted in form of electric pulses through a persons tongue.Sounds pretty cool to me. So what is the point. The thing is what we feel as real is mostly in our head really being just matter and energy, how brain makes sense of it is remarkable. We possess such an amazing machine so why just rely on the sensory information that we ...

My story of getting into IIT , The secret to achieve all your goals.

Ever wonder why you don't feel like doing what you wish to do. You can certainly feel a lack of conscious control in such situations. What is happening after all why can't you control your actions.  As we all know our actions are governed by our brain , but it has two subdivisions one which we can access consciously and the other which is deeply hidden away from our consciousness. Yeah this subconscious mind is responsible for almost 95% of our brain controlling most of actions. It never sleeps works around the clock making sure our body functions properly. Ever thought how you read , speak , write , drive , walk , stand, hold a cup while having your caffeine etc so effortlessly without worrying about anything, its subconscious behind the scenes which makes it possible. Essentially it is what we are and our very lives depend on what our subconscious is doing.  We are survival machines and our brain mechanisms have evolved through evolution and they are programmed to do what th...
