One plus two equals… Huh?
‘In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.’ – Fran Lebowitz. What if randomly and out of the blue, a person was overheard saying that, “In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as addition.” Of course, they would be ridiculed and scoffed at. Similarly, even though
The Downside

“It is better to be without logic than to be without feelings.” – Charlotte Bronte

If Bill Has 17 Peaches, How Many Of My Classmates Are Still Starving?
For the third day in a row, our college algebra teacher drones on about the functions of a graphing calculator. He hesitates as he moves from step to step, as if any of us are paying careful attention to the dozens of ways to solve for the invaluable solution of ‘x’, using a machine that
Before the Bull runs into the Girl
The heated confrontation in the New York’s Wall Street’s arena looks interesting but somewhat unfair; the Fearless Girl, who faces the gigantic Charging Bull, is not even the square root of his size. This looks insane, but all madness ever, had a fierce motive behind it. So definitely, here too, is an agenda. Feminism- that’s
Get What You Should Have Had

Like Pearls on a String
It has been said that the best changes in life are the ones that awaken the soul and make us reach for more, that plant a fire in our hearts and bring peace to our minds. Never had that been more true to me than in the time of my parents divorce. I was only
Let Me Be A Girl, Not A Bride
Imagine if your parents mentioned marriage to you when you barely knew what marriage meant. Imagine if they called you a burden, told you to forget school, tore you apart from your family and allowed a man three times your age to lay his hands on you. Like a lamb to the slaughter, you’re dolled
Jobs said it best
Steve Jobs had an innovative mind that was beyond his time. Not only did he create technology that many people cannot live or function without, but he departed from this world leaving behind many important words of wisdom. In these days, when everyone has the same store-bought clothes and manufactured phones, a person’s inner voice,
Listen and Trust Your Inner Voice
As a young boy, his teachers said he was too stupid to learn anything. As an employee, he was fired from his first two jobs on the basis of being “unproductive”. As an inventor, he made one thousand unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When asked by a reporter how it felt to fail

What is this X?
My youngest uncle is unemployed. He has been searching for a job since he graduated from the university in 2015, and I have heard my father complaining that the recruitment agencies and employers are wicked people. “They do not want the poor to see light at all”, he had said three weeks ago. ” How
Ink In My Veins
Tattoos are becoming a popular phenomenon that is seen everywhere. Today’s youth are getting permanent tattoos to become cool and trendy but these are not just pretty pictures. For some, tattoos may be art but, for me, a tattoo is a mark that shows who you really are. Growing up, my parents always said that

As humans we have a strong tendency to put our needs first; we always look for what benefits us. Ultimately this psychological mindset has
