Stream of Consciousness

One Week In
First of all, let me start this article by mentioning the catastrophic happenstance of the California fires, devastating almost everything there is to love about LA!!! All the beachside Malibu houses framing the PCH, charred. Celeb homes, gone. The fires are still ablaze, it's been three days and counting. Heading to Brentwood as we speak... It's almost as if the fire chose the most expensive parts of town but somehow spared Hollywood. I don't think any stages (film sets) have succumbed to the fires as of today. I hope that whoever is planning to make this into a movie, gets all the real life footage now of the worse fire in all of California's history. It almost feels unreal but to the people who lost their entire lives work it's so, so real. Houses are NOT cheap in LA!

Prism of Dreams
Caroline’s life was a precise combination of her fixed routines and aspirations. At age 29, she was a data analyst with a secure reputable job at a mid-sized software organization. She was living alone in a small, tidy apartment in the heart of the city. Her days were filled with algorithms, ppts and spreadsheets, and her evenings with Movies, Netflix and takeouts. There was no room for creativeness or wonder— her lifestyle was like comforting cadence of predictability. Yet, behind her composed personality, Caroline concealed a dream that skipped just beyond her reach—a dream that sparkled with colours she couldn’t quite define. Caroline was an intelligent woman with high IQ and elegance, with dark brown hair that fell in soft waves around her face. Her deep blue eyes, often hidden behind a pair of modest glasses, held a quiet intensity that seemed to reflect her inner world.

McFlurries and Life Lessons
I was a freshly-turned eleven-year-old, brimming with the excitement of summer break. As part of the “gifted program” i was a member of in school, the beginning of my summer break included a week long learning experience that was unlike a typical school week. It was basically like a week long excursion of field trips, newfound friends, and interactive learning opportunities. I looked forward to this yearly experience, as it was always sure to provide many wonderful memories.

The Lost Art of Doing Nothing
I love being idle. Staring at the sky, the wall, or absolutely nothing used to be my thing. Keeping life simple was my way of living. And let me tell you, some of my best thoughts zoomed through my head during those glorious boredom phases. That is when your mind is still, free from worries, and suddenly you are solving life's mysteries or at least deciding what is for dinner.

The Happiness Treadmill: Why We Keep Chasing What We Already Have
Ever get that new gadget, land that promotion, or achieve a long-sought-after goal, only to find the initial excitement fading faster than you'd like? It's not just you. It's a common human experience, and psychology has a name for it: the hedonic treadmill. This concept suggests that regardless of what happens to us—whether it's a stroke of good fortune or a difficult setback—we tend to return to a relatively stable baseline level of happiness. It's like we're constantly running on a treadmill, putting in effort but staying in the same place when it comes to long-term happiness. Let's explore why this happens and, more importantly, what we can do about it.

Rewriting the Script: Women's Voices in Modern Media and Beyond
Introduction Let’s take a moment to imagine a world where female’s voices weren’t part of the media. The testimonies we see, the emotions we sense, and the views we come upon might be painfully restricted. Women have usually been effective storytellers, yet for ways too lengthy, their voices have been overshadowed, boxed into stereotypes, or absolutely silenced. Today, we’re witnessing a monumental shift. Women are rewriting the script—no longer just in the media, however throughout all sides of life.

The Search For Truth
The world that we live in, has become so seemingly indoctrinated into thinking that in order to be successful, you need to have all the material possessions that go along with what has been touted as a successful and well lived life. I have always been the type of man that lives my life in a way that places more importance on my inner world, than I do on the external environment, and what I mean by this is that in order for me to fully function in a harmonious way in the world in which we live, I must feel ok in my own body.
