Life: Unpredictably Ironic!

Platform no. 9.
Crowded as hell. No space for an ant to move. A young girl in her teens. Fair skin and lovely hair. 

"Man! The trains are late today."
"Seriously, what is wrong with these people?!"
"Bitch! Stop moving! There's no place!"
"Oh good lord, stop pushing me! I'll fall off the platform."
"I swear, I'm never coming by train again."

An announcement that the trains shall be even more late and the growing crowd. Breathing peacefully becomes an issue.

Chaos all around. And, a text message.

"I love you, beautiful. You're the best thing that has happened to me! You complete me. Thank you for being with me. I don't know what I'll do without you! You bring meaning to my life."

Beauty had found solace amidst the mayhem. 

Well, life can't always be fair, right?

*booooom*

A bomb blast.

Beauty, solace and love were all short-lived.

The Imbecility Of Indian Daily Soaps!

        Remember the times, when you used to sit in front of that old CRT Television set, back in your childhood, watching Cartoon Network! Pokemon, Swat Kats, Dexter's Laboratory, Scooby Dooby! Those good times! And suddenly your utopia is interrupted abruptly when Mom snatches the remote from you and tells you to go and study, while she can catch up with the latest crap happening on "Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi". Yeah. You might well remember that dumbass show which ran for nearly a decade, I guess.          I've some odd memories about that show, like there was this one episode in it when the lead protagonist of the show, named Tulsi, shoots her own son. Everything, almost everything, from she pulling the trigger, to the bullet releasing itself from the gun, to the bullet penetrating the guy's chest. Everything was in monochrome and slow motion kind of shit. The most funny part was, even after the bullet had stuck him, the guy was hanging in air for like

Between Artificial Intelligence and Humanity

Rest in peace, you genius. (Pic Source: http://www.risefeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/tumblr_n57nzzgZwf1tash9io1_500.jpg) Just the other day I was having a conversation with my friend on the topic of artificial intelligence. He is of the opinion that AI will eventually take all our jobs and this will lead to a major revolution in 21st century. Now there's a lot going in the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The hype is just tremendous with everyone trying to get on the AI train to reap profits and benefits from it. From humanoids implementing concepts of neural networks and deep learning to interact with humans to nanobots that cure cancer to algorithms that analyze your online behavior and manipulate you into buying that limited edition,'just-one-left-in-stock' inflated Pikachu doll, the possibilities are just endless and crazy. However, there are mixed opinions regarding the benefits or the dangers of this rapid technological advancement

Asked God to spread happiness and peace all over, if not, he can go fuck himself. And yes, Happy Children's Day. Never kill that inner child in you. Never. Moving forward, Modi's in UK. Epic speech at Wembley, must say. I guess he's the second guy of Asian heritage to rock Wembley with such magnitude! After Freddie Mercury of course! (1986, Queen, live at Wembley) First Madison Square and now Wembley. A rockstar indeed! No. I’m not a ‘bhakt’ or somethi
