A Tale Of Two Beings

  So we all know about Adam and Eve. For the ever-so-eternal ignorant, in the story of Adam and Eve, God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone and decided to create Eve as a partner from one of his ribs. Most misogynistic chauvinists (pigs) might say, ‘Well, I would prefer to still have my rib’. Well, my dear friend, if there was no Eve after you bit into the apple, your time would be spent just strengthening your right arm in those ever-repetitive movements that we all so often enjoy as teenagers. So if not for anything else, be glad Eve was there. Moral of the story? Sometimes, biting into the forbidden fruit may seem like a good idea, but it might just come with more awkward conversations than you’re ready for. Also, maybe don’t trust a snake that’s trying to sell you life-changing fruits. Ok, enough of the witty sarcastic part, let’s talk about the two people coming together. Notice I say two people- whether you want to cover your eyes with a veil or literally blind you...

D&D for Dummies!

  Nopes, this is not about Dungeons and Dragons- this is about something inherently linked to my own existence- the Doctors & Dollar disillusion (and the life plan for the new generation of aspiring doctors). Ah, becoming a doctor—the fool-proof route to owning yachts, private jets, and possibly an island or two. If you believed that nonsense, let me prescribe you some bitter pills: Medical degrees come with a treasure map- one that never ever pinpoints the location of the gold stash. Being a doctor is rewarding, yes—but financially? Let’s just say that by the time you will be able to afford that Ferrari, you will be having difficulty wiping your own ass due to the arthritis kicking in or imagine having meals, where the pills on your plate scared all the real food away. That’s being a doctor nowadays. The misconception that doctors automatically become millionaires maybe stems from watching Grey’s Anatomy, where Dr Derek Shepherd drives luxury cars, sips artisanal coffee, a...

The Homunculus Fallacy applied to the Physics of Anaesthesiology

Fullmetal Alchemist fans on board! Each Homunculus had a tragic origin spiced up with a seriously complicated personality, coupled with a specific superpower. Incidentally, they are named after the seven sins. (Who said you can’t suck in general knowledge from Mangas and Anime?) If I had to choose, I would fit into King Bradley’s shoes probably. Why not the Elric brothers? First, I am no hero and well, Bradley’s personality strangely appeals to mine- Calm and surprisingly pleasant, even with a sense of humour when compared to the other homunculi, and then goes ‘batshit’ crazy as Wrath. Rambling on- Homunculus just means a small human. Small and human? Is that even possible? Humans tend to think that they are ‘bigger’ compared to others in a specific aspect or sometimes, for some of the dumbest out there, in all aspects. Let’s address the elephant in the room: the idea that bigger is always better is as outdated as a flip phone. Yes, we all know the myths and we know the need for ...
