Living our destiny or directing our own destiny?!

Living our destiny or directing our own destiny?!
So here I am back in Lucknow my hometown ..and once again I am back to the struggles which the city gets for any dental surgeon, and then of course the little struggles of starting everything fresh again  ! It has been more than ten days today since I came here and all that I have been doing for all this while is living in the past, and living in what cant be ! An imaginary world ! which is there with me all the time ! Its nothing but living in what if .. what if I didn’t resign my job, what if I was adamant in not getting married, what if I was settled somewhere else ! I don’t know how of many other people think like that !  So what am I basically deriving out of it .. nothing at all.. and what am I loosing by it .. i guess I am losing everything in the present !

Time and again we read way too many quotes and articles on “LIVING IN THE PRESENT” but then why is it that it is still the least that we do ! One reason which I could figure out was that most of the times we keep blaming our destiny for everything, so much so that we do not realize that in the while that we are actually blaming our destiny we are creating something else for ourselves ! Like in the while that I go in the past and think, I guess this wasn’t destined for me, I end up losing what is destined for me in the present as well ! Easy to preach and difficult to follow at the end I believe may be there is a part of destiny that is fixed and there is a part of it that we direct ourselves but everything depends on how well we accept a situation as it comes to us ..Realizing what is fixed and cannot be changed and doing the best towards what is there in our hands truly defines what we end up calling our destiny!

Can we expect Real Growth, from Intelligence that’s Artificial?

Technology has changed so much around us in the past few years, isn’t it? From getting miraculously connected to each other through phones, we have grown multifold since the time mobiles were first introduced. Internet, international connectivity, google search, and social media, we seem to have travelled ahead at the speed of light. While many of us were still adapting to all of this, a big word- artificial intelligence started circulating. Intelligence and artificial, look like two opposite words that have been joined together , is what came to my mind when I first heard about it. Before I could know, this technology, now popular as AI had already infiltrated many apps and websites. Someone asked me if I use ChatGPT, and I got partially shocked to discover what it was. In between all this lately, there was another popular news that mentioned how an MIT graduate had invented a device that could read your mind. He mentioned how it could google questions within your mind and order a p...

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin...

One I marvel at the clarity that most young adults have nowadays with respect to their careers. Because well, I was an ever-confused young adult; or wait, maybe not. I belong to a family of more or less medicos. Starting from my paternal and maternal grandparents, to my mom, dad, most maternal and paternal uncles, and aunts, we are a family of a wide array of different medical specialists. From dining table discussions about patients to some doctor-patient talk, which I used to overhear while doing my homework in my mom’s clinic; my subconscious mind had accumulated enough data to evoke the hidden medico in me. Thus, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, a cardiologist if I can be specific. Opting biology and reading text for the premedical entrance examination thus came naturally to me. Clearing the examination with an average rank, good enough to fetch me a college which could grant me a degree, but not as great so as to get me the top-notch colleges then followed. “...
