The Oracle

MAI KYA HOON? Mai kon hu, mai kya hu? Tu dekhiye jahan mai waha hu. Abba ne kaha sabse juda hu mai, Ek pal ko laga khuda hu mai. Maa ne kaha tu khilona hai mera, Maine kha nahi chodde,  jane kab kaha koi tod de. Sab kehte mai ek chehra hu, Lekin mai to hizab me hu. Roz subah dhudne nikalta hu khudko, Lekin mai to mehtaz me hu. Mai sharab hu kharab hu, Kitab hu khumar hu, Kya mai uska pehla izhaar hu? Nhi, mai uska inkaar hu. Ho sakta hai mai wo ghar hu, Jiska pata dakhiya bhi nhi janta. Cigarette ka wo pehla kash, Cigarette ka wo pehla kash, Jise log sirf shaukiya taur par lete hai . Ya phir wo baisakhi, Ya phir wo baisakhi, Jise ek aapahij apni takat , Aur ye duniya lachari samajhti hai. Mai kon hu, mai kya hu? Waziro ke juban ka pehra hu mai, Raaz thoda gehra hu mai, Haan, tum mese ek chehra hu mai. Mai kon hu, mai kya hu? Tu dekhiye jahan mai waha hu. GUNJAN RATHI Follow me : INSTAGRAM / frank_estien

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness. I KNOW I wasnt posting for so damn long time and I am so sorry for that, well here's a article for you guys, hope you guys like it. When  we talk about happiness, we think about staying happy all the time – every single day, every single minute with zero negativity. We try to pursue this constant state of “happiness” as our goal, and avoid anything that may take it away from us. But what is the meaning of this type of “happiness”?  It’s like your favorite food. The more you have of it doesn’t always mean the better.  On the contrary, when you only have a chance to eat it sparingly, that’s when you really savor every bite of it.  So is it the food itself that makes you happy, or is it how valuable it is to you when you are eating it? We should always remember that  only by experiencing sadness do we understand what it is to be happ...

    There are no aliens at America's most famous top-secret military base, but what is there is just as interesting.   In the middle of the barren Nevada desert, there's a dusty unmarked road that leads to the front gate of Area 51. It's protected by little more than a chain link fence, a boom gate , and intimidating trespassing signs. One would think that America's much mythicized top secret military base would be under closer guard, but make no mistake. They are watching. Beyond the gate, cameras see every angle. On the distant hilltop, there's a white pickup truck with a tinted windshield peering down on everything below. Locals says the base knows every desert tortoise and jackrabbit that hops the fence. Others claim there are embedded sensors in the approaching road.                     What...

How often have I wondered that, no matter whichever field or domain, the greatest and the most successful people had one quality in common – they were all great storytellers.   Storytelling is not confined to just art, writing, or movies alone. It is as much applicable to business, sport, sales, and management as it is to art.   Who needs to be a storyteller? Is it only for creative people, artists, movie directors, etc.? No not at all. It applies for everyone. Practically everyone, but most importantly storytelling is very critical for people in leadership roles cutting across all domains. Who are the greatest storytellers or our time?   Have a look across all domains:   Richard Branson is a great story teller — please google for visuals and you will realise how this guy created his awesome Virgin brand through his events and stories.   Steve Jobs was one of the greatest storytellers of all time — every Appl...

The Blue Whale challenge is an alleged ‘internet/social media game’ wherein the participants are given a series of tasks to complete over a period of time. The alleged final task is suicide. The game which is seemingly prevalent in many parts of the world is said to have originated from Russia. The game asks its participants to perform 50 tasks, starting from mundane ones and culminating in taking one’s life. The participants are told to record all their tasks, which include waking up at odd hours, inflicting harm on one’s body, listening to psychedelic rock and so on. There is still no clarity as to how participants ‘play this game’. While some say it might be an app, there are rumours that it can be done via social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram etc. The game also allegedly involves carving out shapes on one’s skin and other forms of self-mutilation. It is important to note that the presence of this ‘game’ has not been verified. However, the Moscow pol...

History  is full of lessons for us, but it also has mysteries for us to solve. Some of these mysteries are recent, others are millennia old – still waiting for answers. In India too, generations of scientists and researchers have grappled with many puzzling stories and events that have left them baffled over the years. Let’s take a look at some of these enigmas, some of which are truly inexplicable and puzzling, to learn more about the mysteries of India. You can play detective of course and leave us an explanation if you solve any in the comment box below – we would be happy  to cross them off our list!   1. Disappearance of the Indus Valley Civilization   The Indus valley civilisation is perhaps India’s most ancient mystery. There are many unanswered questions about this great civilisation that was larger than the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilisations combined. The secrets behind the identity of the people who created it...
