Convalescence Of Treasons- Priyangshu
It’s the arrival of spring,And I’ve failed to hold none of their strings.I kept acting the theatre,But I saw they all fled like a deviator. Amidst the storms and leaf’s untold stories,Nature waits and blooms with glories.It’s 21st March, the arrival of spring,And I get into season of 16. Tonnes of betrayals faced to face,May…

Tides of life- Harshwardhan Singh Chauhan
I see a child,A child running,Running far away, Chasing the light,Leaving behind the bulbs and the screens,Chasing the sunlight, bathing in the moonlight, He keeps on running,Like a river he flows, ocean ocean oceanHorizon awaits, leaving behind, The jumbles, the crumbles,Oh, those fumbles,All the confusion, all the rain, Further, he goes,Further, he goes,Teary-eyed, detaching slowly,…

Is free will deterministic? – Raghava Deepak
Free will is the evaluation or assessment of an incident and assembling an opinion from the residues of past experiences and memory. All memory is the accumulation or leftovers of cause & effect. This evaluation or assessment as it originates from the residue of cause & effect becomes another cause for another effect. The effects…

Thoughts on Futility- Alex Diaz
futile (/ˈfyo͞odl/), adjective – incapable of producing any useful result; pointless. I find a great deal of talk about theoretical morality; yet never about practical morality (not a significant amount, at least).

The baggage of the self acquired from the past is imposing a…
