Meet the Brutal Killer Who Wrote the English Dictionary
If you often find yourself scrambling to catch up with deadlines, regularly running behind schedule, or experiencing the annual Christmas Eve rush for gifts, you're not alone. And contrary to what you might think, it's not necessarily a sign of incompetence or laziness on your part—unless, of course, you're watching this video at 3 PM in your pajamas, then maybe we need to reassess. More likely, you're falling prey to what psychologists call the planning fallacy—a common human tendency to underestimate the time needed to complete tasks or overestimate our efficiency. This phenomenon is pervasive in our lives, affecting not only individuals but also major projects and even fictional characters like Pinky and the Brain.

Beyond Formal Education: Embracing the Knowledge Revolution Through Reading
‘The Day of the Triffids’, in my opinion is one of the best science fiction novels of all time. In 1951 when the novel was published for the first time, science was, well, still backward and the notion of Star Wars and biotechnology was none existent, or in its infancy. Yet that is what the novel is all about. John Wyndham, the author of the novel could see the future with uncanny ability.

Eight-year-old Lily skirted along the sandy shore, her chuckle following splendidly in the late spring air. Her straw cap bobbed with each lighthearted step, its brilliant strip shuddering like a caught butterfly.

Embracing My Reflection
The mirror mirrored a kaleidoscope of varieties - a lively sari hung in emerald and saffron, mind boggling gold gems decorating my ears and neck, and kohl-fixed eyes that sparkled with expectation. However, in the midst of the merry clothing, a glint of disquiet moved in my appearance.
