Spotless Mind

By
Chapter 1

 When things go south you will feel devastated, lost and scared. It was winter, when I found out that my neighbor Jennifer is never coming back. She died a few months back. The last time I saw her we talked about the recipe of blueberry cake. She used to be a good friend, a good mentor. After I graduated from college, I got placed in a small firm that would help me earn enough to make my living. I moved to the city and got a place near my office. My grandpa used to say that it was very easy to isolate yourself in a city, so I thought I would find some friends I could hangout with. Jennifer was one of them. She was smart, charming and nature loving. I used to work from nine till five and come back home very tired. Jennifer used to live next door and she used to bring me cookies and coffee every evening. The coffee used to be best coffee in that city. She was a neuroscientist who graduated from MIT. Her work seemed pretty complicated and exciting. Jennifer’s dream was to unlock the full potential of human brain. I still remember the last time when we talked about work, she said she was close to her dream. I felt lonely and sad when I lost one of my good friends. I wish I knew what happened to her at least. I took a day off from my work to get some peace of mind. When I got back to office next day I got into so much trouble. Our CEO of the company came for a visit the other day and he wanted the list of people who took leave without prior notice. Sadly, I was one of them. We all got suspended for a month for not following the rules of our company.

A Century To Complete - Sagrada Familia

By
Can a project take more than a century to be completed? Well, some projects do take a century to get over. Sagrada Familia is one of those projects that has taken more than centuries to be completed. It is one of the best-known structure of Catalan Modernisme, attracting over three million visitors annually to Barcelona, Spain. Antoni Gaudi, an architect who is also called by the name "The God's Architect" started the project in 1882. Gaudi was a very religious person, and all his works were infused with a sense of spirituality that reflected the natural world and the God. Sagrada Familia was Antoni Gaudi's most significant work, with this project he was able to take spirituality to a new level. He worked on this project until his death in 1926. This project came to a stop soon after his death. He was not fortunate enough to complete what he had started. Surprisingly, Gaudi knew this truth. He knew that he wouldn't be able to complete this project during his lifet...

The rising tension between Iran and the US.

By
For the past couple of months, we have been hearing about the rising tension between the US and Iran. When did all this start? Does the US fear Iran? The United States is trying to put maximum pressure over Iran to make them come to the negotiation table. However, Iran is adopting a maximum resistance policy. They will reject all the decisions put forth by the US. One of the actions taken by the US government was to put a sanction on Iran. This action which has been undertaken by the US government has caused a lot of issues globally. India, as well as many other countries that were importing a huge amount of oil/petroleum, cut down their import rate to zero percent recently. The oil price in India has increased due to this issue and it created similar issues in several other countries which had a high oil import rate. This tension between the US and Iran can have a huge impact on India if we do not take proper measures. India has to find an alternative partner to do oil...
