Hi maitreyi_parinaama👋,

How are you dealing with 2020, so far?

Working all night, sleeping all day,

Missing those idiots who make me laugh,

Spending the days that never return,

I feel so dumb right now

6 words are not enough

To explain this madness!

Chores, Rationing, Fear!

My daughter, Family, Frustration!

I do hope that you make

Your quarantine insanely productive.

Yours truly

(with a mask)

Faulty Teaching

We are taught to "appear" amazing on the outside not to feel amazing on the inside We are taught to hide our flaws and be ashamed of them not to work with our flaws and see their value We are taught to silence and suppress our inner demons not to understand and heal them We are taught to appear aloof and keep it "cool" when expressing and managing our emotions healthily is better We are taught asking for help is weak when help is what we need We are taught that feeling anger, jealousy, lust, resentment is bad when these are all valid feelings carrying a deeper meaning We learn to put on a convincingly happy face when we feel dead and lonely inside We are taught to be vigilant and to trust nobody not to be compassionate with healthy boundaries We are taught to coldly judge and be smartly sarcastic not to warmly understand and lovingly speak...

The shadow self are the parts of our own nature that we wish to avoid looking at and hence that which we wish to avoid relating our self image with. It refers to the neglected parts of ourselves that we would have pushed away into our subconscious because we intentionally or unintentionally avoid dealing with it, at the moment when it begged to be dealt with, out of the pressure of our own beliefs of who we should or should not be. It can include everything outside the light of our consciousness and may be positive or negative. Now, I believe we are energy itself. When a part of our energy begs for our attention because it feels hurt or at a lower vibration, it is up to us, whether we decide to deal with that part of ourselves or not. Of course, 1. the surrounding environment, 2...

Experiments with ChatGPT - Is Cre(AI)tivity logical?

Hello dear readers! Long time no see - clearly. Well, as always, I'm here to tell you about my recent escapades with anything and everything that fascinated and piqued me. I have a whole lot of things to share, but let me start with the elephant in the room - CHAT GPT Chat GPT is apparently the saviour of students when it comes to completing their assignments, providing ideas and direction for their projects and basically is that good samaritan hated by teachers and loved by all. I was fascinated by its capabilities and had reviewed articles that sung its praises to the heavens. I decided to challenge GPT by asking from it the one thing I was confident it could not provide - Creativity. To start off, I wanted to understand how it worked, so I gave a very simple prompt. excuse my grammar - but hey it was smart enough to understand me The A.I model came up with 4 of the most popular short story prompts - and it made sense to me. These were the tried and tested models that convenientl...
