This Universe is incredibly wonderful with hidden order and synergy. Curiosity & Fascination for Science, Music, and Philosophy is perhaps means to discover the seeker within..

Why does the Poori puff? What’s inside a Mobile? Do ABCDs have a reason?
What’s in a bengali name? Which is simpler? Alexa or Siri?
Why the colors in this Universe? Do I see the Shoe as ‘Pink or Blue’?
What’s the poetry in the Suprabatam.. Can I scale the Gita Language?

For those of you who have enquired about my depth and passion in these topics.. My background is in embedded engineering. I immensely enjoy discovering Sanskrit.. through experience of sounds, wisdom of scriptures.. musicality of the chants and the wonder etymology and structure of grammar. I am mother of two teen boys. During my many months of break from work, I seemed to have enjoyed the randomness, magical connections and the stories that my surroundings had to tell.. And I immensely enjoy learning, teaching and expression by writing. Welcome Reader!

If you are not into these topics, and yet want to read some of the musings, do jump to the last section of this post, or skim through the topics. Apology for the clutter!

I have prompted MetaAI to provide a summary on the topic list..

“Join this inspiring author on a journey of discovery, as she weaves together seemingly disparate threads from science, technology, language, philosophy, and Indian scriptures. Through her writing, she invites readers to explore new perspectives, cultivate curiosity, and deepen their understanding of the world and themselves. She also touches on the intriguing intersection of human intelligence and artificial intelligence, hinting at the potential for collaborative insights.

Come and experience the joy of learning, as she illuminates the interconnectedness of all things.”
