[Manthan @manthan_iiserm]

It rejects consumerism and prioritizes simplicity. Let's find out in this article if Minimalism will help society reduce inequality in the future or if it will stay as a new lifestyle choice only. 🧵

"Is reality actually the prison that fiction bends the bars for? It's so easy to view them as two disconnected entities, both categorized neatly (and safely) in their own bubbles. What if we prod them both and see how much they spill over into each other?🧵

[Manthan @manthan_iiserm]

We embark on a murky journey through the age old dilemma of the influence of media in our lives and how much of what you think is real is really real. Will you come out after reading this a changed person? Maybe, who is to say.

[Manthan @manthan_iiserm]

After all, this is also a piece of media that can affect your perception of reality. Link below!

In each of us, two natures are at war- the good and the evil. This aspect of dualism has been studied in many ancient philosophies and has also inspired themes in modern day cinema. 🧵

So how do directors make use of aesthetics to shape our perception of a character and their emotional turmoil? What scientific principles are involved in these portrayals? Link below!

[Manthan @manthan_iiserm]

The existing anaphasic dichotomy between science and spirituality is nothing but a product of the foolish polarization of something that is so interlinked. 🧵

Science and art have often worked hand in hand. The untethered view of the night sky always leaves one curious about what is happening behind the curtain. Who or what is causing these wonders we witness?🧵

Not all elements are primordial, you know. Some are being synthesized as we sleep.

Perhaps you'd think, if we are indeed made of stardust, maybe we should have let the stars be in charge of making these elements? 🧵

[Manthan @manthan_iiserm]

The authors who are editors from a dystopian future, bring to you this newspaper article….in the hope that their past, and our present, wakes up and corrects the elements plaguing the society.🧵
