जैसे काग़ज़ पे कोई नज़्म लिखी
या भूली सी कोई क़सम

There have been at least five major mass extinction events in Earth's history. The fact that the "thread" of life was never completely severed is, mathematically, an incredible outlier

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

I struggle to accept the prevailing scientific view that Earth and the existence of life here are merely mundane occurrences.

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

To dismiss this as 'nothing special' feels reductive; given the extreme unpredictability of the cosmos, the persistence of life for four billion years seems like a monumental, unlikely achievement

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

Despite the stoic reminder that the universe isn't required to satisfy our sense of logic, I cannot help but feel that consciousness is the spark that transforms mere matter into a meaningful reality

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

Is a universe truly 'real' if there is no mind to perceive it? The notion of a vast, complex cosmos ticking away in total darkness, devoid of awareness, feels like a hollow prospect

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

Sharvari and Vedang arrive as a gentle, bracing breeze, breathing life into a story of love so tender and guileless it feels like the first light of dawn.

Irshad Kamil has cast his lyrical spells once more, while A.R. Rahman’s music—at the very zenith of his powers—acts as the heartbeat of the entire journey

Imtiaz Ali has woven a masterpiece, an exquisite tapestry of emotion that lingers long after the final frame. Naseeruddin Shah is, as ever, a titan of his craft, commanding the screen with a brilliance that feels both effortless and profound.

There are rare, fleeting moments that strike with such profound resonance they settle into the soul, leaving behind a lingering, beautiful ache—a melancholy one is loath to relinquish. Main Vaapis Ayonga was one such experience for me

Yaara, sun le o yaara
Jhagdon ka maara bewajah
Saara, jalta jahan ye
Tera mera hai, bacha lein ise
Na sharafton ka zawaal hai
Na mohabbaton ka akaal hai

Kya kamaal hai
Kya kamaal hai
4/4

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

Na chalte thhe, na chalne hain yahan
Na koi vaham, na beraham hai yahan
Na koi zulm, na hi zakhm hai yahan

Kya kamaal hai
Kya kamaal hai
Na shikayatein, na sawaal hai
3/n

[Vikas Vasudeva @vikasvasudeva]

Na musibatein, na malaal hai

Saara jag ye lagta dukh se khaali
Ranga li, Khushiyon mein khush-haali
Saare sadme rehte apni had mein
Ye qad mein chhote phoolon se bhi chhote
Dukhon waale sikke khote
Chhote phoolon se bhi chhote
Sikke dukhon ke sabhi ke khote
2/n

Song of hope: A world without conflict or pain

Ye chehre mehke hain, oh-yeah
Ye naghme bikhre hain, oh-yeah
Dilfareb si hai raunak-e-jahan
Dilfareb hai ye saari chahat-e-jahan
Na koi khafa, na bewafa hai yahan
Na koi juda, na gumshuda hai yahan
Kya kamaal hai
Kya kamaal hai

The work that Demis and his team has been doing with AGI is one of area that interest me. If you haven't watched this already, I would highly recommend watching this documentary in your free time: https://t.co/RVmib8669e
