In our last article, we promised to talk about the origin of Hinduism next. But before talking about Hinduism and its origin, it is important to take a slight detour and talk about a different origin instead. As Hinduism – despite being the oldest religion on earth – is followed almost exclusively only in the …
The Origin of Religion on Earth
Religion is perhaps the most influential human creation in history. Even if one follows some religion or not, one cannot deny the influence it has in our day to day lives. Religion is so intertwined with culture, tradition, and even moral beliefs that it is difficult to separate one from the other, and even more …
‘Long-Story-Short’ Version of Human History
Here is the thing. Writing a 'long-story-short' version of all of human history is a fascinating challenge in itself.

The Origin of Humans on Earth
The origin of humans is a subject that is no better or conclusive than the previous topics we’ve covered. In fact, it has generated even more alternative theories and controversies than the origin of the Universe.

The Evolution of Life on Earth
We talked a little about the basic unit of life called cell earlier, and I also hinted on how the whole life was actually created out of Bacteria.

The Origin of Life on Earth

The Origin of Earth
Our planet Earth is one of the eight planets of our solar system, which lies in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Here We Go!
Hello everyone. Feels a bit strange writing here after such a long time. I remember the year 2020, one of my resolutions was to be more active in my blog. But here I am, after almost 8 months of the year, making my first post. The year 2020 has also been some sort of stalemate …
Srilanka – Island of Everything
Last October, I traveled to Sri Lanka with my friend for nine days. Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) is a small island nation situated in the Indian Ocean. For someone born in Nepal, Sri Lanka feels like a distant cousin - someone you always know is there and close, but still you don't get …
Faces of Tibet
Traveling is a learning experience. Every time we travel to a place, it adds a page to our life. And while most of our travel decisions are shaped by some natural wonders or monuments, there is another aspect that adds life to our journey. And that is the people of that place and their lifestyle. …
Tibet – Memento Paradiso
Tibet is the closest thing to the fabled Shangri-La on earth. It is a fantasy land far beyond the hills and the Himalayas, intertwined with treacherous roads and sparkling rivers, and painted with picturesque meadows and mountains. Mountains on the Nepal side Far across some of the most awe-inspiring high passes in the world (some …
