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. So, let’s sit back and enjoy this story of a single-celled Bacteria called Cyanobacteria (also known as the Blue-Green Algae), which in a way, made the Earth we …

The Origin of Life on Earth
The origin of life on Earth has to be one of the most engrossing queries out there, and also equally significant. Because as important as the origin of the universe and its constituents is, it is because of the origin of life that we are actually in the position to even contemplate it. And I …
The Origin of Earth
Our planet Earth is one of the eight planets of our solar system, which lies in the Milky Way Galaxy. Just a simple sneak-peek into Wikipedia of the Milky Way says that “it is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars and at least that number of planets.” Coupled with the knowledge that there are billions …
The Origin of Everything
Let us start by addressing the title itself, “The Origin of Everything”. But what exactly is everything? What is the first thing that comes to our mind when we think of the word ‘everything’? While the notion could differ from person to person, the broadest explanation of the word we can come up with is …
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 …

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 …
Varanasi – City of Life
The first thing Varanasi reminds me of is waking up at 4 am in the morning (or night, whichever one you call it!) And that for someone who experiences 4 am only during the Champions League nights in football. So you can imagine how 'chuffed' I was with the whole waking up at 4 am …
Annecy – A Place Out of Fairy Tale
Annecy Most of the beautiful places on earth, we always see them in images before we see them in real. Like we don’t have to see Paris in real to picture Eiffel tower in our head or travel Egypt to imagine the Pyramids. Therefore, it is very rare to experience that unique feeling of seeing …
Mustang – The Forbidden Kingdom
I remember seeing Mustang as a kid in TV. A land beyond Himalayas with never-seen-before landscapes. Lifestyle and culture different from anything I had experienced till then. In fact, a place with its own king inside of Nepal. It was long before I was exposed to internet. So, Mustang seemed every bit like some different …
Backwaters in Kerala
Kerala is a state known for its amazing scenery. From its hills and waterfalls to its shacks and beaches, Kerala has got everything and is rightly known as God’s own country. But still, when you think of Kerala, the first image that pops us in your head is its backwaters. Backwaters are freshwater bodies that …
