The Nuance, the book of versified questions, deals with the concept of human immortality and advocates for the immortality of each human being through its 3400 rhetorical questions. The verse is divided into 17 no. of cantos containing 1700 heroic couplets. Through these cantos, the verse navigates through the universe with the epistemological inspection of life on the earth, with human distinction, and develops the logic of human immortality reasoning that humans are a supreme form of science and not limited to the mundaneness and cycle of birth and death but a continuous evolution toward their ultimate immortal form, extraterrestrial existence and eternal permanence.  The verse postulates that if life has been possible with death, life without death can also be possible and states that the body can be immortal through a scientific synergy between matter and energy. It further states that life is mortal because it lives on the mortals. The universe is an energy manifestation...

The nuance of life with death has outwitted everyone who has tried to give meaning to life. Death means nothingness and life in the backyard of death cannot be anything. It has never been defined anywhere, scientifically, if life is the life of birth, growth and death for an individual species or life is the life of the species in common, through an endless series of birth, growth and death, or life is the life through mutation and divisibility like bacteria, or if life is the age and biomass of a caterpillar or the age and biomass of a butterfly. What definition of life do we get when a mayfly lives for a day, a human for 70-85 years, a Greenland shark for 400 years, a glass sponge for 10,000 years and a hydra without death? Is life, further, as old as the life on this planet, for 3.7 billion years, since the birth of microbes, or over 5-million-year-old anthropes or about 3-lakh-year-old homo sapiens? What comprehension of life do we make, individually of our own, between our birth a...

                             INTRODUCTION                                                                      By N. P. Samal The early humans with their weird eyes, used to curiously observe the logs of wood and round boulders rolling down the mountain slopes. From this curious observation day in and day out, germinated in their mind, the path-breaking idea of the wheel, the idea that after its beautiful epoch-making flight, took the revolutionary shape in Mesopotamia in the 4th millennium BCE when the Sumerian people inserted rotating axles into solid discs of wood, which marked the birth of the modern wheel. Since then, the wheel has been rolling up and up stopless and evolved into numerous forms and designs and for numerous purposes...

I lost my daughter, my only child, but I was creative enough to make the loss the pillar of my success.                                                                                 - Author  Success is an achievement of something that seems impossible in the limit of the socio-economic system of a given society by the term of the popular recognition and brings possibility of a host of following things-- 1) Those who have got success in one field, have merit to get success in any other field. Those without a success either have been deprived of one or they did not try for any... Success in the Human System-- 1. Success is always autocratic.  2. Success is madness. 3. Success is sadistic.

THE UNIVERSE AND YOU The Corona lock-down is being extended. Indefinitely. Interminably. At first, you had thought it would be a matter of roughly two weeks. But to your dismay, it did not end. Then two months. You thought you would die.  But you did not die. Now six months already into the lock-down, you have not died. Neither Corona nor your fear has been able to break into the shell of your life, although you have been deprived of the zest. You have been sitting idle. Nothing really is interesting inside the house. Everything is hackneyed. Everything is uninteresting. So, you are curled up in your armchair, legs bent up into the tight hold of your arms, head hanging down the lower jaw resting on the knees and the eyes are wide open but seeing nothing as the interior of your visual limit looks insipid... Please listen to me! Just do one thing to get freedom from COVIDIOCY as well as to exercise your workability with the following activity : Take a set of crayons and a drawing she...

THE VIRAL CONFUSION  COVID-19 or Corona, aptly the Virus of the Century, has already taken a heavy toll on the life and living of the modern humans worldwide, and is going stronger by the day. In a matter of months, the nondescript invisible virus has influenced your mind so much that the huge nuclear stockpiles, terrorism, corruption, exploitation, horrific superstitious practices, hunger, malnutrition, genocides, caste violence, environmental pollution, extinction of species, traffic accidents, industrial accidents, urban crimes, cancer, other dreaded diseases...have failed to do for decades. The virus is killing people outside and you are hiding inside. Your body is numb. Your mind is restive. There is indecision. There is ineptitude. And you are caught in an utter confusion... Your work-free, yet hugely anxious mind now hosts the whole lot of questions : Is Corona indestructible? Is the problem irremediable? Will the virus kill all of us like it is killing in Europe and America...
