Some Thoughts on Thinking and Overthinking Overthinking is a form of thinking in which the mind goes beyond the necessary analysis, trying to estimate every possible situation and outcome—often getting stuck on the most negative possibilities. It’s generally considered a harmful trait, and in many ways, that’s true. Overthinking can slow us down, hinder our goals, and prevent us from taking action. But if we look closely, a person who tends to overthink actually has an exceptional ability to think deeply. They often possess a vivid imagination and a strong analytical capacity. The problem is not the thinking itself—it's that emotions cloud their clarity and turn this strength into something that harms rather than helps. Properly managed, the same ability that fuels overthinking can become a powerful tool for insight, creativity, and problem-solving.

Why You Should Use Duolingo Some people criticize Duolingo, claiming it isn’t a “serious” platform for learning languages. But there’s a side to Duolingo that many overlook—one that can genuinely help you regain control over your digital habits. Duolingo incorporates elements of social media and gaming: streaks, leaderboards, XP points, and quick reward loops. It may not be as addictive as Instagram or TikTok—but these features can redirect the same impulse that keeps you scrolling endlessly. As James Clear explains in Atomic Habits , most of our compulsive actions start with a cue: an uncomfortable feeling, boredom, or mental fatigue. That’s when we instinctively open social media to escape that discomfort. What I’ve found is that Duolingo can act as a healthier alternative during those moments. It gives you something to do that still taps into that instant-reward circuitry, but with a sense of productivity rather than guilt. Personally, I’ve used Duolingo to replace my urge t...

Why You Should Not Rely on Religious Dogma That Claims the Earth Is 4,000 Years Old—and Why Teaching Your Children Evolution Matters Many religious leaders criticize the theory of evolution, calling it unreliable because scientific theories evolve over time—they get refined, updated, sometimes even replaced. They argue that because Theory of Evolution changes, it must be false. Ironically, they treat texts written in the distant past as absolute and unchangeable truth, while doubting evidence-based scientific models. But let’s set that aside for a moment. Even if we assume that religious creation stories are true, the theory of evolution still holds tremendous value. Evolution is like MS Office or any modern software. Why? Because it helps us understand and solve real-world problems —from antimicrobial resistance to how diseases spread to how species adapt. It is essentially a pattern-recognition tool that helps us make sense of life around us. Also, like any software, evolutio...

Why Nitish Kumar could end Jungle Raj in Bihar but Mamata Banerjee could not replicate the same in Bengal 1. Law-and-order situation inherited at the time of taking power Bihar (2005 onwards) Nitish Kumar inherited a state widely regarded as suffering from high crime, weak policing, and politicized gangs. Because the situation was extreme, any strong improvement looked very dramatic . The baseline was so low that rapid visible progress was possible with administrative tightening. West Bengal (2011 onwards) Mamata Banerjee did not inherit a state in open criminal breakdown. Bengal already had: A functioning police structure Lower violent crime rates compared to Bihar But a deeply entrenched party- cadre system from 34 years of Left rule This made crime more political and less gang-based , which is harder to clean up quickly. 2. Nature of criminality in bo...
