In a world where more and more people are working in roles that could be considered as ‘always at work’, how do they achieve and maintain a balance between work and personal life? How do companies and leaders do to promote this way of life? Every day millions of people struggle with these questions. At the same time, leaders fight with solutions. It is difficult to reach an agreement because the answers vary. As a manager and member of the...

I am privileged. Profoundly, unequivocally privileged, because I was loved from the beginning. And not only loved but I was also supported. Both of my parents were born in Southern India in extremely conservative families. My grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, second cousins and even the dog next door were all exceedingly religious, traditional, sexist, and absolutely cliche-ridden. Now, science may declare that parents pass down most of their traits to their children, but my parents are living proof that...

In 2017, Netflix CEO Reed Hasting said the irksome human necessity to sleep is Netflix’s biggest rival; “think about it, when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep, it’s a very large pool of time” (Hern, 2017). On average, adults get six hours of sleep a night. In the 1970s, this was closer to seven hours, and in the early 20th century, nine (ScienceDaily, 2006)....

To fully understand and analyze a text it is difficult not to look at the author, in this case Edgar Allen Poe. Although Poe once claimed that his short stories are in no way about his personal life or about him, it is hard to imagine an author writing about something that they know nothing about or haven’t experienced at one point or another. Reading “The Fall of the House of Usher” through a Freudian lens helps us understand and...

My phone buzzes. An unfamiliar number with a mysterious number— I later find out it’s from Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh). Profile pic showing a selfie of a 30-something woman, smiling with her son, a strange picture to receive as it’s almost black and white, a kind of warrior lady she seems to be. For the past three years, I have been getting dreams for this woman, Rani Lakshmi Bai. Over the years, I’ve pieced together parts of who she is; middle-aged,...

Luck is defined by the English dictionary as “the good things that happen to you, that do not come from your abilities or effort”. This suggests that luck is something supernatural and a given birthright, dictated by fate and natural occurrences. However, is it so? Psychologist Richard Wiseman found that luck is completely a matter of how we choose to look at our lives after years of investigation. The people who consider themselves lucky are the ones who recognize their...

But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself” – Friedrich Nietzsche.

Love is a philosophy that can imply various things to different people, however, all concepts of love have one thing in common. People can love other people, animals, or material things now, but it is the same: love (Kaufman, 2013). Granting their desires and cognitive compulsions can lead them to fall in love. Love, in essence, combines all of these things (Kaufman, 2013). Love is not physical nor spiritual. It’s a partnership of the mind and heart, not one that...

Human beings have a lot of necessities; eat, sleep, move, and breathe, but there is also one thing that for us is as essential as those already mentioned, love. Love is a word that could not be described exactly with a worldwide definition, some say is an emotion, a feeling, a state of mind, a phase, a goal, or from a more medical point of view, love is a mix of a big amount of hormones produced by your brain...

Love, at first sight, is an oxymoronic statement. The concepts don’t go together at all, they might work in Hollywood but they don’t work in a scientific sense. They may work in theory but they don’t work in reality. The theme is conveyed throughout many romantic films and plays from the classic ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to the contemporary ‘Twilight’ and even Prince Harry said that he knew Megan was ‘the one’ the very first time they met. But science proves...

“This is why you should not be in a relationship in the 21st century” Feriel Oueslati From the cradle to your tomb, you live in a world where love is its core. Love used to be such a powerful word that death would be welcomed with open arms if it meant saving the other half from any possible harm, where sacrifices were made in a heartbeat; the chivalrous kind of love. We all have drooled over pictures of soldiers leaving...

In the past years, I lived a life with no directions to follow. My heart was chained with emotional numbness and rejected the attempts of falling in love with the wrong person. I was scared of giving appreciation to others without even being appreciated in the very first place. I thought that I was living a happy, kind, exciting, and fascinating life, but it was nothing when I compared it with life when I was in love. The day I...

Dear Stranger, I have thought long and hard about why it is that I find falling in love with you so easy. This question has kept me up at night and quite frankly consumed much more time than I am comfortable with disclosing, so in the spirit of closure and giving myself some peace of mind, I am writing to you with a list of all the reasons I have come up with. This may seem pointless to you. I...

“If all else perished and she remained, I should still continue to be. And if all else remains and she were annihilated, the universe will turn into a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it.” This line quoted by Slavoj Zizek in his talk about “Love as a Political Category” is a clear expression of love, as we know it. That there is someone who is the most special among others. That if this someone will be...

To love is an uncontrollable event that comes alive without waiting for it. In the same way, love is born sometimes in an unexpected person who makes us lose our heads. To love is almost to cease being our master and to give the other the power to ‘steal his heart’ practically. When you give yourself permission to love someone – in spite of your most devastating experiences – you run the risk of suffering, but also of living, growing...

I remember walking in my junior year of high school in 2016, I walked in having no hopes to experience nor find intimate love during my high school years. It was simply that I could not feel it up until this year of high school and I found everyone quite boring and thought at the time, that I was the only one that thought what I was thinking, that love is not real and there’s no such thing as love....

In the lecture by Doctor Helen Fisher titled, “Why People Fall in Love”, she explores precisely that- explaining what emotional, biological, and physical drives lead human beings to fall in love with another person. Though we have always had an innate drive for reproduction, humans did not initially evolve as monogamous beings. Fisher believes that initial romantic attraction stemmed from mammal mating rituals and sexual competition within the animal kingdom. This phenomenon is even noted by Charles Darwin as, “what...

Memory as a form of constructing reality is a mechanism for the formation of not only an individual but also a social experience. The amount of knowledge about the past of the social group in which the individual finds himself is one of the most important factors of his social identification. The identification function of social memory is embodied in the desire of modern society to clothe the past in symbolic and ritual forms. ‘Places of memory’ exist because of...

The world is full of re-used greetings and recycled grins, like secondhand birthday cards with the names scribbled out. We are obsessed with perfection because we want what we can’t have and aim for what we can’t achieve. People worship morality, while the saints look down and curse our names. Atheists drown their sorrows in holy water and flick bible pages in Church like they flick their cigarettes in a bar. Hypocrisy stains our food, taints our water, and poisons...
