The Blind Man's Reality: What it means to be 99.9999999999996 % blind and enjoying it!
Sometimes you learn a lot when you are a witness rather than a participant in an argument between two groups, each with their own rigid point of view. One such recurring theme is the face-off between theists and atheists, philosophers and scientists, tradition versus evidence. Most of the time, it boils down to one group saying, “Prove it,” while the other desperately tries to explain why their belief is sensible. One statement in particular — “I am practical. I believe what
The Speculation Trap: Why Uncertainty Is Not a Sin But a Sign of Progress
So here is a thought that crept up on me while I was writing these blogs, especially the philosophy section. I started thinking: How much of what I am writing is actually speculative? How much of it is accurate, and how much of it is just me reaching in the dark? This question stuck. It would not let go. Why did it stick? Because we live in a world that worships the clinically tried and tested. We are told to look for what has been proven right or wrong. And so I began to won
The Forgotten Intelligence of Motherland: Microbiome, Memory, Nostalgia and Belonging
Long before the term "microbiome" entered our scientific vocabulary, our ancestors had already grasped a profound truth through patient observation of nature. They noticed patterns. They saw that every living thing is connected, interacting, contributing, and supporting human life. They did not have microscopes or gene sequencers, but they were on the same track as modern science, albeit through a different paradigm. They operated from a worldview where everything was alive,
'e-Family' Anyone? Why Connection Needs You to Give Up a Little Privacy
A family is a basic social unit that helps members survive as one fairly independent functional module. This module is the basic building block of our society. It goes without saying that if these basic modules are healthy, the emergent social structures too would be well oiled and functioning optimally. So let us look at this basic building block. Let us start with a simple question. How many people are actually required in a family that is at its optimized best? We can begi
Probiotic Thoughts: Can Your Thoughts Shape Your Microbiome?
The Push Pull Principle: Let me explain what I mean by push and pull. Think about a fan. You can push electricity into it, and the fan will start rotating. That is one direction. But what if you want electricity from the fan? You can rotate the fan physically. When you do that, electricity will come out from the other side. So there is a relationship between electric inflow and physical movement. Either you send electricity to get movement, or you create physical movement to
The Human Oral and Gut Microbiome: Our Unique Probiotic Signature and Microbial Landscape
Microbial Landscape The human body is home to trillions of microorganisms, and nowhere are they more abundant or more diverse than in the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract. These two habitats, connected by the esophagus and stomach, represent the primary portals through which the external microbial world meets the internal human ecosystem. Every bite of food, every sip of water, every breath, and every kiss delivers a microbial payload to the mouth. From there, micro
The Human Skin and Hair Microbiome: The Microbial and Probiotic Signature of Self and Society
Microbial Signature of Self and Society The human body is not a singular entity. It is a superorganism, a consortium of human cells and microbial cells living in intimate association. Nowhere is this more evident than on the skin and hair. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, spanning approximately two square meters and serving as the primary interface between the self and the external world. It is not a sterile barrier. It is a living landscape, colonized by a co
The Probiotic infused Living Spaces: Understanding the Microbiome of Our Homes
of Our Homes The places we call home are not inert structures of wood, concrete, glass, and steel. They are living ecosystems. Every surface, every corner, every air current carries a complex community of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that have colonized the indoor environment. This indoor microbiome is not a recent phenomenon. It has existed for as long as humans have sought shelter. What has changed is the nature of our homes, the materials we use to bu
Rain Water: The Atmospheric Microbiome Delivered in Probiotic laden droplets
Delivered Rain is not merely distilled water falling from the sky. It is the product of an extraordinary journey. Water evaporates from oceans, lakes, and rivers, rises into the atmosphere, condenses around microscopic particles, and falls back to Earth. Along this journey, the water droplet collects passengers. It scavenges bacteria, fungi, viruses, pollen, and dust from every layer of the atmosphere through which it passes. By the time a raindrop reaches the ground, it carr
