  Today in class Rufus sir spoke about embodied knowledge, and honestly, it flipped a switch in my head. We always think knowledge is in books, in brains, in classrooms. But embodied knowledge? It’s the kind that lives in us the wisdom of the body, the instincts, the scars, the gestures. It’s what you feel before you even think. And when I connected that to world literature, boom it started making sense why certain texts feel so alive. Because literature doesn’t just talk through words; it moves through bodies. Epic Literature: Bodies as Maps of Memory In The Mahabharata, Arjuna’s body itself becomes the ground where dharma is tested. His archery, his hesitation, his battle scars all show how wisdom is not abstract but embodied. Colonial & Postcolonial Voices Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart shows us that colonizers could rewrite books, but they couldn’t erase embodied traditions.

A blank screen, a delayed reply, those three blinking dots they all create tension. Emojis step in to rescue us from that silence. A 🙂 saves an awkward pause, a 🙃 cushions sarcasm, a 🤷‍♀️ translates confusion. They turn absence into presence, making silence ...

Bedrotting: When Rest Turns Into Rust Hey guys, let’s talk about a war a war between your brain and screentime, your mental health and laziness, your doomscrolling and emotions. In this digital era, we’re not exactly trapped in our screens. Trapped feels forceful, like there’s no exit. The truth? We’re happily trapped scrolling, liking, bingeing—fully aware it’s stealing our peace, yet choosing not to resist. But why does it happen?  Dopamine & Doomscrolling The human brain is wired for dopamine hits. Every ping, every like, every reel is a mini validation. But that validation comes at a cost. According to Statista, Gen Z checks their phones 100+ times a day , often without noticing. What feels like “fun time” slowly mutates into anxiety, sleep disturbance, and emotional fatigue. 70% of adults lie in bed, eyes glued to glowing screens, ears buzzing with relentless notifications. What should be rest turns into a battlefield—where sleep struggles to find its way and dreams...
