The pre requisite for creative writing: darkness and silence. Though I am currently in possession of both these assets, this, in no form, is creative literature. I'm just venting out some of the my thoughts. Just now, I was reading a paper on how they found out a new cnidarian that shows anaerobic respiration. Well, this is a huge deal in the scientific community, for we have known a lot of anaerobic microbes, but we believed that all animals (and by animals I mean the scientific term, which includes everything from sponges to humans) were aerobic; and yet this creature, Henneguya salminicola, is perfectly fine without oxygen. This sent me thinking how to incorporate a good scientific backbone into literary writing. Well you see, I enjoy two types of reading experiences: one is the scientific paper style, where the intellect, and more importantly, the curiosity is stimulated. The other is good fiction that gives a healthy dose of imagery and fantasy. Often, the scientific literat

It is the very basis of all life. It is life. If you think about it, all of us are made up of mindless elements; yet we thrive. There are billions of ways in which nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, and sulphur could exist in chaos. But it is just this one recipe that makes us alive. This is the very fundamental of discipline.   When the laws of thermodynamics works against us, and entropy tries to pull every atom in our body back into the chaos it came from, it is the discipline of life that keeps us such.   Every cell in our body is an individual living unit that is capable of self respiration and reproduction. Living within us, they get an ample supply of all nutrients to produce their own progeny. They have every opportunity to put their existence above ours and proliferate within us. But o
