Namaste!
I’m Pratap – a physics PhD from India currently living in New York city as a postdoc researcher. I am a curious traveler on life’s wonderfully absurd journey.
And I am unique. My background, my experiences, all of it has shaped a unique perspective on the world. And hey, in a world of eight billion, who isn’t unique?
Thankfully, we’re not living in the Stone Age anymore where forging your own path meant facing down a sabretooth tiger! So, let’s celebrate those quirks that make us, well, us.
This little corner of the internet is where I share my musings, reflections, and the occasional deep thought. Think of it as my personal campfire where I gather my thoughts and share stories.
If you’ve got a moment, feel free to dive into my posts. 😊 I’d love to hear your thoughts along the way.
Here’s to the beautiful randomness of life! 🥂
Oh yes, before I forget, some of the posts are originally in Bengali, my mother tongue. If you wish, you can change the language from the menu.

We Are Conscious, But How Does It Matter?
Deep within the Amazon jungle, a massive python seemed to breathe right beside me. Inches from its gaping mouth, a splash of red blood appeared—the villain was dead. As the theater erupted in applause, I pondered: What has technology achieved here? Without our consciousness to interpret patterns, they're meaningless.

– Hello? – Yes, go ahead. – What are you up to? – Nothing much. – Oh, come on, you must be on Facebook or YouTube or something, right? People don’t just stay awake for no reason. – I was just doing a bit of painting. – Painting! You? You[...]Read More
