Living in the 21st Century: Embracing Transformations

Image
Gratitude Diary Day 25:  Living in the 21st century is a true blessing. We have access to a wealth of knowledge accumulated by our ancestors and have witnessed the rapid transformation of society by technology. The thought of living to old age and witnessing the changes this world will undergo is both exciting and daunting. It's difficult to predict what the future may hold, but one thing is certain: it will be vastly different from the world we grew up in. Let us take a moment to express gratitude for the opportunity to witness these monumental changes. #GratitudeChallenge #GratitudeDiary Are you curious about all the hype about AI?

Gratitude Diary Day 20: Deliveries

Image
Gratitude Diary Day 20:  I am endlessly grateful to the delivery services and their drivers for revolutionizing our shopping experiences. A paradigm shift has occurred compared to just a few years ago. Admittedly, re-imagining the high streets presents us with challenges, but in the long term, businesses that adapt will survive and provide even more efficient and convenient services. We may even see a reduction of traffic in town centres and an increase in green spaces, which would be a significant advantage. #GratitudeDiary #GratitudeChallenge

Iraq and Kurdistan Documentary

Image
The captivating documentary created by Yes Theory sheds light on an often-neglected travel destination in traditional mainstream media- northern Iraq. It's abundantly clear that the content creators put their heart and soul into producing exceptional content by paying close attention to the minutest of details- from the vibrant hues, crisp audio quality, thought-provoking narrative, to the flawless story execution. Given the accessibility of professional editing software, filming equipment, and drones, we are witnessing a surge in high-quality content production from independent content creators. The sheer beauty and excitement of Kurdistan and Northern Iraq portrayed in the documentary are simply breathtaking. I recommend this film to anyone who is looking for a travel program that is slightly off the beaten path. In the documentary, the locals of northern Iraq spoke about the trauma of war and the hardships their country and community had endured with remarkable composure. Despi...

Dentist

Image
This week, I needed a check-up and had to visit a private dentist. I called several dentists, only to discover that none of them were offering NHS treatments at the moment. It's disheartening to know that NHS treatments are not being provided by many dentists at this time. I believe that the availability of public health treatments should not be limited in any way. #NHS  Gratitude Diary Day 9:  I'm immensely grateful to be living in a country where essential healthcare services are provided to all citizens by the state. Despite the lack of availability of dentists at times, it remains a relief to know that most health services are covered and accessible to everyone. If not for this provision, it would be extremely costly and unaffordable for many individuals to receive healthcare. #GratitudeChallenge #GratitudeDiary Are you curious about all the hype about AI?

Predestination (film review), the concept of self

Image
A fun paradox, if you have the stomach for it I recently watched a movie that, like Midnight Diner, left me pondering on some interesting themes. The movie has a clever plot that challenges traditional science fiction and scientists alike, by dealing with the effects of time travel paradoxes. For some, meeting oneself in the past can be a mindbending enough concept, but encountering multiple versions of oneself in an intertwined and non-linear order can be a bit overwhelming. Personally, I found the film quite enjoyable. The story was well-crafted with unexpected plot twists that made it fun to watch as an audience. Although it might not appeal to all sci-fi fans or scientists, I found it to be an entertaining and thought-provoking movie. The concept of 'I'- the self The concept of self is truly intriguing. Who are we, really? Do we have a solid, unchanging definition of ourselves? As human beings, we are constantly evolving and changing, even at the cellular level. We are nev...

Midnight Diner

Japanese drama I recently discovered Midnight Diner on Netflix, a Japanese drama with good reviews in Asia and several seasons available. Although I initially disregarded it for its plain and slow-paced appearance compared to other shows, I eventually found that viewing it requires the right reflective and calm mindset, much like sipping a good cup of Japanese tea. #MidnightDiner     Human stories Human stories form the core of this drama, with each episode featuring a different person's story and a moral waiting to be uncovered. I find the setting particularly fascinating as it features people with different aspirations, social norms, and other cultural aspects that create uniqueness and intrigue. The foreign backdrop further emphasizes characters' emotions, eliminating distractions and arguably makes this drama more engaging. It is remarkable to see how similar human emotions recur in different times and spaces without exception. Core values After watching several episode...
