‘A New Start’ is a part of my ‘Nameless’ series where I don’t include names of any character, place, organization and other such nouns. This is to avoid the unconscious stereotyping that comes with the names. My stories contain no particular religion, race, society or culture. They contains just humans doing the human things.

The room was dark and cramped, power was out for five hours now. The only source of light was a dim flickering lamp post outside her window. Her power backup had given up hours ago. Sweet smell of soil had been replaced by a mild stink as the relentless rain entered its 16th day. Weather was catastrophic all around the country. There was continuous News of floods, waterlogging, and an ever-growing list of causalities. The rich were inconvenienced, the poor terrified, and the Government was overwhelmed. She was none; staring at the ghostly shadows on her wall, made by the periodic lights beaming through the window and the fan, a smile was stamped on her face. Her consciousness was undoubtedly outside the four walls of her small apartment. The temperature was below her comfort level and the thin cover that was blanketing her body was pretty much useless. She was still laying there ignoring the thick blanket lying on the chair, too tired and lost to move, or maybe lazy. Who could blame her though, she deserved this slothfulness.

Internet Trolling

Have you ever felt a strong desire of distributing your unsolicited opinions to virtual beings of social media? After a long hard day, do you get angry because random people are not living their lives the way you want them to? Do you have tendencies of being mean and offensive, even when you are not a bad person?  Brace yourself my friend, you belong to the majority community of the internet.  Every second human, with access to the worldwide web, has a tendency of being a source of hate. Those who don’t believe me don’t use Twitter enough.

So, no apology extended

Are you having a string of strong negative emotions towards the people who are not letting you go out? Do you think Coronavirus is just a scam and it’s not as a big deal as it is made? Do your symptoms include annoyance, yelling, tweeting bullshit, and going into dangerous marches?

My father once shared a saying by a saint with me “If we plant a sapling in the shade of a big tree, it will never grow to the heights it is supposed to. Move that sapling away from the tree’s shade and it will grow up into a bigger tree. These saplings are like children, you have to give them some space and freedom to make them strong, independent and successful.” These lines were something he actually preached because the amount of freedom I got from my parents is unimaginable. In my small life of 28 years, not even once I was told that I can’t do anything because I am a female.

In 2006, when Pluto lost its planet status, we were left with 8 planets. There is a chance that in the near future, the Solar System will be again a nine planet family. There is a Planet Nine hiding in the dark space, way beyond the known planetary boundaries. Here are some interesting facts about the unknown giant planet ‘Planet Nine’:   These eTNOs tend to make their closest approaches to the Sun in one sector, and their orbits are similarly tilted. These improbable alignments suggest that an undiscovered planet (Planet Nine) maybe shepherding the orbits of the most distant known Solar System objects   Planet nine is roughly 13 to 26 times the distance from Neptune to the Sun   The Aphelion would be in the general direction of the constellation of Taurus; whereas the Perihelion would be in the general direction of the southerly areas of Serpens (Caput),…

While most of the objects in the dark sky stay stationary and tiny, we do have some wild and shiny guests from time to time. These glittery cosmic creatures are comets ( ☄ , धूमकेतु ). These not-so-tiny stones catch fire when they come near the Sun and gives us the light show. Here are some interesting facts about the rockstars of our Solar system, Comets:   The coma may be up to 15 times the Earth‘s diameter, while the tail may stretch one Astronomical Unit   The astronomical symbol for comets is ☄, consisting of a small disc with three hairlike extensions   Fear of comets as acts of God and signs of impending doom was highest in Europe from AD 1200 to 1650   Short-period comets originate in the Kuiper belt or its associated scattered disc, which lie beyond the orbit of Neptune. Long-period comets are thought to…

During the creation of the Solar System, the initial Protoplanets went through a lot of collisions. These collisions not only structured the system but also created partners of the planets. These partners are the moons that not only orbit the planets but also stabilise them. Some planets just trapped astronomical objects to orbit around them which became their moons. While the total number of moons in the Solar system is around 200, there are a few who display interesting features. Here are some interesting facts about some fascinating natural satellites aka Moons (Part 2):   The surface area of moon Mimas is slightly less than the land area of Spain   Janus’s mean orbital radius from Saturn is, as of 2006, only 50 km less than that of Epimetheus, a distance smaller than either moon’s mean radius   Spaceprobe Huygens by European Space Agency (ESA) landed on Titan on January 14, 2005,…

During the creation of the Solar System, the initial Protoplanets went through a lot of collisions. These collisions not only structured the system but also created partners of some planets. These partners are the moons which not only orbits the planets but also stabilise them. Some planets just trapped astronomical objects to orbit around them which became their moons. While the total number of moons in the Solar system is around 200, there are a few who display very interesting features. Here are some interesting facts about some fascinating natural satellites aka Moons (Part 1):   19 moons in the solar system are large enough to be gravitationally rounded. They would be considered planetary or dwarf planets if they were in orbit around the Sun   Most irregular moons are less than 10 km (6.2 mi) in diameter Appendix: Prograde Orbit, Retrograde Orbit   There are 2 systems which are…

Our Solar System is not only home to Sun, planets and their moons, and random small objects. There are other more defined structures which needed mention. Here we are talking about the Dwarf planets. Here are some interesting facts about the five recognized dwarf planets:   The term dwarf planet was adopted in 2006 as part of a three-way categorization of bodies orbiting the Sun   Liberal estimates are that another hundred or so known objects in the Solar System may be dwarf planets. The number may exceed 10,000 when objects scattered outside the Kuiper belt are considered   Discoverer of Eris and Makemake, Michael E. Brown, stated that use of the term dwarf planet for a non-planet is “dumb”   Ceres was the first asteroid to be discovered in the Asteroid Belt, thus the minor-planet designation: 1 Ceres   Ceres does not have any natural satellite   Pluto is…
