Enlightening the Blogosphere -- after seven long years.

I first started blogging in the summer of 2004, more than seven years ago. There were a few blogs then but the blogosphere wasn't certainly crowded as it is today. Then, I had some funny stories to tell -- mostly regarding the day-to-day struggles of graduate school. Few months into blogging I ran out of jokes and I stopped it. The original idea of the blog was to relate science to consciousness, spirituality and everything in between -- hoping to unravel the mysteries of the mind and the universe. But soon I had no idea about what I was talking nor could I initiate any meaningful effort even to get the conversation started.

Now, I have the experience of 7 more years and ready to give it a try. Here is a list of topics I wish to address in the coming weeks.
  1. Why do we all ask the question, "What is the purpose of our existence?''
  2. How tiny can small or how mighty can large get to be?
  3. What is common between people with children and people with dogs?
  4. Is there anything spiritual about Quantum Mechanics, given an appropriate definition of "spirituality"?
  5. How can you tell a story without time?
Obviously, I'll be lying if I claim that I won't be making stuff up as we go along. But primarily, all my arguments will be based on the following equations.
