File #000375 from GENERAL PUBLIC INFO-CATION from The Library of The Public Affairs Agency

The Silikonspiegel (abbrv. SPG; term popularised by Dr. Louis Schattner), colloquially known as The Fog has become apparent to humanity around the year 465 c.a.
The fog has been a subject of wide discussion for around a century now not just because it conceals what lies beyond but because of its unique ability to corrode electronic devices.
Under numerous atomic spectrometric trials, SPG showed traces of an unidentified element. This element (further referred to as 'the element') has been hypothesised to be the culprit of the deterioration of electronic devices using integrated circuit chips.
Various scientists have theorised that the element has an affinity to silicium (silicon) though some argue that the element is a mere catalyst that renders silicium useless.
A widely regarded hypothesis stands that the element has a weaker affinity to carbon yet has no effect on the biological carbon.
The origin of the fog has been subject to various speculations. Yet it is still not established. Some ecologists argue that nature has one united consciousness and the fog is its response to the growing abyss between mankind and nature. Though widely believed among the general public, the fog is not an activity of any anti-tech terrorist organisation.
The fog is dangerous. SPG Patrol squads have reported sightings of unspecified entities that have not yet been scientifically recognised by The Sentient life & Biology Agency.
The Cosmopolitan Movement Agency under the authority of Major Global Coalition (abbrv. M.G.C.) strictly prohibits movement of groups less than 30 registered members for distances exceeding 10 kilometres. Individuals who do not obey and/or are not registered by the M.G.C. will be executed on sight by the SPG patrol squads.
Above is a photograph widely known as 'The Last Photograph', a picture of a fog-laden basketball court circa 470 c.a. This picture interweaves the philosophy about the relation between the nature of fog and the long-forgotten spirit of human activity. Note that the colour in the picture has been depleted. Whether it was an artistic decision by the author (unknown) or an effect of the fog on carbon ash that was widely in use during the time this picture was produced on paper is not known.

what's better than one egg?

( Credits : Divyansh Charan and myself) I am not one to reminisce my love for things. Well, at least, I was not.  Lately, I feel a heightened sense of curiosity into the daily-life affairs, and the trivialities. And I have come to the temporary conclusion that these trivialities add a flavourful nuance to life. Though I wouldn't step down my pedestal of thoughtful labeling to call eggs trivial, it would be comical to not discuss eggs when we are talking about nuance. An egg is one of the most versatile ingredients that could do anything from adding a unique texture to sticking to your throat as you swallow. The latter being a hurdle to many while having an egg, it doesn't cause me much discomfort in enjoying one. "But why are you saying this now?" This cascade of thoughts started when I ordered a boiled egg in my college canteen. I was so pleased and gleeful as I was served an egg with a soft and delicate yellow yolk. See, this canteen I eat at is not a p...

The Subjective "High"

Good Morning, Lately, I was wondering about the impact of psychedelia on artistic potential of an individual. But before approaching that analysis, one should examine the impact of the subjective "high" that one attains. When one hits the spot- I usually see it as a distortion of reality. That one goes on to stop bothering about the usual, the trivial, i.e. the reality around them.  For people wondering, I'm not on drugs. I feel like puking. This is disjointed. Does this make sense (to the sane, same minds of people not experiencing this)? I don't know.  The boundaries that reality drew around them choose to get erased yet return so elegantly. It's the most painful experience ever. The return of reality. I feel that's why individuals who are high choose to stay high as it is excruciatingly painful to become aware of the reality, again. Yet again, they choose to attain that high via substance or non-substance abuse. But this time, your brain got used to it. It ...
