Golden child syndrome

Golden child syndrome

Golden child syndrome is basically the idea that you should only show love towards your child if it improves or includes their achievement. Why am I picking this topic? Well for one, my parents didn’t know how to raise a child well. Actually, they only realised that their way of dealing with achievements was wrong after coming to England.

Getting our priorities right

Getting our priorities right

A man who served the town an impeccable taste of ‘Taas’ was snatched away by a virus that now robs people of that great flavour. He ran a popular establishment in Narayanghat for decades, and I used to frequent this place for the meat dish. I think to myself, could this misery have been prevented? The answer is, yes, if only our politics knew how to prioritise things.

Child marriage – when will it be over?

Child marriage – when will it be over?

A 12-year-old girl getting married might be unheard of in advanced countries but not in Third World countries like Nepal. Child marriage is immensely practised in Nepal, especially in the rural areas. It may be a tradition in some places, but children are known to flee their homes and get married to escape from their poor socio-economic condition.

Digital technology

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how the world can function using rapidly-evolving digital infrastructure. We learned that remote working can be effective, fintech can be used in the developing world, and that people can receive an education from far away using technology.

How big a vaccine will we need to inject the rhinos? Could we keep the deer in isolation? Yes, it looks like the right time to plan! COVID-19 has already killed more than 3 million people worldwide and is spreading at lightning speed.

Maladaptive daydreaming

Maladaptive daydreaming

How many of us have been so caught up in a vicious cycle of day dreaming that we put a halt to crucial work? Chances are innumerable, right? How about spending countless hours in headspace doing nothing but fantasizing?
