 Not much to write about it. It was but a summary and satires in the life and works of Nietzsche . Perhaps one day when I drown myself in the work of thee will I get it all. A glance at the internet , there is not much clarity in what he meant.  My time has not yet come either, some are born posthumously. Perhaps even now, his time is far from near. Or perhaps he is what he wished to be a man of contradiction . (talking about Zarathustra ) there is contradiction in every word he utters  I still have yet to read his major works. What beliefs will I be made to think twice I wonder... 

“ Pity thwarts the whole law of evolution, which is the law of natural selection . It preserves whatever is ripe for destruction ; it fights on the side of those disinherited and condemned by life; by minting life in so many of the botched of all kinds, it gives life itself a gloomy and dubious aspect.” A scary thought. When some philosophers argue that pity is the basis of all morality it seems bold if not devilish to say not to have any pity at all, yet I cannot see myself completely denying Nietzsche . If not for pity perhaps we would be stronger ( if weakness begets weakness the strong should also beget strength, if not is it truly strong? ), it is through pity that  the weak survive, it is through it that they deny natural selection and will perhaps overtake the strong, albeit just through their number. But it is imperative for us to look at the wider picture. What is truth, is that humans are weak creatures. There are strong ones no doubt, but no comparison to the predators ...

    Friedrich Nietzsche is a prevalent name in the field of philosophy. When I decided to buy a book for myself, I decided his book should be it. However, I knew that without proper understanding reading major works would not be effective. It would be like watching the final movie without watching any other, albeit the books are not continuation of each other.  By going through the internet I decided upon Twilight Of The Idols , to be the first step to reading his other major works like Thus Spoke Zarathustra . But boy oh boy was i not prepared for the challenges of the book.  I consider myself fluent in English, but the book was  huge on another level. In the earlier chapters I searched for the meaning for 2-3 words every 2 pages. Although, by the end of the book it became a bit easier to grasp. Similarly for anyone thinking of reading this book, you should also be prepared that it does not have a structure you are familiar with. Rather than a story, essay or ...

I read  Freakonomics  in the recommendation of my economics professor. The topics presented in  Freakonomics  were indeed pretty unique. Analysis of different situations in society were conducted through the lenses of an economist. The same energy was carried over by the authors in the book  Super Freakonomics . However, I found it less concerned with economics and more concerned with glazing people and new technologies that have come to be over the years, especially the later chapters of the book. This did not sit well with me. Most of the content in both  Freakonomics  and  Super Freakonomics  were, in my opinion, not relevant. However, the author at early in the book made us aware of the lack of unifying theme in the text, it still did not sit right with me when more of the words were spent understanding techs, advancements or people behind it then actually analyzing what was actually going on. At the end, although there were some interest...

Unleashing Nepal  by Sujeev Shakya provides a comprehensive explanation of different governments’ economic stances on the economics of Nepal at their respective times, and how different facets of Nepali society have led us to where we are. Through his interesting observations (like how kings believed development was not a necessity but their grace toward their subjects, and how a similar attitude has been passed down to bilateral donors ) we can begin to understand various present situations, from simple delays in projects involving international parties to our geopolitical image. Although Shakya’s book has a bright cover, most chapters explore the rather grim reality of Nepali society and its economic conditions. Shakya claims to be ultra-optimistic in his book and presents us with many great opportunities he believes Nepal is missing out on. Additionally, considering that it was written more than five years ago, he seems to have hit the mark on multiple sectors where Nepal is ...
