Imagine this painting made into the written word and a novel. Imagine all those colors splashed on a canvas with the respective force of each thought. Imagine every kind of mental stimulation you experience in the day is a color. And you somehow manage to muster enough mental bandwidth to watch and absorb all of them.

And you'll find stimulations ranging from Dark to Game of Thrones to The Big Bang Theory in the background while you are working on a mature psychology assignment. Then you look for entertainment on various OTT platforms. And each of them has a vast sensational life of their own. You come across ten kinds of people, with ten kinds of maturity level, personalities, and opinions. You start with your classes/work from home. Then some quote about motivation or success, another about relationships, and suddenly a gory post about a sinister crime in some corner of the national capital. Then there will be a photograph of the sunset and pebbles by your newly christened freelancer photographer friend. After the pandemic, most of them have shifted into the digital realm, but the variety is still overwhelming.Įarly morning, you see memes from one American, one English, one Australian, and five Indian pages on your Instagram feed. Perhaps the most striking feature of modern lives is the sheer variety of sensations and perspectives that we encounter in a day.
