Curious Corner

Hello, I’m Niranjan Kumar.

Welcome to Curious Corner ! The place to explore everything from science to philosophy, technology to spirituality, arts to mathematics, and everything in between. I’m the the voice behind this blog. Join me on this journey with no bounds.

I have a really wide range of interests, which has often made me feel like an oddball, sometimes unable to fit into social molds. However, to be honest, apart from a few minor instances of identity crises, this has never been a serious trouble to me. Born curious, I was always trying to uncover how and why things work. It began with simple childhood toys, which I would pry open to peek inside, sometimes with my teeth much to my parents’ dismay. This curiosity never left me as I grew up, nor did the million questions in my head about anything and everything. Furthermore this led me on a quest of trying to understand the intricate workings of society, its people, and eventually, the cosmos through the lens of physics. 

On one end, I am captivated by science and technology, and on the other, I am in love with spirituality, two things many consider polar opposites. Nothing excites me more than the promise of science – to bring fiction into reality. And I also love the spiritual journey of inner transformation. My interests span from Artificial Intelligence to Advaita Vedanta, and I love exploring them all. They help me grow as a person and open my mind to new ideas every day. The quest for self-development and personal growth always keeps me motivated. I am also a voracious reader, a habit I picked up during my engineering studies at NSIT, Delhi. I must confess reading changes you profoundly for the better.

This blog is the outcome of my quest for personal growth and self-discovery. It is the end result of my long held desire and my urge –  to write. I have wanted to write for ages, and the more I read, the stronger this urge grew. But, either for my lack of effort or for the fate of my circumstances I never managed to pursue writing seriously. However, the tides of time turned during my MBA journey at IIM-Kozhikode, and things finally changed. I found time to start writing, and although it’s a small step, I hope it marks the beginning of a giant leap.

This journey has made me realize that I love writing and that I would love to keep at it till the end of times. Writing provides a beautiful avenue to explore my interests and my creative self. It allows me to push myself and improve a little bit every day. There is something magical about expressing oneself through words; it is almost a cathartic experience. This special feeling is something I wish to keep forever.

Through this blog, I hope to help others satisfy their curiosity and explore their interests—from the science of Quantum Physics to the spiritual philosophy of Vedanta and everything in between. This way, I can complete the cycle and give back in my own way to the community of writers and readers.
