Lost in Space
I always wanted to be an astronaut, to go see what outer space felt like. The charm of adventure. I thought I might become a NASA Intern or an Astronaut, or if not that, maybe get a Job as an Astrophysicist there. Those privileges are just for US Citizens, I came to know when I actually applied for it. Well that's a sad story. Isn't it? I guess anything happens, happens for the best. It turns out now I'm in my Final Year of Medical School. So, I have my break going on before the classes start for Final Year, and I started watching this series on Netflix; Lost in Space, which has three seasons. I got done with one season and onto the second one now. It made me wonder, is going into space worth the try or is it just a wish which comes with more cons than pros. Risks at the hand of passion? That season made me love Earth and realize how ungrateful we are for it.

BLACK HOLES AND GALAXIES COEXISTED IN EARLY UNIVERSE
Like a lot of folks my age, the first time I heard the term “Black Hole” was because of the 1979 Disney film with that title. It was kind of a “me-too” version of Star Wars and Star Trek, the critics panned it, and nobody seems to remember it anymore.
