Curious Herald

  Hi there, new poetry book is finally out on Amazon! How are you dear reader?  It’s a very cliché question but rightfully so this deserves it’s own place. It’s still the best opener for a conversation or even for a small talk. Yet, this question matters. Everybody answers “I’m fine.”, for this question, but quite often, there’s always something which keeps this mind of ours restless. That doesn’t necessarily translate to everything being in ruins with no hope.  The same doesn’t translate to saying that “I’m fine.” is a very bland response. It is all about opening up, in my opinion. Making the person who answers, feeling a safe space to share things. That’s it. I’m fine, is really a good way to start things, though one may not really be fine.  That is what makes this question, “How are you?” an impactful question. We are not any therapist, but at the end, this is a question that questions us that how we actually are feeling.  This can also be taken in a funny wa...

What if the world of science wasn’t built in silence… but amidst pure chaos? A ball falls while an apple drops and a cat simply walks past through the scene. And somewhere in between, humanity keeps trying to explain everything.

 Hi and Lo! (To y'all and to a special person) You're literally the reason why I still run this thing. Sounds cliche, but it's what keeps me going. Math never lies.  Following the spirit of the last episode of the freshly restarted Ramayana Series...

 Ramayana Series Episode 7 is live online! If you've been an ardent reader of this blog, but are not aware of the YouTube channel,  There's a series that I've been running since the dawn of 2022, titled 'Ramayana - The Epic Series'.

Ramayana Series is finally back with Episode 6, which is not a sequel but rather a special episode!  So, sit back, relax on the occasion of Gudi Padwa, and enjoy the retelling of Ramayana. The video is rendered in 4K... 

Stories will be back on Curious Herald after a long hiatus. I had posted more poetic pieces lately, and honestly, I enjoyed writing them. But Curious Herald was always built not just on poetry, but also on stories, strange ideas, adventures, questions, and worlds created out of imagination.

  Unknown Simulation What happens when science proves that our living is someone else's simulation, or someone's generosity? Is generosity a simulation? Why should we be thankful if someone is generous? No, I don't want to parch your brain, yet, this piece delves upon these interesting questions.

  Priceless Presents. Christmas has quietly come and gone. Some markets made gains via unique offers. Festivals, as we know bring joy. But what makes it joyful? Are the systems that we created really meant to create prosperity?

What happens in courts? There's a case, lawyers debate, a judge decides, there's evidences and a guilty. Everybody thinks they got the spotlight. But who's really running the show? What is binding a case and makes it successful?

Cover page of the book launched on Amazon :) What happens when a generation raised on infinite scroll tries to find finite meaning? Loopy Chaos  isn't some great Shakespeare stuff.  No flowery verses about sunsets . This is what gets written at 2 AM when the  algorithm won't let you sleep.  

Who doesn't love imagination?  Those childhood vacations, when one hour felt like an entire lifetime and one night felt like a paradise in dreams, are just too good to imagine.  Often themes of romance coincide with, s tarry nights and shooting stars.  What if we bring such an imagination to this era of scrolls, when the night sky in top tier cities is full of light pollution? 

This is a work of Satire on modern 'cash crop' outlets and is meant to be taken in a fun manner.  What happens when a Karate master who is tired after training, sips a cup of Latte? I've put some of these weird thoughts, in form of a poem... that'll probably make you react with a smirk, probably.

I love writing poems, and often call myself a 'poet' to be cool. I don't write flowery proses like Shakespeare, because apparently I'm a different person with my own style, right people? I get a thought, which I simply jot down on this online manuscript.   It sometimes reaches you, sometimes not,

We've read a lot of poems in our pastime, or atleast a few boring ones that schools often prompt us to read and remember. Those verses of Shakespeare? They aren't awful. We just never felt them, for the textbooks were nonetheless, boring...

04.10.2025 Hello Everybody, Following my recent update on Pradhyumna Nittala (my personal blog), I wanted to formally welcome you to Curious Herald , which is now evolving into a space for both new thought-provoking stories and in-depth poems .

Manas and Tejas, two mutual friends, one believing intellect, while one was a muscle guy. One day, they both from the vicinity of their natives during summer vacations have a short conversation on a phone call. What do you think is the conclusion of this phone call? Another argument, or a glimpse of friendship?

Inspired by a Real Haunted Incident   Disclaimer: This is not a true story and is a pure inspired work of fiction. If there has been any mention of real names or places, it was pure coincidence. Enjoy this work, horror enthusiasts! What a start it is... Let's see how it ends.

Curious Herald (previously known as FUN WITH STORIES!) is almost nearing 6 years old. But what exactly is its purpose? The following piece of work illustrates the true vibe of Curious Herald, while it also expresses the quietly needed absurdity and ambiguous chaos we all equally love!

  Manas, Tejas, and Bruzo: The Day They Faced the Witch at the Park Some friendships are built on similarity. The dangerous ones are built on contradiction. Manas and Tejas were best friends, though nobody truly understood how.

There lived two boys - X and Y. They had been natural friends since childhood, relying on each other's support due to their vastly different yet complementary qualities. X possessed a fit, wrestler-like physique, always believing that physical strength was the greatest asset.
