Black Mirror - Quiet jarring, yet reflective piece of work

​

I've been following this TV series for a while. And, more than the idea of dystopian future, realizations of the characters, there's another, very important concept quiet literally in the title - Black Mirror.

This show acts as a subtle mirror towards the audience as well. The feelings, anger, hatred one might feel through the episodes of this series, often went unnoticed for myself, but I was able to observe it for the characters. After the introduction to Vedanta, I've started catching that aspect of the life as well, even while consuming content, and, especially this series is directed with that in mind.

Mirror - The most important EDC ("everyday carry")

The mirror to self - which we always have with us, but the fat ego choses to ignore and at times even starts finding faults in them.

Some choose to turn the reflection into self hatred, or guilt, which in itself fattens the ego.

But, how do we really catch the ego in "the act"? Well, I like to frame it akin to watching a movie, without any layer of haze. Or, a parent looking at their naughty child with a silent smile.

And, nothing else can initiate the observation except the honest ego. Eventually, it becomes second nature.

Short poem loosely based on Acharya ji's DD National session from today, 8th August 2026

https://preview.redd.it/7evzrhmlh2ih1.jpg?width=2448&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d1922e329e5df484ea03fd8d05087a35a06b682

Born of Prakrati an innocent,

Let the world paint me as they wish,

Someday I start to paint myself, isn’t that a bit fallacious,

Who have I become? Who am I? Seem to have quiet forgotten,

So, I keep painting and painting, in hopes some answers I get,

But all effort goes down the drain, my hunger’s a bottomless pit,

The mirror of self was in my sight, but the vision’s just too myopic,

In hopes of filling this endless pit, burned down the planet in the end.

The Equivalence Between Science and Nishkama Karma

https://preview.redd.it/vyjfjyssh6gh1.png?width=768&format=png&auto=webp&s=bdacdb11c578b26fa288ace73d439eedf15010bb

The scientific methods of experimentation involves:

Preparation, Process ( action ), end-to-end observations and results.

This is followed by analyzing the results through critical thinking and facts, and if necessary, repeating the experiments again and again through a feedback loop.

Whole process is devoid of EGO of the scientists and in fact, it is highly encouraged to not let EGO interject throughout.

---

The methodology appears exactly similar to the principle of Nishkama Karma from Lord Krishna and rather explains them further:

>Peform actions without caring for the results, don't let fruits of result determine your actions or inaction.

When applied the same scientific process to the inner self, ego disappears and clarity remains.

Introspection throigh Truth Without Apology

I've been going over and utilizing this wonderful mirror to self for daily introspection. I utilize a small notion template for myself which consists of:

Concept:

[MENTION THE CHAPTER TITLE, FOLLOWED BY TITLE GIVEN BY U - this ensures that we atleast understand the contents through our own lens ] - followed by a simple line of explaination

e.g Sleepwalking through Through Life | Programmed NPC behavior

Personal observation - Raw data:

[List down the observations in actions, thoughts, emotions etc which are related to the concept mentioned above]

e.g I saw a wonderful ad on social media, so, I bought the item without a single conscious thought of my own

Potential solution to improve ( This is ever changing and evolving with more knowledge ):

e.g Whenever I feel I want to buy something, I take some time, postpone it for future and actually introspect on whether that product or service is really required, what's specifically driving my desire.

This method has immensely helped me.

A Reminder to Protestors from Concerned Citizen

For those who were part of the march to Parliament. Don't be surprised when you fail the Background check wherever u join in the future. And the cops are more dangerous when situation becomes peaceful, some of you can and will face their wrath. These parties won't come to save u, they'll save their own.

And remember, young minds are susceptible to suggestions, develop the ability to sit back, think clearly, bide for time, stay peaceful and don't go if you don't have police permission.

Every year, students end their lives after bad marks, question your parents as well, with the same vigor you're questioning the government, on why they're forcing you to give exams, on why can't you follow your own passion.

If you want to fight system, you'll have to use their rules and beat them at their own games. Want a solution? Sure, ask me. Just don't mess ur future.

And, you might have lots of anger, I support your demands. But, make sure to say clear headed in front of enemies, plan carefully, become strong. If you're weak internally or externally, you'll never get justice.

Hello Students, hope you're doing well in your curriculum and life.

I've observed people worrying about whether they'll land a job in future.

I'm saying thing as an Alumni of DTU who learn this the hard way after 5 years of experience in Deep Tech. Gather in groups and contact VC and good innovative professors for the following and you'll see DTU rise and shine:

Setup 500 teams of students in each university, fund them, let them solve real world problem statements in diff domain, even figuring out engineering and manufacturing of small components like will be a win. Don't stay limited to single domain like CS, diversify and actually BUILD.

Make them compete, improve as a collective rather than group of individuals, put ego aside. Have them connect with industry experts who'll mentor them.

Award degree after they make significant progress. Don't take exams for them, engineers is supposed to be doing this rather than filling pages with worthless crap.

In that process, they'll learn and actually innovate.

You guys have protested before for your rights, that was good, but this time, propose to make university a hub of engineering through your CRs and pther representatives.

You see a job saturation, I see opportunities and industry begging for such individuals. When you apply for job with just a CV, it has little value. But, when you do it with actual experience behind you, you apply as engineers and not some 'potential candidate'.

REMEMBER: This requires patience and discards preconceived notion, but is the reality.

Punjab's constituent assembly passes draconian "THE PUNJAB PREVENTION OF OFFENCES AGAINST HOLY SCRIPTURES BILL, 2025" which declares sacrilege a non-bailable offence with punishment from 10 years to life imprisonment.

Since it's a non bailable offence, anyone with a small agenda against someone can just use it to have us prosecuted by the state.

It all started with Rangeela Rasool in 1924.

Same was the case of Karnataka's hate speech bill: https://prsindia.org/files/bills_acts/bills_states/karnataka/2025/Bill79of2025KA.pdf

Why shouldn't I be allowed to criticise backwards practices of ALL religions?
