Spin off : NOBODY PROBLEM / invisible problem

As I stood at the edge of the universe, gazing up at the star-studded canvas above, I felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance. Like a tiny speck of dust, my life was but a brief flicker in the grand tapestry of time. My name is……Umm. What was my name again? Oh yeah Prabhat, so my Name is Prabhat and I'm still searching for answers to the most profound questions: Who am I? What's the purpose of existence? And where's this elusive soulmate I've been chasing for what feels like an eternity?


As a self-proclaimed science enthusiast (okay, maybe that's a stretch), I devoured books on astrophysics and cosmology, hoping to find solace in the vast expanse of the universe. My friends would often tease me about my "space obsession," but I couldn't help it – there was something about the mysteries of black holes that resonated deep within me.


I remember the first time I encountered the concept of a black hole. It was like being hit by a ton of cosmic bricks – suddenly, everything made sense (or at least, as much sense as anything can make when you're trying to comprehend the unfathomable). The gravitational pull warps spacetime, creating an event horizon from which nothing escapes? Mind-blowing! My mind swirled with questions: What lies beyond that point of no return? Are we just tiny, insignificant droplets in the grand ocean of existence?


As I delved deeper into the world of black holes, I discovered the Ergosphere – a region around a rotating black hole where gravity becomes so strong it can extract energy from objects. My thoughts wandered to my own life: Was I being drained by the gravitational pull of societal expectations? Or was I simply unable to find my place in the universe?


One evening, while sipping coffee at a quaint café, I stumbled upon an article about Hawking Radiation – the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation due to quantum effects. The more I read, the more I felt like I was trapped in some sort of cosmic Groundhog Day: reliving the same questions over and over, with no escape from the gravitational pull of uncertainty.


I turned to my friend, an imaginary one, maybe not, a literature buff with a passion for philosophy (she's the only person who can make me understand the nuances of Nietzsche). "Hey, have you ever felt like you're trapped in a never-ending cycle?" I asked her. She smiled knowingly and handed me a book by Albert Camus: _The Myth of Sisyphus_. As I read those words – "One must imagine Sisyphus happy" – something inside me clicked.


That night, as the stars twinkled above, I realized that my quest for answers wasn't about finding the truth; it was about embracing the beauty of the unknown. Just like black holes warping spacetime, life is full of twists and turns. We're all just tiny particles in an infinite universe, trying to make sense of our own existence.


As I gazed out at the cosmos, I felt a strange sense of liberation – like I'd finally escaped the gravitational pull of my own uncertainty. For the first time, I began to see that perhaps, just perhaps, I was exactly where I needed to be: searching for answers in the vast expanse of the universe.


And so, my journey begins. With each step forward, I'll navigate the complexities of science, literature, and philosophy – and maybe, just maybe, find a soulmate who shares my passion for the unknown. After all, as the great Carl Sagan once said: "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known."


But that's a story for another chapter...
