Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky have written in length about human bias. How we make decisions and how biased we are.
Today is Dussehra, a Hindu festival. I am missing my parents and food. My brain is taking a tour of the past.
Another instance, flashlights at the back of an auto made me miss Mumbai.
Walking on the crowded Koramangala street, the smell of scent reminded me of a friend.
Are these mere coincidence?
Aren’t all these are things of the past?
Why is my brain acting trippy and taking me to memory lane?
Is it because our brain is super lazy, does not like making much calculation.
Does it like to be on autopilot?
