The Battle of the Unknown

A Mystic Adventure Unfolds

By: Pranav Krishna

As human civilisation progressed, more and more destruction occurred at the hands of these advanced humans. Mother Nature, in turn, struck back. Disasters became more common, to the point where, by the year 2500, Mother Nature reclaimed almost everything! These disasters eventually stopped. Humans had once again become primitive and then they started to rebuild. They started small, building villages, then towns, markets, cities, and slowly, countries. Some countries became massive empires, like the Caracal Empire, which conquered the Middle East, the Caucasus, Southern Europe, and North Africa. But, in the region called ‘Anatolia’, a lycanthrope, Vandalitser, was born. He was trained in advanced magic, and eventually built an empire, stretching from Western Europe to Japan:“The Vandalitserian Empire” and rediscovered old human technology to create a colossal virus army. It is year 3020. A peaceful afternoon of a remote village in Japan is shattered by the attack of the Demons. It’s up to the two young Ninjas, Kei and Tai along with their Sensei to stop these attacks and annihilate these demons and the evil wizard Vandalitser, who wishes to have suzerainty over the world! Will the young Ninja’s be able to stop this Wizard?

Turiya - The Fourth

Chronicles of Accession

By: Pranav Krishna

The cosmic centre of the universe - Mount Kailasha, and the full moon night of Sheetkaleen Aayanaat that happens once in decades sets the premise of the events that come into play. Inspired by the Bhagwad Gita and Vedic Literatures, the novel Turiya - The Fourth is a story about a clan led by a mystic called Abhirakshak (possessor of the mighty powers). They are a secret group disguised in the real world. One of them is a renowned professor who designs an intricate maze to protect Shakti Yantra, an alien instrument that gives superhuman powers to its possessor, and an ancient book of secrets about universal occult powers, from the evil powers of the darkness. Accession of the Shakti Yantra to become Abhirakshak can only be done at a specific geographical location, within a precise astrological timeframe. It requires a man to sustain his meditative self in the fourth state of mind called Turiya to experience and control highly unsettling powers of the Yantra. In this chase many incredible, lethal weapons and cosmic powers come into play. Will the good prevail over the evil? Can the evil master be stopped in his tracks from gaining access over the mighty Shakti Yantra? What cost will be paid to fight the battle of survival for humanity? Answers to these riddles lie in this book that unravels an incredible tale of mysteries and events in the game of power accession.

Fallen Few

Together they lived and died together…

By: Capt Pranav Prasoon Thakur (Retd)

God made humans and humans made boundaries… partitioned everything… land into countries, country into states, state into regions, region into societies, and society into religions and castes. My wishes, my dreams, my desires; me and only me, and no one else, is what they fight for. India and ‘Indianness’ are meaningful to only a handful today. Seventy long years after independence, things have changed and the priorities too. Mutiny by Mangal Pandey, Inquilab of Bhagat Singh, and Vande Matram of India then, is restricted to museums, libraries, and a few parallel movies today. In a few colleges, on their graduation day, a song plays in their background, and the final year students graduate. "Papa kehtey hai bada naam karega…beta hamara aisa kaam karega… magar ye toh koi na janey ki meri manzil hai kahan…" (My father said that I'll make him proud by doing a great job. However, nobody knew where I was headed.) And these men have brought tears in the eyes of their father when they touched their father’s feet in the olive-green uniform. Soon, all of them have sacrificed their lives but no one cared, no repose. They were not the sons of a lesser father or stars of a lesser sky; they were also a part of young India but had a higher passion and devotion for their Mother Nation. They were the soldiers of 'Mother India'. They were the 'Fallen Few – The Chosen Ones.

Perils of Information Age

By: Pranav Prabhash

Inexpensive data storage and computational capabilities, together with the internet, have ushered in the Information Age, providing tremendous benefits that we are reaping with great success. However, there are negative side effects of easily available abundant information from diverse sources. Information has fostered a plethora of knowledge subjects that are not all equal. Vulnerabilities of the scientific method are getting exposed more often and thereby eroding science’s credibility with the general public. Our mental capacity has limitations in dealing with the quantity and variety of the information overload. Far from being just a criticism, Perils of Information Age is an intellectual trip based on thought experiments, head-smacking experiences, and curious observations. It lays out a structured framework that outlines how to assess and deal with the perils of Information Age—the impotency of certain college majors and academic training, the junk science behind statistical studies analyzing complexity, the analysis-paralysis of data analytics, and increasing strain on our cognitive abilities.

Upgrading Fiscal Frameworks in Asia-Pacific

By: Enrique Flores,Pranav Gupta,Miss Yinqiu Lu,Mr. Paulo A Medas,Dinar Prihardini,Hoda Selim,Weining Xin,Mr. Masafumi Yabara

This paper seeks to guide the reform of fiscal frameworks in Asia-Pacific in the context of calls for a more active fiscal policy in a shock-prone world. It highlights that the cost of fiscal support is large and that fiscal frameworks, including fiscal rules, are being put to the test given the sharp increase in debt, high interest and weaker growth prospects. The stress is only compounded by long-term challenges like aging populations, climate change and the need to deliver on the sustainable development goals. In this context, it is timely to review the effectiveness of fiscal policy in Asia-Pacific and seek for ways to strengthen fiscal frameworks. After the global financial crisis, fiscal policy in Asia-Pacific became more countercylical and stronger than in other regions—especially in advanced economies. The paper shows that the degree of countercyclicality has been asymetric, with larger responses during periods of weak growth, and in particular in response to large shocks—the global financial crisis and the pandemic. It highlights that responses to the pandemic were large and used a wide range of tools, and how fiscal and monetary policy complemented each as they responded to large shocks. It looks into the deterioration of debt dynamics in Asia-Pacific, as public debt has been rising persistently across most countries driven by declining growth and rising deficits—particualrly after the global financial crisis for advanced economies and after the pandemic for emerging market and low income countries. The paper reviews fiscal frameworks across Asia-Pacific, including the use of fiscal rules, medium-term fiscal frameworks, and fiscal councils. It describes the characteristics of fiscal rules, which usually focus on debt and budget balances and are set by law but tend to lack well-specified enforcement mechanism or escape clauses. It highlights that compliance with the rules has worsened following the pandemic as—in contrast with the outturns before the pandemic--Asia-Pacific countries tend to show larger deviations relative to other regions. It also shows that despite the increase adoption of medium-term fiscal frameworks in Asia-Pacific forward guidance has been hampered by the lack of binding targets and ex-post analysis. Moreover, they do not seem to have resulted in better macro-fiscal forecast in part due to weak capacity and enforcement, lack of integration with the annual budget, and exposure to shocks—with risk analysis mostly limited to qualitative discussions. Proposed reforms seek to implement a comprehensive, risk-based approach to public finances. They focus on strengthening the medium-term orientation of fiscal policy through credible medium-term fiscal plans, fiscal rules linked to the medium-term strategy and the annual budgets, and a stronger reliance on fiscal councils. They also emphasize the need for a broader view of the public sector as fiscal policy is being conducted through multiple channels, which requires assessing and managing vulnerabilities and a significant improvement in fiscal statistics. They also address aging and climate change by focusing on assessing large intergenerational trade-offs, reporting on long-term debt dynamics, and on green medium-term fiscal frameworks that incorporate the effects of climate change and climate policies.
