Its as if a light appeared, just as the darkness seemed to descend. That’s how it feels after reading this book recently. God is not Dead by Amit Goswami. The central theme is God, and Quantum Physics. Doesn’t seem related, right? Well it is and isn’t in a sense. The reality is that materialism ( love…

Perfection
Perfection cant be defined. It cant be understood. It cant be achieved possibly, was what i thought. You only have a sense of it. An inkling that this might be it. The Perfect Thing. The Perfect One. And all your life you keep on waiting for it. Until you give up, and settle for something…
Continue ReadingEncounter with a cold: perspectives
Recently i had a bout of illness. The usual cold and cough, that affects 11/10 people i guess 😉 . But this one was special in its duration, and the kind of thoughts it inspired in me. I was in the usual eat-sleep-eat routine, but i did get some time to think on the whole…
Continue ReadingConcept of Souls
I finally watched Before Sunrise, a movie from 1995. More so, due to some constant banter about the same from the guy next door. And well, apart from being a love story, it is also a continuous story. One of the dialogues of the movie goes something like this, “Some thousands of years ago, there…

Unbelievable. Now that’s a word, we do frequently use. It’s amazing how things are programmed into our genetic structure. The concept of an entity, more supreme than us, the God, is also a kind of genetically mapped belief. Almost everyone around the world shares such a belief (with the exception of now growing atheists group)….

Something about the way things are around me, seems to nag me always. Society as i see it, seems so imperfect. Its hard to believe it exists. I write about it frequently. But mostly i used to point out the issues. I did not have an answer. I still do not have an answer on…
Continue ReadingWe, the people : Divided and United
We, the people. We, who are more divided, than united. United by the race, by the religion, or by the caste and yet these are also the dividing factor, which weighs down more upon us. We have not tried to live for improving our life, but rather for matching and bettering the neighbour’s life. The…

Today is Our Independence Day. India’s Independence Day. 62 years back, this very day, we got our independence from the British. Yet we are still not really free. We are bound by Land, by territory. I am not so well versed with the politics, and country related stuff, but still a small crazy thought floats…
Continue ReadingUnderstanding Spirituality
Lately I have tried to get a essence of spirituality as I feel it. One idea that was quite captivating was that of a glass or a cup. Spirituality for me has become like a cup with unlimited capacity. Whenever I do anything at all, from waking up in the morning to thinking some strange…

I just dont know, what led to this thought. But it was in my head, one fine morning!! And it has made its presence felt now and then. If rephrased, can any person do something, so critical, however small it maybe, that it can impact the world. Imagine a situation in which perhaps Osama Bin…
