The Nose tale
I happened to visit a jeweller’s shop one (not so fine) day. After some major purchases from my people, the owner of the shop was obviously richer than before but he was greedy for more….He was thinking of ways and means to make our purses more empty and just then he noticed my NOSE.My nose that is small and stout (cannot be called a beautiful Roma... more...

My Temptation
The word ‘Temptation’ can be sinful..It reminds me of Adam and Eve and their temptation that angered God…Satan tries to ‘tempt’ you to do evil things…be sinful and then you are Hell bound..…Ok….so I am also Human and I have been ‘tempted’…tempted by FOOD…my sinful taste buds so used to savouring sumptous foods that the result of which is I do not l... more...

The Train Journey
The scene at the Railway station was chaotic. People pushed their way through the coach doorways. I fumed at the four hour delay the train had already caused and made my way to the second class sleeper coach. The humid and hot weather was draining my energy levels and I was hoping I would have a decent overnight journey to my destination.  I notice... more...

Paradise on Earth
It is rightly said that if you haven’t travelled to places in the journey of life, it is as good as not reading even a single page in the book of life..My journey to the North East left me with memories to treasure for a life time and surely at the end of my trip I felt  likeI have just completed reading the first page in the book of life and still... more...

Bhagvad Gita as Dharma Shastra???
Just read in the TOI today that a High Court Judge has recommended that the Bhagvad Gita be made the national dharma shastra.I am not a scholar of the Gita, and I have only given it a cursory read. Even so, I accept that all the concepts in the Gita are entirely great and inspiring. But I wonder... the Bhagvad Gita is essentially seen as a Hindu bo...  more...

The Negative Side of Positive Thinking
Thoughts are neither negative nor positive. Thoughts just are. What they turn out to be depends on the context. Given a context, thoughts can be realistic or unrealistic; mean or generous; selfish or selfless. Many chronic positive thinkers insist that the glass is half full – do they still remain positive when the glass is half full of polluted wa...  more...

GLOSSARY OF MEDICAL TERMS
  Doctors use many difficult terms to describe a condition. I’m not sure about the exact reasons. The first possibility is he wants to show off to be superior to non doctors.

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change. "By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as m...  more...

In Vaishnava Theology, Hiranyakashipu is the king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Brahma, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside, not on earth or on sky; neither by a man nor an animal;...  more...
