I have a lot of people around me – friends, family and others – and inevitably through discussions on religion or about spirituality, I find that there are a few fundamental problems in their thinking. So here in this series, addressing some of the totally wrong thinking about Spirituality I find in people around me, #1 […]

Importance Of Sant Sangati | संत संगति का महत्व
This article has long been pending. One of the reasons it has been pending so long is because it is pretty vast and I am not sure where to start. But I want to attempt this. In fact that is the purpose of this blog. This blog lets me delve deeper into thoughts which otherwise just […]
Renunciation: A Look At Its Meaning & Associated Myths
Lately I have a new interest – Podcasts. Podcasts aren’t really new to the online space and I am a digital marketeer, but I have just very recently connected with the joy of podcast listening. 😉 It was prompted by a vitamin deficiency driven insomnia. At night, I would lie down and rest my eyes. […]

Of Being Single
I want to share a few thoughts on being single. I mean being single after the typical Indian marriageable age. For most Indian communities “marriageable age” passes once you cross late 20s and early 30s. It has now been a few years since I wrote my ‘How To Be Awesome By 30‘ post, so can safely say […]

Parent:”In India one shouldn’t cycle. The traffic is too risky” Me:”in India one shouldn’t do a lot of things cause it is too risky for eg: crossing the roads” *parent agrees whole-heartedly* From a long time I have been noticing that social acceptance makes people FEEL SAFE. Note that it only makes them feel safe, […]

The villagers forbade him to walk through the nearby jungle because there was a dangerous bandit there. This bandit would […]
