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. […]
Introduction to the Ashtavakra Gita
The great and well known Bhagavad Gita was a discourse between Arjun and Krishna in the moment of Arjun’s great confusion on the battlefield, while the lesser known but amazing Ashtavakra Gita is between Ashtavakra and Janaka.

A post shared by Priyanka Dalal (@priyankawriting) on Feb 28, 2017 at 6:03am PST I have been pretty over-excited with Adiyogi for a while.

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 […]

Note that it only makes them feel safe, […]
