I read an interesting article a few months back. It had a central thought – what if we aren’t the first advanced civilization on Earth? Before you go about dismissing these claims based on “lack of evidence”, here is what the article had to say… The oldest expansive patch of surface is the Negev Desert in southern …
I was watching a series earlier this month…its a story set in 2005. What comes to your mind when you think of 2005? Surely does not seem 21 years back at first glance does it? In fact, we are closer to 2035 than we are to 2005 – but our minds somehow think it the …
This came up because I just had a questionable plate of paneer:)) It’s not enough being vegetarian. No sir. In some parts of the world, you have to specify – no meat, no fish. No chicken even. Yes, vegetables. Yes mushroom. No no, I can eat diary – I am not vegan. Confusing. Restaurant menus …
I had written this a while back, and revisited it today. There are many paths to where you want to go, I’m on my way there too, so that you know… I walk the thorny bushes, you chose the flowery avenue Only cacti on my path, yours is filled with morning dew… I can’t stop, …
An eventful Sunday. Visit House of Prose twice, first time to select books to purchase, and the second time because they wanted cash instead of a card, and I didn’t have any on me. Needless to say, I went on to purchase more the second time around, and walked away satisfied with a good haul. …

And so Laghupatakana said “Dear Hiranyaka… सतां साप्तपदं मैत्रम् इत्य् आहुर् विबुधा जनाः ।तस्मात् त्वं मित्रतां प्राप्तो वचनं मम तच् छृणु ॥ ४८ ॥ satāṃ sāptapadaṃ maitram ity āhur vibudhā janāḥ |tasmāt tvaṃ mitratāṃ prāpto vacanaṃ mama tac chṛṇu || 48 || The wise say that a friendship is developed even if one walks seven steps with …
There are artists, and then there are artists. For today’s generation, it is hard, almost impossible, to imagine a world without the internet – without the screens that surround us, without the constant stream of information that begs for a scrolling. Why them, even for someone like me, who grew up in the 80s and …
Here is something to try in the morning. The first thing in the morning, after you wake up. Think of three things that you want accomplished during the day. Not just think, but visualise yourself completing these three tasks – and the reward that possibly follows. For example, lets say that the three tasks that …
Time and tide wait for no man. I can understand time, but why does tide appear in this phrase? Any ideas? Say say? Ok for those who don’t know it, tide WAS time back in the day (14th century) when this phrase was first coined by Chaucer. “Will see you at low tide” was probably …
