I had written this a while back, and revisited it today. This was when I was watching Farzi on Prime (Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi) – seems inspired from Breaking Bad and the likes. But interesting and well-acted. Vijay plays the righteous cop and Shahid the counterfeiter who always has a justification for his actions …

I was watching a series of videos earlier today…it’s 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 …

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. Edgar Allen Poe I never removed anyone from my life, they all died in the accident of trust. Fyodor Dostoevsky As friendships grow closer, conflict becomes more difficult to avoid. And this is often a good thing. Because the closer we get to each other’s hearts, …

Did you know that photons of light have no color, sound waves have no sound, olfactory molecules have no odors, and food molecules have no taste? The greenness of the trees, the blueness of the sky, the smell of that freshly baked pastry and the taste of that homemade pie are all created inside your …
What is Puja? A question asked by a colleague from a different faith. Normally, it’s quite easy to explain – Puja is a ritualistic offering to a deity – is what you would probably get from Google or AI. But is it? Here is an explanation from WisdomLib: Pūjā (पूजा) is usually translated as “worship”. …
