This is my vacation spot :). I just bought a piece of land here. Most likely I’ll just keep it as it is – instead of chopping these trees and building a house there, I’ll just tie a hammock :). Or follow one of the new “green architectures” or “organic architectures” where houses are designed [...]
I came across this interesting story some time ago: One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth [...]
Today India set a new record in history by putting 10 satellites into orbit in one launch. The PSLV-C9 carried two Indian satellites and eight nano-satellites (developed by university students in Canada, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and Netherlands). It’s also become a booming business as well. Wake up NASA (or rather, wakeup US Government).This received exciting [...]
As I was returning from a rural temple, I found these chicken impaled alive and just left there slowly bleeding to death. There are still parts of the globe that have these sort of rituals with the belief that it will appease or ward of evil spirits or something. But how much more cruel is [...]
I just couldn’t resist writing this story! This is a story about a company and the bias of the management towards one person E, at the expense of all others. It can also be treated as a satire as well. It has very common scenarios, but this one beats it all as it incorporates all [...]

That is, how do we say “the world” celebrates new years day when more than half the population doesn’t even recognize it as a significant date/event on their calendar. That is, when over [...]
Detachment or rather the self-control, which is a precursor to detachment, has its rewards. These videos say it all:…As interesting and funny as it is, it is never ceases to amaze me how Western civilization takes the tiniest of things and puts a marketing spin on it. If Indians had the same mindset, they’d be [...]
Modern psychology is very much in its infancy, compared with the science of yoga (see Psychology). We should remember that just hardly three decades ago, the world was following Freudian psychology. Today hardly anyone does. Freudian psychology has been discredited for over two decades now (yet there are countries frozen backward in time where people [...]
Introduction One of the things that distinguishes civilized society from the uncivilized (or for that matter from animals) is the ability to use communication to resolve disputes. The lack of it results in violence, brute-force methods, war, fist fights, trauma, domestic feuds, break-ups, misunderstandings, etc. The ability to have a discussion implies a certain level [...]
