This morning, I wrote the following message to a friend of mine: “Greetings! Thank you for the wonderful meeting. The Platonic statement ‘Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’ becomes meaningless when modified to ‘Ugliness is in the eyes of the beholder.’ Please allow me to introduce my website: www.shitwhole.com. This reflects my soul. […]

OF A MAN WHO LOVED TO LIVE & LIVES TO LOVE – SHYAM
Shyam Verma is a common and passable name IN India. Almost every fifth person in India has a name associated with LordKrishna. “Shyam” is a Sanskrit-based masculine name meaning “dark” or “black.” Thus, Shyam symbolizes the divine dark complexion of Lord Krishna in Hinduism. This name can take different forms such as Syam, Ghanashyam, Shyamasundar […]
SON CAN NEVER REACH THE HEIGHTS OF HIS FATHER
If your father is a great man, then the children are expected to become greater. This is the general understanding and expectation of every parent and the society. But history tells a different story. Consider the following examples: The Ramayana – Lord Rama was one of the greatest mythical personalities. King Dasarath is known as the father of […]
The Sons of Gods
Why do all Gods and other mythological characters of Hinduism have only sons and not daughters? I know you refuse to believe me, but what I am stating is absolutely true. People who only desire male children are described as having a son preference. This attitude is rooted in patriarchal norms, where male children are valued […]
THE QUEEN OF BALLABHGARH – JUSTICE MANISHA BATRA
Forty years ago, on a chilly winter morning, the Queen of Ballabhgarh Manisha asked, “Gopal! Please treat us to tea.” I had the unique honor of being at the Campus Law Centre (CLC) studying for law at the Delhi University. Our ambition was the same – to become good lawyers, weed out corruption, and make […]
OH GOD! MAKE ME IGNORANT

I know that knowledge is a serpent which will surely administer its poisonous bite! Who is Publilius Syrus? (85BC-43BC). He was […]
On Understanding Mobile Phone
A mobile phone these days is more of a status symbol than an instrument that aids communication. Somehow, I feel that we are giving more importance to these instruments than we should. The world has gone crazy! Or is it the People? ‘What? Your phone does not have 200MP back camera and 100MP front camera?’ […]
MY SEARCH FOR GOD
I heard Osho was referring to a beautiful story – ‘My Search for God’, in one of his mesmerizing lectures, written by Rabindranath Tagore. The story is so good that I am stating the same here. Tagore writes: “I have been searching for God, for many, many lives. Once in a while I saw a […]
RESPECTING THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA?
“Respect the Constitution” means upholding the supreme law of the land, honoring its ideals, institutions (like Parliament, Judiciary), and symbols (Flag, Anthem), understanding its role in governance and citizen rights, and practicing democratic values like fraternity, protecting public property, and promoting harmony, as it’s a fundamental duty for citizens in many nations, especially India, to […]
LET THE RAVI SHINE ON RAMANNAPET VILLAGE
While having a haircut, amidst the rice fields on a cold Sunday morning at the farm house, Korutla Ravi, also known as Korutla Ravinder – a barber personified – whispered in my ear gently: “Sir, I want to contest in the elections for our village Sarpanch position”. We all belong to a sleepy village, almost […]
