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 […]

DAY 1 PUNE, 21ST MAY 2000, 9.30AM, SUNDAY WELCOME TO NIA

Reached Pune Railway station in one piece, after having spent a dreadful night in utter terror with those two specimens in the train. It is generally said that one could smell the rat from a mile away. I could smell the rotten stink of figures and their positive and negative variations from a berth away. […]

My Birthday

Every Second My Birthday & Every Breath My Death

20th August? Yet another birthday? Shit! What the f**k is going on? How old am I now? I strongly believe and hence it is fair to say that I do not celebrate birthdays. No “Happy Birthday to you” song, no cake cutting, no candle flame extinguishing, and obviously, no parties. By the way, I must […]

THE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF MORTALITY

We see it every day. But we do not understand. Our show of sorrow, curtesy, grief and sorry are meaningless. In that world with no sound, all their pitiable cries go unheard. The so-called reality of life totally becomes absurd. Time ceases to exist. The counting of time is considered a sin. Money becomes meaningless. […]

SUNITA WILLIAMS

Everybody knows about Sunita Williams. Then, what do you want me to say about her? I cannot be an American if I were to have ‘James’ as my name; Sunita cannot be an Indian either. If you say anything more than this such as Indian origin etc., you are a fool! Sunita Williams is stuck […]

Magnificent Seven Stories

In my extensive readings, I came across many wonderful sentences, many of them I do remember. For few, I can even remember their author; but for majority I am confused about the name of the author. I do acknowledge the work and rights of those authors, thank them for letting me use their work. Few […]

REALITY vs VIRTUAL REALITY

REALITY vs VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual Reality is a computer-generated 3D simulation of environment or image. This environment can be interacted in a seemingly real way by a person by using special gadgets such as a helmet with a screen or gloves with sensors. This makes the users feel they are immersed in their surroundings. One example that can be […]

Back in the good old days

Looking back to Welcome 2025

As we grow older, we have more years behind us to study the way things were and they always seem better than now. By all the changes we create a space to reflect on the way things were for us when the days were sweeter. But it must be noted that there is nothing new […]

DEATH OF LORD GANESH!

Entire night I was having disturbed sleep. Please do not give reasons as to why I had a disturbed sleep. Like me there are many who are either unable to sleep or having a disturbed sleep. Till the next Tuesday i.e., 17th Sep 2024, this situation persists. We are losing sleep due to few idiots. […]
