| Our obsession with formlessness | |
| Our obsession with formlessnessThere has always been a trend in the thinking of intellectuals. Intellectuals here as per my definition are people who are well-read in the worldly sense and have formed opinions based on careful reasoning, deep thinking and are reasonably open and rational. These people are not fundamentalists but refuse to believe a...

| The Pradakshina Man! | |
|
|
| I used to pride myself that I am a spiritualist without being religious or ritualistic. But the place of Arunachala seems to draw me towards itself for a strange unknown reason. It is a different place, different language, a different set of people. I don’t understand a lot of the language that is spoken around. But there is an intense pull that dr...

| My love for Osho | |
| The fact that I am fascinated with Osho dates back a long way. From the funny video that I watched back in college on the creative usage of the four letter word to the most subtle truths of life on Awareness, Intuition and Intelligence. Osho has been at the background of my quest. Osho and UG Krishnamurthy are two people who constantly hold my thin...

| Boundaries of Faith! | |
| Faith and SkepticismIt has been an old debate possibly still around just because we fail to comprehend the meaning of the word “Faith”. Faith is roughly defined as an unconditional acceptance of a premise. Skepticism while at the opposite end is defined as viewing everything with a sense of doubt and lens of reason. So when I say “I have faith in...

| I got a comment from VT, for not being, in the face with spirituality in my earlier blog. I thought that is being too nice to me. So I wanted to post something that is more in the face, just to make it public that I too like all of us, am full of contradictions and have a right to be so ;-) So here comes an extreme leftist view for a question one o...

| Siddhartha – By Hermann Hesse | |
| For a long time, this book ‘Siddhartha – Hermann Hesse’ was on my must-read list and I finally did read it, recently. I usually do not read books to change my thinking but only to know of a perspective; to gain a thread through which I can think and form an opinion. Probably that is a reason why I am not a great fan of self-help books like “You can...

| Kids and Banyan Tree! | |
| In my childhood, on my way to school, there used to be a great banyan tree. It is so huge with a think trunk and thousands of branches, that whenever I have to imagine a big tree, that tree is what comes to my mind. I always used to wonder how difficult it would be to grow a tree like that until I was old and wise (I know one necessarily does not f...

| My Key Events in Indian Cinema |
| Cinema in India is the most effective mass message carrier. It promises to retain it’s pre-eminence for a few decades longer. Here I list what I consider are the significant events in Indian cinema in my years of cinema watching. Of course, this is a subjective list. Rangeela – Nudity was mostly equated with declining values. That changed when Mili...

| In business at last! Poor little me! Thought Arnab, as he trudged along with the heavy back-pack on his eight year old shoulders navigating his way through the crowd, dust and traffic of Calcutta, from the bus-stop to his housing society, just across the street. His mother was almost dragging his little finger with a sense of urgency as if she had ...
