| Defenestration - Old Blog! | |
| Kush reminded me of this word that I have used in July, 2007 in one of my older blogs. Copying the same here for old times sake :)Defenestration, a common phenomenon of our lives, I believe, ranges from being not realized to uncomprehended by many.

| 1. Last movie in a theatre Kotha Bangaru Lokam – A Telugu movie and just before that was Rock On! We usually don’t find too much time for watching movies! When I think of it, cannot figure out what keeps us busy! 2. What book are you reading? I have seasons for my reading – a season for fiction, non-fiction, business and spirituality. Now i...

| 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...

|
|
| 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...
