August 15, 2010 (Independence Day Special)

Today, 15th August, 2010, India celebrates its' 64th Independence Day. And in a little over a month's time my blog would turn over an year old as well. Although I cannot bundle the two occasions, I certainly can celebrate my blog's anniversary a bit earlier!

I had no idea what I would do with my blog. But along the way certain things came up which helped me to shape this blog. One of the most important thing was I started listening to interviews on Inside an Actors' Studio. Along the way my father kept on pouring the knowledge of spiritualism. These two things in conjunction inspired me to write a few words of my own. And I hope to carry all of it forward into the next year and on the way add a lot more. :)

As India celebrates its' Independence Day I could also celebrate my own. Freeing myself of my own inhibitions, tensions, pains, weaknesses and other emotions which are always out there looking for a chance to pull me back into darkness. Michaelangelo's word resonate with my feelings on this day, he said "Lord free me of myself so I can service thee".

Scuba Diving 36 feet deep in Goa (Surreal but Nice!)

"Surreal but nice" that's what Hugh Grant's character managed to blurt out, mesmerized by the beauty of Julia Roberts (in the movie Notting Hill ). And this was the exact thought that was running in my mind as I was rising from a depth of over 35 feet under water in the Arabian Sea near Goa, India. I had just finished my first dive (rather second dive of my first dive) with grouper fish, tailor fish - and many more - knelt at the bottom of the ocean floor and touched a ship wreck that sunk more than sixty years ago! It was a surreal experience that has left me with a feeling of self-satisfaction as well as endless curiosity. The two feelings very rarely take a house together in my mind. Probably the last time they shacked up together was when I got an admit for my Master's from State University of New York . The feeling of gliding underwater among the fishes, water pressure trying to burst your ears drums, flying over huge boulders of rocks under sea; like an un...

The debate on Times Now Summit 2022 between Salman Khurshid, Dr. Vikram Sampath, Sai Deepak, and Pavan K Varma showed how disconnected the left, right, and the middle are from each other.  We all know these 'luminaries',  as Rahul Shivshankar, Editorial Director & Editor-in-Chief  @TimesNow introduces them.  How left and right  do not apply to Indian political viewpoints  is a matter for another time, therefore pardon my use of the western paradigm of left and right for the rest of this blog post. Times Now Debate, 2022 We all know Sai Deepak through his YouTube debate with  Asaduddin Owaisi  (Sai Deepak in fact moderated the debate) a few years back. And since then he has authored a couple of books on the historical context that surrounded the drafting of the constitution of India between 1946 to 1950. His first book on India, that is Bharat forced us to rethink colonialism and introduced an entirely distinct scholarly way to look at middle-e...
