What is a conversation?
When we have conversations, what we really do is that we try to pull the other person closer to ourselves: our ideas, principles, thoughts, etc. We try to bring the other person into our territory. And it goes both ways.

Democracy: Is it a real choice or an illusion of it?
If I am given just two choices, but both are bad enough to ignore my agendas and neither is aligned with my ideologies, what should I do? Should I make a compromise and choose the lesser evil? Or should I just don’t vote and decline to choose at all?
Money: Do I really need it?
I have asked myself this question for quite some time now. This is part of a sequence of questions I keep puzzling myself with. Do I really need money? Does money really put any values into anything (other than literally) with respect to my need? Which role does money play in my human life? How […]
Here and Now
What is ‘time’? What is it exactly? Is it a rail line? Is it the train? Or is it even something that has to do with a journey? Is it just an abstract idea? Is it merely an illusion? Or is it an artifact? What is it? It is something that I can feel, I […]
The argument against the argument that human knowledge is linear
And with all your ability you are trying the project light onto your past, using that torch light. That entity has a light, a torch light in his hand, and his consciousness is saying, “you know, you have to remember your past”.

The residue of Kurukshetra
The Mahabharata is one of the major and well written Sanskrit epics of Ancient India. Like any other epics, it has hundreds of parallel stories of its characters. Sanjaya—one of such characters, having the ability of seeing events at a distance almost 80 KM of the length right in front of him, granted by the […]
Dream of Success
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This the way to success, that is the way, great spiritual […]
Dying in hunger for freedom OR Slavery for protection?
Well, long days, no see. NO, I was not tired, I was not in hospital, I was not in jail, and I was not busy though. I just had nothing in my mind to write about. In fact I started writing about something special, something important. But somehow I could not finish. And day after […]
