Karma & The Game of Probability

But they are not enough to understand Karma completely, as it can be elusive. One of the examples of that nature […]
Understanding Advaita – Part 1 | Advaitha relative to Dwaitha
Since I noticed many people around me seem interested in Advaita (as I’ve come to know by their reactions to my WhatsApp stories and their tendency to ask questions to me about Advaita), I’ve thought of writing a series of blogs on Understanding Advaita. I don’t know how many parts/blogs this will eventually require, but […]

Do you understand ‘The Joker’?
Yes, I’m referring to ”The Joker” from the movie ‘Joker’, a masterpiece of work by Todd Phillips and amazingly enacted by Joaquin Phoenix. You’ve watched that movie? Yes, that movie, which is one of the most depressing movies of all time! If not, go watch that movie, not for entertainment, but to observe and learn […]
A Compass For Life!
In blog 2: Read your obituaries I talked about remembering our mortality every day to put our whole life into a clearer perspective. However, that blog was just a reminder and advice in a general or broad sense. It was more about pondering what you would do now, knowing that you’ll die today. In this […]

We may not receive superpowers like Spiderman but we receive certificates that provide us with the power of social status. You may be valued […]

Not thinking is a crime too!

Blog 50: Are you a cog in the machine?
The other day, I took a nap in the afternoon. I don’t know whether I was asleep and dreaming or it was just my mind making up stuff since it was left to relax, but I conceived this. A comical, hypothetical scenario: I’m in my college, listening to the lecturer with all the students. Of […]
