WRITE, EVEN IF THERE IS NO ONE TO READ YOU
WRITE, EVEN IF THERE IS NO ONE TO READ YOU
One may write what he likes, what others may like or what, in his opinion, should be written. In fact, when one is deeply engrossed in the process of writing, one of the three thoughts may dominate over the other two at one point of time. It is only when one is in the planning stages of writing that one is consciously aware of one’s motive. (more…)

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA JUNE 21
Yoga (योग) means addition. If we physically try to add two to two with equanimity of mind and utmost selflessness the outcome could be much bigger than four. Here, I have attempted to discuss something that is not much talked about. Yoga is being popularized on a plane that is rather more physical than what it ought to be. What happens if we work with our mind and intellect, and a little beyond…

RELATIVITY
Relativity has no character of its own. It is neither truth, nor untruth. If I claim, I am better than John, it has no meaning, because it does not tell you whether John is good or bad.
Success has a character similar to relativity. The one who is successful, according to today’s standards, in a place ‘X’ or in certain circumstances, might have been an utter failure yesterday, in a place ‘Y’ or…

THROUGH THE EYES OF A HUMAN BEING
Those who have learned to review their thoughts and conduct constantly are fortunate. They are unlikely to stagnate. However, the important question is whose eyes we use to look at ourselves? If we use others’ eyes, we will mould ourselves to please others. People are normally satisfied if they are surrounded by the objects that please their senses. They normally overlook that what satisfies…

“IN SEARCH OF OUR WONDERFUL WORDS” Expressions of human justice
For an author it is not difficult to realize that a book can never be completed. One can put a coma or maybe a semicolon after a thought, but never a full stop. As an author I stand exposed before myself several times in a day. Yesterday, by chance, my eyes fell on the following words of Voltaire (Francois-Marie Arouet) that I used in my book “In Search of Our Wonderful Words”. A sense of guilt…

KNOWING, WHAT IS NOT WORTH KNOWING
One, who gets busy in exploring, identifying and describing the untruth with an intention of revealing the truth, gets trapped in the untruth.
Perpetual misuse of intellect causes intellectual dystrophy.

AUTHORSHIP- A CULTURE OF DUTY
I still remember a line I read when I was in school, which said, “Whatever Tulsidas wrote he had written for the pleasure of his soul.”
Tulsidas (1532-1623) is a well known name in northern India for his poetic creation “Ramcharit Manas”, a book that brilliantly highlighted perfect human conduct and thereby became a scripture for the masses, having been written in the language of the common man,…

HAPPINESS INDICES
Memory is a queer thing; most of it we take for granted, believing that we can’t do much with it. We revise the scene when we were insulted several times in the day we were insulted. The face of the person who insulted us continues to flash in our mind for at least a few more days. (more…)

‘ALONENESS’ AND ‘LONELINESS’
The two words, ‘loneliness’ and ‘aloneness’ never came together in my mind till the time I heard them. The first thing that occurred to me was that one may achieve a state of ‘aloneness’ completely discarding one’s loneliness. The process is somewhat like when a light photon rich with a particular wavelength strikes a tiny particle and the interaction results in re-emission of light rich with a…

DEMOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP
Leadership is needed to change the state of the people they are in. For example, if people are not united, they need a leader who can unite them. In a democracy, people elect their leaders. Do you think a population having a majority of separatist people could ever elect a leader who unites them? (more…)

“IN SEARCH OF OUR WONDERFUL WORDS” -A search for collective freedom.
We have been taught to take care of ourselves. This had been a perfect education that even a chick receives from its mother bird. Such education is necessary for each and every living being on this earth. However, our lack of understanding of realities, that we may call as ‘lack of true knowledge’ or ‘Avidya’), leads us to deploy our whole system of body, mind and intellect in our selfish…

MEGALOMANIA IN EDUCATION
Man wants to rise. He wants to explore further. He wants to know more. The one who knows more than others is respected by the others. The hunger for knowledge has never been looked down upon in any of the civilized societies.
Gurukul, Acharyakul, Nalanda University, Takshashila University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University and many such words find a respectable place in…

Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, in his address to young students of India on 14th November 2014, spoke about keeping the street lights of cities switched off on full moon nights to save power. He felt that it could also bring urban people closer to the nature as they might come out of their homes after dinner, leaving their television sets to enjoy the full moon light. The possibility of keeping the street lights switched off on the nights preceding and following the full moon nights cannot be ruled out. Even after considering the necessity of street lighting when clouds and fog shadow the moon, a saving of 10% cost of street lighting per month can be estimated. Recently Narendra Modi requested all those who can afford to pay for cooking gas (LPG) without any subsidy may decide to voluntarily opt out using subsidized LPG. Many have responded favourably. The number of people not using subsidized LPG in India can increase substantially if small efforts of using solar energy (for example, using solar energy for partial cooking) and abandoning the habit of excessive cooking (an unhealthy way of cooking) are made. It is not that we are not well informed about the scarcity of resources. It is only that we are not farsighted enough to make use of our thinking, acting and verbal abilities for collective good. Or, are we lazy and lethargic about things that do not provide us any instant satisfaction? The ugly part of this state of affairs is that many of my learned friends in the media might be busy at this moment in smelling a political agenda in Narendra Modi’s words. Do you think it would serve any purpose that could benefit the common man? A simple idea that is for the collective good needs small selfless efforts and truthful but wide circulation. That is the long and the short of the Wonderful Words. I do not blog about my books entirely to promote their sales; I am aware that the kind of stuff I write is not an economically viable proposition in the times we are living in. The books I write, in my opinion, are socially justifiable; that is why I write them. I primarily blog about my books to extend the ideas contained in my books. Please do not treat any of my blogs as yet another sales promotion blog, if they leave any impression of that kind. Please evaluate them on their merits; this is my humble request to you.

“IN SEARCH OF OUR WONDERFUL WORDS”…The unquenchable thirst.
Given hereunder are a few paragraphs from the book “In Search of Our Wonderful Words”. QUOTE If, by some chance or through sincere efforts, the man is able to make himself relatively free of the cobweb he has woven around him, he may start viewing the world that surrounds him from a correct point of reference. The day when one is able to realize that the world looks different if it is viewed…

विकृत परम्पराओं के इतिहास को समझने की आवश्यकता
इसमें संशय नहीं कि हम परम्पराओं के मूल्य और उनकी विकृतियों के रूप से थोड़ा या अधिक अवगत हैं परन्तु किसी परम्परा का जन्म किन सामाजिक, राजनैतिक तथा सामाजिक परस्थितियों में हुआ तथा किन किन कारणों से उनमें बदलाव आया इस विषय पर हमारी जानकारी प्राय: सतही है.
इसके अनेक कारण हैं; जैसे हमारी वर्षों की भौतिक एवं मानसिक परतंत्रता; पाश्चात्य इतिहासकारों और समाजशास्त्रियों का एकतरफा अवलोकन, विवेचन एवं…
