Your annual reminder that satya, ahinsa, satyagrah had no role in Britain’s decision to free India. The real reasons: 1. WWII left Britain bankrupt, owing huge debts, making colonial administration too costly. 2. That debt was mostly from the US, which opposed old-style…

Ayurveda will remain "pseudoscience" until someone in the West rebrands it with a fancy name, does some research and publishes it in a "reputed" journal. Pranayama methods are now "Cardiac Coherence Breathing" or "Box breathing". Yogic traditions are now "Wim Hoff Method" and…

A Tiger walks around the ruins of the Fortress at Ranthambore. The gate here is the Bada Darwaza, built in 944 CE by Chauhan Rajputs, which is older than I expected. This fort has been the site of multiple battles between Rajputs against Ghurids, Mamluks, Mughals.

This is the truth. Of course vultures will try telling you otherwise. With a nuclear overhang, we managed to do much much more. Act of terror = Act of war. No proof needed. Thats the bottomline.

IKEA produces this very interesting report annually, titled ‘Life at Home’. This year they have focused on the aspect of enjoyment or joy at home. The global trends about what gives people joy are so reflective of the deeper societal cultural codes. Super interesting stuff.

Kathak, as a dance form, originated in the villages of North India around 400 BCE. It's thought to have started with the wandering bards of North India, known as Kathakars, who traveled and told stories through music, dance, and song.
