I don't make it a point to comment about movies extensively. Neither am I going to do this for this post. But I just want to say something here. Please go watch Neninthe telugu movie on youtube, which comes with subtitles in english. It is a movie about cinema. It actually made me re-think my pre-conceived notions I had on cinema. A good movie overall. On the side note, I can't wait to go to my new house!! :) Sigh....

एहसास

इतने पास फिर भी इतनी दूर इतना स्पष्ट फिर भी इतना कलंक कैसे बताऊँ मैंइस एहसास का मतलब? ऐसा चमत्कार मेरे ज़िन्दगी में आया मेरे मन का अँधेरा को साफ़ कियाअरे मोरा कान्हा!सिर्फ आप है इसके कारण! हे गोविंदा!हे कृष्णा! हे केशवा!आपकी आशीर्वाद सदैव हम सब पर रहे! ...

Heer Ranjha

The song Ranjha Ranjha has really fascinated me. I was wondering what the name 'Ranjha' meant and did a small google search. I also found its roots in a Punjabi classical song. Just listen to this:      Get this widget |     Track details  |         eSnips Social DNA    The first two lines are the same from the song in Raavan. Fascinating isn't it? Also the story of Heer and Ranjha is a famous one in Punjab! Once again, it is a famous love story just like all the Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu kinda stories we have heard so far: "Heer...

Talking to myself

I've tried imagining a world without all those man-made things. I realized simply how many things man has made up! That is a lot of things you know! Just imagine... Whatever is left behind that is not man-made would be the Earth with its trees, plants, and all other living organisms, and finally the humans who are just part of the 'other living organisms'. What is it that separates the humans from the rest of the things that are not man-made are those that are man-made; meaning the things that came out of man; out of his mind. And if you further reduce the entire universe into its basic constituents, you end up with the five...

The making of a graduate

Life seems to be free and open from where I stand now. I have completed my university education and I'm not thinking of what to do in life next. Of course, I have to go and find a job and start working. I will do just that. But I've come to realize that research is not something that I would want to do for the rest of my life. I have other interests to pursue. With God's blessings, I hope I will be able to achieve what I set out for.  I wouldn't say that the struggle for life begins now that I have graduated. Instead, I see my whole life ahead of me, inviting me with open hands, for me to go and achieve whatever I...

I am birthless. I am immortal. I am infinity. That I am. I am existence. I am consciousness. I am bliss. That I a...
