The unconsidered life is not worth living.
December 5th, 2008
My friend Ashik, sent this quote to me. The quote is from A C Crayling and it is amazing! It’s encourages being thoughtful, reflection, the best use of time, taking control. It’s something that the teachings of Shrimad Rajchandra advocates.
What do you think? Do you agree?
Socrates famously said that the unconsidered life is not worth [...]

Although it is an amazing achievement, not just becuase he is a positive black role model, not just becuase he brings us hope, not just becuase he brings us away from the Bush administration but becuase he is fresh/new and with that, we [...]
Is your tongue your worst enemy?
November 7th, 2008
I remember being told that ‘your thoughts, words, actions, habits and character can influence your life positively and negatively’
I went to an event in which we learned about the power of the mind. The power of our thoughts. To put it simply, which is the extent to which I understand it….if you think ‘I don’t [...]

The past vs the future
August 31st, 2008
This was sent to me by my aunt Deepti. I think it’ll mean even more when you’re at ‘that’ point in your life when you can see that it rings true for you.
There comes a point in your life when you realise:
Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won’t anymore….
and who always will.

Why cleansing is so important
August 28th, 2008
I got this email from Pradeep today. It’s all about why cleansing is so important. Where I hear you ask? Externally and within.
It’s excellent! It sums up a lot of what I’ve been doing recently. Of course I know many people who would not approve at all! However, I don’t see the point of holding [...]

Need vs greed
August 10th, 2008
So I’ve been reading this book called ‘Carve It On Your Heart. It’s written by Acharya Vijay Ratnasundersuri and it’s quite amazing. There’s some real gems in there that just stand out. I think it’s one of those books that you need to read again and again and each time you’ll find a different valuable [...]

I got an email a few weeks ago. It was called ‘Make this video go around the world’. I watched it and was amazed by the clarity, conviction, honesty and vision of this child called Severn who was addressing so many people at the Earth Summit!
What she said was true, describing a sorry state of [...]
