I identify myself as a secular person. But I do believe in my religion too. I just don’t disrespect other religions or hate people of other religions.

It hit me when I was looking for a transformation coachContinue reading “The Religious Zealots are affecting my Secularism.”

I keep hearing about Law of Attraction and Thought Manifestation and that if you really project the right thoughts, the Universe makes them come true. And the truth be told, I am a bit skeptical about this all. Back in the 90s, we had self-hypnosis techniques and meditation techniques to help you focus on yourContinue reading “Skeptical about Thought Manifestation!”

Ram Mandir – Rashtra Mandir

The building of Ram Mandir is changing India in many ways. Since post-Independence days, the policy of Indian government has always been to appease Muslims. Not touch Sharia laws.

I love the culture, traditions, and rituals. I am very much into following them – but only when I understand the logic behind them.

Grim Reaper vs Yamraj…What do you think Death looks like?

I love mythology. In the West, the Death is depicted as the Grim Reaper – the cloaked skeleton with a scythe. In Hinduism, it is depicted as Yamraj – the black god with demon-like body with two horns on his head, a buffalo for the ride, and a noose in his hand (which he usesContinue reading “Grim Reaper vs Yamraj…What do you think Death looks like?”
