Don’t Turn Love Into A Relationship
Why is it that every relationship begins in the freedom of love and ends in the bondage of relationship? Love comes like a strong breeze and carries away two Lovers to unknown dimensions.

My parents and Baagvaan - the movie
When I was watching Baagvaan movie last year, I was worried by the pathetic condition of the retired old couple (role played by Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini) and I wished such a situation should not befall on any retiring couples.

Discard Emotional Baggage, Be Authentic
Our life exists between two polarities: being and doing, how we are and how we behave. We may be pure in being but what matters is how we act or behave.If we observe our life, we will see that our behaviour in our daily wakefulness is not authentic. It is full of hypocrisy. When talking to our friends, relatives, even strangers, we hide our feeling... more...

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change. "By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as m...  more...
