A thought came up in my mind when I heard Sarah Palin on TV yesterday. She said that what American soldiers are fighting for in Iraq or anywhere else was what God intended them to do...it was God's will that we are fulfilling. Several thoughts popped up in my mind after that. Think about it...if God wants us to kill each other then he probably doesn't want the human race to flourish. Can that be true? Its a very complex thought. And it gives me shivers. Since the past couple of months I have read a few books (philosophical) and I have loved all of them. I am going to quote and refer the concepts in those books. "The Alchemist" says that everything in the universe speaks a universal language, all events are inter-related and each one of us has a role to play which was given to us by God. He will show you the signs so that you can achieve your destiny (your fortune) and all we have to do is understand that universal language and follow the signs. But the question here i...
Technology demands change. And change here stands for change in outlook (attitude). Every technological progress that human societies have witnessed, were possible because of the liberal attitude that the people embraced. We can quote many examples in history like the transition from hunter-gatherer societies to farming, usage of metal tools followed by industrialization upto modern inventions like electricity, computers, etc. Everything was a major change in those societies and people who accepted them ended up dominating the rest of the world.

Rebels will most often be ridiculed and condemned by the societies coz they deny to "Walk the Line". For many years now, I have been trying to see the advantages of being a liberal or a conservative. Conservatives will hold on to old traditions and ar...
Today, I want to share my love for cinema and how it captures my heart with its authentic emotions and depth of feeling. When I find myself deeply drawn to something, I often ask myself a fundamental question: "What part of me is resonating with this? Which part of me feels complete because of it? And why, if at all, do I feel incomplete without it?" Since childhood, cinema has fascinated me. It transports me to another world, immerses me in its reality, and leaves me changed. Some films create such an impact that I feel unable to return to everyday life. Recently, two movies— The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue , both on Prime Video—had that effect on me. The actor who captivated me was Nicholas Galitzine. His performance left such an impression that it compelled me to write this piece. Galitzine is devilishly handsome, with a chiseled face, expressive eyes, amazing hair, and a smooth, silky voice that he uses beautifully to sing. I watched him play very differe...
