#LockdownTales As we all watch the re-runs of Ramayana and Mahabharata, I was reminded of the late CM of combined Andhra Pradesh and yesteryear actor Shri. N.T. Rama Rao. He acted in several movies based on these two epics and was always featured as either Sri Rama or Sri Krishna depending on which epic the … Read more N.T. Rama Rao – the original Rama and Krishna
Hanuman, Jambavan and potential 🙂 This is one of the most popular blog posts of mine. I was reminded about this yesterday as I saw the episode of Ramayana on TV about precisely this exchange between Hanuman and Jambavan. There are so many life lessons that I pick up everyday in nearly every episode. Am truly … Read more Hanuman, Jambavan and Lessons for life
In Feb this year we visited Tirunelveli to celebrate Amma’s 75th birthday and we did it as a surprise for her.

A couple of days back, while channel surfing just to pick the headlines, I saw this interview with the self-proclaimed God-woman Radhe Maa on the India Today channel. She was bizarre, spoke nonsense and I couldn’t bring myself to watch the interview beyond a few minutes… I am still wondering how Sahil Joshi, the interviewer … Read more A Dose of Reality – In search of the miraculous

Today is Maha Shivaratri – a very auspicious day. I am no expert on the spiritual aspects of this day, but Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has written about The Significance of Mahashivaratri. I thought of evaluating Shiva as a boss in our limited corporate world. All the Hindu mythology and the many Gods and Goddesses that … Read more Shiva as a boss …
I just read an article posted by Meenu about why some people are not colouring their Facebook profile photos in the colours of the French flag and then a whole bunch of comments.

They say “Man proposes and God disposes”… I never liked the saying, and realised why after hearing Osho’s take on it. Osho said, why would God dispose off any of your proposal because you ask for such small, cheap things like a better car, a bigger home and a prettier nose :):). Exactly why I … Read more Prabhu Ki Kripa hai :):)
