• Nebulous nationalities and shifting loyalties in the globalized world

  Let me begin with the basics first. What is the meaning of the term “nation”? It essentially means a political entity wherein the inhabitants of a particular geographical area feel emotionally connected to each other and to the land they live in. Here, the term “emotional connection” is very important. Unless the people of a…

• The myth of self-independence and self-sufficiency!

  Time and again, you must have heard some successful people saying that they are “self-independent” and “self-sufficient”, and that they are not dependent upon others for their survival, success and something else. But, this notion of “independence” needs deeper analysis in the context of human society, as I believe that noone is truly independent or…

• Are there any limits to growth- material and spiritual?

  If you are living in disaster-prone areas like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir etc., you would have witnessed the fury of nature in person, whether in the form of thunderstorms, cloudbursts, landslides, floods or earthquakes. And if you are not living there, you must have atleast read or heard about such news, if you…

• Does the “number” in the “Number of working hours” really matter?

  Or there is something else that really matters! Since the Indian software giant founder Mr. Narayan Murthy advocated for 70-hour work week for young Indians to improve productivity at work and then the (in)famous L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan advocating for 90-hour work week even including on Sundays and then some entrepreneurs across the world suggesting…

• Living in a post-truth world- in the illusion of truth!

  Imagine you are on a vacation and walking in the downtown area of an unknown city. You are feeling hungry after walking all day exploring that new city. Then, you happen to pass a series of food restaurants on a bustling lane, some seemingly lavish, and some mediocre and some loathsome. You obviously are enticed by…

• A world bereft of questions is no world!

  Does God really exist? Why does the rainfall happen? How does the sun shine? Is the earth flat or round? Does the earth rotate around the sun or vice-versa? Why does the apple fall towards the ground? These are a few of the numerous questions that have intrigued humanity in the earlier times. And only…

• The quintessential debate surrounding the words “Socialist” and “Secular” in our Preamble

  Of many things that are worth cherishing about our common shared heritage, there is one thing that I admire as one of the best. That is, the Indian society traditionally has a very good characteristic of holding debates and dialogue. Since the ancient times till today, generations have nurtured and nourished this great tradition of…

• Market economy and hyper-technology wiping out small joys of life- the missing human touch

  While taking an afternoon stroll, I noticed a budhi amma selling jaamun in a small tokri at street-side in the scorching heat of summers. She was looking very frail and aged, still she was working hard under a hot burning sun to make the ends meet. I asked her “Amma, jaamun kitne me diye?” She…

• We all talk about the pillars of democracy- but what about the foundation?

  Image courtesy: Hillpost.in For a building to be strong and resilient from the external shocks (earthquake, floods, cyclones etc.) and internal shocks (fire, load of the building etc.), its pillars have to be strong. Because, without sturdy pillars, the building may crumble like a pack of cards anytime. But, in this analogy, we often forget…
