Is there something called ‘the Meaning to Life’?
One of the interesting reasonz people give for the existence of religion is that it gives ‘meaning to life’ for many… I would agree that for many something outside religion can appear totally meaningless… and that is because they have not really tried to look outside religion… the possibility of life without religion, without God has not been explored, that is all…. the possibilities are … Continue reading Is there something called ‘the Meaning to Life’?
Some Personal Thoughts on Social Media Activism
Recently someone raised a question, if activism on Facebook, Twitter and social media is just ‘feel good’ activism that people undertake in the comforts of their home or can it make a difference as what people from yesteryears did marching on the streets.

PK Review – Thank You Aamir for being PK, the Bhojpuri speaking Alien
Sometimes you need an intelligent fantasy to bust other fairy tales which people have started believing to be real. PK does exactly that keeping you glued to the seats for 2+ hours.

It treads two very delicate paths for Indian cinema that seem to go very much … Continue reading PK Review – Thank You Aamir for being PK, the Bhojpuri speaking Alien

Stop Religion from brainwashing and killing our children
As Taliban massacres children in Peshawar the “all powerful and all merciful” was either “completely powerless or absolutely merciless”. Isn’t it high time humanity stops believing in this sadistic Supreme Being whose religious books and doctrines can be twisted in any way to kill one another and above all be able to reason it in his name. The sad part is that it is not … Continue reading Stop Religion from brainwashing and killing our children

Sometimes religion needs a real kick in the ass to start behaving properly – My GHar Wapasi musings
Conversion is an issue irrespective of religion; though honestly I don’t really care if people get converted from Islam or Christianity to becoming a Hindu or vice versa.

When you see Black and White Rainbows
There are black and white rainbows on a clear sky; I know it is weird but truth is always weird to the listener Then it starts raining and the raindrops from the skies become little girls and slide on these black and white rainbows with their flowered skirts waving at the cloud animals.
