Books-Choices & Me

This year I am trying to be a voracious reader, a little diverse as well.I decided to stop all the English Vinglish and start something in Kannada last week. A lot of people had recommended me this book before. 



I am not yet done with the book but so far it has been a great read, usually people write reviews when they finish reading the book but I felt like talking about it today for a different reason. While I flip from page to page I am realizing how much I have missed reading Kannada all these years! Thankfully I can do more than just manage! We Indians are blessed with wonderful languages and we rarely do appreciate our own literature.It is enormously commendable, isn't it?  I have realized my fault, have you? Do share any must reads that you know of ,I will be happy to read :-)

The Lord, The Teacher



'Krishnam vande jagadgurum' is so apt for today. Read the Bhagvad Gita and you will agree, there  is no better teacher than the Lord himself and no better teaching than the Gita. It makes absolute sense, not mere coincidence. It is up to us to imbibe it all and be a good student. Here is wishing you all a Happy Janmashtami and to all of you who have taught me a thing or two in a way or the other, over the years here at my blog, a Happy Teacher's Day :-)

Life Cycle, Really?


All I want to say right now, I feel awfully ashamed of being a human.


Rest in peace Aylan, you have not gone anywhere,
 you are definitely in a better place wherever you are now!
