 Eternal optimism 




Is it possible to be 


positive, after 


All that is happening 


Around the world 


asked a friend.


Knowing why it is


Directed at me, 


Prepared myself to


Reply suitably.


Readymade answer 


Would be, humanity 


Moves forward always


Never moves backwards 


Reached this far, from


Barbaric stone age 


Upto now.


In some primitive traits


 Would never fade away. True.


Still the majority is civil


And sober and only a very 


few work and act with the likes


Of Epstein - 


It gives one a feeling 


Of despair about future 


No denying the despondency


Human History is replete


With all such kinds of demons


This is Nothing new 


All hope is not lost


Better future lies ahead


These things come to light


Itself a progress 


Let's hope and pray


We defeat all satanic


Elements within us


To make the world safe


And free for all.

Gandhi and Karl Marx: A New Perspective ​Based on the Essays of Akeel Bilgrami ​It is a widely accepted view that Mahatma Gandhi and Karl Marx represent polar opposites. Common understanding suggests that Marxist scholars and Gandhians occupy entirely different worlds, with many many adamant that there is no possible point of convergence between the two. ​However, according to Akeel Bilgrami , a philosopher and professor at Columbia University, there are profound areas of agreement. While they may appear to have no similarities on the surface, Bilgrami establishes a connection through specific philosophical interpretations. ​The Leftist Critique of Gandhi ​Left-wing scholars, both in India and globally, have historically leveled harsh criticisms against Gandhi. Yet, there is a growing insistence that a serious, original "left-leaning" essence should be extracted from his writings and actions to foster new debates. ​Bilgrami acknowledges that Gandhi did not use the trad...

Collection of Spiritual thoughts  Life  This early dawn  Flashed a spark in mind As I read a book on hermits Oh! Why do we exist Just for the heck of it ? Isn't there more ... True being alive is basic  Knowing the inner conscious core next And becoming more aware spiritually  Focus on that state of mind Knowledge of oneness of soul That supreme Energy that drives  All is one and the same in all beings.. Is knowing that enough.. Delving on that furthermore and further There will come a point  Where having merger of thoughts  Core energy source  No looking back then As we Integrate intermingling  And assimilation of soul happens With psychic and emotional  Fusing of oneness Path of our Spiritual purpose realized Cycle of life becomes complete  Going beyond birth and death  We reach the point from where  Started Journey of life and be A pure onlooker as events unfold.. Invoking Gods - is it just a tool ? God is the most...

Yuval Noah Harari's "Nexus" - points to ponder   Yuval Noah Harari’s recent book, Nexus, explores the history of human communication. As a renowned historian, Harari provides a sweeping narrative of how humanity evolved from the early days of the telegraph to the present information revolution. The Power of Information Networks Large-scale information networks are the primary reason for human success. Homo sapiens created powerful structures through imagination—not just machines, but religions and ideologies. However, Harari notes that these often bring unintended consequences; religions, for instance, have sometimes flooded the world with blood instead of the intended love and joy. As humans shared more information, living standards generally improved. For example, a child's survival rate beyond age 15 was only 50% in Germany in 1797; today, it is 99.5% (with a world average of 96.5%). While technology has granted us unprecedented access—every smartphone contains mo...
