Alone in a crowd – in Malayalam it can be referred to as ‘ Aalkutathil Thaniye’. Have you ever felt this way? I am sure you have, on that odd occasion. You could be in a group and ask yourself, what are you doing here? Or, just feel alone. Unless you experience it, this feeling…

Two contrasting incidents of Silence come to me. They are from two different concepts in life. They also represent different explanations to the title of this Blog. The first, is the older story. The silence of Bhishma , also known as Pitamaha, Gangaputra and Devavrata, someone who was present during the entire Mahabharat, even before…
20202020I will be lying if I say that I am not a worried person today. However, I look at civilization and the actions of leaders and people, as a larger element that has to be viewed at a Macro Level or using the modern jargon, Holistically. Though, I admit, it is difficult to discuss Macro…
20202020I had a chat a few days ago with a friend on this subject. It did not go well. It did not go well because of one point – the person did not feel that he/she had done anything wrong. Now, when I said that both sides in the issue he/she was involved in, had…

20202020There is an air of sadness: We are on a lock down in Bangalore. This is a short two week one, which has followed an earlier partial lock down. For the last few days as I have gone about doing what I normally do on a Sunday, every day, I realised that a sense of…
20202020Who are friends? Friends are a very interesting specie. They have certain features that run across cultures and all kinds of humans that walk this earth or orbit it from satellites in the skies. I consider a friend as one who will tell you when you have done something wrong, yet stay away from judging…
20202020I am continuing from where I left.. Who is a friend? In today’s world there are different notions of what friendship means.
