Callous Mind!!

The impervious mind continues to move on at work in Mumbai even in the wake of 5 serial bomb blasts in Bangalore where a lot of relatives and friends are based. The phone lines are jammed and they cannot be reached, the concern existed but only for few fleeting minutes and when other incidents grappled for mind's attention, it went to rest in some remote corner may be to wake up at some later point of time or may be never...!!

A casual chat with a close colleague and friend in the office corridors brought home the realization that we have hardened over time, with the frequent riots and bomb blasts resulting in mindless agony and jolts that set us back when they happen but after awhile no more!! With the frequency with which they seem to be occurring, now the only reaction is "OK, one more!!" and that's just about it, not to forget to mention the instant vaporization of the topic from our minds.

Where we really so callous? - NO.
Where we born like this? - NO.
Do we fear death? - NO.
Do tragedies affect us? - NO.
Why have our feelings become so insusceptible for the pains of the suffering mankind? - Silence.


The mind if it were to dwelve in itself, would get sucked into a blackhole never to re-surface again, thereby the moving on spirit that's got adopted by one and all. Can't really blame anybody? And, there is little we can do to avoid it.

A Legend Lost. A Legacy Forever.

 On October 9, 2024, India lost one of its most cherished industrialists and humanitarians, Ratan Tata. His last words on social media, " Thank you for thinking of me. " were quintessentially Tata—humble, understated, and full of grace. These parting words have reverberated across the nation, encapsulating the quiet dignity with which he lived and led. In an age where public figures often tower through grand gestures, Ratan Tata’s approach was markedly different. His power was wielded not through public spectacle, but through quiet action, compassionate leadership, and a relentless commitment to integrity. From his role in expanding the Tata Group into a global conglomerate to his advocacy for animal welfare and support for start-ups, Tata's legacy is one of kindness interwoven with visionary business strategy. What set Ratan Tata apart was not just the scope of his achievements, but the human touch he brought to them. Even as he orchestrated some of India’s most signifi...

Embracing the Flow of Life

In our fast-paced world, we often try to control the outcomes of every situation. We want things to happen a certain way, on our terms, and according to our timelines. However, there’s a simple yet powerful philosophy that can help us navigate the unpredictability of life with more ease: "If it comes, let it come. If it stays, let it stay. If it goes, let it go." This mantra encourages us to let go of resistance and embrace the natural flow of events. By adopting this mindset, we learn to welcome opportunities without fear, accept stability without clinging to it, and release what no longer serves us without regret. It’s about living in harmony with the inevitable changes life brings, instead of fighting against them. 1. If it comes, let it come. Life often surprises us with new possibilities—whether in the form of relationships, opportunities, or challenges. By letting things come naturally, without forcing or fearing them, we open ourselves up to new experiences and growth....

The Hidden Crisis in Papua New Guinea: Torture and Violence Against Women

In Papua New Guinea, violence against women—often stemming from accusations of witchcraft—is an urgent, yet hidden, human rights crisis. Women, particularly those marginalized or vulnerable, are frequently scapegoated for misfortunes like illness or death, leading to brutal attacks, torture, and sometimes even murder. The plight of these women remains largely invisible to the world despite its prevalence, especially in rural areas where cultural beliefs in sorcery run deep. Roots of the Crisis: Witchcraft Accusations and Superstition In many parts of Papua New Guinea, accusations of sorcery serve as a way to explain unexpected tragedy or hardship, disproportionately affecting women. Widows, single mothers, and other vulnerable women are often targeted and subjected to severe torture—including beatings, burning, and even mutilation—as their communities demand “confessions.” These horrific acts leave women physically and emotionally scarred, reinforcing a culture of silence and fear. Con...
