A lesson we can learn from Trump’s ban on unwanted foreign visitors: Who have been the most unwelcome guests for the last two centuries?Yes, for the last two centuries? It is those Christian ‘Fathers’! They took upon themselves the job of telling us that our real ‘father’ was someone very different. They tried to make a mess of the ordinary folk's view of their own God, as they had known all along, though much in vain. But the efforts of two centuries have left indelible black marks on our nation and turned one against another and divided the country, giving a fillip to other ideologies to fish in troubled waters. Our government can now take the following steps on the lines of what Trump had done, to protect the USA from foreign invaders of its freedom of religion, among other things. 1.        All tourists will be expected to be tourists and behave like tourists and govt should not permit them to follow their profession be it a doctor, journalist, educationist, whatsoe

WHAT IS BEAUTY? About 50 years before a Bengali gentleman, who was Engineer in Royal Enfield at that time, explained to me what is beautiful. I was young and asked him how come he was calling our temple sculptures of ladies “beautiful”? The following was his reply: “Yes if you see separately different parts of their body, you will find them entirely disproportionate to each other and even very ugly. But when you look at them as a whole, you will find them beauty personified. You don’t feel ‘sexy’ but only admire the beauty. Because our mind has the capacity, it can see the whole at the same time and also appreciate the beauty of it.” But nowadays we have become blind with open eyes. Evaluate some parts of the other sex which excite us and call the whole beautiful

I am reproducing below a write up AFTER the same has been vetted by Google Grammarly program. The program has marked the words which are incorrect or can be improved, including punctuation marks. Of course, some of the mistakes 'found' by this program are themselves wrong! We all revere Sadhguruji and would not like anything published in His name to carry any grammatical mistakes because it can create a confused feeling in the minds of those who come across Him for the first time. May I submit, with bowed head and hands across my chest, to understand that IN NO WAY I DARE to make a comment on what He has said. If this is worth anything, I will be blessed by Him. Otherwise, do consider this as an impertinent act from an ugyani and throw it away in the dustbin where it should belong. (I have tried to indicate within brackets some of the suggested corrections.) Worrying all the time often leads to taking life too seriously.  The first photographs of people taken in the l

WESTERN DENTAL My rotten experience with Western Dental, Santa Clara, San Jose, CA 95113 I went to them a long ago because I found them very well advertised. They still do. The problem is now that they have probably more than enough cheated customers, they do not care for customer service anymore! It all started after I had my second set of dentures. Probably the workmanship was rotten. The top went into two pieces right in the middle when I was washing it in the sink. I went to them for repairs. After a trial, they found it needed replacement. Then my problems started. Probably, I don’t know for sure, since they are unlikely to be reimbursed for their bad service, the service went downhill.  They called me to visit them, I have lost count, but at least 6-8 times on weekly basis to their clinic after they found some “new” defect with the allegedly ‘new denture’! For the last three weeks, it has taken a new turn! First I was told they would get it from the supplier in a

HOW TO BECOME MORE INTELLIGENT, REALLY! My sister Shanta sent a post from WhatsApp: "2017 is a unique year. Try adding your Age + year of Birth = 2017. Incredible!!!" I spent a couple of minutes verifying it before I realized it was just a post pulling my leg! I repeated the post verbally to my grandson Rohan Ridenour, aged 13, to check how long it took him to come to the same conclusion I reached. Within literally seconds of my finishing the sentence, almost in continuation of what I was saying, he replied, "…provided you had crossed your day of birth this year." Amazing he had analyzed my statement and also found a correction to it within a matter of seconds! I asked him how he worked it out within such a short time. He says he does not think or "work out'. It just came to his mind.  Now I understand one thing: All have access to all data, and many have stored a lot of it in their mind. But few have a fast processor also in

India’s Sickening and Immoral Move By Steve Forbes, Editor-in-Chief Would you like to read the most idiotic, uninformed, opinionated, know-all comments about Indias demonetization? Read the editorial of Forbes Magazine (US January edition) by its Editor in Chief, Steve Forbes under the caption  “India’s Sickening and Immoral Move.” You may agree with my comment just after reading the heading of the editorial. Don’t be in a hurry. Read the diatribe in the very first sentence vomiting all Steve’s venom, scorn and hate against India: “In November India’s government perpetrated an unprecedented act that is not only damaging its economy and threatening destitution to countless millions of its already poor citizens but also breathtaking in its immorality.” If he had written this in December, I might have ignored it. In January, the whole world is appreciating our Prime Minister’s step, a very large majority of its citizens and excepting a bunch of dyed in wool opposition leader
