When l look at a man sharply reacting to my views,
I see an interesting opportunity cos it gives me an opportunity to expand and elaborate and also gives me the hope that someone is listening and interacting. There are others who see somebody sharply reacting to their views as someone trying to assert his power, someone trying to show his...

When someone hears a different drummer, let him step to the music he hears
however near or far away - there was a quote like this or to this effect of Thoreau which fascinated me. It essentially meant that we didn't always need to walk a beaten path. But someone else interprets that quote of Thoreau differently. They say that this means that people should not be restricted...

When someone keeps you at bay on something that you have a lot to do with,
there can be many reasons. The context is important. It just maybe that they want to give you a break and make u feel good that there are others who are carrying forward the trail you've set or it maybe that they feel threatened and see you as a competitor or it just maybe that they do not think you...

I just saw a post by blogger DevikaRao which was about perceptions
of one's body and how they are shaped by what is seen as normal. Now the point is how is this imagery of normal caused. By the million ads of the cosmetic industry and the ad agencies in league. The beauty contests, etc. On the other hand is the movement of LIFE -a reality movement that learns to...

When someone has lost a person considered near to that person,
and there is an expressionless look on his face, it depends on the situation and our perceptions as to how to interpret this face. Some people would say the person is too shocked beyond words and is hence expressionless. others will say that maybe he is not really grieving and that the loss is a...

When vote-hungry politicians jump into the fray of a people's
as in civil society's movement against something, is it good or will it take away the punch and basic purpose of the movement? Some feel politicians come in like chameleons or weather-cocks who veer in the direction of the weather and that they could do a turn-around anytime. Others feel that all...

When someone you love and who reciprocates says he doesn't want to carry on
the relationship into marriage because you are too good for him, do you think this is selflessness or is just loss of interest and a polite way of saying good-bye?

Bear it or give up - euthanasia or no euthanasia
This is an old topic, I guess, but it is something that humanity is constantly confronted with again and again. If someone is sick, is she better off gone or is it that the person should be there no matter the suffering in pain and agony? Do that person's views matter? Do the views of the family and...

You thought that thread was about the divine ordination as a special class;
I saw it as a symbol of upholding the oppressive caste system; she saw it as a kind of bondage given that commensurate with the powers are certain unreasonable expectations What am I referring to above? The thread that upper caste Hindus wear. So seeing lies in the eyes of the viewer. It is about...
