Oh No, Not So Soon...

But Oh No, not so soon, not so soon dear! I ain‘t one to close The doors of my luscious senses; they’re my repose, Harbinger of delights, winds of desires, that take flights. Taste, touch, smell, hearing, and my sights Playfully virginal, sinful, errant, but still beautiful Gaiety, indulgence,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Magnetic Universal Appeal of Shakespeare’s Hamlet

The finest appeal of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, lies in its universality; the magnetic power with which the playwright succeeds in gravitating the audience to relate and identify themselves at once with the realities -- both serious and humorous -- of life in general. And this genius of his is in... Sign in to see full entry.

One of John Donne’s Strange Holy Sonnets

Batter my heart, three-person'd God; for you As yet but knock; breathe, shine, and seek to mend; That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new. I, like an usurp'd town, to another due, Labour to admit you, but O, to no end. Reason, your viceroy... Sign in to see full entry.

Curse Protects Chastity in this Mythological Story (an older version )

The Harmony of Scientific Religion

The latest scientific findings corroborate that the perception of our existence in the universe is only a case of our bewildered consciousness. We are unable to grasp the reality of our existence beyond one life only.‘NO’, they say: there is a vast world beyond, even after we die. The beyond is an... Sign in to see full entry.

Shakespeare’s reconciliation of a great tragedy through the manner of dying

Antony and Cleopatra (1606) is one of Shakespeare’s great historical tragic love stories, but the impression left us at the close of the play can scarcely be called purely tragic.

Delight in Disorder

A sweet disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness; A lawn about the shoulders thrown Into a fine distraction; An erring lace, which here and there Enthrals the crimson stomacher; A cuff neglectful, and thereby Ribands to flow confusedly; A winning wave, deserving note, In the tempestuous...

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
