Shakespeare's sparkling genius in Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing is the nearest approach to the Comedy of Errors as practised by William Congreve, where sentiment or passion is conveyed either by indifference or downright contradiction. The hero and the heroine of Much Ado, Benedick and Beatrice, by their very bickerings, assume a social... Sign in to see full entry.

Death: Fiction or Reality?

I loved a query from one of my colleagues, on my Paper on ‘Destiny and Free Will’. She wanted a clarification saying, "an objection if I may raise just to play Devil’s Advocate: The characters in a story have every step of their lives determined by the author. Yet their "lives" have meaning and... Sign in to see full entry.

To my beloved and revered professor

Today I am utterly wrapped in the sad memories of a vey senior colleague and a teacher of mine, Dr. J. N. Sharma, Professor of Phonetics. A very warm personality and an equally brilliant teacher, he was a true giant in the subject of his speciality. He lived all alone in his apartment, his son and... Sign in to see full entry.

Understanding Non-Violence

The concept of non-violence appears to us as hollow, because we all recognize violence picturesquely, but what it is to be non-violent we hardly know or understand its import. Our natural instinct has a bias to lean towards the ill ( of course I am not generalizing ), and when it does, the careful... Sign in to see full entry.

The desire for power, in man a vicious weed Yet sprung from above, is of celestial seed; Directed by the ambitions of the mind Our sense organs, forgetting all sane teachings behind, Time and again compels our past mistakes to follow The dictates of Desire, and go on committing sins after sins The...

Man's Story Related to the Infernal Trinity

Satan the heaven-born was at first an angel that was with ways of God, fraught, And from an all-consuming spite 'gainst his King, was his brain-child Sin, brought. Together they conspired and join'd forces to usurp the heavenly reign But all efforts wasted and waned until it stymied into a slough of... Sign in to see full entry.

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?
