“One sincere apology, and God forgives you for all your sins.” It sounds comforting. Reassuring. Almost poetic. But perhaps, it is also the greatest lie ever told to mankind. Religion, in its many forms, has often portrayed God as merciful — and He may well be. But to reduce divine justice to a simple utteranceContinue reading “The Greatest Lie Ever Told: That God Forgives Everything”

Marriage Had Different Purposes in Different Religions
Marriage, as we know it today, is often romanticized as the union of two people in love. But historically, and especially in the realm of religion, marriage was rarely about love. It was about function—about duty, lineage, order, purity, power, and control. Each religion assigned its own purpose to marriage. Some saw it as sacred.Continue reading “Marriage Had Different Purposes in Different Religions”
Why I Don’t Do Business with Women
Men are trained to perceive women in a particular way—through books, movies, literature, and culture—all of which were predominantly created by men. “Women don’t lie. They don’t cheat. They don’t hide their past. They don’t manipulate. They don’t steal. They are kind. They are angels. They aren’t greedy.” These are just a few of theContinue reading “Why I Don’t Do Business with Women”
No One Gets an Escape
God never makes anyone escape. That’s the truth we often refuse to accept. Look closely at anyone’s life—not just the highlight reel, not the curated social media feed, not the celebratory success story. Go deeper. Strip away the surface, and you’ll find cracks, burdens, betrayals, illnesses, losses, heartbreaks, disappointments. You’ll find pain. Different kinds ofContinue reading “No One Gets an Escape”
Before We Wash Their Feet, Let’s Learn Not to Spit on the Street
In India, we often say we are a “culture-rich” nation. We teach our children to fall at the feet of elders, chant mantras, and touch the floor after stepping on a book. Noble things, no doubt. But somewhere in the rush to pass down rituals, we forgot to pass down the basics of being decentContinue reading “Before We Wash Their Feet, Let’s Learn Not to Spit on the Street”
For Men, Sex Always Comes at a Price
For men, sex never really comes free. Strip away the fantasies, the Tinder swipes, the bar hookups, the arranged marriages, the dramatic affairs, or even the spiritual promises of celibacy — and you’ll still find one constant: a price tag. It may not always be money. But it is always something. Sometimes, it’s emotional currency. A manContinue reading “For Men, Sex Always Comes at a Price”
The Sweet Taste of Revenge: Why We Cheer When the Villain Falls
Revenge. It’s not the noblest of emotions. It’s not something we are taught to cultivate. And yet, if we are honest, it’s one of the most satisfying feelings a human can experience. Think about it. Would the Ramayana feel complete if Hanuman hadn’t set Lanka on fire? Would Rama be the same ideal hero if he hadn’t killed Ravana? WouldContinue reading “The Sweet Taste of Revenge: Why We Cheer When the Villain Falls”
The Forest They Forgot: When Hindu Rashtra Misses the Dharma Bus
While the self-proclaimed crusaders of Hindu Rashtra are busy globe-trotting, beating drums, basking in political glory, and celebrating life well into their 70s, one can’t help but ask — did they forget to read the very scriptures they claim to defend? Because Hindu Dharma, unlike modern political posturing, had a clear road map for life.Continue reading “The Forest They Forgot: When Hindu Rashtra Misses the Dharma Bus”
Cleanliness: India’s New Internet Obsession?
I’m not sure when it happened exactly. Maybe it was when the first Internet user discovered WhatsApp forwards. Or perhaps it was when Instagram reels started comparing Indian streets with Swiss footpaths. But somewhere between the first Facebook post and the thousandth “Swachh Bharat” selfie, Indians suddenly became cleanliness conscious. And that, dear reader, is aContinue reading “Cleanliness: India’s New Internet Obsession?”
The Brahmin Plate and the Indian Palate
India’s culinary diversity is unmatched. From Kashmir’s rogan josh to Kerala’s fish curry, from Punjabi butter chicken to Hyderabadi biryani — food in India isn’t just about taste. It’s history, geography, caste, religion, and politics — all served on a single plate. But what happens when one caste’s plate starts dictating the nation’s palate? Let’sContinue reading “The Brahmin Plate and the Indian Palate”
