Three years ago, I had a severe muscle spasm in my back. A top neurologist at Apollo Hospital suggested I get an MRI scan. My wife, being the research-savvy person she is, immediately looked up the prices online. What she found was baffling: MRI scans were priced very differently at different centres — and ApolloContinue reading “Why I Avoid Adventure Activities in India “

Why Should Saints Be Poor While Tycoons Break a Coconut and Become Billionaires?
In India, there’s an unspoken societal script that goes something like this: “Saints should live in austerity. Teachers must survive on gratitude. Astrologers? Oh, they shouldn’t charge — it’s a ‘divine gift’ after all.” But the rest of the world? They can break a single coconut at a temple, throw in a 10-rupee note, andContinue reading “Why Should Saints Be Poor While Tycoons Break a Coconut and Become Billionaires?”
Happy Father’s Day
This year, Father’s Day falls on June 15th, 2025. Coincidentally, it also happens to be my father’s birthday. He passed away in 2005, at the age of 64, when I was 30. I stayed with my father until I turned 17—then I moved to a hostel, and later, to another city for work. In allContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day”
If God is Good, Why Is the World So Broken?
This is the question that has plagued saints and skeptics alike. “If there is a God — and if He’s good — why do we see so much suffering?” Why poverty? Why war? Why the collapse of buildings? Why the death of innocents in train accidents, plane crashes, or fire mishaps? Why famine in aContinue reading “If God is Good, Why Is the World So Broken?”
What’s the astro-numerological importance of seat number 11 A!

Do I Exploit the Gullible?
There’s always this blanket accusation that astrologers exploit the weak and the gullible. Sure, that may be true for some — just as it is in any field where belief meets commerce. But after 22 years of practicing Hindu Vedic Astrology, let me offer a more nuanced view. Humans, contrary to popular belief, are notContinue reading “Do I Exploit the Gullible?”
Life is a Strange Phenomenon: Knowing Everything, Yet Changing Nothing
There’s a certain irony to life that both fascinates and frustrates: “Life is a strange phenomenon — you can know everything beforehand, but still cannot change it.” As a Vedic Astrologer with 22 years of experience, I’ve seen this irony unfold not just in my consultations, but also in the very scriptures that anchor ourContinue reading “Life is a Strange Phenomenon: Knowing Everything, Yet Changing Nothing”
When Faith Becomes Convenience: A Mirror to the Followers, Not the Scriptures
Religions were never meant to make life comfortable. They were designed to make it meaningful. They offered frameworks—disciplines of the heart, mind, and action. But somewhere along the way, each faith started becoming less of a path and more of a product. And the followers? Consumers, cherry-picking what suits their moods, fears, and desires. Christianity asksContinue reading “When Faith Becomes Convenience: A Mirror to the Followers, Not the Scriptures”
Why I Stopped Predicting Cricket Matches
Back in 2019, I predicted the outcomes of both Cricket World Cup semifinals and the final match with pinpoint accuracy—right on my YouTube channel. Not just those three; I managed to predict the rest of the tournament’s results with around 70% precision. Here are the links, in case you’re curious: • England vs New ZealandContinue reading “Why I Stopped Predicting Cricket Matches”
The Piety of the Corrupt: India’s Spiritual Smoke Screen
In India, the more corrupt and deviant a person is, the more pious he or she appears. Temples are built on bribes, ashrams thrive on black money, and spiritual gurus offer blessings in exchange for silence. The irony is staggering: the same hands that loot the nation fold in prayer, the same tongues that lieContinue reading “The Piety of the Corrupt: India’s Spiritual Smoke Screen”
