A cute kid







Kids are a joy. Especially a joy to shoot with a camera.

Here is my neighbour Shubham's son, Babu. He is all of 1.5 years old, already knows me and" Dad well ( calls Dad " Dadu" ) and is quite a handful ! Muahh !!!!

Took him to my room the other day and gave him  a small teddy. His open-mouthed wonder is really worth capturing !

Lord Shiva- the first bipolar

Image
  Bipolar. A person who is maniac and depressive alternately. Happy at one time, sad at another. The APA ( American Psychiatric Association) of USA, the imposing grand daddy of the global " mental healthcare system “ ,who decide arbitrarily via their network of psychiatrists worldwide as to what constitutes a mental disorder and what does not ( with gentle and not so gentle prodding from Pharma companies) ,says that people with bipolar disorder , " have extreme and emotional mental states that occur at distinct times, called mood episodes." And going by standard psychiatric literature, the occurrence of bipolar disorder is around 3% in the community (again, based on arbitrary and questionable criteria decided by psychiatrists ). Is that the case, really ? To critically examine this issue, let's look at the "case" of Lord Shiva, whom many of us worship daily, in all his glory.Lord Shiva is silent,medit

He defines “ I” as the sole phenomenon that drives the world, the Shiva tattva that is present inside us all , and I wholeheartedly agree with him. The Bhagwan would know- it was this “I “phenomenon which helped him to battle cancer undaunted till his death in 1950 . It was the same spirit which allowed my late father to battle lung cancer undaunted till his end . It is the same spirit that allows all of us to face life’s multiple problems everyday. Without “I”, there can be no “ We

Sufism- the call of divine humanity

Image
Sufism. The way of  divine humanity. The philosophy of love and syncretism. What is it all about, actually ? In a world of hatred and strife, where the  ISIS gains headlines everyday for the wrong reasons, it might be useful to recall the philosophy of the Sufi. The origins of Sufism are somewhat obscure, but broadly one of its earliest proponents was the   11th Century AD Persian (current day Iran)  philosopher and saint Ghazali , also known among his followers as " Sultan ul  Uluma", or king of scholars. The mantle passed on to his disciple Bahauddin , who was ostracized for the opposition of his  faith to traditional Islam. The inheritor of this tradition was, finally,  Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi . A prominent scholar ,  Rumi was  a sufferer of internecine strife , having been displaced from his hometown of Balkh to Konya,along with his father , who was ostracized for his opposition to hardline, scholarly Islam . He faced hardship created
