A Really Interesting Way of Spending Time !


Folks! It is quite tragic that people get bogged down with unpleasant activities and things when the same time can be used in an engrossing way - I give this with the caveat that it should not become an addiction - but I present a link with a Radio Talk-show host, Rives, who gives an awesome talk on one of the more harmless ways of spending time. Get entertained and also get tutored!

Enlightened Interpretations




Exquisite Hoysala sculptures with defaced torsos and amputated arms are cited by some historians as examples of the carnage perpetrated by invading armies in India.  A more enlightened interpretation with a greater sense of understanding and love would describe these as the 'sensitive efforts' of Muslim sculptors who superimposed ‘some Islamic elements and Islamic motifs’ on an underlying Hindu aesthetic to bring about a grand synthesis of Hindu and Muslim cultures and traditions’

New ways of learning - how do we get to promote it?


Having spent my entire student life as a very bad student, I was always fascinated with the possibilities of making learning interesting and to push children to eagerly seek knowledge.  I was always scared that I just couldn't learn well enough and was even afraid to try.

This makes me to paste the link of a Ted Talk by Sugata Mitra who has interesting ideas on the matter and who has also done a few things on this aspect.
