Early Men: The Art of Cooking

Author : Ranjith      Blog : A light hearted talk      Date : 6/19/2013 3:15:00 PM

'It was the third time the wild beast tried to attack them. It was surrounded on all sides by the early men sporting long beards and bodies covered with hair. Someone from the contemporary world would find it difficult to distinguish one man from the other or even the beast from the men. They coordinated with eye movements and addressed each other with sounds that only they could decipher. Their hands held a rock with a sharp pointed edge which was their only weapon. But their eyes w(...)'

The Philosophical Chat

Author : Ranjith      Blog : A light hearted talk      Date : 6/15/2013 5:19:00 PM

'If someone asks me as to what constitutes the universe, I would without any thought, say ‘Humans and the interaction between them’. It may be true that universal laws control everything right from the electrons to black holes. It may also be true that God is the creator and the answer to those questions for which man has not been able to give satisfactory answers. Delving deeper into science leaves us with no other answer except God and delving deeper into God, his origin, his power(...)'

When faith ceases

'She stood at the door of the dilapidated house. The paint was peeling off and the wall developed cracks. But still, the house looked attractive with the gleaming eyes of that lady. They expressed faith and hope - faith in that man and hope for a better life. She was lost in thoughts of those beautiful moments and the promise made. Her eyes hardly blinked and her thoughts never strayed away. The sun looked down at her with curious eyes continuing its journey. The pigeons hovered arou(...)'

Warning Signs - A Discussion

'Moving on the right path and getting things done at the earliest is a dream come true for all, be it the animate things like humans and the hard working ants or inanimate things like machines and computers. Distraction rules, the goal becomes hazier and things that ought not to be done are often the first things to get completed. Blame it on the asuras, chemical imbalances in the body or the mistakes committed by God while programming the brain- the harm is done. Removing those wron(...)'

My Gourmet Party - Recreating the Past

'Life is ever-changing. The sun rays no longer wake me up. The sparrows that once added charm to the house in my village have moved to their heavenly adobe. The playground has shrunk to fit itself on the video monitor. Life is moving at such a high speed that I fear losing the past for ever- the friends whose feet have left no part of the village untouched, the postmaster who bought the best and the worst of the news, the doctor whose words gave assurance and the grandmothers whose s(...)'

'Brahman is the creator, Vishnu is the preserver and Shiva is the destructor is an old version. The newer version is much more interesting and at the same time confusing too. Initiated by forces that are relatives of those responsible for the big bang, life blossoms in the womb. Aided by complicated surgeries, the doctor takes on the role of the creator. The innumerable tiny microscopic yet fatal creatures compete with one another to take on the role of the destructor. But the preser(...)'

Book Review : Toke by Jugal Mody

Author : Ranjith      Blog : A light hearted talk      Date : 5/20/2013 9:42:00 AM

'We have been taught in our childhood that Brahma creates, Vishnu preserves and Shiva destroys. Any child would interpret the above statement as an act of perfect coordination between the three Supreme Gods without whom the very existence of life is meaningless. The statement gives an impression of three supporting each other and making lives easier. But Jugal Mody, the author of Toke takes a different stand. The world of the three is as competitive as the world of humans. If Vishnu (...)'

'The clock keeps ticking. The sun rises and sets. The stars twinkle. The river flows and the winds blow. Amidst this perfect order with a tinge of chaos, life moves on. In the process, a memorable event occurs every second of our lives. Some of these moments bring a smile on the face while the remaining ones cast gloominess. They get stored in the inerasable memory - the brain - in the twists and curves. But alas! They can’t be accessed with ease and in most of the cases, it is forgo(...)'

But things don’t end on receiving the promotion. Higher positions imply higher amount of work and even greater effort to move to still higher levels. There may be a hundred people working under you but being accountable to the single person overseeing your work drives all the happiness out of you. It’s time to break free from the c(...)'

He used to appear from a cloud of smoke; the background score heightened and the audience clapping and shouting. There were neither statutory warnings or I wasn’t too old to be able to read them. Then came those days when people started classifying them - smoking and drinking as things unpardonable e(...)'

'The eyes analyse all that they perceive and derive their own conclusions lest they be deceive; but often they end up analysing the right things in thaw wrong way. The heart loves all those who deserve to be loved; but often to an extent where love itself becomes a curse consuming either the one who had loved or the one who has been loved. Life is strange and things happen the unexpected way, especially in love, but everything ends well; not necessarily by the union of the lovers.Thi(...)'

The colourful butterflies zoom towards those flowers that offer them their worthy share of nectar. And so, in a similar way, a woman dressed well and attractive, wishes that her husband be a good match to her, be appealing to others, have a smile that is attractive and above all be clean shaven! But, ra(...)'
