The images are surely heart rendering, although the sceptics will say that with this news the TRps have boomed and the TV stations are making millions, the artillery factories are also counting the green notes, the various governments are scuffling.   But the heaviest weights are being picked up in small coffins by the parents. Realism can be punishing. Probabilistic scepticism is worse. It is difficult to go about life wearing probabilistic glasses, as one starts seeing fools of randomness all around, in a variety of situations-obdurate in their perceptional illusions. To start, it is impossible to read a historian’s analysis without questioning the inferences: We know that Hannible and Hitler were mad in their pursuits, and so are the ilks of Taliban and  Al-quida's. So what shall we do? Turn a blind eye and say All Izz Well. And keep waiting till the realization dawns on this fanatics of faith?   "We are twice armed if we fight with faith." Pla...

Perspective was better explained when I walked through National Geographic society’s latest exhibition.   In the world of photography there are not only B/W & Coloured scales there are grey scales as well. Now when one frames a shot, whose story are we telling? Was my query; Maggie stabber’s reply was “the real art of telling a story is behind the vision.” From a perspective, one can delude onese...

Is there at all or is there still a secret of the Veda? The heart of that ancient mystery has been plucked out and revealed to the gaze of all or rather no real secret existed. To get to the bottom of this secret, I packed my bags and took the journey to the remote Po Lin monastery in Hong Kong. The road to the top of the mountain though is rough and bumpy but the view and scenery around is spectacular.
