Bhagwad Gita is not a Message. Not a book. It is a Process.

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 11:43 pm By Desh Kapoor

Unlike popular belief and suggestions by the great “thinkers” and intellectuals, Bhagwad Gita is not a message. It is certainly not a book. It is a process. A process of raising consciousness. If it was a book, it would have been very easy. Krishna would have thrust the book into Arjun’s hands at night and asked him to read and come prepared to fight the Mahabharat in the morning. Why fret? Why spend time in “Viraat Roop” etc? If it... Read more

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 9:36 am By Desh Kapoor

The Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is very common amongst those who have experienced the trauma like being in war, being sexually assaulted etc. But now a new study at John Hopkins shows that the PTSD symptoms are also common amongst those who have been at the ICU for medical situations. One in three people who survived stays in an intensive care unit (ICU) and required use of a mechanical ventilator showed substantial post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms that lasted...

How a being blossoms the Isha way

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 7:09 am By Desh Kapoor

Sometimes one does not fully understand the import of things that Sadhguru says until you see it in a radical way. He keeps emphasizing upon the ability of the Isha practices and ways to make a person “lighter” and “Happier”. Given the rigmarole that most of us go through in life, it is rather hard to see it in yourself very clearly. Yesterday, I met with this meditator. Saw her after almost a year. In those months she has been... Read more

Gender Bias in Job postings turn women off from applying

Last updated on: March 2, 2013 at 1:04 pm By Desh Kapoor

A recent study by Gaucher, Friesen, & Kay published in American Psychological Association has suggested that gender-biased words used in advertising create significant issues for women psychologically when applying for jobs. That, job descriptions that lack feminine-gender words actually repel female applicants! The hypothesis the team started with was that “to women, masculine-themed words alerts them to the possibility that they will not fit or do not belong”. To test the team created feminine oriented and male oriented advertisements. And... Read more

Vodafone Australia takes Call Center jobs back from India

Last updated on: March 2, 2013 at 12:48 pm By Desh Kapoor

The new trend is to move the jobs that had been outsourced to India and China back to the country of origin. It is happening in the US. And this is another reminder that this is also happening in Australia. Vodafone Australia is doubling the size of its Tasmanian call centre, as 750 new jobs are being created in Australia.

Dhoni’s Double Ton (Video) against Australia in the 1st Test in Chennai (Feb 2013)

Last updated on: March 2, 2013 at 12:19 am By Desh Kapoor

The first test between Indian and Australia recently saw a superlative batting performance from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, when many had written him off. And when he started hitting, he really hit them hard. What a performance that was. The Australian media seems to be hit bad after the massacre their bowlers faced against Dhoni… and they weren’t so charitable about the fact that he earns a lot in other forms of cricket. The 31-year-old supposedly prefers the smash-and-grab of the... Read more

Are we headed to a completely virtual age? An age of augmented reality? Well, the way the tech giants are coming out with their new gear, it surely seems so! Google’s coming out with its glasses – “Google Glass.” Apple’s revving its “iWatch.” Skiers are already getting text messages on their goggles.

Is Intoxication good or bad: Religions can’t decide.

Last updated on: March 1, 2013 at 12:22 am By Desh Kapoor

Is intoxication good or bad? Judgments are made in religions and in societies. Some are clear, some aren’t. For as long as drugs and alcohol have existed, society and religion have weighed judgment on their consumption. In ancient Egypt beer was a gift from Osiris, while in ancient Greece many praises were sung to Dionysus, god of the grape harvest and life of the party. However, many of the world’s younger religions have not been so friendly toward intoxicants. Buddhists,... Read more
