Last updated on: February 11, 2013 at 9:43 pm By Desh Kapoor

This is interesting. A full fledged tunnel was being dug under the jail. The authorities do not know who was doing it but the jail had the accused from the Akshardham blast case housed in it. Sabarmati Central Jail officials in Ahmedabad have discovered an 18-feet-long tunnel inside the prison where 14 of the accused charged with the attack on Akshardham temple are currently incarcerated, a CNN-IBN report today said. Prison authorities estimate that the tunnel, leading from the ‘Chhota... Read more

Pope Resigns: Did he fear the Perfect Storm over uncovering of Vatican Bank’s Scandal and Money Laundering

Last updated on: February 11, 2013 at 9:06 pm By Desh Kapoor

The Pope at the Catholic Church has resigned. Pope Benedict XVI will step down on February 28th. The reason that is being given is that the Pope’s health is down and his age advancing. Well, this is the first time in 600 years that a Pope has resigned – health or no health. It seems that the Catholic Journalist Antonio Socci foresaw Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation back in 2011. The Pope wanted to see calmer waters and not a Church... Read more

Why was the crowd in Allahabad Lathi Charged leading to Stampede?

Last updated on: February 10, 2013 at 10:16 pm By Desh Kapoor

In an unfortunate turn of events 20 (possibly more) people have died in a stampede in Allahabad. These pilgrims were there for the Maha Kumbh. Now, I have been looking at many news outlets and except for one, no one is reporting why the railing collapsed? It is being made out as if the crowd made it happen. Well, FirstPost says it clearly that a “cane-charge” happened on the crowd in the railway station before the railing gave way. District... Read more

Sikkim’s Glacier lakes with billions of liters of water are a ticking time bomb!

Last updated on: February 10, 2013 at 9:12 pm By Desh Kapoor

A devastating flood disaster is waiting to happen in Sikkim! If only one will awaken to it. Analysis of satellite data has revealed that the lake has formed at the snout of South Lhonak glacier, that is about 7,000 metres high on the mountain in the northeastern state. The lake, bounded by loose soil and debris, could cause havoc downstream if it ruptures, according to scientists at the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) in Hyderabad. The lake is 630 metres...

Chito and Pocho: How a Costa Rican man has a Crocodile as his best friend

Last updated on: February 10, 2013 at 5:47 am By Desh Kapoor

Amazing story of love and friendship across species. Deep in the Costa Rican jungle, a fisherman named Chito discovered a crocodile that had been shot in the eye by a cattle farmer and left for dead. Chito was able to drag the massive reptile into his boat and brought him to his home, where he stayed by his side for months, nursing him back to health.

My Mother is “no more”

Last updated on: February 8, 2013 at 1:14 pm By Desh Kapoor

Death is a strange phenomenon. Specifically for a Spiritual seeker. During the Mahabharat War, Bhishma had been put on a bed of arrows by Arjun – having shot him many times. But Bhishma didn’t leave his body. He hung around alive till after the war was over and willingly left his body on the Ekadashi (the 11th day on the Lunar calendar). Death on Ekadashi is said to be most beneficial as the energies are aligned in a way that... Read more

Stop “Being Good”. Be Human

Last updated on: February 7, 2013 at 11:10 am By Desh Kapoor

Stop being good! Just be. We have this whole mechanism in the world where Morality and Being Good has been given over importance. It is nonsensical. “When our humanity overflows, divinity descends,” Sadhguru tells us in this video. Looking at the reason why our humanity can get “constipated”, he tells us that devotion allows our humanity to find expression, and stresses the importance of devotion as a way of being, rather than as an act.
