Last updated on: November 24, 2012 at 11:18 pm By Desh Kapoor

We all know that BCCI in its infinite and asinine wisdom has banned the photo-only organizations totake pictures on the field in the current India – England cricket series. So the press organizations which have collectively joined forces with these organizations – Getty Images, Action Images and two Indian companies – in not taking any pictures of these matches; are forcing the reporters to do something extraordinary to bring the action to the masses pictorially. Cartoons. Here are three! Art... Read more

Mobiles are jeopardizing AIDS fight in India by decentralizing prostitution

Last updated on: November 24, 2012 at 11:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

Indian strategists who were fighting AIDS had thought that they had found the way to stop the disease. By focusing on the high risk population. An example of the strategies that had been working can be found in Delhi’s red-light district on Garstin Bastion Road near the old Delhi railway station, where brothels have thrived since the 16th century. A walk through dark alleys, past blind beggars and up narrow, steep and deeply worn stone staircases brings customers into brightly... Read more

Western Spiritual Seekers vs Western Rationalist Mind: Curse of Materialism and death-knell for an important dimension

Last updated on: November 24, 2012 at 4:19 pm By Desh Kapoor

Came across a very interesting article titled “Death on the Path of Enlightenment: Inside the Rise of India Syndrome”. It talks of the Westerners who are drawn by the Spiritual aspect of India and get “afflicted” by a condition which some Western psychiatrists are calling “India Syndrome”. Basically, India Syndrome is a condition where a person gets besotted by India and after travelling to India comes back a delusional person going into bouts of hallucinations and weird imagination. The author... Read more

Is Reincarnation true? An insight (Video)

Last updated on: November 23, 2012 at 8:00 pm By Desh Kapoor

Please see this video carefully and see the arguments of the neuroscientist and the other guy who gives the “wow” factor example through cards. Their arguments are so flimsy that (i) they don’t explain how the subjects got so much right (and not just 3 factors) (ii) how they had the birth-marks apart from the correct narrations, at the same place the person had died in last life. And some of them go by the familiar path to refute the... Read more

Last updated on: November 23, 2012 at 12:50 pm By Desh Kapoor

A very insightful report on the situation in Gilgit Baltistan, where the Pakistani Government and authorities have unleashed the terrorist forces from Pashtun regions and started a process of Talibanization via sectarian (Shia vs Sunni) killings and more fanaticism. As the person from Gilgit says that these aren’t just some violent incidents but harbingers of the storm to come.

[soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/56291893″ params=”” width=” 100%” height=”96″ iframe=”true” /] Unbeknowst to most of us, there is a whole industry of creating new languages.
