Modern science is often divided into disciplines—physics for particles, chemistry for reactions, biology for life. Yet beneath these apparent separations lies a single, unifying principle that governs matter, cells, life, and the universe itself: From subatomic particles to living cells, the interaction and controlled movement of opposite charges create matter, bonds, energy, and life itself.

Krishna remains one of the most studied figures of South Asian civilisation. His image moves across scripture, history, philosophy, and culture, carrying with it both admiration and controversy. Whether understood as an epic hero, a divine incarnation, or a cultural archetype, Krishna has left an imprint that extends far beyond India’s borders. In the Mahābhārata

In a world fractured by haste, spectacle, and short-term gain, what compass can still guide us toward a life of substance? Not merely of achievement or appearance, but one that feels rightly lived — inwardly coherent, socially responsible, and quietly extraordinary? The Sanskrit triad Satyam Shivam Sundaram — truth, goodness, beauty — is one such

Walk into a church. A mosque. A temple. The rituals look worlds apart — hymns rise, heads bow, incense curls through the air. But beneath the symbols, there’s one unmistakable common thread: Everyone is speaking without expecting a reply. Call it prayer, meditation, chanting, or reflection.

Imagine, for a moment, that everything you think you know about yourself is an illusion. Not in a scary, existential-crisis kind of way—but in a liberating, life-changing one. This is what the Buddha discovered 2,500 years ago, and his insights still shake the foundations of how we see ourselves today. Most of us walk through

Life is beautiful. I often think of this simple truth, though its edges are not always soft. We all emerged from nature — from soil, water, sunlight — and one day we will return, mingling again with the quiet earth. Yet somewhere between these two mysteries, we live out a tangled story. The nature we

A quiet mind is the true birthplace of effortless words. Here’s how to cultivate it, day by day. Most of us believe fluent speech comes from quick thinking, clever ideas, or a sharp tongue. We chase books on persuasion, rehearse perfect phrases, and try to dazzle with polished opinions. But if you’ve ever listened to

We’ve all known people whose behaviour puzzles us — the colleague who dominates every conversation, the friend who constantly seeks praise, the family member who withdraws at the first hint of conflict. At a glance, we shrug these off as quirks: “That’s just how they are.” But often, beneath the surface, these reactions reveal deeper,

What does it mean to love — not merely to be stirred by another, but to be wholly transformed by something that dissolves the self? In India’s vast spiritual and literary inheritance, love appears in many guises: as tender devotion, mischievous play, fearless surrender, or a secret alchemy meant to strip away ego. From Krishna’s
