Existence of God Debate - My Take

Image
Existence of God Debate If anything, Javed Akhtar’s recent debate showed why public conversations on deep, uncomfortable topics are essential for a healthy society. They pull complex ideas—like the contingency argument, infinite regress, and the philosophical structure behind belief—out of the closed rooms of academia and into everyday discourse. When common people hear these terms for the first time, they’re not just listening to a debate; they’re learning the vocabulary to think more freely. That’s how a society evolves—when ideas that once belonged only to philosophers begin circulating among ordinary citizens. We often treat certain topics as taboo—God, faith, meaning, morality—as if open discussion might break something fragile. But it’s actually the opposite: debates don’t threaten society; they strengthen it. They create intellectual oxygen. They teach us to disagree without dehumanising. They let people see that questions are not crimes. If anything, we need more of these debat...

Signature Wit: Aestheticisation of Oppression

Aestheticisation of Oppression When Jail Becomes a Badge That comedians in India are facing FIRs and jail for speech is deeply worrying. It should disturb us. It should make us pause. What worries me even more, though, is how this has slowly started to be worn as a badge of honour — almost as a career milestone Repression is not the problem here; romanticising repression is. The moment legal trouble becomes “cool,” something subtle shifts. Jail stops being a moral failure of the system and starts looking like a rite of passage. FIRs turn into proof of authenticity. Suffering becomes currency. And when that happens, injustice is no longer confronted — it is stylised. This doesn’t weaken the state; it normalises it. There is also a quiet privilege hidden in this trend. Only some people can afford to treat FIRs lightly — those with money, lawyers, platforms, and public sympathy. For countless others — teachers, writers, small-town artists — the same FIR can end livelihoods, not elevate pr...

Signature Wit - From Zen Koan

Yang-shan’s Sermon from the Third Seat A magician 🎩 ✨️ flew in from 🇮🇳  India one day. Yang-shan asked him, “When did you leave India?” The magician said, “This morning" 🌄 Yang-shan said, “What took you so long?” The magician said, “Oh, I went sight-seeing here and there on the way.” Yang-shan said, “You obviously have occult power, but you haven’t yet dreamed of the great occult power of the Buddha Dharma" The magician returned to India and told his followers, “I went to China 🇨🇳 to find Mañjuśrī, and instead I found Little Śākyamuni.”

⚜️ Redefining Masculine Beauty: From Olympus to Hastinapur For too long, the world’s idea of masculine beauty has borrowed its face from Greek gods — sculpted, pale, distant. But India 🇮🇳 never lacked its own icons of grace and strength. Our mythology is filled with kings and warriors whose beauty wasn’t cold perfection, but radiant vitality — a blend of tejas (inner glow), courage, and dignity. King Dushyant was said to turn heads even in the forest — beauty wrapped in command. Arjuna moved like poetry in motion, Rama’s presence radiated calm power, and Karna’s golden aura could silence a court. Their beauty was never just physical; it was moral, spiritual, and deeply human. It’s time to retire the marble men of Olympus and reclaim our own lineage of handsome — one that looks like light, earth, and resolve. In place of Greek gods, let’s raise our own pantheon of beauty — men whose faces reflected dharma, courage, and poise. Let the golden standard of masculinity be reborn from Sansk...

Signature Wit: The Door Dilemma

The Door Dilemma: A Love Letter to the Letter P It’s funny how often we find ourselves embarrassed not by complexity, but by a door. We stand there, momentarily frozen — hand halfway extended, confidence crumbling — because two words, both beginning with the same innocent letter P, decided to mess with human cognition. Push and Pull. Twin siblings separated only by intent, united by the same cursed consonant. They both start strong, assertive, optimistic — P! — but one demands force while the other begs finesse. The brain, in a hurry, doesn’t parse meaning; it just sees the shape, the starting letter, the rhythm. If only the words began differently — if one started with a soft curl of an E or a hard snap of a K — perhaps our instincts would win before our embarrassment does. But no, both had to start with P, like identical twins wearing different moods. Maybe designers should take a hint from languages that don’t make such linguistic traps. In Hindi, we could write “Dhakka” (धक्का) for...
