Recently went through the book ' Autobiography of a yogi'.
A good book for those who are seeking the unknown. The author speaks about his experiences and introduces the readers to 'kriya yoga'.
There are various paths followed in sanathana dharma to reach god or obtain liberation. Those who have a keen interest in the path of yoga will find this book valuable.

Book Talk – The World is Flat
I could catch up with Thomas Friedman’s book at last and would definitely say that it’s one of the most interesting books I have read so far.
The author has done a great job in capturing the history of the globalized world in 21st century. A powerful writing that gives us snapshot of the current world. The book also talks about what made the world flat, the portions of world which are still not flattened and the possible direction it is headed towards. The flow of the book goes this way.
How the world became flat
America and flat world
Developing Countries and flat world
Companies and the flat world
Geopolitics and the flat world
Conclusion: Imagination
Author’s understanding of the scenarios around the world is truly unbelievable. This book helps us to understand the opportunities and threat that the ‘Flat World’ has opened up for all of us.
Every individual, who wants to make use of the flat world, has definitely a lesson or two to learn from the book. For me, the key take ways from the book are ..
1. The Flat world has a plethora of opportunities in store for you irrespective of your nationality, language and geographical location.
2. You should become an ‘Untouchable”* as fast as possible. (* A person’s skill set being unique and special that his job can’t be touched/replaced by another person in the globe so easily).
3. There’s a poorer world which you need to look at and strive for connecting them on to the flat world.
4. There are mind blowing threats that the flat world faces. Have them in mind but don’t get too scared for them …Be optimistic.
5. You should have more dreams than memories.
(“Does your society have more memories than dreams or more dreams than memories? When memories exceed dreams, the end is near...”
“If we go dark as a society, if we stop being the “world’s dream factory”, we will make the world not only a darker place but also a poorer place.)

Equality before God
It's disheartening to see a lot of reports in the newspapers regarding 'entry barriers' in places of worship. I am not sure whether we truly respect GOD or religion, if we are doing this.
'Entry Barriers' based on caste or religion comes to the notice of media immediately. But there are other types of discrimination which have become a way of life and we do not even complain about them. I am talking about fast darshans, quick darshans and VIP darshans which have become order of the day in many ( famous) temples. It is highly discriminatory that one should be made to wait longer in a queue simply for the reason that one is not able to afford a quick entry ticket or one is not a VIP.
If we have such discriminatory practices in places of worship ( which we consider as holiest), It will be long time before we can even imagine of equality in the society.
Let's strive to make equality come true..!!
Photo for the blog
When I thought of having a picture on the header of the blog, I could only visualize the picture of eyes.
Point of View is the way in which one sees or perceives an event and need not be the correct stand point.
Different things are viewed by different people in different ways . So , thought of having lot of eyes on the picture. All the more as you all know this would compensate for the 'i' that went missing on the address of the blog.
'i' Missing in point of view
Immediately after creating this blog, I started giving links to this page from the other pages. Then something interesting came to my notice.
I had missed 'i' in the word point when creating the blog address. This was definitely an error of omission ( or you can call it tearing hurry that ended in a mistake too). I thought , I should create one more address and abandon this id.
There is no Point of View , if 'I' ( Ego) is missing , but still thought that there is going to be a lot of emphasis on 'I' ( or my point of view rather) on this blog. So , nothing wrong in missing an 'I' in the address.
Point of View
I would like to express my point of view on whatever I think, speak, hear, do , see on this blog.
