Everything you think you are, is a lie. Your interests in this world are a distraction from finding the truth.
While the transition from Chemistry to Biology on the early earth is still a mystery, just a look at the immensity of the observable universe (93B light years across and 13.7B years old) and our insignificant place in it should put magical revelations in the last 3500 years in the right perspective. No magical revelation has the weightage to trump the individual rights of any single person. It's a journey all societies have to make and we should do our bit to get them started.

Please start your Friday right, with this bit of fabulousness.

This rugby interview is one of the best sports interviews I’ve seen, as it keeps getting delightfully weirder as it goes on.

The NCRB data on farmer suicides, its omissions on the reasons, and Maharashtra's overwhelming representation in those figures reminded me of a key character from The Caravan's investigation into Judge Loya's death: Dr Makarand Vyawahare. (1/n)

Post-mortem examination was manipulated under directions of doctor related to Maharashtra cabinet minister

A new investigation reveals the enormous role played behind the scenes of the case by Dr Makarand Vyawahare, who successfully hid crucial facts such as a wound on Loya’s head. Vyawahare is the brother-in-law of Sudhir Mungantiwar, the finance minister in the BJP-led government in Maharashtra.

What if schools taught children more about how to wonder at themselves and this baffling world, how to discover what gave them the greatest joy in it, and how to make and nurture relationships with other people

While less about the facts of language, math, history, geography, and science

Instead of vice-versa, as it is now?

Religious worship of any kind - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, add religions not in this list

Is much ado about nothing

The whole idea is to run away from the real essence of what their religion is truly about

Which is - regardless of the religion you pick - that the ego must be dissolved to find, what is called in English language, God

Deep down, the people doing it, know it

Which is why they are passionate about symbols - gods, buildings, colors, rituals, festivals
