The Secret of the Nagas Revealed !! Now to the Vayuputras!

By -
The post comes late...really late...but I completed this book(The Secret of the Nagas) early last week itself...it was really interesting and even more gripping than the first one (The Immortals of Meluha).

Its amazing how the mythological story all falls into place but with very very interesting and modern perspective....I actually had to finish the book late into the night..around 2am...because it really was un-put-downable!....

Now I am about halfway into the third and last book of the Shiva Trilogy by Amish Tripathi - The Oath of the Vayuputras..and this one too continues to unfold amazing secrets and keeps you glued on...this one is about twice the length of the second....but am sure i'll finish it this week :) ...

any suggestions on what to go onto next???

The World of 2040 for Our Children

I sometimes wonder, in today’s world of technological and information overload, what are the indispensable skills that we as parents should empower our kids with to be prepared for the world in 2040’s as they venture into their work life? Will it be beneficial in 2040 that my child can code in scratch/ Javascript/ C# ? Will it matter they can do long division of a 6 digit number ? Will it be helpful that they could solve fractions and quadratic equations in Grade 6 ? I found the answer for all these questions to be NO. It won’t be beneficial. It won’t matter. And it won’t help. In today’s day and age, our children have a tsunami of information. Not wealth, tsunami. There is no end to the data available to them if they have access to internet (and lets be real, who doesn’t?). And the concern is that it is un-censored, un-checked information. A multitude of opinions and accounts from every Tom, Dick and Harry about every subject you could imagine. Even as adults, we struggle to

Diwali or Deepavali (deep - earthen lamps and avali - row of) is the biggest and most popular festival of Hinduism. It symbolises the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. It is celebrated on the new moon day of the Kartik month of the Hindu lunar calendar which usually falls between mid October and Mid November. Historically, there are many legends to the origins of Diwali. Some believe it is the celebration of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi’s birthday - the goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity. Diwali also commemorates the return of Lord Rama from his 14 year long exile back to his kingdom Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman after vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. On their return, the kingdom of Ayodhya was illuminated with earthen lamps and festivities to welcome their lord. In the modern day, Diwali is celebrated with a lot of pomp and show. On the day, people clean and decorate their homes, dress up in their best outfi
