Baba Ramdev, Fast Unto Death and The Yoga

If you are really worried about the effect of Baba Ramdev's fast unto death fiasco on The Yoga, remember following points:
  1. Baba Ramdev's Fast Unto Death has nothing to do with The Yoga or his Yoga capabilities.
  2. The Fast Unto Death that Baba started is purely political and there's nothing "Yogic" about it.
  3. This world is divided into two kinds of people - Who practice Yoga and who want to practice Yoga - some day. None of them would be shaken because of Baba Ramdev or any other Baba doing political stunt.
  4. People have heard enough examples of Sadhus going on fast days together and still surviving. Swami Nigamanand is a live example (My bad... He is no more. Govt was too busy fighting the fight against corruption and didn't get time to pay attention to this Swami, instead chose to focus on Baba Ramdev). There were cases in the past and there would be cases in the future too.
  5. Yoga is too powerful to fall just because one person preaching Yoga has not demonstrated it's power.
Even if we consider, Baba is acting genuine with his "Fast unto death", he was pushed to the corner by exiling him out of Delhi and not even allowing to enter Noida. He needed some escape route, and that's why others persuaded him to break his fast unto death.. simple .. Let's not worry about Yoga, but let's try and see how we can focus back on the fight against corruption.

Subscription Services

As the internet penetration increased over the last 2 decades, it also gave rise to digital subscriptions. The internet users slowly started developing trust in internet-based payments and that too on recurring payments. It probably started with the tech community using the recurring payment systems and slowly spreading that faith to non-tech-savvy users. There was also a phase when I started using the credit card for online transactions but wasn't comfortable storing the card details with the merchant. I used to enter the details every single time. (That is how I still remember the CC number that was in use at that time) In the late 2000's I was introduced to Ecom website development and since then it has been part of my professional as well as personal life. Over the years, I learned about the  PCI-DSS standard , and the extent to which the Ecom companies make an effort to protect consumer data. There have been instances of a data breach across the globe, but alon...

Movie Review: Chhota Bheem and The Throne of Bali

Image
Set in the beautiful islands of Bali, this movie is meant to entertain the kids. But unfortunately adults may not find it that interesting.  As usual, when Bheem along with his gang and King of Dholakpur reaches Bali, they find that Bali is in danger. Apparently, Bali's Queen is King of Dholakpur's sister and were invited for crowning ceremony of the prince Arjun. Upon arrival, Bheem and the team found that everything is devastated in Bali and there's no trace of Royal family including Arjun. After much of a search, Bheem finds the Rajguru (Royal Priest) who had helped the prince escape the wrath of the invader - Rangda.  The story line is pretty much predictable and there are no surprises till the end. Bheem needs to be the ONLY savior and it turns out to be that way. (This actually is a problem for children mentality, but I'll save the thoughts for some other time.) Overall animation is similar to the serial and there didn't seem to be any attempt...

Entering thirties....

To mark the occasion of my 30th birthday, I have started a new blog - " गोष्टी मनातल्या " - completely dedicated for articles, poems, thoughts, stories in marathi. Even though this blog witnessed many of the articles/poems in marathi, recently I started feeling that the blog is getting kind of cluttered because of the mix of the languages. And that called for an idea to start a blog dedicated for my marathi expressions. I hope to continue blogging at both places with equal or even with an increased frequency this year. Thanks for all those who visited my blog and encouraged me with their comments. Keep visiting!!
