Life Unpacked

Being born in a Brahmin household, I was bought up within the rigid barricades of "religion". I grew up listening to the mythological tales and was constantly reminded that those events in the stories have actually occurred. I was made to "believe" that there is a God, who is the master of fate, that if you ask anything from him with a pure heart and good intentions, God would grant it to you. I never asked questions, just followed what I was asked to do, not because I truly believed in it but because, I didn't have a definite reason not to . Perceptions started changing when I reached the age of fourteen, two year ago. As I got out from the cocoon of protected life, I encountered people with different mindsets and beliefs. I understood correctly how the world isn't just black or white. But due to the lack of a concrete reason for not believing, I continued assuming that there might be a God. But, as an avid ponderer, I always questioned God's exis...

Few days back during one of my random browsing sessions on the internet which usually takes place in my lunch break, I came across a car which at the first glance did look pretty but me being me, looked past it thinking as just another run of the mill car. All it took was a phone call from my friend who is a car enthusiast to convince me that this car indeed packs a punch. I did some digging and now, I can surely vouch for this beauty that is Datsun Redi-Go. Curious to know what are the features that made me fall for this car? Read on, and do not worry, this would not take too long as I have chosen only my top three features. Mileage Given the high price of petrol and diesel in India, it is no wonder that the first question on my mind when I am looking at a car is how much mileage would it give. In fact, a friend of mine who recently moved back to India from Kuwait admitted that now he knows why people in India are curious about mileage- a phenomenon he never understood when he ...
