Feminine mystics
Woman is what man has made of her,” Osho often said. All the descriptions of ideal women created down the ages are nothing but echoes of ideas propagated by men. This is how they wanted to see women.
Special focus on training, research
Finance minister P. Chidambaram on Thursday proposed a hike of mere 7.5 per cent in India’s health budget.
A preface to yoga
Recently I came across a Hungarian TV channel documenting spiritual centres of India for the schoolchildren in Hungary. They said there is a big craze for yoga in the young generation. They were happy about it, but I felt concerned.
Why ladies first?
I remember, in my childhood when the younger kids played with older kids they were accepted reluctantly. The older ones couldn’t refuse the younger ones because it was their mother’s order to take the younger siblings along. So they would find a way out, they would call the younger ones “kachcha neebu” (a raw lemon) — not ripe enough to play with the older ones.
Let woman be human too
Man has double standards — worshipping the goddess who is an imaginery woman, and treating the real woman as a sex object. What could be the reason?

The New Year is greeted with so much enthusiasm and ecstasy that one feels the festive mood is going to remain so throughout the year.
Timeless ‘now’
You must have heard the sentence “your time starts, now” frequently on TV quiz programmes. Whenever the participants have to answer a difficult question the time appears to stand still, the timer starts ticking: tick-tock, tick-tock.
The feminine mystique
Can you imagine a man being conferred the title, “An honorary woman?” And that too by women, with utmost respect?
Of love and care
The childhood is glorified after people get older and look back on their childhood calling this phase of life “golden”. A lot of poetry and fantasy is created around this time.
Charity, a hearty flow
If you have not seen the West Somerset Heritage Railway you should do so for one reason: what it means to share joy with others.
