Environment Day: Words in a World of Waste

Environment Day: Words in a World of Waste   Environment Day: Words in a World of Waste Environment Day comes each year on 5 th June with slogans and hashtags. This year too it has come with its own theme like any other year. On this day people do not miss the chance of complaining about how our environment has degraded since they were children and some even talk about what government should do to protect the environment. Some agencies or NGOs even start some project to care for environment. Yet oil is wasted, forests shrink, and care feels forgotten.  Vehicles piling up, odd‑even irony. Everyday you hear people complaining about how our environment has depleted. Some point out that air is toxic, hazardous not fit for living. But still no one actually contributes to improve it. Once the government started odd and even vehicles in Delhi/NCR to solve the pollution and what did people do, they bought more vehicles so that they are at ease. Smoggy skies and urban waste — the si...

Devotion Beyond Applause Forty Years of Silence and the Nobel Prize

Image
Devotion Beyond Applause Forty Years of Silence and the Nobel Prize Sometimes I wonder if my blog or reel matters. Then I read about those physicists—and remembered: quiet work isn’t wasted. It’s just waiting for its moment.   Sometimes I feel blogging and video making is not meant for me and it is just my hobby. But today when I saw the article about three persons getting a noble prize for quantum mechanics after doing actual work way back in 1984-85 , I was not only awed but also shocked simultaneously. Getting Nobel Prize after 40 years though the world is using their discoveries for around three decades. It is nothing but their devotion for their work. And still they stayed with it, through silence, skepticism, and shifting paradigms. Forty years is more than patience; it’s devotion to rhythm, even when the world isn’t listening.   At that time, I felt that your creative work is never wasted—it’s just a part of a longer rhythm, just like theirs. The Nobel Prize ...

Ahoi Ashtami: Threads of Love and Quiet Watching

Ahoi Ashtami: Threads of Love and Quiet Watching Night sky with soft stars twinkling A cultural and psychological reflection Under the soft night sky, a mother ties a red thread around a tree. Her child watches quietly, a water pot nearby. The thread glows faintly in the moonlight. Stars blink above, and the child smiles. Ahoi Ashtami is not loud. It doesn’t ask for applause. It’s a festival of watching, waiting, and quiet devotion—where mothers fast for their children’s well-being, and rituals unfold in stillness. The red thread, tied around a tree, becomes a symbol of protection, memory, and care.   🧠 Psychological Insight: The Power of Ritual and Silent Attachment From a psychological lens, Ahoi Ashtami offers a rich example of non-verbal caregiving . The mother’s fast, the thread, the water—all become symbols of secure attachment , where love is expressed through presence rather than speech. Children observing these rituals internalize a sense of emotional safety ...

Guru Purab and the Psychology of Presence

Image
  🌅 Guru Purab and the Psychology of Presence   On November 5, 2025, we celebrate Guru Purab—the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of Sikhism and a beacon of truth, equality, and devotion. Born in 1469 in Nankana Sahib (now in Pakistan), Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings continue to guide millions across the world. Founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus, His message was simple yet profound: There is one God, and all humans are equal. He taught us to remember God’s name ( Naam Japna ), live honestly ( Kirat Karni ), and share with others ( Vand Chakna ). These principles form the heart of Sikh life.   On this sacred day, we companion the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji —not as distant doctrine, but as living rhythm—not to perform, but to presence. The teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji offer more than spiritual guidance; they invite psychological attunement.   Psychological Effects of Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings: 🕊 ️ Naam Jap...
