When we are limiting economics to merely explaining everything we mean it has limited application in using to control our affairs and direct economic behaviour towards the individual good or collective welfare. What we mean is that it is a mere post facto thing and not a tool for guiding the ... Read More
I have a different view on this .Intelligence is the ability to quickly grasp knowledge ,read patterns ,anticipate movements ,crystallise knowledge on the basis of available data,use words to further mental progression and direct flows of thought in groups.Wisdom is something more down-to-earth ...

If poetry is indeed emotion recollected in tranquillity or the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings as Wordsworth believed,it certainly cannot be translated because the language used by the poet is uniquely his own ,created as part of his own poetic experience.A translator may try to recreate ...

A funny realisation came to me that Americans are rather an insulated lot .The high pedestal they have been sitting on has blocked their view of the world and their relative insulation is borne out by the way the world media and internet are America-obsessed.People in America seem to believe that ...

When the past moments happened they were actually the present, which was just a boring succession of events and nothing seemed to actually happen.Now ,there is a haze which accompanies my past and the past moments are wonderful and inviting ,beautiful shells on the beach which I collect and fill ...

Do you exist if I do not believe you exist-is the question. Of course one is not sure.An objective reality cannot exist without somebody perceiving it.If you believe it still exists independent of your perception,you may do so but that is only a belief and hence is subjective. It is therefore safe ... Read More
The difficulty with justice is its variability in different spatial and temporal contexts .Today we call the burning of St.Joan a barbarous thing but at the time it took place not many consciences were disturbed. Similarly in the religious law practised in the Moslem countries ,several things which ... Read More
While confining ourselves to digital photography (instead of digital art),I don't understand why we cannot treat digital photography as an art. First of all the question arises as to if photography is an art at all .Just as all photography may not have the characteristics of an art,all digital ... Read More
That the rich should give away a part of their wealth to the poor is as much a need of the rich as it is to the poor. This is because there cannot be a society where some people have all the goodies all the time and the others remain in perpetual starvation.The rich cannot have amassed their wealth ... Read More
We are in business not merely for the "filthy lucre" but for the kick one gets out of making money or ,may be, as an activity pursued like any other creative pursuit like art, literature , music etc. which make you feel fulfilled.

Interesting .I have read somewhere that what is at work behind kindness is the "empathy neurons" which seem to be experiencing suffereing in others as though it is theirs. I mean whenever a kind man sees suffering ,something in him produces a similar kind of suffering in sympathy or rather in ... Read More
Nice guys finish last but they do not also last.Because they do not have the sheer grit and stamina required to push ahead.Bursts of creativity happen at the beginning but rarely last because in their anxiety to be nice they lose steam and it is the not-so-nice guys who surge ahead.In his poem "The ...

The moral system has necessarily to keep modifying in ... Read More

First of all,nothing can be permanent and long lasting ,which two terms contradict each other. Secondly ,the latter part of the statement namely that what is in nature or made by nature tends to be permanent while what is made by humans through a planned effort is of short duration is a matter of ...

We are talking about beliefs and faiths ,which may not entirely be founded on objective reality .Going to the Empire State Building and looking out from one side ,we may capture only 1/4s of Manhattan but one can always extrapolate the balance 3/4ths and conjure up a view as close to reality as ...
