  • WAS GANDHI A TANTRIC?

    A lecture by Nicholas F. Gier, Professor Emeritus, University of Idaho on the brahmacharya of Gandhi.

    It starts like this:

    My meaning of brahmacharya is this: “One who never has any lustful intention, who . . . has become capable of lying naked with naked women . . . without being in any manner whatsoever sexually excited.”

  • Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was (is) in orkut

    This is really sad. It is extremely disarraying for the mind to see something like this. A young man who is on Orkut, but who is not on earth. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who braved his life in the fight for Taj was on orkut. This is no fake profile. He has (or had? I am in a confusion) 78 friends, but unfortunately his scrapbook is locked. The profile is going to remain as a living monument of his bravery in orkut. I got this from a very small community called Anti-Terrorist Squad, from this Sandeep Unnikrishnan -NSG Commando thread

  • Wikibooks – books of the future

    It’s just a fascinating idea. A book. An ebook. That can be edited by anyone, anywhere, anytime. And a collection of these, available at a website. Only wikimedia can do that.
    The concept which I believe has been conveyed by now is one of the best merits that internet has brought to human beings. No writer may be complete by himself. But the latest form of literature removes that problem – of the incompleteness.

    So, to read complete books, go to wikibooks

    (If you want to learn about some other useful sites that offer e-book version of famous works click here)

  • How India can make the best out of the current global economic depression

    India and China were the two main powers of the world economy when trade flourished through the silk route.
    China gradually pulled away from world trade by 15th century. Then India was the greatest economy on earth. But at the same time India was gradually being brought under colonialisation.

    With the help of India (or rather by exploiting Indian wealth), Britain gained a great position in the then world economy. (18th century, 19th century)

    Then came the world wars. Most of the demand for loans and agricultural products was met by USA which gave them the benefit of being and international creditor. This made almost all other countries of the world debted to USA, except the mighty USSR which could manage by itself. But the USSR disintegrated wothout seeing the next century.

    That was how USA became the richest country in the world.

    Now, in 2008, USA is going through one of its toughest financial times. Many banks have gone bankrupt. They are desperate to recover. And it is this need of money that we must exploit. We have got a huge concentration of wealth in our banks and in some industialists’ pockets. If we use this wealth to recover those falling banks, then the world economy will gradually be in our pockets too.

  • GreenBrowser – a nice browser to deal with

    After using IE, Avant, Mozilla, Opera and Google Chrome, I found this browser – GreenBrowser.

    It looks like it has features unique from the other ones. Obviously it doesn’t have features exclusive to certain browsers like Firefox’s Quick find or Avant’s gestures. But it do have URL Alias, Proxy settings, One click save, Open link in new window mode, Easy access button and much more which I haven’t even explored. It has its own home page that has links to almost any website that you may use.
