 Enchanted by the Mystical Nidhivan: A Pilgrim's Tale When I close my eyes and imagine the ethereal realms of Hindu spirituality, my thoughts drift towards a place called Nidhivan in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh.

 Science and Superstitions: Analysing the Mysteries (Part 2)   I regularly explore the complicated relationship between science and superstitions as an explorer of the world around me. While superstitions frequently rely on beliefs passed down through generations, seemingly defying rational thinking, science aims to explain the universe via evidence-based knowledge. Could you come along with me as I investigate superstitions and determine where they came from? Walking under a ladder brings bad luck : More than mystical forces, practical safety concerns are probably the source of this superstition. Accident risk increases when walking beneath a ladder because objects like tools or equipment could fall from above. Thus, it makes sense that this belief—admonishing people to stay away from possibly risky situations—evolved. Breaking a mirror results in seven years of bad luck : This superstition finds its roots in ancient times when mirrors were scarce and expensive. Breaking a mi...
  Breaking the Chains: Exposing Casteism's Hidden Roots in Indian Cultures As I reflect upon the deeply ingrained societal norms of my Indian culture, one aspect strikes me the hardest: casteism. Growing up, casteism was an enigma, perpetually intertwined with our lives, shaping our beliefs and actions. However, as I delve deeper into understanding the origins and implications of casteism, it has become evident that the true reason behind this phenomenon lies not in our culture, but rather in our misunderstanding and misinterpretation of it. To comprehend the essence of casteism, one must acknowledge its historical roots. The caste system was initially devised to ensure specialisation in various occupations, fostering social order and harmony. Alas, over time, this structure morphed into a rigid social hierarchy, with birth determining one's worth. This distortion has fuelled discrimination, prejudice, and inequality, tearing apart the very fabric of our society. The rampant mi...
