Chanakya was the first thinker among the ancients who not only authored a concept but also got it implemented by his supreme efforts. ‘He gave to the geographical entity-Aryavarta—a political or rather a national shape. This book characterizes him as the original author of the concept of ‘India—a nation’. His thinking marks a distinct change from the views of earlier thinkers. It was he who for first time exhorted the people to unite in the name of the country and not faith. One of the greatest figures of wisdom and knowledge in the Indian history is Chanakya. Chanakya is regarded as a great thinker and diplomat in India who is traditionally identified as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. Originally a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, Chanakya managed the first Maurya Emperor Chandragupta's rise to power at a young age. Instead of acquiring the seat of kingdom for himself, he crowned Chandragupta Maurya as the emperor and served as his chief advisor.

Ghar Vapsi reflects the journey of migrants, how their changing desires impact's on mindset. In order to balance the social/economical/financial status, there is huge movement of people is happening all around. With this story, I wanted to touch the short as well as long term challenges faced by immigrants while settling in their new home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution, solution, and solution everywhere. Just look around you. We all are surrounded by millions of products that claim to make our life easier, more comfortable, and more Luxurious. But Remember, when our chosen solution is not the real root cause of our problem, they may delay or temporarily resolve the issue. Still, it will return in a different form but with brutal impact and from various dimensions. Simply our chosen temporary and instant solutions make our problems more complex. Unfortunately, we have created a system where when one doesn't get exploited, others can't survive. We all are stuck in our own intelligence in a vicious cycle. Initially, we thought that exploiting these inferior/underdeveloped people could make our own comfortable and cozy castle. And protect ourselves by making the walls stronger and high enough that these deficient/underdeveloped people couldn't even cross. With these thoughts, humans keep increasing one charge at one side of the wall, but humungous, they forget the fundamental law of nature. The intensity by which you collect a positive charge on one side will automatically generate a negative charge on the other side of the wall. Nature always works on the tendency to be Neutral. Ultimately, with this approach to development, the destiny of destruction is set up by the most developed species!!!!

The story of an atheists search for universal ethics, God Is a Heartless Recluse demonstrates that theists claim of God as their Heavenly Father is delusional. A god who allows terminal childhood diseases, mass murderers, cannibals, and genocides is at best a heartless recluse. In reality, God is a figment of megalomaniacal minds that dont have the courage to accept the facts: Humans evolved from earlier primates. God is a human invention: animism, panpsychism, pantheism, polytheism, monotheism. The universe is indifferent to humanity. Paradise is a fictional luxury resort. Humanity is an adolescent civilization with the potential to mature, spread across the Milky Way, then to other galaxies and other universesto live forever in this eternal multiverse.
