What the Ocean Gives Freely
The endless blue ocean looked calm, as though a soft blanket had been stretched over the Pacific as far as the eye could see—this was my view yesterday as I drove along Highway 1 from Cambria to Carmel-by-the-Sea. The drive itself was nothing new to me; I’ve traveled this route countless times. What took my…
The Path Seeker
An excerpt from the book I’m writing, The Path Seeker: Each day, as the sun slid toward the horizon, a different kind of magic stirred. The sky unfurled in deep oranges and soft purples, and with it came the winged performers of the evening. Dragonflies zipped past like tiny helicopters, their iridescent wings catching the…
I Like Going to Work Each Day
I like going to work each day. That may sound simple, even unremarkable—but it is not something everyone can relate to. For many, the workplace is a source of dread, tension, or quiet anxiety. I know this because I’ve lived it. I’ve worked in educational institutions long enough to understand the difference between a place…

“The Punjab Chiefs” Book’s Political Spin and Misinformation
The importance of writing ACCURATELY about history cannot be understated. As the world around fast changes to new trends and technology, so has our appetite for anything new, regardless of its source or accuracy.

A Gamut of Perspectives
Movies impact our lives in one way or another. They make us smile, cry, feel pain, and various other emotions. The Bollywood film industry has had a long passage of making movies known for their golden era showmanship to where it is now. But of late, I’ve noted that most Bollywood movies fall short of…
The End of Election Circus
Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is a definition of insanity. That is what is happening with the circus of elections every few years. It is well known that most political parties make false promises around the turn of the elections, but their corrupt fervor is ruthless once in power. The Congress…
A Lasting Remembrance
He was a man for all ages, futuristic, leader, community organizer, music lover, and he was also my father. He was the perfect blend of someone with a global mindset with ancient values inheritance. He taught me how to lead with inner strength, fortitude, and righteousness. He guided me through the ways of life in…
The Dark Side of Nepotism
The word nepotism is the practice among the powerful, influential, and wealthy individuals in favoring relatives and friends, especially by giving them jobs or contracts or other ways to provide them with monetary favors.

Of Realm and Regality
I remember the day I found out that my grandfather had passed away. Channi, our longtime driver/cook/handyman/and the father of our early childhood best friends, had picked up my two sisters and me after school, and instead of going straight home as on other days, we went to see a movie in the theatre.
