Went to a friend's house in Mumbai. Each flat there is worth at least Rs. 4 crores (a new one in that locality will cost Rs. 6 crores). The watchman was missing....and I just saw him coming in. I had time so I chatted. He was a BRAHMIN from Bihar. No that is not the tweet. He had gone to relive himself -AT A NEARBY garden which had a loo. This building did not have a loo for him, he had a broken plastic chair (some had me down cushions kept it company), and a much used 2 litre bisleri bottle. He got it filled from a nearby garden. 12 hour shifts, and a grand salary (what he got from the agency) was Rs. 17000. What is WRONG with us?

Vishnusahasranama has played a very pivotal role in my life. I was introduced to it fairly late in life and coincidentally at the darkest point of my life. Its hard to explain in words the amount of strength and positivity it brought into me. It changed my life and elevated me to the place i am at today! You might have all the free will in the world, but you need the right drive and energy to act on that free will to execute and harvest its fruits. In my life, vsn gave me that strength and energy. It was the power which illuminated my mind to walk the path to seek out the things i wanted and find them. From not being able to twist my tongue to correctly read even the first few lines to having it memorised to the T, i have come a long way. And complete credit of it goes to MS Amma whose rendition I followed. I would play her rendition out loud in the background as I tried to read the text. It helped immensely! For anyone who is in a difficult place in life right now, try chanting vishnusahasranama twice a day. We try so many things for wellness and health, chanting vsn for 30 min twice a day is one of the best therapies you can give yourself, and its free!

Infosys asked employees to return to office under its hybrid policy Now employees are asking a very simple question: Why spend hours getting to office just to sit on calls with teammates working from somewhere else? If the work is still online and the team is still remote, what exactly is the office fixing?

Ramanujacharya visited Simhachalam and Sri Kurmam temples during 11th century CE, after he had won a debate at Puri Jagannatha Temple. There was a belief then that the deity at Simhachalam was Shiva, because of it's rather unusual posture , the gate at the foothills called as Bhairava Dwaram, and one of the temple tanks being named as Gangadhara. However he debated with the scholars there, that Varaha Narsimha's posture was in accordance with Pancharatra Agama. He also laid down the religious practices and customes to be followed in Simhachalam and Sri Kurmam, as per the Satvata Samhita, one of the 108 texts of the Pancharatra Agama. Both temples follow those practices to date, which are similiar to the ones followed in other Vaishnava temples like Tirumala, Sri Rangam, Varadaraja Perumal temple in Kanchipuram.
