Rasa World is a newsletter about a rapidly changing world where tech is increasingly eroding culture & our ability to connect. The essays are short but encourage a reader to reflect on latest trends in this space and what they mean for us as human beings. rasajournal.substack.com

Last year, I started sending out a monthly newsletter @Rasajournal as an experiment & have had 16 new subscribers. While we are hooked to big numbers, this is quite lovely to me because it means people do want thoughtful writing about culture. More here:rasajournal.substack.com

Tomasetti’s paintings of India are exquisite! Interviewed him for @Rasajournal a few years ago where he spoke about his aesthetic inspirations, what drove him to paint Mahabharata, and how he developed a unique style of his own. rasajournal.substack.com/p/reimagined-s…

A glimpse of Kashi in Rome! Mr. Giampaolo Tomassetti, an Italian painter, presented his work on Varanasi. His passion for Indian culture goes back over four decades. In the 1980’s he started as an illustrator for books on Vedic culture. From 2008 to 2013 he worked on 23 large paintings relating to the Mahabharat.

Abundance, after all, cannot only be material. It is just as emotional, spiritual, and transcendent. In achieving that abundance, we can actually allow dopamine to perform its function correctly.

At the heart of this is the truth about what dopamine really wants— abundance. It serves a vital human need but in modernity, that has been turned on its head.

René Girard, a French philosopher, posited that our desires are hardly ever our own. We desire what others desire. In a globalised, individualised, & hyperconsumerist society, that can leads to utter chaos. Dopamine, the “happy” hormone, shows us how. rasajournal.substack.com/p/what-dopamin…

What happens when you are constantly goaded to desire more and more and when your ability to exercise personal control is eroded more and more? Chaos, obviously. But what drives such behaviour at the very root of our being? Read more here— rasajournal.substack.com/p/what-dopamin…

No matter how chaotic, terrible, and impoverished the realities around us, our inherent desire towards order, harmony, and abundance is much more significant. It is, in fact, the root of life itself. On war and paper straws, more here- rasajournal.substack.com/p/war-and-pape…

War is pointless unless it is carried out to defend and protect something invaluable and art is pointless if it does not edify us about what life is without its beauty. What Konark Sun Temple’s wheels can teach us about life 👇🏼 rasajournal.substack.com/p/war-and-pape…

Using paper straws with everything that’s going on in the world feels silly, to put it mildly. But is it really? On war, art, and our collective efforts towards survival. Read more here—rasajournal.substack.com/p/war-and-pape…

We talk a lot about empowering women but what does it really mean? The Age of Reason gave us an overarching definition of empowerment, which was validated by a successive generations of feminists and academics. But was it all that was needed? rasajournal.substack.com/p/wollstonecra…
