I spotted this little squirrel in the garden of my daughter’s school this morning when I went there for her parent teacher meeting.

It was sitting quietly on the wooden garden structure, surrounded by so much greenery. I wasn’t expecting to find such a cute little visitor during a school visit, so of course I had to capture the moment.

A small, unexpected encounter that made the visit a little more special.

We often think learning means collecting more information, more opinions, and more beliefs.

But real learning may begin only when we are willing to question what we already think we know.

Inquiry means looking closely, asking “Why?”

and finding out for ourselves rather than simply accepting something because we were told to believe it.

What do you think

Can there be real learning without questioning?

The world can take many things away from us—money, comfort, relationships, opportunities, even things we deeply value.

But there is one thing that still remains with us:

Our power to choose.

When someone criticizes me, do I react with anger or try to understand?

When things don’t go according to my plan, do I become frustrated or accept what is?

When someone disagrees with me, do I try to prove myself right or look at the situation honestly?

These small choices show where I am living from—truth or ego.

The situation may not always be in my control, but how I respond to it is still my choice.

“Nothing and nobody ever can take away from you your power to choose.”

I came across this view during a trip and it honestly felt unreal.

A calm river flows through the valley, dense green mountains in the background, and these beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers hang over the water. There was something incredibly peaceful about the whole scene.

No crowds, no buildings, no artificial beauty — just the sound of the river and the mountains covered in green.

I just click the picture, and looking at it again

today reminded me how some moments in nature stay with you much longer than expected

Would you stop here for a while if you found a place like this? 🌿

I recently came across The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank.

What struck me about this book is that it isn’t just a historical account of war or persecution. It is the diary of a young girl trying to understand herself, her relationships, her fears, her hopes, and the world around her while living through an unimaginably difficult time.

It made me wonder:

How much can a person’s inner world tell us about the world they are living in?

For those who have read Anne Frank’s diary ,

what stayed with you the most after finishing it?

Did you see it more as a historical document, a coming-of-age story, or simply the honest voice of a young girl trying to make sense of life?

Veganism fundamentally arises from sensibility and compassion. That same sensibility and compassion requires us look closely and reconsider our other personal choices as well.

Bringing a child into a world which is already overpopulated and facing a massive challenge like climate change is a crime. This tendency of reproduction is the fundamental driver of extinction of animals, habitat loss and pretty much every other issue we see in the present world.

Deciding to be childless is massively massively more impactful towards removing animals exploitation than just switching our diets.

So I ask you:

If someone really wants to raise a child...why not adopt? Why should one biologically reproduce? As a vegan, what are your thoughts on this? Are you willing to decide to go child free?

I recently came across this beautifully designed little book on Rumi.

The cover itself caught my attention, but what interested me more was the idea behind it

“The Garden of the Soul, the Heart, and the Spirit.”

I’m curious about how this particular interpretation of Rumi compares with other English translations.

For those who have read Rumi extensively:

Is this a good book for someone beginning with Rumi?

Which translation would you recommend if the goal is to understand Rumi rather than just read beautiful quotes?

Would love to hear your recommendations.

No long captions.

Just one word.

What comes to your mind when you see this?

Here’s some memories from London.

“Khalak Sab Rain Ka Sapna” - Sant Kabir Saheb | London Sangat Session

What a beautiful reminder from Sant Kabir Saheb : this entire world is like a dream of the night. The people, possessions, victories, defeats, and identities we cling to are all fleeting. Sant Kabir Saheb calls us to awaken to that which is real and everlasting.

This video was recorded during our time in London, where friends from Canada and Germany came together after attending the enlightening sessions of Acharya Ji. Brought together by a shared love for Truth and Saint’s wisdom, we spent time singing, reflecting, and simply enjoying each other’s company.

The setting couldn’t have been more vibrant, a colourful park filled with life, while BMX riders performed incredible flips in the background.

May these songs inspire us to look beyond the passing dream and seek the Truth Kabir Saheb points towards.

Recorded in London, UK
With friends from Canada and German
In gratitude to Sant Kabir Saheb, Baba Bulleh Shah, and Acharya Prashant

This isn't a call to be reckless. It's an invitation to stop letting fear, comfort, and the need for approval shape our lives.

How much of what we call "security" is actually just fear wearing a respectable mask?

I just saw a media interview by Acharya Prashant addressing the recent NEET exam paper leaks, the resulting tragic student suicides, and the ongoing hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk.

He didn't just give a generic statement or a fast reaction. His statement can be broke down into three parts—to Wangchuk, to the Government, and to the Indian society.

Here is a summary of what he said:

1. The Appeal to Sonam Wangchuk: "India needs you alive."

Speaking as one teacher watching another teacher put his life on the line, AP urged Sonam Wangchuk to end his 18-day fast. He highlighted Wangchuk's track record as a sincere, trustworthy person who brought education and water to the harsh deserts of Ladakh. AP's message to him was clear: Break your fast. You can serve India, Ladakh, the environment, and education much better by staying alive. Please protect your life.

2. The Challenge to the Government: "Talk to him."

AP called out the government, reminding them that the "dharma" of politics and democracy is restraint, respect, and dialogue. He pointed out the tragic irony of the situation: it does not suit a democracy when a sensible, honorable citizen has to put his life on the line just to get the government to talk to him.

3. The Harsh Mirror for Indian Society (The NEET Tragedy)

While everyone is focused on the paper leaks (the "outer" problem), AP addressed the dark "inner" problem nobody wants to talk about: How did a single piece of paper become more valuable than a student's life?

He called out the entire "market"—coaching centers, corrupt officials, and most importantly, parents.

He asked parents: When did your beautiful child become an "entrance exam project"?

He stated that paper leaks are just a byproduct of a toxic societal demand where millions of kids are forced to chase the exact same "imported dream" out of fear and inferiority.

His concluding thought: We can fight for a fair system on the outside, but until we change our internal greed and dishonesty, no system will ever be truly fair. We are the ones who build the systems, and if we are corrupt inside, we will just build backdoors into new systems.

What do you think? Are they really just going to let him collapse before they open a dialogue? And are we as a society ever going to stop treating kids like exam projects?

This book is my constant companion.

Such a treasure, you can pick it up, go to any chapter you need to and words written will help you the same way a true friend would...

This evening specially, my mind had been overwhelmed and overworked, lots of things going round and round specially after learning of someone's passing.

The body froze for a few hours but work had to be done. It was difficult to stay focused and not make mistakes.

I sought out my friend, Truth Without Apology, opened Chapter 18, asking me to not suppress my feelings because what I refuse to face, I will not be able to repair.

Sharing it with you all here, in case you too, need a friend and this gentle reminder.

Most debates around veganism revolves around justification
“Our ancestors were eating“
“We need to maintain the food chain“
“It’s natural“
“It’s written in scriptures“
“It’s our culture“

But then the question arises “Where is love in all this?“

Today in 2026, we don’t accept many things that history has justified. We have outgrown traditions, our culture and our habits in many aspects of life and chosen LOVE there. But when it comes to food choices, many still stops at “taste“ or “food is a personal choice“.

For me veganism is choosing compassion and Love over anything, be it convenience, taste, social acceptance, tradition, habit. I will choose it every single time. This light has come to me through Acharya Prashant. Otherwise like many others, love would have stayed limited just for my family and my pets.

How is it for you? Should tradition ever outweigh compassion and love?
