The next great shift in human consciousness may come not just through cannabis legalization, but through the accelerating human–animal bond as companion animals become an ever more integral part of our lives.

Why are Duryodhana and, in some places, even Dushasana respected or worshipped in certain parts of India?

From the mainstream Mahabharata narrative, they're portrayed as major antagonists, so I'm curious how these traditions developed. Is it because of local folklore, different interpretations of the epic, regional history, or something else?

Would love to hear the historical and cultural context rather than just every character has shades of grey.

Long, long ago, thousands of years back, society had pragmatic, rational, arguing politicians. Now we have a society of victimhood, screaming politicians and the plebs. Maybe it's time scientists started their own religion.

Japan has Suzuka, Malaysia has Sepang, and the UAE has Yas Marina. These places aren't just famous for a race - they've built an entire motorsport ecosystem around them.

Why can't India develop one city like that or develop an already existing city? A place with race tracks, karting, racing schools, automotive R&D, testing facilities, tuning culture, and annual motorsport events.

We're one of the world's biggest car markets, so it feels like there's a huge opportunity. Do you think something like this could work here, or are we still too early for it?

Every morning walk in Indian metros feels like the old Temple Run game - except instead of obstacles, you're dodging dog poop.

Footpaths, parks, apartment surroundings, empty plots — dog poop everywhere. Before anyone gets offended, this isn't about dogs. It's about owners who watch their dog do it and then just walk away.

And this is not some difficult or unrealistic thing being asked of dog owners. In countries like the UK, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore, picking up after your dog is considered a normal part of owning a pet, and owners can be fined for not doing it.

Meanwhile in India, we keep talking about civic sense. We complain about paan spitters, people throwing cigarette butts, littering on roads, etc. Fair enough. But if you're leaving your dog's poop on a public footpath and walking away, how is that any different?

It's not just disgusting, it's a hygiene issue too. People accidentally step on it, it gets dragged around on shoes, kids play in the same parks and open spaces, and everyone else has to deal with the mess. Public spaces shouldn't be treated as a free toilet just because someone else will eventually clean it up.

And please don't tell me it's just a few irresponsible owners. If that was the case, this wouldn't be such a common sight in so many cities.

Personally, I think Indian cities should start fining owners who don't clean up after their pets. Responsible pet ownership shouldn't end at feeding and walking your dog.
