Pakistani cricketers including Inzamam are on record stating this, incidently he states that Indian cricketer Wasim Jafar was next to him while they were inviting (Daawat) a non Muslim cricketer to convert to islam
Yes.. my Pakistani neighbor in sheffield.. After becoming acquainted with her because our kids played in the same Park.. she called me for tea.. she directly asked me why don't you convert?? It will be the best thing for you..
I was offended and surprised.. I told her I am a proud Hindu and I love the freedom of belief Hinduism accords me.. otoh your religion is very restrictive and is oppressive to women.. you should do Ghar wapsi .. you will be happier..
Tea time Proselytizing was not my bucket list ever

Sealink Pic taken today one day after Diwali - Clear air and very little pollution. I hope people realize crackers are one drop in the ocean of pollutuon we create.

My maths had tons of 'silly mistakes' started reciting Atharvashirsha from 10th grade and mind calmed, mistakes came down. Why hasnt India imvested in research on Vedic chanting and its calming effects on the mind/brain?
So… what’s my experience of Ganesh Atharvashirsha?
Decades ago, when the Dagdu Sheth Ganesh temple in Pune was just a small temple (not like today)… the Chaturthi used be kids and teenagers (boys and girls by the way) as well as men and ladies from the old city who used to stand on the side of the road and chant the Atharvashirsha in rotation … maybe 108 chants also on occasion.
This is how I came to learn it as a medical student … by listening to this over there.
Before this point though…. in my 12th standard, I heard about it from the legend CG Kulkarni of Subodh classes but was not destined to start it then (probably it would have got me to top my MBBS if that had happened but I was soooo stupid and sooooo superbly ignorant at that time and it was not to be).
Later during my exams abroad, one thing I always did was to chant it as an anusthana prior to exams.
You have seen my qualifications… that’s the result….. it is therefore quite clear to me how I got to be able to do all this so far in my life.
That too my swara of Atharvashirsha was NOT correct definitely BUT it still gave spectacular results (many University toppers failed the exams at the sitting when I passed them) , which swara I corrected later on in my life after passing all these exams.
So IMHO to prevent people from chanting this great stotra is bit strange BUT there is a destiny and everyone’s Prarabdha is there so if you are not destined to chant it… then that is your choice and problem.
For those who learn it, I am the living example of this Ganesh Atharvashirsha.

This generation is the first educated gen which is growing up with maids, parents are busy with work and unwinding, less access to grand parents. We will see its cultural, moral and demographic implications decades from now...
Downloaded a Bhagwat Geeta app, it rewards you with points after completing each adhyay... destroys the basic tenet of Geeta that you do your work without expectation or worrying about its consequences....

@6amiji Vyas wrote Mahabharata, where he had the knowledge of Geeta prior to be told to Arjuna. Sanjay narrated it possibly on the 8th or the 9th Day to Dhrutarashtra about the happenings of the first day which included Geeta. Sequence is intriguing

"Flashy lifestyle signals happiness to the outside world than feeling it inside"... Timeless wise worlds, that are antidote to instagram led happiness :)
The couples you're describing have likely solved something important — they've decoupled their self-worth from external achievement and found genuine sufficiency in connection, daily pleasures, and a life that doesn't require constant expansion to feel meaningful. That's not a failure of aspiration. In many philosophical traditions it's the actual goal — what Aristotle called eudaimonia and what Buddhism points toward with the concept of contentment.
The flashy life your ambitious peers chase is largely performative — it's happiness signalled to others rather than felt internally. The couples you've noticed have skipped the performance entirely.

@DrGuruduttVarty - what is the concensus among experts in India?
🚨COMPLETE REMISSIONS of Stage IV cancers using anti-parasitics are now being documented in the peer-reviewed literature.
HUNDREDS of studies find ivermectin and fenbendazole exert over 12 distinct anti-cancer mechanisms across more than 12 cancer types.

Last sunday was a special game - scored a match winning 67(40) at a T20 game.
Innings involved lots of 2s, few 3s and one 5 at the long end of the boundary, followed by wicket keeping. Cricket has been a big motivator to keep working on my fitness
