I watched Bollywood movie " Oh My God " few days ago on Youtube (hope that was the official channel). It was excellent! Maybe some orthodox people think that it was blasphemy. But as far as I know blasphemy concept doesn't exist in Hindu philosophy and I'm very happy about it. At no point of time in the movie, the belief on God was questioned! The blind belief and meaningless customs and traditions were questioned! I have watched this movie and laughed wholeheartedly at various scenes! Maybe the people with blind beliefs on God might have got hurt very badly! It is their problem.

Last week has gone by very fast, there were some long tiring days with meetings, some commitments, some new issues which came up and were unexpected, but it gives satisfaction when few things important are achieved for the sake of the  company, its operating personnel working somewhere else. Safety review with our HSE team was an important job done by our team to ensure that some operating personnel, somewhere working in a different country where our group operates, will work in a safe environment and to the extent possible don't make avoidable mistakes while working.

Music is one of the simple and great pleasures of life! I'm not into the lyrics which speak too high of love and "I die for you" kind, as I'm a spiritually well educated, if not experienced, person and I have a natural tendency to understand the depth of this material world, which in Sanskrit is aptly called 'Samsara'. However though music is a part of that Samsara, my concentration while listening to music is mostly on the instruments' sounds and the subtle sounds which can be particularly listened with a subwoofer speaker system.
