Tending Towards Zero
I share thoughts that emerge from observation, analysis, and introspection. These are not presented as absolute truths, but as reflections based on my current understanding. They may evolve with time, deeper thinking, and further questioning. These are the answers I’ve arrived at so far, after observing carefully and trying to see beyond biases and assumptions. Yet, there’s always a possibility that I might be wrong, or that greater clarity could shift my understanding.
I have many teachers—direct and indirect—who’ve constantly help me gain knowledge and keep guiding me toward clarity of thought.
In my videos or Shorts, the tone might sometimes give a sense of certainty—but please don’t mistake that for a claim of unquestionable truth. My intention is to express ideas humbly, as thought experiments worth reflecting on.
If they resonate, explore deeply. If not, I welcome rational counterpoints. Let’s grow through shared understanding.
Thank you.

Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq (translated by Deepa Bhasthi)
Banu Mushtaq, being a Muslim woman herself, writes these stories from a deeply personal and observant space. The book highlights many regressive practices like polygamy, triple talaq, Khatna, patriarchy, male domination, domestic violence and the social pressure on women to give birth to many children (Many of these regressive practices continue to exist under the name of religious and cultural tradition).
It powerfully shows how women are often without agency and under constant pressure, also underlining the stark gap between rich and poor even inside the community.Through vivid storytelling, we just not see suffering but also resilience, silence, and moments of defiance.
Read it. Understand it.

अमृतलाल नागर लिखित उपन्यास "भूख"
अमृतलाल नागर लिखित उपन्यास "भूख" १९४३ में बंगाल में हुई भुखमरी पर आधारित है। यह उपन्यास पाठकों को उस समय की भयावह स्थिति में ले जाता है, जब बंगाल की सड़कों पर भूख से तड़पकर मरे हुए लोगों की लाशें पड़ी थीं। लोग भूख के कारण अपने शरीर के कपड़े तक बेच चुके थे। स्त्रियों की इज्जत एक मुट्ठी चावल के लिए बेची जा रही थी। परिवार के लोग एक-दूसरे को खाने का बोझ कम करने के लिए मार रहे थे। जमींदार और व्यापारी अपने फायदे के लिए लोगों को और ज्यादा परेशान कर रहे थे। यह सब कुछ मनुष्य द्वारा निर्मित भुखमरी का नतीजा था।
यह उपन्यास होने के कारण कुछ घटनाएं अतिशयोक्तिपूर्ण लग सकती हैं, लेकिन सूत्रों के अनुसार १९४३ की इस भुखमरी में करीब ३० लाख लोग मारे गए थे। यह भुखमरी ब्रिटिशों द्वारा द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान बनाई गई थी।
इस उपन्यास को पढ़ते समय आपको इस घटना से जुड़ी कई जानकारियां मिलेंगी।
यह उपन्यास मूल रूप से हिंदी में लिखा गया है और इसका अंग्रेजी अनुवाद भी उपलब्ध है।

The whole brain child
Parents, Teachers, psychiatrist ,anyone who cares for a children, or who loves child or who think pure, healthy society will be made by pure and healthy individuals should read this book.
We all want everyone to be a good human being, the solution is upbringing of child from his/her childhood.
Child psychology is one of the complex subject which should be resolved, understood. We should help them through understanding and helping them to understand what's happening, what's good and whats bad. Rather than ignoring their emotions or distracting them from their struggles, you can nurture their whole brain.
.
It's about integrating their brain, nurturing their mind, which will create a good ,pure and healthy minded society.
This book talks about aspects of brain , how actually kids brain work, how we can help them to come out of trouble, how we can teach them about morality, values,awareness, how we can help them to come out of trauma...etc.
And it's about integrating their brain, nurturing their mind, which will create a good ,pure and healthy minded individuals and hence healthy minded society.
We should help them to grow properly with the help of our experiences, it will easy for them to deal with problems if they already have the basic idea.
Mainly root cause of behaviour, problems, how they act in society is it with morals, ethics or is mostly depends on what they have learned, what they felt, watched, listened,thought throughout their childhood.
So childhood is the most important phase, think once and make everyone think and act properly.
