Much Needed Cabinet Reshuffle

Finally the Prime Minister has shuffled his cabinet. He kept most of his council of ministers intact, just making minor changes here and there. Key takeaways -

Former Karnataka CM Sadananda Gowda is moving down steadily in political circles. From Railways to Law and now to an obscure ministry his stars are not shining.

PM Modi seems to have realized the need to induct more powerful females in his council of ministers. Hence two of them have been brought in, blunting the power of other formidable women leaders.

Bihar still has the maximum representation in the PM's cabinet even though the people of the state have moved towards the RJD, Congress and JDU combine.

The biggest gain has been for the law ministry with two senior Supreme Court lawyers taking charge of it. Talk about expertise there.

Another big gainer is the environment ministry which has now got a known environmentalist to reign it in.

The government now has two very well qualified doctors on board, none of them however  is associated with a ministry related to health or medical purpose.

All in all a reshuffle more in tune to the politics of the day than the actual needs of governance.

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Prosperity blueprint: How one investor turned real estate into a living energy field for wealth

Wealth vastu case study: How one investor turned real estate into wealth In this wealth vastu case study, we explore how Choden, a seasoned investor, transformed underperforming rental properties into a thriving energy field of wealth using ancient Vastu principles, energetic space alignment, and simple rituals. The outcome—lower vacancies, higher ROI, and a profound sense of financial ease and energetic harmony. Why do some properties multiply wealth — and others drain it? Have you ever walked into a home that immediately made you feel calm, confident, and somehow richer inside — even if nothing in your bank account changed? And then, there are those other places — beautiful on paper, perfectly located — yet every time you enter, something feels off. Money slips away faster. Tenants leave. Repairs pile up. You can’t quite explain it, but you feel it. That’s where our wealth vastu case study begins — not with numbers, but with energy. This story isn’t about buying more l...
