Live to Love provides cutting-edge education deeply rooted in Himalaya culture which inspires the next generation to act as guardians of their culture, their home, and their environment.

“We are encouraging bands to perform Songs inspired by India or songs they feel that reflects India and their mood, cover versions, and original compositions are all allowed, English, as well as all Indian languages, are open” – said Pem Deki, President, Live to Love International.

Given its unique geographical and developmental factor, Ladakh has witnessed major societal and cultural changes over the past few decades. While the scale and quality of education have remained low, increasing number of locals migrate to towns outside Ladakh to explore employment opportunities leading to a regional brain drain. Speaking at the program, Dr. Pramath Raj Sinha, Guest of Honour, announced The Naropa Fellowship, aimed at creating future leaders.

“The transformation outside starts from the transformation inside. 45 National and International visiting faculties will instill a strong sense of purpose and commitment in the first batch of 50 Naropa Fellows, towards working for the upliftment of Ladakh. This will equip Fellows with the skills and tools needed to successfully promote business, enterprise and civic leadership in a 21st-century world”, stated Dr. Sinha, Founder of The Naropa Fellowship.

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

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 .

Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Satyameva Jayate - Free speech

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...
