Stolen Innocence

August.2010. Mumbai.Oshiwara @tarabiswal

Entering into Ajala Residency I heard Gopal, the apartment caretaker, crying in dismay. “The verandah pots are stolen” he gave the verdict, “I am telling you Sirji this place is swarming with thieves”. I made a face of despair while going inside the lift. Indeed the plants give you a good head start everyday by refreshing you which made me thinking while the lift moved on to the tenth floor to room no 1014. This Flat was at present “Casa de Tara” has an amazing view of the Mumbai skyline.

Materialism

Materialism - What matters

[ Recently reading the below article and it struck me to share it on my blog.]

Materialism as a philosophy is held by those who maintain that existence is explainable solely in material terms, with no accounting of spirit or consciousness. Individuals who hold to this belief see the universe as a huge device held together by pieces of matter functioning in subjection to naturalistic laws. Since materialism denies all concepts of Special Creation, it relies on the Theory of Evolution to explain itself, making beliefs in materialism and evolution interdependent.
