    The Kite and the Sky

    As soon as I started studying Physics, I fell in love with it. Study of Physics has always given rise to impersonality and humility in my mind.

    Bhagavad Gita for Personality Transformation

    Right from birth, we are slave to our attraction and repulsion towards worldly objects and situations. Our mind constantly undergoes elation, depression, and agitation, depending on whether the objective situation we face is to our liking or disliking.
