"RELIGION IN THE NEW MILLENIUM"
A very well analysed and balanced lecture delivered at the Bangalore Brahmo Samaj on the occasion of the 173rd Maghotsav Celebrations on 26th January 2003 by Dr. D. Jeevan Kumar, Professor of Political Science, Bangalore University, Bangalore-560056. He discusses Gandhiji's views about "What is relegion? and What is its Purpose?" and goes about to link it's relevance with Raja Rammohun Roy, and the Brahmo credo. (You may see below...)
THE BRAHMO SAMAJ, and RAJA RAMMOHUN ROY
(Extracted, Developed & Composed by: Ashit Sarkar)
Gives the history, the main doctrines or philosophy and the details of the social and relegious movement almost two hundred years ago (also known as the Bengal Renaissance) started by Raja Rammohun Roy, as well as a sketch of the biography of this extraordinary person. It also icludes a tribute written by Ms Gopa Chanda (click to see)
"DARWIN's GOD"
An excellent essay from the New York Times (by ROBIN MARANTZ HENIG) - so well researched on points and counterpoints about the very complex "religion and belief" issues, aptly described as:
"Lost in the hullabaloo over the neo-atheists is a quieter and potentially more illuminating debate. It is taking place not between science and religion but within science itself, specifically among the scientists studying the evolution of religion."
A serious write-up that needs time to study and understand some of the complexities....
"LAWS OF NATURE, SOURCE UNKNOWN"
Another fascinating essay attempting to throw light on the complex topic over the centuries to answer unanswerable questions about science and faith, laws that govern them - which is in fact a kind of chicken-and-egg problem with the universe and its laws. Which �came� first � the laws or the universe? Read on......
UNHAPPY MEALS 
An excellent essay on dietary issues that anyone interested in "food & health" must read. Three short edicts: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." summarizes the lengthy 10000 words discussions - for those who may wish to skim the essence of the write-up!
A great knowledge based article indeed...

DRIVING IN INDIA
Do not miss this hilarious article from the net expressing the views of possibly an NRI during a visit to India! (Pictures added by me!)
A most interesting NUMBER COUNTING concept
that explains that despite the principle that "time moves on at an absolute steady pace", in our perception it surely fluctuates wildly where age is concerned - both slowing down and speeding up! (A MUST - TO BE SHARED PIECE!)
