Hero with A Human Face
Ancient Indic Wisdom, Advanced Scientific Knowledge and Practice of Yoga.
Dear Explorers,
Wishing you all a happy new year 2022! I hope the pandemic has been kind to you and your folks.
I have been awfully quiet in this newsletter space for a while. I have good news that will break this jinx.
2021 was special for two things
I wrote my first agri-related oped in a traditional print newspaper
I signed a contract for my first book to be co-written with my Yoga mentor. Shri. Raghu Ananthanarayanan.
I plan to write the draft manuscript in this newsletter and go through the process of writing the book through this medium. I also plan to share more reflections on my journey as I embark on this journey with a sense of joy and trepidation.
The title and subtitle at the start of this post are the current working title and subtitles of the book. This might change, depending on the journey. For now, these are the anchor points of this journey.
Much like other endeavors of my life in areas of culture and agriculture, the book is a braid that attempts to bring together the old with a new, vibrant seeking.
There is a certain sense of fear of how I will be able to pull this off, and at the same time, there is a certain thrill that I will get to do something I’ve always been dreaming about.
If you do not want to hear from me in your inbox every week, and would rather not sort through the playful, silly, uncrafted, and amateur pieces in between serious essays to understand our present human condition and discover ways out of it through ancient Indic wisdom, now would be a good time to unsubscribe.
