What does a true Brit bite?

By
By Vidya Venkat Those rallying for British nationalism and a concomitant Brexit are forgetting that 'British culture' today is a nebulous idea. If people are what they eat, then there could be nothing uniquely ‘British’ about the Brits. When the news of the Brexit vote started coming in on Friday, June 24, my mind instantly went back to an ethnographic study of the popular UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, which I had done five years ago as a student of anthropology in London. Source: Wikipedia Bronisław Malinowski, a 20th-Century anthropologist, argued that culture functioned to meet the needs of individuals rather than society as a whole. Meaning, in an age of globalisation following a history of colonial cross-assimilation, Britain can hardly have an 'authentic culture'. In the study, I had set out to decode the Malinowskian “imponderabilia of everyday life” of the average British citizen. Bronislaw Malinowski, the father figure of British social anthr...

Is it good to fool people in name of God

By
Hello friends, Today i have come with another question in my mind i.e "Is it good to fool people in name of God ?". Recently a case on a saint Asaram has shocked all the people of India and foreign also ,that how a old man can do sexual assault of his grand daughter looking like child.At this time , this saint is behind the jail and facing a huge shame in front of  world. But after hearing all this type of news,i am always thinking that why people always follow such illiterate and inappropriate person who is just playing with your sisters/mothers/daughters and also earning for that. You will be shocked after hearing some of the facts of this ASARAM :   1. In early 1970, Asaram built his first ashram on 4 ha (10 acres) of land in Gujarat and began using the name Asaram Bapu. Presently, there are over 400 major and minor ashrams in India and abroad and numerous followers. 2. He preaches the existence of One Supreme Conscious and clai...

मनोविज्ञान से जुड़े अनसुनी सच्चाई क्या है?

By
1- शरीर की हर कोशिकाओं पर हमारे विचारों का प्रभाव पड़ता हैं। यदि विचारों में नकारात्मकता ज्यादा है तो रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता घट जाती है जिससे आप बहुत ज्यादा बीमार रहते हैं। 2- यदि कोई व्यक्ति ज्यादा सोता है तो वो ज्यादा उदास रहता है। 3- डिप्रेशन में जाना overthinking का नतीजा है। इस समय हमारा दिमाग उन प्रोब्लेम्स को create करने लग जाता है जिनका कोई अस्तित्व ही नहीं है। 4- यदि कोई व्यक्ति छोटी छोटी बातों पर भी ज्यादा हँसता है तो वो अपने आप को अंदर से अकेला महसूस करता है। 5- हमारा दिमाग जितना दिन में चलता है उससे तेज़ वो रात में वो भी सोते समय चलता है। इसके आलावा अकेला शरीर में सबसे ज्यादा ऊर्जा की खपत करता है। 6-मनोवैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार जिन लोगों को अपनी मातृ भाषा के आलावा कोई अन्य भाषा भी आती है वे लोग ज्यादा बेहतर तरीके से निर्णय लेने में सक्षम रहते हैं। 7- आप जितने ज्यादा ठन्डे कमरे में सोयेंगे, रात को उतना ही डरावना सपना आने का चांस बढ़ जायेगा। 8- किसी Joke पर हंसने के लिए हमारे दिमाग को पांच अलग-अलग हिस्सों में काम करना पड़ता है। 9- 60% लोग अपने Life की Negative चीज़ों से दूर भागने के लि...
