I picked up this article because the central govt. passed a law criminalizing Triple Talaq which was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

This fight by Muslim women in India is a huge victory for rights activists and the struggle they went through for a couple of decades needs to be highlighted and appreciated.

Dear friends this article has led me to read more on the relationship between financial health and mental health. See what aspect of mental health is triggered when you read about VG Siddhartha’s final struggle.

Some say Happiness is an art, some say it’s a science. It won’t be an exaggeration if I say that happiness shows the most diverse range of definitions, and needless to say that every individual has a different one for her/himself.

To quench the thirst of obtaining happiness, ways and means also project a wide range. Courses have been introduced in some states’ curricula to increase the happiness quotient in classes. A National Board is trying to bring in happiness in classrooms through happy teachers thus trying to bring out some programs to make them happy.

But this information does not suffice the prerequisites for its comprehension and necessity.

Does degree of happiness also vary? 

A Paradigm shift has taken place in its measurement methods. A research paper by Sissela Bok mentions that some researches have been done by scanning brain images to see changes in brain during happiness which mentions hormonal changes during that state. 

Another perspective is, according to Biology’s general principles, any hormonal change is marked by change in body’s physiology which is bound to come back to normal, which communicates that it is just a state and by homeostasis, the body will revert back.  

That makes me question myself again, is it a feeling or a state of mind (which could only be temporary and not permanent)? Also, is it dynamic or static?

If put in biological terms, continuous exposure to the same stimulus which gives happiness may gradually reduce the intensity with which the happiness is felt. 

Is it driven by any external stimulus?

WISDOM; can it overpower happiness? Can it contribute to my experiential learning towards building inner peace?

Can I replace the word happiness with peace to show its absoluteness????? 

We belong to a country of Ramanujan, Aryabhatt, Bramagupta, Bhaskara and Dr Majul Bhargava himself who has roots in India. We are the discoverers/inventors of Astrology, Numerology and Vedic Maths. We are in no dearth of creating Magic in Maths and we had been doing it since time immemorial. I feel this is just a ‘pause’ which Dr Bhargava perceived to be an alarming situation and advocates to bring in cultural change to overcome this. 

When Alex Bellos and BBC are discovering and understanding Indian Mathematics, we surely can tinker and reinvent ourselves.
