As I walked into Orgosolo, this mural stands to welcome you, amidst the first wall to the inner town. It doesn't announce itself. It doesn’t dominate the wall or demand reverence.

At its centre is an old man, unremarkable at first glance. No raised fist. No heroic posture. In fact just a hat, white beard and a walking stick. A face sha

After nearly three hours of driving from Kochi through lush, biodiverse Kerala—past swaying palms and the occasional tea-and-chips stall—the concrete sprawl of Coimbatore comes as a jolt. The greenery gives way to flyovers and factory facades. Yet just as the first impression threatens to harden, the early-morning walkers—already filling the streets with quiet purpose—soften it.

My Journey with Vipassana A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Vipassana meditation through dhamma.org . Curious, I coenrolled in a 10-day course. Those ten days were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I discovered aspects of myself I had never encountered before.
