Guest authors

Start writing!

Srini and Naresh serve as co-editors and regular contributors to this site (brief intro here).

In addition, we invite guest authors to contribute their writings for posting on this blog. Our main requirement is that a prospective author should share a fairly in-depth and authentic insight into the multitudes of superficial phenomena which surround us.

We would like to hear and post YOUR views and sentiments, not those of some allegedly great person who might — or might not — have done this, that, and much else!

Interested? Please contact us through a blog comment.


Jayram Daya is our first guest author.

IIT Bombay Mechanical Engineering batch of 1968 may remember Jayram Daya as being a sensitive, good-natured classmate from Hostel 2, an artist, and a citizen of South Africa. Since those student days, Jayram has successfully established a business in South Africa, handed the business over to his two sons, and is now happily pursuing higher interests in the next stage of life. He is in Sanyaas Ashram, but also, in his own words: I am an engineer, an entrepreneur, a storyteller, a poet, an author, a painter, a photographer, a blogger, a philosopher, and a visionary.


Suman Satishchandra Rao has been a teacher of Economics, who retired as Vice Principal of a college. She has practiced meditation and related sadhanas for over four decades, has written a textbook, and also done creative writing and translation. She is a proud wife, mother and sister of IITians.
