India

ENGLISH

"India was never just a country, it has always been a dream, an idea, an elusive vision that attracted travellers from all over the world for thousands of years. The mystique of India impelled the journey of Alexandre the Great, Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama

The images that the word "India" conjures up are diverse and often contradictory, suggesting that one must be the real India, and it's only a matter of finding out which one. If only it were that simple! To understand India at all, you must be able to hold on to completely contradictory images, and realize that both represent the true India"

Gitanjali Kolanad

ESPAÑOL

"India nunca ha sido solo un pais, siempre ha sido un sueño, una idea una visión elusiva que atrae a los viajeros de todo el mundo por miles de años. La mística de India impulso el viaje de Alejandro Magno, Marco Polo y Vasco de Gama.

Las imágenes que la palabra "India" evoca son diversas y frecuentemente contradictorias, sugeriendo que una debería ser la verdadera India, y es solo cuestión de encontrar cual es. Si fuese tan simple! Para enterder India en todos los sentidos, uno debe se capaz de agarrarse bien a dos imágenes completamente contradictorias y darse cuenta que las dos representan la verdadera India."

Reading

I try to keep on my good habit of reading, I still have 3 books waiting for me on the table next to my bed to finish the one that I reading right now and after that a long list of other books I have been recommended to read.

Some notes from “Hot, flat and crowded” from Thomas Friedman

“Problems that have emerged in the Energy-Climate era:
Energy supply and demand imbalances
Petrodictatorship
Climate change
Energy Poverty
Biodiversity loss”
More than 700 pages with a good insight about global warming and other world issues

an inspiring speech from Obama in Cairo

"And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country -- you, more than anyone, have the ability to reimagine the world, to remake this world.

All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.

It's easier to start wars than to end them. It's easier to blame others than to look inward. It's easier to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path.

There's one rule that lies at the heart of every religion -- that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples -- a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian or Muslim or Jew. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the hearts of billions around the world. It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.

We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.

The Holy Koran tells us: "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."

The Talmud tells us: "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."

The world needs leaders that inspire people and call to a positive change
