  • She was just crap at it. At life.
    It is ok. Sometimes, we need to tell each other this. It’s ok. You are doing good. You are doing great, rather.

  • He will be ending his life today.
    A lifetime is a bundle of non-essentials moments tightly packed together. The best ones while they happen, are usually breezy. They come and go unperturbed by our karma. But Ove was tired of it all. Imagine the universe conspiring against one person. Why the trouble? Because second chances are not “give-aways”Get your copy of the book, Someone called One in Amazon, https://www.amazon.in/Man-Called-Ove-life-affirming-bestseller/dp/1444775812/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=someone+called+ove&qid=1617962300&sr=8-1

  • An Atheist says he knows God..
    So many of us might be turning away from the institution of God. We have no reason to believe in one, do we? Listen to me paraphrasing a passage from the book “Collected Works of EVR Periyar”. He was a social reformist who became the mascot of new-age Tamizhnadu. His sigh of relief still echoes in the land he fashioned. Devoted to the model of equality, he created dents in century-old beliefs. What does such a man of action feel about the dormant presence of God?Get his book here :https://www.amazon.in/dp/9380826435/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VsWDFbRX2YAH5

  • A Forgotten Indian Epic.
    If the life we are living is a story where humanity plays the cast, it is impossible for all to play the central figure. Not all can become Lord Krishna or Arjuna or Karna. Some might end up being Vidhura too. The blazing battlefield eclipsed the simple truth he lived.The dark horse who never rode to kill, betray or preach.Paraphrasing a snippet from, “Vidhura Niyathiyil Nirvaagam” written by Doctor Nalli Kuppuswamy Chettiar.

  • Nothingness is Everythingness
    Am I this body? No I’m not. Am I my senses? No, I’m not. Am I my organs that help me move, procreate, function? No, Im not. Am I the prana, the breath? No, I’m not. So am I the mind that thinks? No, I’m not. Then, WHO AM I?Paraphrasing a snippet from “Who am I?” written by Swami Ramana Maharishi. A reading experience that will make you re-question everything you know about yourself.

  • One ticket to No-Man’s-Land please ..

  • There is no curb for these curls
    Dear fellow primates, time to face a fact. We have no idea why we think a certain thought? Our brains can ignore and obsess. We can reminisce, ramble and replay endlessly! But there is a lot of science behind all this. Paraphrasing a very interesting chapter from Tara Swart’s “The Source”. No medical jargon, I promise.

About Vyasa Speaking..

From the publisher's feed

Stories are the best part of human creations. Listening to ANY story teleports us to our happy place. And that’s why I'd like to paraphrase everything - the books I have read, the conversations I have had. Cause, everything that we do has a story hidden within it. This is a lighthearted listen with no moral or message for the world. I would have categorised the show under “Musings” had one existed. Also, an Indian Podcast.
