In Hindu mythology, Swarg, home to Indra and celestial beings, symbolizes ultimate power. Indra’s throne embodies authority coveted across realms, paralleling modern ambitions for political and social influence. Satyavrata’s rebellious quest for uniqueness led him to forge a counterfeit Swarg with Vishwamitra’s aid, mirroring contemporary influencers’ self-created realities. Yet, true fulfillment eluded him as he defied natural order. His story challenges the pursuit of power at any cost, prompting reflection on the authenticity of desires. Swarg’s allure persists, echoing in societal aspirations and the mythological realm alike, illustrating humanity’s enduring fascination with power and distinction.
In ancient times, amidst the tales of Sri Krishna’s era, there existed Poundrik Vasudev, known as the “Alternate Vasudev,” a master of deception. Poundrik ruled over Pundra and donned the crown of Kashi, employing an “alternate Sudharshan Chakra” and other clever ruses to maintain his false divine authority. His cunning schemes even ensnared the King of Kashi and others who were skeptical of Sri Krishna. However, Poundrik’s deceit eventually unraveled in a confrontation with the real Sri Krishna, leading to his downfall.
The story of Poundrik serves as a stark reminder that even in antiquity, skilled deceivers could manipulate and mislead. This cautionary tale finds resonance in contemporary society, where modern-day figures, akin to Poundrik, continue to deceive people with false claims of divinity or authority. The parallels between ancient deception and modern-day imposters underscore the timeless human tendency to be drawn to illusions and the struggle to discern truth from falsehood.

Trilogies are difficult to watch, mostly by the third film, the events of the first one become hazy. Unless you are fan of the franchise, you are handicapped as you enter the theatre. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was painful (sorry fans!). I mean, the first movie began with a promising scene of a …
Firstly I must confess, as a post Premier League, Gunner fan, the idea of a derby with Tottenham does not have much significance. Let’s face it, besides the memorable day when Arsenal clinched the trophy and then went on to complete their invincible season, and that post goal slide from Henry, Spurs were a non …
