Friends Post-Covid period, or since 2023, I have not been regular in following developments in the financial sector and politics. I have found out other diversions for timepass. Today's message which carries one response on monetary policy and another on Modi is not the beginning of another journey. As I said before, nowadays, the subject and content of tomorrow's message are decided only today. They evolve from my thoughts while I start writing the message.

Friends Each one of us accept a daily schedule that evolve with circumstances. In that process sharing messages has become part of my routine. M G Warrier Random Reading : Healing is a process A Rumi Philosophy This article drew my attention not particularly for its philosophical content. Somewhere in the writeup, there's a mention that... "When Rumi lost his soulmate Shams-e-Tabriz, he understood that the intense pain of separation lent his poetry a far greater depth." "That overwhelming sense of loss wounded him permanently but deepened his philosophy eternally" Philosophers are human beings. They also feel pain & pleasure, happiness and sorrow and so on. The difference is, they are able to interpret feelings, especially the feelings of "others" with more clarity and sometimes differently. When combating tough situations, the right philosophical attitude helps you camouflage feelings you want to hide, before select audiences appropriately...

Friends My presentations everyday are not studies based on research. Source of information is whatever I read or hear in the media including Social Media. Use them only as such and do your own research or fact check, if you are using the content. M G Warrier A World Is Safe For Hundred Years I did a Google Search with the above key words. Result : Earth is safe from a major asteroid collision—specifically the well-known asteroid Apophis—for at least the next 100 years. Asteroid Safety Apophis Risk Removed : NASA radar observations ruled out any impact risk from asteroid Apophis for the next century, removing it from the Sentry Impact Risk Table. Close Flyby : The 1,100-foot-wide asteroid will pass safely within 20,000 miles of Earth on April 13, 2029, offering a great scientific viewing opportunity without any danger.

Friends Yayoi Kusama, Japanese artist, died aged 97 in August 2026. Kusama emerged as part of the pop art movement - and was among a select group of artists whose work became truly popular with a mass audience, attracting crowds to exhibitions from Tokyo to New York and London. Early life and art By her own account, Kusama began painting as a child, at about the time she began experiencing hallucinations that often involved fields of dots. Those hallucinations and the theme of dots would continue to inform her art throughout her career. She had little formal training, studying art only briefly (1948–49) at the Kyoto City Specialist School of Arts. Family conflict and the desire to become an artist drove her to move in 1957 to the United States, where she settled in New York City. Before leaving Japan, she destroyed many of her early paintings.
