REN

By Dr. R Sudarshan

The eastern world has been a minefield of philosophies for peace and every step of the way, some thought explodes into the heart and says something soothing.

While people have looked to the West for wealth, material bliss, and living comfort, they have always turned to the East for the sunrise of consciousness.

And among the gems of such philosophies is the Confucian thought of 'Ren'. Ren is your relationship with yourself and all around you. It is all about how through simple and sensible changes in our lives we can connect better with friends, families, and societies and build community, justice, fairness, and compassion.

In a nutshell, it is all about making oneself a better person and being a happier human being.

Ren is on the shelf. And so, peace is accessible.

LITERARY FICTION - STORIES OF LIFE IN ELEGANCE OF LANGUAGE

By Dr. R Sudarshan

Over 500 titles draw attention on a pinewood rack in an entire room meant for fiction at the Silverfish Bookstore. They are life stories from around the world, told in an individual prosaic style by well-known or less known authors.

And some 300 among them are clustered as literary fiction. They are master crafts of writers that build finesse to characters, in a language that's artistic. That's like a rare romance of your mind with a slowly descending warm chocolate cream down the tongue on a rainy day by the window sill.

The best of the world literary fiction at Silverfish - hand-curated with diligence.

THE LIFE SUSTAINING HOLLOW HEARTS OF PAPAYA

By Dr R Sudarshan A tall papaya tree bit the dust when the night rider wild pigs dug into its base to steal it's succulent roots. And a curious little boy visitor to the farm chopped and sliced it to feel the power of an axe. We then rediscovered a string of hollow chambers in the stem that we had long forgotten after the college days. The pith cavities are the multiple hearts of the papaya vascularity. Raising water and nutrition from ground to sky, holding them in steps to strengthen the tall growing stem and gradually filling those fruits with the pulp and nectar, the hollowness is the substance of this existence. A plant is a wondrous source of symmetry, geometry, science, technology and food. And a farm is a relearning device.

COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1

By Dr. R Sudarshan EATING CLEAN: COMMUNITY DIALOGUE - 1;  Featured Speaker - Sindhu Ramachandra;  Friday, 15 July 2022 at 5:30 PM E ating clean is a lifestyle fundamental, easily ignored and abused in the fast lane of tongue temptations. And the long convoluted tube that we call 'gut' is often turned into a gutter that is forced to process what it is not meant for - synthetic food, herbicides, pesticides, and life-threatening substances. Sindhu is a biochemist with work experience from IISc. She pursues data science and AI in the context of biochemistry. An ardent believer in organic farming, she cares for clean foods. And she knows how unclean foods can turn your life upside down. Community Dialogues at the Farmer's House are an engagement with reason to restore the dignity of life. Come, listen, interact and benefit. Attendance is FREE. Register with Gagan at 97421 62956. * * * Farmer's House, Silverfish Books, Kutz Bowl and the Farmer's Market, # 1A, 13th Cross,...
