arabhati's arbhatyam :)

Igniting the flame of knowledge!


I regularly publish articles steeped in Sanskrit, crafted either entirely in this ancient language or interwoven with Tamil, Hindi, and English. Feel free to explore the categories below and delve into the ones that capture your interest :)

Note: I’ve added a new podcast category where I share Spotify audio versions (podcastlink)of some posts!

  • Productive Musings!

    Productive Musings!

    When do you feel most productive? I usually feel productive in the mornings around 9 or in the afternoons around 3. Evenings can be good too. When I’m happy, I find that I can be productive all day. However, there are days when I don’t get much done, but that really depends on what we… Continue reading

  • Measured Words!

    What topics do you like to discuss? I wish I could talk about everything under the sun, but honestly, some topics, like certain sports, just don’t interest me. I’m passionate about discussing ancient Sanskrit and Tamil poetry, literature, epic stories, fiction, artificial intelligence, cooking, baking, travel, fashion, and languages. So, if you’re looking for conversation… Continue reading

    Nervous Strength!

    What makes you nervous? Worrying about failing or seeming weak makes me feel nervous. But really, who gets to decide what failure or weakness is? We all have things we’re not great at, and life gets a lot nicer when we’re okay with that. Thanks to yoga and meditation, I’m starting to look at life differently.… Continue reading

    Respite!

    How do you unwind after a demanding day? Depending on the whims of my mood and the vigor of my energy, I indulge in a variety of leisurely pursuits.

  • Joyful Solitude

    Joyful Solitude

    How do you use social media? I don’t, do I? My presence on social media is limited to Twitter, and even there, my engagement is sporadic. Blogging is a pursuit of mine, primarily to hone my writing abilities; beyond that, my time spent in the blogosphere is minimal. So, perhaps I’m a tad socially unaware… Continue reading

  • Jetlag!

    Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Jetlag, the uninvited travel companion! 😄 I’m currently in Frankfurt, and despite sleeping throughout the entire journey here, I’m still enveloped in a blanket of sleepiness. And wow, I didn’t anticipate Frankfurt to be this chilly in April! Continue reading
