Israel’s real founding myths
2010-10-12 09:46:00 Am I the only one sick of being lied to constantly, of living in a forest of myths? Moshe Dayan, a legendary warrior, was a simple defense minister in 1967, which is largely an administrative role. Far from saving Israel, he stopped the Arabs fleeing from the West Bank and gave the Temple Mount and the Cave of the Patriarchs to our Muslim enemies. If not for him, we could have had a depopulated West Bank and full control over our holiest places. Golda Meir, a grandmother of all Jews, is singularly responsible for thousands of Jewish deaths in the Yom Kippur War because she procrastinated and postponed the preemptive strike until after the holiday. Yitzhak Rabin, a paragon of honesty, campaigned on promises of tough measures against Arabs. At the same time, Beilin negotiated on his behalf with the PLO in Cairo. Arik Sharon, the king of Israel, won elections by ridiculing the leftists’ plan to disengage from Gaza—only to carry it out himself with unprecedented brutality. Li...

The Myths Of Social Media And The Truth About Them
2009-09-21 08:57:00 It is a common human psyche that whenever a new thing emerges and explodes in the social circuit, there are lots of opinionated views about the same, and some of them result in myths being born. Social Media is one such example, which has been examined by a plethora of enthusiasts to the minutest of details. In the process many have concluded that there are some ideas which are a complete contrast to the original ideas and thus they have resulted in the myths being formed about Social Media. Let’s get to know – What are the most common Social Media Myths and the truths in them? Social Media helps us calculate various media metrics; but all should be in the form of data. Let me remind you, this is the era where data is available, we are still to reach that Utopian era where knowledge is available on the social media front. To come to a conclusion after fair amount of examination, only data is needed, and not knowledge, because data will never trump the simplest of theor...

Brian Steel Demythologizes Early Foreign-led Sathya Sai Baba Myths
2009-07-23 01:08:00 My previous blog was: Brian Steel On John Hislop?s 27 Years as Sathya Sai Baba?s Spokesman. It refers to the article article: Sathya Sai Baba?s credibility gap: Contributions by John Hislop. (Brian Steel. January 2009). This latter article is a scholarly, most readable and quite long article. Recognizing that many of my readers have heavy demands on their time, I shall select what I think are some of the key lines of his investigations. The reader may like to pick and chose among these - or else, of course aim to read deeply into Steel. At the moment, I am drawing attention to some more recent work of Steel, whose books while yet a follower of Sathya Sai Baba were highly-regarded, as they are now by ex-devotees and other critics of the Sathya Sai cult. Those who have time - perhaps for exhaustive academic, media investigative or book preparation purposes - will find Steel's work indispensible. It is vast and rigorous.

Myths About Sweating
2009-04-19 15:49:00 Its been a long time since I updated my blog. I will try to update more often from now on as I had completed my course of study. First thing for today, is about Sweating. There are some myths about sweating which most of us still believe in. Hence, at here I will try to list out a few and hope to correct the wrong peception of sweating.Myth 1 : No Sweat, No WorkoutMost of us tend to thinks that it is a must to sweat as much as possible when working out. If one do not sweat during work out, that means we are not getting any benefit from it. This perception is totally wrong.We must first need to understand that sweating is just a cooling mechanism for our body. When we sweat, it means that we are really hot and our body needs some way to cool down the temperature. Some of us will be able to tolerate a higher temperature than others, hence may sweat less during the workout, but this does not mean that those who sweat less are not working as hard as those who sweat more.Myth 2 : The Mor...
