Mourning the passing of the Rev Cyril Debruslais, SJ, a brilliant Jesuit philosopher and theologian, in Pune yesterday. I had the pleasure and honour of knowing him in my high school years at St Xavier‘s, Calcutta. As a 14 year old flirting with the appeal of atheism, I was profoundly struck by a lecture he delivered in response to my scepticism, making the epistemological arguments for the existence of God. While rationalism always has its limits in matters of faith, that ability to combine reasoning with conviction was a hallmark of even the young “Father Cyril”, who went on to shape generations of priests at the Janna Deepa Theological seminary in Pune. His imprint will be left behind on many minds , who will In turn transmit his wisdom, compassion, and faith in human liberation to generations yet to come. Rest in peace, Father Cyril!
A movie can be representation of actual matters, fiction or critical expression of issues of a society. As Indians,we have the right to freedom & expression. It can be in the form of a movie. Why should right wing groups get agitated by it? Kudos to Kerala movie.

Recently I came across the protests happening in TISS, Mumbai campus. Ramadas criticised NEP. And students have the right to criticize & the policy makers have the duty to take the public criticism positively for the updating NEP.

When you pray, don’t be afraid to bring everything going on inside you to Jesus: emotions, fears, problems, expectations, memories, hopes. Prayer is dialogue. Prayer is life. #ApostolicJourney#Hungary
Madhavi Shukla offers insight into the 'Digital India' project and facial recognition technology. Can users agree when they don't know how their biometric data is used? Who handles the data? How does their positionality impact the ethics of its use? #DesirableAI#ManyWorldsofAI
S Jaishankar’s father, K Subramanyam said “Dharma was killed in Gujarat (2002 Riots).
Those who failed to protect innocent citizens are guilty of adharma.
Rama…would have used his bow against the ‘Asura’ rulers of Gujarat.”
Shame on son —serving Asura! https://t.co/rb5gkcerYs

Our score has worsened since 2014 in the 8 years of the Modi government
16.3 per cent of all Indians are undernourished, meaning they do not get enough food
When will the Hon'ble PM address real issues like malnutrition, hunger, and stunting and wasting among children?
22.4 crore people in India are considered undernourished
India's rank in the Global Hunger Index is near the bottom -- 107 out of 121 countries
I would like to appeal to those with political responsibilities to make a serious examination of conscience before God, who is the God of peace and not of war, the Father of all, not just of some, who wants us to be brothers and not enemies. #Ukraine#Peace
@POTUS@JoeBiden Sir,
You are doing a grave sin. Please stop it. Yours is business interests. And pay the lives of innocent people. Please stop war.....I beg you.
Yours in Christ.
@POTUS Biden sir,
Why do you try to expand your business interests to Ukraine? You desire it. Please stop war. You are trying to pour oil on the fire. You are interested to test & sell your weapons in the warfield. Please stop it... please.
May Christ's peace be with you.
