Tulsi has been a lifelong vegetarian and has been a vegan for several years.

Stop senseless slaughter of animals . eg : “Unnecessarily medical professionals are still using animals for training when we see many other advanced countries in the world have stopped that practice and are using science&technology to be able to get the kind of training that they need”

She then speaks out against unethical treatment of animals in factory farms across the country.

In general, she talks about the positives of being vegan, but emphasizes that she would never force the choice of vegetarianism/veganism on anyone or shame anyone for not being vegetarian/vegan.

Sita Ramam movie review

Sita Ramam: (Yudh se likhi Prem Kahaani) Summary: An epic love story movie with off the charts chemistry, beautiful music and songs, brilliant photography. Mrunal Thakur as Sita Mahalakshmi and Dulquer Salmaan as Liutenant Ram absolutely ace their roles. The chemistry between them is just off the charts. Their acting is absolutely top notch. The movie also ties in multiple other things well - patriotism, humanity, emotions, comedy, terrorism/war etc. Importantly it has twists and turns that keep you very interested in the movie (little patience is required for the buildup in the first few minutes). Rashmika as connecting character Afreen is very good. Support cast is very good. Overall, movie is an absolute masterpiece. Definite 10/10. Do not search about the movie if you haven't watched it yet as you may end up spoiling atleast part of it. Spoiler free details : I have of course watched the movie in both Hindi and Telugu (with subtitles). Its great in both. Using Hindi dialogues h

Using a rope to square a circle - Śulba Sūtras

Image
  Using rope to square a circle What is squaring a circle? It is drawing a square equal to the area of a given circle. Area of a circle = Pi*r^2 where r is the radius of the circle Area of square = s^2 where s is the side of the square Therefore Pi*r^2=s^2 implies s= r*sqrt(Pi) But Pi is a transcadental number. Therefore its square root cannot be computed exactly This squaring of a circle using a compass and straight edge is considered impossible. Hence squaring a circle is used by many as a metaphor for doing the impossible. However it can be easily done via a rope as explained the Sulbasutras. The Sulbasutras are appendices to the Vedas which give rules for constructing altars. (Sanskrit śulba: "string, cord, rope") are sutra texts belonging to the Śrauta ritual. Śrauta is a Sanskrit word that means "belonging to śruti", that is, anything based on the Vedas of Hinduism. It is an adjective and prefix for texts, ceremonies or person associated with śruti. In Bharat
