SATYALOGUE ARTICLES

Ready-Made or Reddy-Made
January 2015 - My father is usually frugal but supports his “old friend” the tailor in India...? In balancing tradition and modernity, we must also balance the inner and outer worlds and values.

Ants in My Pantry, Ahimsa in My Heart
December 2014 - My Appa is the most peace-loving person I know, against violence of any kind—but when he sees ants in the kitchen, he goes on the warpath. Wouldn’t Gandhi say that's a bit hypocritical?

Swadesh Shanghaied
September 2014 - I know that Gandhiji was trained as an attorney, not as an economist, but what would he think of the fact that practically everything on the shelves of stores in the U.S. is made in China?

Time Pass …. Together

Autistic Genius

Working 9:00 to 5:00
June 2014 - The long hours required in graduate school can be horrific, says a PhD candidate. What would Gandhi say about work-life balance?

Balancing Dollars, Cents, and Common Sense
May 2014 - A teenager who can balance his own checkbook asks why the President, Senate, and Congress can't do the same for the country.

Mythical Model Minority
April 2014 - I am tired of trying to live up to everyone’s unreasonable expectations. I’m just an ordinary kid who will attend junior college. I'm hoping Gandhi said it’s okay not to be superhuman!
