The Eternal Language We Forgot to Feel

Sanskrit — a language once spoken in temples, taught in ancient universities, and sung in hymns that carried the weight of human thought and divinity — now quietly sits in the corner of a student’s timetable, often chosen just to score easy marks.

It’s ironic. A language that shaped philosophies, science, art, and spirituality is now reduced to a few predictable questions in an exam paper. Students memorize verses without understanding them, translate lines about fruits and animals, and then move on — without realizing they’ve just brushed past something profound.

But Sanskrit is not just a subject. It’s a living thread woven through India’s heritage. It gave us the Vedas, the Ramayana, the Bhagavad Gita — texts that speak about the cosmos, duty, love, war, and peace in the most poetic and timeless way. It’s a language where every word has weight, every sound has energy, and every sentence carries more than just meaning — it carries emotion, intent, and soul.

Yet we treat it like a trick to boost grades.

The sad truth is, the system trains us to learn for performance, not for connection. And somewhere in the rush to finish syllabi and clear exams, we forget to feel. We forget that Sanskrit was never meant to be mugged up and forgotten. It was meant to be lived.

And here’s the beautiful part — it still can be. It’s in the mantras our grandparents whisper, in the architecture of temples, in the philosophies that still guide hearts and minds. Even as the world looks at Sanskrit for its scientific structure and potential in AI, we’re letting it fade into silence in our own classrooms.

We don’t need to become experts. But maybe we can look at a verse not as a hurdle, but as a doorway. Maybe we can let a shloka linger in our thoughts a little longer. Maybe we can see Sanskrit not as a scoring subject — but as a quiet inheritance waiting to be rediscovered.

Because Sanskrit isn’t eternal just because it’s ancient. It’s eternal because it still speaks — even if we’ve forgotten how to listen.

Do I study all the time?

People often thing I keep studying all the time, go to library oftenly, means I am studying all the time, writing this blog while sitting in my university, it's not that i keep studying, I love knowledge and always have an attempt to convert it to wisdom, share it with people and more. Last year since two years I had been doing preparation for JEE Main and the main teaching that it gave me is to love the concepts and their application in order to solve easy to complex problems. The world of engineering, computer science and specially AI is rapidly changing everyday with lot of stuff it's always best to keep yourself updating and I don't get some sort of stress or panic, by reading and increasing knowledge my brain and inner me feels calm. It's a hobby of mine to keep increasing knowledge... ~VV

Feeding your brain...

It's a recent incident that occurred with me, where I was watching some news related to  start-up and latest findings in Artificial Intelligence on Instagram, a person asked why you are using Instagram for such stuff, have fun, see comedy and funny stuff on Instagram. What's my main perspective that of course we cannot increase time, we have only 24 hours, but surely productive time can be increased. My main aim is that I don't want to feed my mind with the vulgar content that's being spread on social media, I keep reading good and spiritual stuff to keep mindset and myself motivated and energetic and I will surely continue the practice. Good things should be learnt even from enemies and bad stuff should not be learnt even from a friend. I welcome knowledge and ideas, as we do not know when it can enlighten our lives... ~VV

Sustainable Artificial Intelligence : Myth or Future

Is Sustainable AI Possible Without Harming the Environment? Let’s Talk. Lately, my feed has been full of stunning AI-generated visuals inspired by Studio Ghibli—whimsical, dreamy, and beautifully crafted. It’s amazing what today’s AI can create. But it also got me thinking... At what environmental cost are we generating this magic? Even OpenAI’s Sam Altman recently admitted: “GPUs are melting.” A metaphor, yes—but one that captures a harsh reality: the sheer energy demands behind AI models are massive, and growing. So here’s the real question: Can we build AI that doesn’t harm the environment? We love AI for its intelligence, speed, and creativity—but rarely do we think about the carbon emissions, water usage, and resource-intensive hardware powering these models behind the scenes. Training a large language model can emit as much CO₂ as five cars over their lifetimes. Data centers consume enormous electricity and water for cooling—often powered by fossil fuels. Hardware like GPUs and T...
