The Myth Craze

Why do tales of fantastic creatures and extraordinary civilizations fascinate us so much? Why are fairy tales so addictive, or for that matter the futuristic sci-fi novels equally absorbing? If you are as infatuated with the plethora of mythology and world of fantasy as I am then join me on this fun ride!

Let’s explore the history of mythology to begin with. I plan to write this in parts:
Part I – The world of "invented" mythology
Part II – "Discovery" of fantastic creatures
Part III – Folklore and its impact
Part IV – Religion & mythology
Part V – Culture and Mythology – Emphasis on Indian and Greek mythology
Part VI – Science & mythology
Part VII – Where does "myth" end and "reality" begin

The human mind never ceases to amaze! So look out for part I coming soo.

Reviving A Lost World

I have been considering this for a long time now. To revive a long lost blog. I had a few plans for this blog, and while I am ruminating on where that will lead, I am going to be posting some stuff of general interest. I hope that my regular readers will find the new posts informative.

Feel free to share comments.
