This is highly unlikely that you would have thought about Sanskrit as a business idea. Apart from being a revered yet hardly-cared-for and almost-forgotten language, people do not take Sanskrit as worthy of any consideration. Yet, there is a successful business being carried out at a micro-level by online entrepreneurs. I myself have done it and I see great potential in Sanskrit as a business opportunity, at least at the micro level. Thus far, I have earned more than 2 lakh Indian Rupee from Sanskrit in various forms. The most prominent of them is Sanskrit Tattoos. I created a...

Patiala provides a small but good retreat for wild-life enthusiasts. Yes, if you are photography-lover too, you can still try this place called Deer park. It is also known as Moti Bagh Deer Park and was established in 1968 within the Bir Moti Bagh wild life sanctuary. It is situated on the Patiala-Dakala road near the Sheesh Mahal.

A recent one allowed me to take some pictures...

As I begin my career as a seed funder I now look at Sholay’s 3 principal characters...

They also made contextual inputs in the name of captions. The overall presentation got viral on web and almost everybody is saying that this is hilarious...

His vision was different and his motives were different than being earning money through a unique business idea. However,...
