More than erotica, a 360° walk through the temples of Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh
There's more than just erotica here. A virtual tour into the land of mysticism called Khajuraho

On arriving in Khajuraho, your mind is filled with thoughts about what you're about to see, the inscriptions, sculptures; the popular imagery about the place. But when you enter the various temples here, you'll see the walls you expected to be covered in erotica, actually have engravings of day-to-day processes.Desire here becomes a vague term, because it can be interpreted in more ways than one: an (excessive) need for sex, to achieving divinity via satisfaction. The things you learn from these walls and the metaphors inscribed on them are significant.Here’s a 360-degree view of a little expedition we had at Khajuraho.Don't miss the last shot in the video: it comprises a rather recent construction (from the 19th century), which is meant to unify religions. A Hindu spire, a Jain cupola, a Buddhist stupa and mosque-style dome.A virtual tour will only give you a glimpse at this land of mysticism. To witness it in reality, we suggest you pay a visit.The only thing Khajuraho lacks, is connectivity. If it were to have better roads leading to its monuments, it would flourish as a tourist location.

The 90s show Friends, and why we misread modern friendships
We’ve all heard about the loneliness epidemic at this point. It isn’t even particularly shocking — it seems like the result on the obvious — people consistently glued to their phones, seeking intimacy and even sex through phone screens, consistent comparison to other peoples’ partners, and what their relationships look like, to how far everyone has come in their jobs — there is much to feel diminished about.
