Importance of kitchen in Vastu Shastra

The kitchen represents the fire element, one of the five elements that govern our lives. When used correctly, fire can warm us and enhance our lives positively. However, when misused, it can cause damage. Hence, the kitchen's placement and design are of utmost importance in Vastu Shastra.




Vastu Shastra Tips for a Prosperous Kitchen


  1. Kitchen placement: The kitchen should be in the Southeast Zone of the house.
  2. Cooking direction: While cooking, one must face east, and ideally, there should be a window towards the east zone of the kitchen. The morning rays of the sun coming from the East have the ability to kill bacteria and purify food, ensuring good health for the residents.
  3. Water placement: Water can be placed towards the North.
  4. Mixer grinder and appliances: Appliances that involve churning activity, such as the mixer grinder, microwave, and oven, should ideally be placed towards the Southeast of the kitchen.
  5. Refrigerator placement: The refrigerator represents the air element, and hence its placement should be towards the Northwest.
  6. Cabinet placement: All the heavy cabinets that hold heavy utensils should be towards the Southwest.
  7. Elements placement: Water and fire are opposing elements; hence, the washbasin should not be directly opposite the fire or next to it. They should neither be confronting nor attached to each other.
  8. Colours: Keep the colours in the kitchen soft and pastel. Adding bright colours creates more chaotic energies. Please refrain from using black, as it signifies water. Water and fire coming together can create clashing energies.

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It was not the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a town ...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
