Walk Your Mind






Walk your mind. Take it out. 

Refence the thoughts. Quarantine the familiar.  Gather thought implements and push it up the the attic. Let go. 

Disconnect the premises. Pour in a fresh can of energiser. Let the mind loose. Let go.

Reload the people. Relocate the me. Recraft the possibility tangent. Reengineer the thought processes. Recolour the walls. Remix the doors. Reposition the windows. Remake you. Let go. 

Repeople the mindscape. Redress the world around. Rework on the hypotheses. Remark the processes. Rewonder at the benign simplicities. Rebreathe the passion around. Let go.

Relay the roads. Rewander the by lanes. Rewater the fruits.  Let go. 

Reposition your guards. Recan your worms. Redress your memories. Refresh your belly. Relearn your teachings. Let go.

Rewrite your speeches. Rerhyme your prose. Reword your fate. Let go. 

Rewet your consciousness. Repeal your dreams. Relose you. Rewin the loss. 

Reengineer the body. Rewire the intestines. Recult your skull. Retire you. Let go. 

Rerun the stills. Refare the shows. Return the stakes. Resky the roofs. Reconnect the waves. Let go. 

Retest your wind.

Reweave the waters. Rewhistle the stops. Regame the names.

Rebite the revolution. Retravel the fluids. Resing the sins. Let go. 

Resin.

Respine.

Respend.

Just let go.

On Foregrounding the Backdrops

    On Foregrounding the Backdrops Much of my liking for large pictures has lot to do with the backdrops and the 'others' in the frames. By others I mean the also-rans, in a way! But this is more about the past when pictures were not so common, when not everything could be shot and framed, as we do now. Magazines with photos were a premium then and colour pics even harder to come by. Rather than the ones who were the focus, meant to be the focus, my eyes would involuntarily wander off to the rest of the things and people who have been caught by the camera. It is their looks, expressions, postures, feels, appearance, that my senses will work on. The man in the middle, or men, those on whom the story is supposed to zero in, will fade out and the backdrop will zoom in. Imagination tracking those to their illogical conclusions constituted my act of reading the pictures. It was such a delight as it helped one keep the trivial off and enjoy the core of the margins. When o...

Can Politics Empathise?

  E. M. Forster wrote about the need for ‘tolerance’ and argued that the real force which can help rebuild the world after the World Wars will be not love or forgiveness, but 'tolerance'. Though I read that essay long back during student days, as it was ‘taught’ as part of curricular requirement, it was 'studied' and then abandoned, in a way. But still the argument of the essay kept coming back, as it does now. I didn't grasp quickly the inherent link between empathy and tolerance, but there sure is a reason why Forster showed up. There are many ways the two, tolerance and empathy, complement each other and the presence of the former can surely help build the other. Empathy is the capacity to know and experience how others feel, putting yourself in another's position. But is there something like political empathy? Why is it not there, generally speaking? I would like to explain political empathy as the capacity of one politica...

The Profes'sorry'ate!

If what was reported in the social media sometime ago was true, an MLA once asked a Minister whether Professorship category existed in Colleges. The reply from the Education Minister was that it doesn't, even though, they say, the response was from the minister who designated himself as Professor! The tendency to brand oneself as professor among College faculty members is on the rise for while. Many of those who have even recently joined the educational service as faculty prefix a Prof. before their names. Or, that is what I feel when I go through some of the reports in the media regarding College activities. As a result almost all of the college faculty are entitled to be designated Professors that way! Some relate this with seniority. If you have been in service for a while, have been teaching long, then you can stick the label on you. Or you can allow others to stick it on you. It grows on you and you take a new feel about who you are! A Professor Babu enables you to be...
