Vital Rhythm






















Life flows on promises, imperfect and frail
Live-stream of unkept words trail
What urges us then? To live, love
Hopeless hope to find hope

Dreams beyond love, love beyond dreams
Entrapped life, evolution, creation’s intimate stream
The beginning of the end or the end of beginning
Love or death, keep wondering

The Paradoxical Tourist

Image
Seeking empty spaces to deal with the emptiness within Looking for empty spaces, I go and crowd places. Abdicating the cacophony here, I subvert the quietude there. I go to see this, I go to see that. Browsing through the SD card, I see only myself. In front of this, and in front of that. Inexplicably wearing, My paradoxical hat.

Colonial and capitalist induced transformations as well as the resistances offered against such changes initiated complex processes whereby many modern nations and nationalities were formed. India is but the result of such processes. Although there is a considerable volume of scholarship on the origin of the idea of India, the respective histories of its numerous divergent constituent nations are often washed out and obliterated in the process of creating a grand assimilative history. Also missed out are the subaltern perspectives of nationhood from lesser known ethnic societies. For Assam and the northeast in general, who have been purportedly over-marginalized in the popular and acade...
