Again today, as is often the case these days, excruciating
love thrums up in me. Excruciating, perhaps because it’s too strong a force for

Somewhere
in 2008 I find I've said -
"I have no patience with patterns too large to see. I find I can’t wait
for revelations. I want to make sense of it now."
I must have been hurting, I was hurting. And I remember impatience. I
wanted answers for more than that immediate grief. I had not really expected to

सरकार ने कल न्योता भेजा

न्योते में कुछ असाध्य शर्तें भी थीं
साथ में कुछ भी नहीं ले जाना है, और कुछ भी नहीं।।
अब इस कुछ भी नहीं को कहाँ ढूँढूँ ?
क्या होता है ये कुछ भी नहीं?
और इससे भी अव्वल सवाल -
ख़ुद को कहाँ ढूँढूँ?
सरकार के न्योते के बाद
इस पर गहरा विचार किया

Back in Coimbatore after a month. Was delighted in the

I find that if this blog is to survive in any form at all then it needs a new context. But I find I have let so much water flow under the bridge that I am baulking at the effort it will take me to provide this context.
