The Landscape is Changing

I wake up to dew drops in my eyes. I wonder where's the moisture from. The sun sets an orange glow. And the sky cuddles it in a bright blue blanket.

I wake up, walk around and feel the naked world. I touch the pieces, the joints, the emerging shapes ... Yes, the patterns are changing.

I stand at the threshold and look back. The hazy clouds, the gripping tall structures, the trenches, the chains, the warm soil and the soft leaves. I sigh.

I turn around, and face the east again. The reels have already moved on. I take a step into the landscape that is changing.

Who is the Power Play For - The JD(U) Split

Bihar CM Nitish Kumar announced JD(U)'s split from NDA (read BJP). The cited reason? Emergence of a polarizing figure is unacceptable.
I wonder ... Ha ha ha. Well, what do I gain from this split? Yes me, a common citizen? I wonder whether the various party commandos thought about me before making the various dramatic decisions on the national level. Did you ma'ams and sirs? Ha ha ha.

To me, it seems, I was never in picture. It was about power, and is. If it isn't, tell me what benefit will the Third Front bring me? Didi and Nitishji don't like Modi and BJP, and so they float the plan - nothing to do with giving me roti, kapdaa or makaan.

Well, I am used to being ignored. And I admire their spirit - to keep hanging in power. After all, they are power-hungry. I would have got tired of the whole thing. After all, I have the hunger in my belly to satisfy.

Veruugal

Hello world!

Veruugal mean 'roots' in Malayalam.

Is this blog a journal of exploration? An excavation of soil of facts, trenches of experiences, rocks of adversities, and so on, to ultimately reach the goal - roots? No.

By veruugal, I imply 'essence'. Essence that solidly upholds me, that stretches beneath me and beyond me, that binds me to you, you to others, us to humanity, to other life forms and lifeless forms. Essence that gives us consciousness, wisdom, intuition, vitality. If this still didn't make sense to you, compare veruugal to 'social consciousness' that Carl Jung talks about. Or, if you have read him, veruugal are exactly the 'roots' Dr Scott M Peck talks about.

Veruugal are instrinsic. So real, more real than me.

So, I'm not interested in any intellectual or literary excavation. Yes, exploration will happen; it's a part of life, but not it's sole purpose.

What I am interested is in the flow, since I flow from the veruugal. As my my body, mind and soul flow in the course of time, I capture some parts of the essence here.

You are welcome here, friend, another part of this essence!

P.S. I'm called 'Chandni Girija'
