I have always thought of philosophy as simply “the love of wisdom” (Gk. “philosophia”). And by wisdom, I mean “the ability to judge correctly and to follow the best course of action, based on knowledge and understanding” (Lockyer p. 1103). On these bases, philosophy for me is carefully knowing (... więcej)

Few days from the life of Niranjana F(39)

Translations: Didi - Elder Sister
Sandesh - A kind of sweet (Northern India)

Most probably this will be my first work, published. The entire story is built against the timid, secretive, tabooed Indian culture, within, loads of things happen only in the dark.

Niranjana = Pure form of anything (... więcej)

ISTANBUL

The dock birds
pull me to the sea
like I am pulled to suffering,
to Istanbul, that wrings sorrows
that fall on me.
Solitude without you.

In this obscure city,
my blood clotting,
I am snowed under with dreams.
The wide streets accentuate your absence.
Istanbul takes me from city (... więcej)

The Only Girl On Which The Spell Worked

It was unusual. She wasn’t mean or jealous or, ever said anything bad about others. But the wrong thing happened when she looked in that large round-shaped beautiful mirror that hung in the room for so many years. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t look away.

It spoke to her (... więcej)

Swamp = a low lying land seasonally flooded and has woody trees.
Gray = colorless, old, lifeless, decaying.
A small bird = personification of nature.
The uniformly cut pile of wood = symbol of industrialism, charmless and dead uniformity of machine. (... więcej)

My understanding of 'Mending Wall' by Robert Frost

Wall = symbol of boundary, limitation, lack of freedom, conservativeness

It is in the nature of humans to be possessive and create a personal circle into which they do not want someone else to come and go as they please. They have in their nature a sort of secrecy and definiteness and they like (... więcej)

On a rainy day

It had been drizzling from the morning. It is not that I hate it. But drizzle over a long period of time seems too depressing to me. I do not know- but today a dark and gloomy emotion is stirring my heart to no ends. My eyes are wet with tears.
I close my eyes I discover my consciousness afloat in the (... więcej)

Anything is Reasonable

Anything can be made to seem reasonable; mathematics, philosophy and religion are instigators of this. Their disciples will hide all their mistakes. They will only admit to their successes and never to their failures. It’s like their followers are all in some quasi-demented state of believing only (... więcej)

Cumulonimbus

A cloud grew over me—a cumulonimbus. It was dark. I made no noise as I crouched in bed. I was hiding under the covers. The door was locked. The lights were off. I could feel the air getting hot as I breathed in the air I had breathed out a second ago. I was hiding under the covers. There was limited (... więcej)

A Note On Women's History Month

Just to keep it real, I don't consider myself a feminist. As a matter of fact, I still consider myself a conservative in spite of my hatred towards legalism and hyper-traditionalism. But it's just that I am so marveled at the beauty that God has made in the entire creation. And what I admire (... więcej)

There is this bird. The tenants of an apartment across the street have bought it few days back. I cannot clearly see the bird as it is housed on the third floor and my vision is hindered by the height and the protective grates of the veranda.

How I met Zsófia

It was on a Friday night during one midsummer.

Workplaces were closed and all doors of (... więcej)

At the end of my story
We would not live happily ever after..
At the end of my story
I picture you
Going with another guy
Hand in hand
Arm in arm..
And I picture myself
Lonely and sad
Half-naked, on the beach,
And look
Wind is coming,
Hooh, it's cold!
Look at the sky,
It seems as if (... więcej)
