FROM THE LEGENDARY “NO” OF ROSA PARKS TO BARACK OBAMA’S VICTORIOUS “YES WE CAN”: THE IMPORTANCE OF ABSENCES AND “NO”S IN THE BLACK AMERICAN SENSIBILITIES

What is freedom but an absence of bondage? Freedom is the ability to have a voice. Freedom is to say ‘No’ to segregation, to oppression, to abnegation. Most of all, freedom is to be visible. Freedom is to exist. From Rosa Park’s legendary ‘No’ to Barack Obama’s victorious ‘Yes We Can’: Black America has traveled [...]

The Red rebels and the trend followers: JNU fashion

We all know that story. God told Mr. Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit. Nevertheless, he eventually did. Well, this Mr. Adam was the first student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (technical not but ideologically yes). Nested in a thousand-acre campus, JNU forms a world of its own. The walls of the administrative block, the [...]

Years mocking go by. Cry a little. Along the path. The beggars took you there. Cry a little. Feed a little. The [...]

writing as an act of immortality is an individual act and not an output of social quagmire: a reading of Anita Desai’s Fasting, Feasting and Khushwant Singh’s The Company of Women

The quest for immortality as the act of writing has always pushed the writer to re/ create a World that will always be infused with his or her own smell. The God of Small Things becomes synonymous with Arundhati Roy and Invisible Man with Ralph Ellison. The act of writing has taken up many colours [...]

An overview of Mr. William Wordsworth’s “Preface to Lyrical Ballads” and Mr. Samuel Coleridge’s “Biographia Literaria”

The task of reading Wordsworth and Colridge suits me perfectly. Little bits of fragmented rendering, signifying nothing. Both Master William and Master Samuel have greatly influenced my paper (surprisingly…huh?). Particularly Master Samuel. “Biographia Literaria” is an autobiography in discourse. But it is not a straightforward or linear autobiography. It is loosely structured and fragmented [...]

SOMETHING/ NOTHING MATTERS

our dear friend Plato (as one of our professors at JNU likes to call him) once said “nothing in this mortal world is worthy of great concern”.
now was that Plato’s existential angst against the uber-slick ways of life. you know -sex, rock n roll and “science”. or my post-facto reaction would be that it was his reply (middle finger) to the oppession, repression, et al -sion….

dearest diary,

How Sebastian Hecks got bullied, got stamped and got a life

(NB: There is absolutely no connection between the title and the content. The writer was trying to be funny while writing the title)

Let's face it. We aren't really Einsteins (if you don't know who/what he/that is then i rest my case.)

Nor is the Bornvita and Horlicks (things that young people are forced to drink to become tall/thick/strong/clever/human/etc.) going to make much of a difference in the next 50 light years.

Frankly it is comfortable to be stupid.

[You can ask stupid q… Continue
