Friday, February 14, 2014. The Unlikely Peace at Cuchumaquic: Martin Prechtel. Surrounding Wendy Doniger's work on Hinduism reminded me of this extract from the book I read in recent past, The Unlikely Peace of Cuchumaquic which was worth mentioning to all, leftists, rightists, liberals, conservatives and all those grey shades of outlook in between:.

Designer at Work: Essential Rumi
http://spallavi.blogspot.com/2012/07/essential-rumi.html
Saturday, July 28, 2012. Can be an useful set of ideas that presents a philosophy which may ease one's strain and you actually experience inner walls of pre-held understanding crumbling, brick by brick. Leading you to recognize that our presence is perhaps a myth. And its left to us to unfold this myth, our mystery away from rational. Just finishing candle stub. As someone who is finally safe. From virtue and vice. The pride and the shame. We claim from those. Take an axe to the prison wall. Coleman Bark...

Tuesday, December 30, 2014. The Liquid Refuses To Ignite- Dave Besseling. The year 2014 wasn't the best year for me for reading. I have come to believe, for reading, 2012 still rules as one of my best year. Fortunately, whichever book decided to come to me this year happened to be a good read. Another thing that I have come to believe is that, you don't find books, books find you. Many things in universe come together to present books that you were meant to read. Besseling's experience in Varanasi will l...

Designer at Work: Joseph Anton: A Memoir by Salman Rushdie
http://spallavi.blogspot.com/2012/10/joseph-anton-memoir-by-salman-rushdie.html
Monday, October 01, 2012. Joseph Anton: A Memoir by Salman Rushdie. Having read only two of his books, I was eager to lay my hands on this one, a book, perhaps triggered as a reaction to the controversy that surrounded the author for good part of his life. His fault, he wrote a book about a religion he was born into, Satanic Verses. He had not pleased the fundamentalists. But since when the artistic expressions were made to merely please our senses? In place and bloodthirsty search for Rushdie by Jehadis.

Saturday, November 29, 2014. Surrender and Detach or Just Let Go. I stumbled on these 10 commandments somewhere and I recall making an instant note of it. These may not always resolve many things or everything. But then we do not always have to resolve everything, perhaps there is beauty in unresolved spaces or divine timing. If there is any such thing but I question less. Spiritual or not, don't buy it, I am not selling these. 4 Remember it’s All in Divine Timing — If you get frustrated by t...5 Letting...

Thursday, May 10, 2012. While Steve Jobs had his version of misfits who thought differently. Thinking of an older conversation with a friend, made me come back to the idea of misfits and understand it differently, perhaps. He had described a certain set of professional set-up as dusty, lawless, territorial. All those epithets that come to our mind when we think of Wild West. I had agreed with him wholeheartedly, then. But then,. Here is an excerpt from an essay by Coetzee on The Misfits.
