Smorgasbord: December 2012
http://iamplural.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A place where I encounter, relish and challenge my scatteredness. Monday, December 31, 2012. Is There a Hierarchy in Rapes? There is no hierarchy in rapes but the culture that allowed deep divisions must be ready to introspect and apologise before it seeks healing. Yes, it is time for mourning. Unwarranted death, even that of a complete stranger, must aggrieve us. Yes, it is time for mourning. Innocence is trampled far too often in this sinful world. But time such as this also forces some questions on us.

Last month, I had bought a copy of Manorama Tell Me Why. It only had her unverified signature. Now this one didn't have a whole lot about her, but her picture and few basic detail.

http://iamplural.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A place where I encounter, relish and challenge my scatteredness. Sunday, November 25, 2012. British media must truly be in masochistic mode to be promoting a book like that. Sometime I wonder if those guys have really begun taking pleasure in this intellectual self-flagellation . Anything gone wrong with their former colonies has to be their. Doing . All historical tragedies in those societies must be their. One must find a way to define this strange streak of residual imperialism.

A place where I encounter, relish and challenge my scatteredness. Saturday, December 27, 2014. The 200 Years of the Punjabi Bible. Rulers must always remember that their power is not absolute and there is one above them whom they must give an account to. More importantly, Lowrie also mentioned to him that civil authorities in “Christian” countries can use their power to punish wrongdoings of the priestly class: ‘“What! If a padre commits a crime, will they [the government] punish him like another man?

http://iamplural.blogspot.com/2014/03/voters-must-demand-world.html
A place where I encounter, relish and challenge my scatteredness. Friday, March 21, 2014. Voters must demand the world. Hum mehnatkash is duniya se jab apna hissa mangenge. Ik bagh nahin, ik khet nahin, hum saari duniya mangenge. Hasan Kamaal had slightly modified the words of Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s ghazal for this song for the 1983 Hindi movie Mazdoor. The aspiration of people is at an all-time high today. The general election is around the corner. How are people going to fulfil their aspirations? These days...

Smorgasbord: May 2013

A place where I encounter, relish and challenge my scatteredness. Friday, May 31, 2013. It was after a gap of seven years that I volunteered for a summer-day camp or SDC. I last helped the Chandigarh Bible Fellowship as a puppet and drama coordinator in 2005 and 2006. In fact, it was about that time that I began this blog. Working with and for kids is always fun, sometimes stressful but fun nonetheless. Then there was another story of a mother's amazing devotion to a physically challenged daughter. I...
