Given the philosophical
bent of mind, I know that I am here, not to compare or compete with others.My
uniqueness as a person, as a teacher, writer and orator and so on has been not
fully grasped by your good self .The creative and productive side of the
individual has been fully ignored, ridiculed and marginalized under the
dominant weight of hypocrisy and sadism.I can’t blame you.
No intention to measure
my success or failure by comparing with others. But if you have any self
introspection, have time and mental rhythm and resilience to dig into the recent
past you would notice that fragmented, degraded and devalued
minds, with very little work ethics and academic potentials/output have been
showered by bonus and positions.I don’t quarrel over this.They have been
rewarded for their shallowness backed up by exhibition of flattery.
Temporarily you have
succeeded in erecting stumbling blocs to stifle my creativity and
enterprise.Foolishly I have given more room for blunting my innate capacity to
read and write.Now I know that I need to change and grow, in my own ways, doing
things which make me happy.
I
must undo the magical reality of anxiety manifested in me, which virtually
blocked my vision and modest
ambition-Mine will be neither cooperation not confrontation, but a pure self interospection, to tap the hidden potentials and power.If I am careful
enough to listen to the voice within me here and now- the precious moment,
which is nothing but the present, then present will not be tense and future,
less imperfect
This is the season of
seminar.Last week I was at AVC College to meditate on Friedman. On Friday, I delivered
a lecture on euro zone crisis, the essence of which I shall post soon.
The stories of the
currencies are not just given, but made depending upon one’s own perceptions of
the issues involved and understood by the story teller.I am a story teller.
In the face of complex and multiple factors
involved, there is difficulty in telling
the true story-It s very rare to get a
true or a natural story-construction is therefore artificial-in some sense – a
derivative of different view points .stories
are made from reality- reality is made up of events that have actually
occurred; in a true story events should
not be invented-plausible and
speculative observations could be made.
Selections and
arrangement must be such that they represent reality or at least do not
misrepresent them.
My task is to compose,
integrate, interpret and explain, components are not fully mine.
My intent is to look
for strong element of commonality- narration is not planned, it has evolved
given the absorption of the facts.I could select them from the whole range of
possible events/ outcomes.
This is true of not
only the currency crisis volume, but also on silent soliloquy piece on campus
politics.

Present Less Tense, Future Less Imperfect - Love the essence of it Sir. Looking forward to your thoughts on the Euro Crisis. Which direction is it going Sir?
