Disguised in academic garb ,
Reading and writing came to my rescue
Wrote poems and that slim volume will appear later
Under the title :
A Silent Soliloquy on the Campus Politics:
The wild tigers can't be caged .
The opening para reads like this:
"Never again will a single story
be told as though it's the only one "
Says John Borger on whom
My literature daughter did MPhil dissertation.
Gentlemen of the jury,
There can never be a single story,
There are different ways of seeing,
When I look at the events gone by
It appears as if it's an incredibly a sad tale
Of academic jealousy over my intensity in
Teaching and the relevant writing on contemporary
National and international economic events...
The fear that it aroused
The hatred it kindled
Culminating into the wicked acts of a
Few stupid Heads at micro and macro level
Soaked in academic misery and drought
I did not commit suicide and instead
Embraced prof Paul Krugmans International economics
And taught with vengence...
My text is inevitably stained with tears.
This opening lines do capture th current crude reality of Modi's india unable to negotiate the covid storm
Transforming the nation into graveyard.
Following is my post Adelaide diary for perusal
By the true Indians to take stock of the situation
As the inept handling has more ramifications
For the future.
