Culmination

The glimmer at the end of the tunnel is the culmination point. It is the point where stories of different journeys meet and exchange notes. Some find commonalities, and others realize that so much of it was non-existent or irrelevant. Some choose to go back and talk to the path, the branches, the sun and … Continue reading Culmination

Short answers:

Taj Mahal

I see engraved patterns of unusual creativity and exquisite craftsmanship. White-labelling came into existence, when identities were lost in smooth paleness of marble. Taj Mahal is but a sculpted grave, with souls of unknown artists scattered in the invisible graveyard. I don’t see pine trees and the water canal, but hear muffled sounds of creators. … Continue reading Taj Mahal

Journey to Irrelevance

He is on unfamiliar terrain. The assignment is not clearly defined, he is not comfortable with local culture and his set of competencies cannot be put to use here. Vaguely, he thought of the celebrity singer who sat near Haji Ali, singing on a harmonium, and had collected twelve bucks for his talent. He used … Continue reading Journey to Irrelevance
