A Civil Society of Gandhi’s Imagination

“If national life becomes so perfect as to become self-regulated, no representation becomes necessary. There is then a state of enlightened anarchy. In such a state, everyone is his own ruler. He rules himself in such a manner that he is never a hindrance to his neighbour.”–M. K. Gandhi

Just in the above short statement of the Mahatma, we could more or less perceive a civil society of his imagination. In other words, we could draw an outline of the civil…

I...

I can talk of myself and speak of various activities I engage in, and give myself partial identity through these engagements. Some of which I may excel at.

Still, before the values of the big world, I am next to nothing. Before the faces of the powerful and game callers, I am nobody, an invisible entity, a mere murmur passing into… Continue

There is no darkness in the midst of Light

I live in a world where the words male and female are flexible and subjective, even redundant. A world of perpetual transformation, where sexuality and gender become obsolete as people begin to question why they should be the same person, day in, day out. A world where the overriding ethos is to question and explore your sexuality and gender without the restrictions prevalent in them altogether and surrounding activities that…

When We Share

Assimilate, but don't imitate,

absorb the goodness that you see,

rejecting all the bad ways of hate,

assured we can do better if we only try.

Let us live within each others eyes,

see the world as one united soul,

never more to clash with futile sighs,

for we can do so much better as a whole...

Move ever forward into clear days of hope,

trusting in the one inescapable fact

that we all depend upon the depth and scope

which comes… Continue

senses enlivened

seeking peace

when he arrived

at the gate

it was chained and locked

and death defied him
