Memoirs of a Confused Soul

This confused soul opened his blog nearly a year ago, thought about what to write, what to publish and what to express in a way that people (you) will read, like, appreciate and encourage.

He thought over it and came to no conclusions or rather to the conclusion NO, that he could not and should not write, after all there was nothing interesting that he could offer. And who wants to read about the confused soul?


So the confused soul ignored that blog again, nearly forgot about it.


Then he came to what is called and believed to be the Greatest Country In the World!

Met different people, ate new kinds of food each day and tried to learn and understand about others. Still he had nothing to write! Or still he did not find a topic

wait!

Is that confused soul Lazy too?


very recently he came to know that he stays in the same part of the world that encouraged Robert Frost to write the poems like the woods are lovely dark and deep.......

and the confused soul decided to write! The woods then must be great


they are, they make one think, introspect and ponder over various ideas that one takes for granted and and and ..........................

and this is as far as confused soul's stretching of his similarities with Robert Frost is concerned!

wait and watch out for more stories from this beautiful mind! confused and wandering and not lost, not yet!

Singapore Summit and China’s Strategic Assumptions in East Asia

Thus it appears as if after pulling out a credible Iran deal, one which has enough checks and balances as well as involvement of other like-minded countries, The US President   Donald Trump gave away a lot in Singapore in return little verifiable in return from Kim. It appears as if North Korea, a de-facto nuclear power, is the bigger winner out of the Singapore summit. Donald Trump did have his moment of unilateral glory in Singapore but if Japan and South Korea came out on top, then they would have more reasons to worry. Moreover, China’s headaches would rise were they to act on those worries. Until the Singapore summit, Donald Trump and Kim Jong un had fairly same reasons for direct talks. For Trump it was his desire to stamp the American supremacy. He sought to show China its place, after years of engagement policy by Obama by first completely discrediting the Six Party talks which were not only China-initiated but also China-led. He used social media on one...

ग्रंथविश्व : पर्यावरणवादाच्या ‘बायबल’ची पन्नाशी महत्त्वाची कशी?

‘सायलेंट स्प्रिंग’ या रॅशेल कार्सन यांनी लिहिलेल्या पुस्तकाची पहिली आवृत्ती अमेरिकेत २७ सप्टेंबर १९६२ रोजी प्रकाशित झाली. म्हणजे आता या पुस्तकाला ५० वर्षे पूर्ण झाली आहेत. गेल्या अर्धशतकात या पुस्तकाचे अनेक भाषांमधील अनुवाद प्रसिद्ध झाले, इंग्रजीत तर अनेकानेक आवृत्त्याही निघाल्या. त्याहीपेक्षा महत्त्वाचे म्हणजे, ‘सायलेंट स्प्रिंग’मध्ये मांडलेल्या संकल्पनांवर आणि त्यामागल्या तत्त्वज्ञानावर आधारलेली अनेक पुस्तके पुढल्या काळात लिहिली गेली. आजच्या लोकसत्तेत प्रकाशित लेख . याची मूळ इंग्लिश आवृत्ति लवकरच ब्लॉग वर टाकेन! My article in today's Marathi paper Loksatta. It is on the 50th anniversary of Rachel Carson's seminal book Silent Spring. I will publish the English version of this article on this blog asap!
Having known south Mumbai in minute details and knowing this area well, having walked around extensively to be at the Gateway to inhale a sense of freedom that the air in this part of country gives, I, a diehard Mumbaikar, am particularly disturbed by the war that these terrorists have waged on my city and my country. I just keep getting the feeling all through these times that I am in deep sleep and this is one of those nightmares I will forget after waking up. I wish. The pain of the victims’ families and the destruction are heartbreaking but what bothers me more is the shallowness expressed by some of our citizen, who are famous for being famous, in this hour of serious contemplation. I am talking of the Suhel Seth phenomena. He was loud and clear in his criticism not just of the terrorists but also equally of government mechanism and apparatus. The problem I have in this is not just that his criticism of the system in the situation is unfair, but he was jumping the guns too early....
