A compromise is a bargain, a transaction of interests between two conflicting powers; it is not a true reconciliation. True reconciliation proceeds always by a mutual comprehension leading to some sort of intimate oneness. #SriAurobindo - CWSA21
Auroville city development as per the approved masterplan, stalled for decades, has started in earnest due to impetus from the present Secretary and the Governing Board nominated by the Govt. of India. Completion of the Crown (road) will act as a catalyst for the city's growth.

the article that inspired me to read ‘Unsettling Utopia’ by Jessica Namakkal
"The reason Auroville continues to be mythologised as a postcolonial, utopian, spiritual project, despite its evident colonial continuities and affiliations, is because of the abiding nostalgia of “French India as a space of positive colonial existence”

Mohan Bhagwat says there is a need to review Hindu texts and traditions
Mohan Bhagwat is more woke than Chandrachud ... agree?
Mohan Bhagwat on Ramcharitmanas Row: मोहन भागवत बोले ग्रंथों की समीक्षा जरूरी.
Mohan Bhagwat's attack on our books.Earlier we did not have texts, it was going on thro oral tradition. Later t scriptures got mixed up n sum selfish people inserted something in t scripture wrongly. It is necessary to review the knowledge of those scriptures and traditions.
[Imagine this: I drove on the Sri Aurobindo Marg in Delhi everyday, but I did not know who Sri Aurobindo was. Leave aside his spirituality, I did not even know he was a freedom fighter. What can be more tragic for the young of our nation?] GC #SriAurobindo
No other govt is going to do anything concerning Sri Aurobindo. So whatever little the present govt manages to accomplish should be considered as great. At least the kind of secular and liberal environment being aimed at much to the chagrin of the hardliners needs to be supported
Bhagwat-Modi seem to be the current version of Gandhi-Nehru duo who are leading India to modernity. Their task is more difficult as the core supporters are deeply entrenched in tradition and religion. But the Constitutional ethics demands wide-ranging changes for staying in power.
People are free to support their preferred political leaders as the next Prime Minister but the question is what radical changes can he bring about. Where are the policy papers: political, economic, and social? Ideology should be discussed and not persons. That's the party system.
Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively on religion and culture by providing a critique of tradition. But Indians didn't pay sufficient attention to his yogic vision. The result is before us. Reforms are being contemplated in view of election. But following #SriAurobindo is the solution.
It's amusing that fresh constitutional matters are being formulated in the court and not in the parliament or in the people's court. Granting Sovereignty to the linguistic States can solve most of the problems India is facing now. The Central govt has become absolutely redundant.

Dahibara-AluDum is not a quintessential odia dish. it's a fusion that somehow became popular in Cuttack in the Seventies. The Dahibara is so substandard and the AluDum so spicy and oily. But in combination they make up for each other's deficiency. Dahipani quenches the thirst too.

A much-needed initiative but medicine should be part of the main syllabus so that children are trained in the basic life skills.
It happened in 2013 and will repeat a decade later. Some prominent Modi supporters will go against him creating a flutter and a few top opponents will start singing the praise of Modi. So don't take these seriously; all part of the script. Meanwhile, Opposition Unity circus is on.
