I'm a Practical Man, you know. What about You?

I'm a practical man, you know. What about you?
I don't really like any philosopher or scientist.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't have any vision for the world.
I know that the World itself is taking care of itself.
Why to bother or to waste time in thinking?
Practically, thinking kills our spirit of amusement!
Why to read, if it is profitable to save time for insatiable earnings?
Why to listen philosophers or poets? They didn't understand a simple lesson that life is lived not thought!
Pity to those people who are obsessed for knowledge.
They must open eyes and pay heed to one of the greatest philosophers of all time, Immanuel Kant.
He believed that the "thing in itself" is unknowable.
All our "knowledge are human knowledge".
Knowledge is as childish as a toy of a zealous child.
I prefer not to play with these toys.
I'm a practical man, you know. What about you?

I'm successful.
I'm earning and thinking about it all the time.
What else I'm supposed to do?
Many stars are born and many died;
Who knows what happened to them?Humans are not that different from stardust.
We are doomed to die even if we are exploring the glory of wisdom.
We are the prisoners of our own thoughts.
I don't like discussing what is just or unjust.
I like to be productive, efficient, and ready to be used as fuel for the market! I'm a modern man in every way;
A consumer par excellence;
A glorious mediocre;
A running horse without a horse race. My every step is random.
My desires are insatiable and infinite. I'm extraordinarily talented for changing colours in few seconds that a dramatist would feel insecure.
I'm a practical man, you know. What about you?

I'm not a dreamer.
I'm not a traveller.
I like to consume un-relentlessly;
Even if nothing remains to consume at last.
After all, I love my role as a consumer, which I have not even chosen.
The Market, a divine powerhouse, has chosen me suitable for this role only.

Online markets are my sacred places, which provide me immense simulative pleasures.
The web-series ensure a seamless continuity of consuming times.
Isn't it a foolish act to remain silent. Silence is quite depressing and repressing.
I'm a practical man, you know. What about you?

Meeting Justice Rohinton Nariman in a Sunday Morning

Aristotle once wrote in his Nicomachean Ethics that there are four significant virtues for human beings, namely Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Courage. There are a few judges who have courage and sense of justice, both. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rohinton Nariman has been truly an exemplar judge and erudite historian, theologian and philologist, a great scholar of music as well as a courageous and meticulous jurist of our country. He did his Master of Laws from Harvard Law School in 1980-81 and taught by one of the finest jurists of the last century, Roberto Unger. He became Senior Advocate in 1993 in the age of 37 and also served as Solicitor General of India in 2011 before he was elevated as a judge of the Supreme Court of India in 2014. He delivered many landmark judgments, including Shreya Singhal v. Union of India. There are a few people with whom time moves too fast, but to count that experience takes ages. Justice Rohinton Nariman is one of those great jurists with whom a meet...

The Rhythm of Law: A Book Review

Book Cover of the Book Law is the subject and object of curiosity since the ancient civilizations started its journey of contemplation about the order within the nature; its mysterious paths inspired the germination of metaphysics. Initially, human's mode of existence lived as instinctual life as per the call of nature. Instincts were primarily used as a medium for survival and to receive the call of wisdom from the “order of nature”. Humans are primarily one of the modes of expression of the nature, as Spinoza calls it attributes which express the essence of God and modes which are derived from the essence of God or nature (Spinoza, Ethics). The doorway of all the laws, as brooding presence of harmony, may be received if one is alert to recognize its call. Prof. Raman Mittal has penned a beautiful book titled “The Rhythm of Law”. The uniqueness of the book is its potentialities to express the inexpressible wisdom. Martin Heidegger in his Magnum Opus, Being and Time, expresses the ...

Violence of Law and Ethics of Care

The worldliness of world is constituted by care (Martin Heidegger). Only in our concernfull dealing with the things around, the existence of being may be understood. In our everydayness of care and concern the world appears to our consciousness. Care is the language, a nomos of our existence, yet it is hardly perceptible in a world of law, which was rightly defined by Hans Kelsen and Max Weber as “legitimate use of violence”. The monopoly of political state over the violent nature of law makes it the most elevated institutions in relation to various social orders co-existing with the political state. Politics, once conceived as “an art of possibilities” by Harold Laski, is now becoming merely a language of allegations, counter-allegations, trickery and manipulation, in one statement, it symbolizes the archetypical character of violence whose expression is apparent in the existence of law. Violence has become our mode of existence in a sense that it speaks through us when the humanity f...
