BEING AND BECOMING

पुरस्कार से पुरस्कृत  तिरस्कार से लज्जित जो जीता वो हारा जो पाया वो खोया जो जमा किया वो धूमिल हुआ जिसे खरीदा वो फिरसे बिक गया जिसे संवारा वो फिरसे बिगड़ गया एक पक्ष कहाँ है? वो अस्तित्व कहाँ है? यहाँ तो सिर्फ बदलाव है।

         Picture's Source: Google Books "War is the politics by other means", wrote Clausewitz. Michel Foucault extended this hypothesis when he suggested "Politics is the war by other means". In these two conjectural statements one fact is common, i.e. politics and war are inseparable. Michel Foucault delivered eleven lectures in 1976 at the College de France, which were published titled "Society must be Defended", reflected upon the nature of war and its role in defining politics and public right. Unconventionally, since he is known for, Michel Foucault examined the motive of the masters of order, such as, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, and their concept of Sovereignty, its limited or unlimited authorities, and connected this theme to the necessity arose in Europe to establish a philosophical/juridical concept of sovereignty instead of historical/political one. Historically, war has been an instrument to establish sovereignty; once the order is establi...

Miseries, confusions, and depression; You will find out many of its merchants; But the one, who dooms in such anguish; But the one, who likes to have it more; Is none other than our own ever-changing fragile mind. What if we appreciate what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen; What if we remain like a child; A passionate yes-sayer; And ready to accept what is; Miseries, confusions, and depression; Are never a guest to reckon with. Our attitude towards the events; Is experience; Our feelings and emotions serve our passions; Which poverty is more harmful; If it's not a 'poverty of mind'? Affirm the passionate cries; Rise above the 'fear of unknown'; And listen our own heart; And mind will be its servant forever.

सपनों से हकीकत तक कल्पनाओं से गढ़ी गई हर एक गाँठ में उसका ही बसेरा रहता है जिसे हम मन कहा करते हैं इसके कल्पनाओं की रस्सी से हमने ना जाने कितने आशियाना बनाए-गिराए उन पुराने पत्थरों के बंजारेपन से आज भी कोई बच्चा आवाज देता है उसे भी जवान होने का शौक था कभी पर वो भूल जाता है शायद कि हर-एक सपने समय के आगोश में बूढ़े हो जाते हैं फिर भला वो पेड़  जिसे कभी हम अपने हाथों से सींचा करते थे और एक समय वो मेरा हमसाया हुआ करता था पर आज की मदमस्त आँधी ने उसे झकझोर के रख दिया है ये सच है कि सपने देखने की हिम्मत होनी चाहिए साकार होने में ज्यादा वक़्त नहीं लगता ये और बात है की जब वो पूरा होता है तब तक सपने देखने वाला ही बदल जाता है

Albert Einstein and Arthur Eddington, two scientists of different nationalities, worked separately but for the sake of truth amidst struggle for claiming the superiority among the nations in the first World War. Two nations, Britain and Germany, were treating each-other like sworn enemies, fighting war without having any cause whatsoever to further the interest of humanity, and in that mad struggle, most of the scientists of both the nations were collaborating in developing the weapons of mass destruction as well as genocide. In that very critical condition, duo worked out diligently and proved sir Isaac Newton's theory of Gravity wrong. Einstein's General theory of relativity was theoretically a masterpiece, though logically correct and imaginatively wonderful, but without proof, no one was ready to accept it, especially, when science was also being visualized as per the national boundaries. In such a testing time, Arthur Eddington, from Cambridge University, went to Africa to...

When I think to write for somebody I no longer remain truthful to the subject I am thinking about. Attentive writing is the most inattentive activity whereas the presence of "me" doesn't affect the flow of sentences or the river of discourses. The structure of discourse takes a direction of its own when the presence of 'I' or 'me' is not felt. When Jacques Derrida was writing Of Grammatology, he felt a power leading the book he was unaware of. Instead of influencing the book, he was flowing like river along with the book, which shaped his consciousness and remained with him a paradigm for his whole journey of intellectual life. Written piece is free from writer, it is always already in interpretation and interpreted again and again with infinite progression or regression. But it is mistake to think that writer knows the objective truth of text. Writer is as much confused about his writing than any other reader. With a conjecture in impression writer tries ...

Life would have been far worst without artists. God or nature, in fact, is the first artist, who has created life and its cacophonous music. Art is nothing but passion to innovate and to see the world through eyes of its own. Is Art possible without immitation? Of course not! Is Art limited to immitation? Answer is again in negative. The primary basis of art is immitation. Its tools are ready at hand. But arts transcend the limitation of mechanics. It doesn't remain repetitive rather breaks the shackles of imitative and repetitive cycle and brings freshness into the perspective to see the world through new eyes. Erich Fromm rightly suggested that being a prisoner of our own ideas is far more slavish "state of being", since the agent remains in hallucination if he or she has his or her own voice or not in expression but in reality his voice is nothing but echoing the sentiments of society (Fromm, Escape from Freedom).  In the Information Age, people are consumers of web-co...
