The Cockroach's Evolution: Acquiring a Life Beyond the Insult

The CJP’s journey, however, is no longer confined to the politics of examination failures and youth precarity. Its School Thik Karo campaign has extended the movement’s work towards accountability for basic public-school infrastructure, while its latest mobilisation has turned to electoral accountability. 

‘Himalayasia’: Can a Mountain Range Give South Asia the Identity It Never Had?

Whether or not “Himalayasia” ever catches on as a name, the underlying question it poses is a serious one for a region that houses a quarter of the world’s population, spends tens of billions of dollars a year arming itself against its own neighbors, and still trades more easily with the far side of the globe than across its own borders

If God Resides In The Hearts of Men

Whose name i, often, forget,

There’s Divinity in Silence

In Search of the Soul

Endless, fruitless, journeys
That we oft embark upon,

In The Precincts Of The Mind

In the precincts of the mind,
In the fortress I call mine,

O Demise, Are You Fair?

O Demise, thou art a friend true
When I feel lost and dark blue

Destiny

The capriciousness of destiny
at play I see in every day

Is my Time really mine
Or, is there a paradox there,
