Books give meaning to life. But the hand is the cutting edge of the mind. So books alone are not the be all and end all of life. One needs to also take action based on your thoughts.

    I am the Moon everywhere and nowhere.
    Do not seek me outside;
    I abide in your very life.
    Everybody calls you towards himself;
    I invite you nowhere except to yourself.
    Poetry is like the boat and its meaning is like the sea:
    Come onboard at once!
    Let me sail this boat!

    what do you find bizarre about his thoughts? it seems that you are a person with inclusive thinking. so i am going to keep my dalit perspective aside while discussing with you(i sometimes become dalit rhetoric while talking to castist creeps) .

    the author sure has totally different notions than that of anybody else which make us feel them as unacceptable.

    that was my review of Dalit Phobia.
    Dalit Diary are insightful articles written in Pioneer daily by the author and are good read.

    hi, last month you enquired about Dalit Diary but i hadn't logged for a long time; hence replying now.
    the book is deserves 2.5/5 rating.
    reason: the author lacks objectivity. he is being sarcastic. but he has published interaction between Gandhiji and Dr. Ambedkar and few other rare material which is worth reading. For the 1st time, somebody has published a whole speech of Macaulay on Indian Educational system. This speech shows how modern Indian Education experts manipulate India by selective approach towards Macaulay. I loved reading Macaulay's opinion and interaction between Bapu and Baba.

    Dear Sushil, thanks for dropping by my page. In fact, the words that I left as a message on whom you left your comments are Faiz' words, his poem. I like it a lot as a romantic expression, so I posted it on shelfari. And if Faiz were alive he could be in better position to answer your question; however, I would just say that the moon is the only heavenly body known to man that is on the one hand the beautiful most because of our experience of the same, and on the other accessible as well; if the poet had chosen earth, he would have problem applying the same purity and beauty on it while trying to depict an imagery of some pristine heavenly body coupled with beauty and accessible and simultaneously inaccessible for the poet. It could serve a better purpose for the poet, I think. What do you say?
