The only language oppressors understand is the language of oppression. You cannot counter them with kindness. They will only bow down to someone more powerful than them.

ये देश हमसे बहुत बड़ा है

इसे रखवालों की नहीं
घरवालों की ज़रूरत है

It happens when you least expect it.
It happens only once.
Love is hard work.

Guess the lie.

"What is the fear of orange called?"
"Why to fear a fruit?"
"It's all bitter once you peel it."
"Peel it first. What if it's sweet?"
"It's bitter. I tasted it already."
"When?"
"In 1992, and then, in 2002."
"This time, it's different."
"How?"
"It's a new season. There is a lot more orange this time. Don't you see it everywhere, don't you see everyone so happy with it? It's different, as I said."
"It's the same tree."

I fell for birds over wildlife, despite my deep fondness for elephants since childhood, because of their sheer omnipresence and variety. The surprise of finding different species, their myriad habits (and habitats) and their range of songs is just too wide to not stop and take notice. Most importantly, while wildlife is barricaded within boundaries of a national park or sanctuary, birds can be found anywhere and everywhere. I don't have to plan a trip to Ranthambore or Gir to notice them. I can find them sitting on my window sill, or a tree outside.

Birds are not just free in spirit but also free in their beings. They can take off and be anywhere any time. It resonates with the kind of free being I wish to be, not just a free soul within the barricades of the society like most of us, bound by jobs and lifestyles, are.

Nothing remains a blur when I walk.

"I have come to India some thirty times," says an Italian tourist I met in Goa.

"I haven't come to India so many times," I reply.

Walking is so relaxing. One's needs become so primal, they boil down to basics: water, shade, taking care of pain, food and sleep. All the other stresses of our lives take a backseat. I couldn't think of any work related botheration during my walk, no matter how much I tried. You live and wish for just the bare necessity. Sitting becomes prized, kindness of strangers becomes paramount.
