  • The Consciousness of Dead Societies

    “Sakoon sirf qabar main hai.” Nope. No peace in grave or graveyard either. The young girl who died three days back in Gujrat, couldn’t find peace there either. She was abducted from her grave, raped and left naked. The dead was robbed by the ones who lived. ————— Part I ————— How to blame the…

  • Eid Greetings

    Breathe without air. Beat without blood. Feel without pain. Hear without sound. Cry without tears. Happy Eid!But who has it happy?

This is too good for Netflix. You don’t even need a subscription. It’s free. Choose a side and enjoy. Every…

  • The Coward and His Cult

    “Did I ever break the law?“, he roared. “No!!!” the crowd shouted in reply… and the whole city was submerged under a dense smog of dumbness. “Yes, you did.

  • Thank you Chief!

    Those who believed “missing people” is a hoax, were protesting with posters of Vigo last night. Those who said “PTM is against the state”, were against the state like PTM yesterday. Those who used to say “must have done something”, were tweeting “what have they done?” this weekend. Those who believed elections were “free and…

  • Walli – In the Name of M. (Part-III)

    Walli’s timeline of resurrections is as smooth as a tragedy. A tragedy that lives inside a being forever. Remember that story of Musa asking the shepherd to pray properly as directed by God and not commit blasphemy? The shepherd stopped talking and loving God the way he did. He adopted Musa’s directions of praying as…
