Fasting in monsoon
It was strange coincidence that Gandhian Anna Hazare chose the medium of fast in the months of monsoon for his anti-corruption crusade. While his anti-corruption movement captured popular imagination, it was difficult not to focus on the timing of the agitation — Chaturmasa.
Are you really free?
I am inspired to explore ideas of freedom in this month of freedom — go deeper, from the external into the internal realm, from the metaphorical-philosophical to the practical relevance of the idea of freedom in our average daily lives.
We appreciate the popularly aspired idea of “born free” where every individual deserves to be born to freedom defined in terms of common parameters like equal and just economic, health and political opportunities.
