The Dogged Walk

I will walk the path forever walked

One step ahead of you

And one step behind

I will choke in the dust of your passing

And skirl more into your face

It all tastes the same

Even when you feign otherwise

But here on the path forever walked

The old will lie itself anew

We can sigh like kings, Like empresses on gift-carts

Resplendent in imagined worth.

I will walk the path forever walked

Though my time is short

As if the stars belong

Cupped here in my hands

Showering out these pleasures

That so sparkle in the sun

When down they drift settling flat

To make this path forever walked

Behind you behind me

Between the step past, the step to come

Look up look up once

Before I am gone

Paradigm shift in blog issues.

Sorry for the rather long hiatus in blog posts. I was locked on the horns of a dilemma, and the relevance of this blog was in question. I seem to have resolved the situation. The new plans for the near future of the blog consists of chronicling my readings and some of my long-term aspirations.

One of the things that I am going to do is to chart the journey of India since independence.The rationale behind this is the fact that I recently read Ramachandra Guha's amazing "India after Gandhi" and I want to share my opinions and understanding with others. The posts may be interspersed with Chinese affairs,in keeping with my ongoing course. I also plan to have some posts which will lay the groundwork for my "magnum opus" ,the fantasy novel that I want to create.(sounds appropriately ambitious)

That's it for now. Keep reading.
