Dealing with Mental block
Misery! That is what a mental block is. And it always has to hit you when you are seeking only clarity. The last week was maddening. Just could not get my head around a boring and nerve wracking report, the bane of our modern day lives. As a result of which, had endless sleepless nights. Went tizzy on a cooking spree - it sometimes helps unlock those dark dungeons we so fear. As a result ate heartily and felt even more depressed with the consequent weight gain! Life is never easy. :)
While all this was going on the Delhi election results were announced. So,now Delhi has an elected Government which has come with this landslide mandate and now we have only one party at the Vidhan Sabha as well.As if it was not enough to have one party at Lok Sabha. The democracy is going through some mental block of its own it seems. I have company indeed in the most ridiculous of ways.
Finally the ominous spell was broken by a panel discussion and a good friends' day long visit to saddi Dilli! Attended an interesting session on the identities and the role of media is defining Indian Muslims vs Muslim Indians. Young journalists and media persons had quite an interesting take on it and it cheered me to no end to see finally free speech was making its presence felt. I am hopeful, that the new Indian identity will have no place for religion. I see capitalism being the only leveler here and probably the only upside to "consumerism". Deep pockets seems like to reach where no man has gone before. Something has to give, right? May be this is it, who knows?
But ultimately on that note the dark spell was broken, which neither Hobbit nor Ian McEwan could break with his Enduring Love this hopeful idea could trigger and I could command the grey cells to obey. The formidable week passed and I am a whole new person. Phew! What a relief !
On that note wish ye all a great week ahead!
