Taking stock: In the last Two Years
http://anandtakingstock.blogspot.com/2012/10/in-last-two-years.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. In the last Two Years. 1 I have survived. 2 I have watched economic theory in motion. It has filled me with much exhilaration. I have witnessed the birth of an idea. I remember feeling privileged just being there. I have felt lonely in the crowds yet I have found solace in the solitude. I have enjoyed anonymity. I have realized that Google has somehow found me! I have found out that the fast and the slow trains are not materially different. I have, somehow, not given up. This is...

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. E.L. Doctorow. Water water everywhere.not a drop to drink. July 13, 2010. Seas of silence,. And stones that don’t stir. Ice in my nails,. And dreams that don’t purr. He goes to the sea side,. But doesn’t wet his feet. He puts not his fingers in the froth. But a few shells he does cheat. The sun yellows it out. Through my window grey. It roughs out the light. But doesn’t deaden the crawling day. He talks of love,. He mumbles passion divine,. The colo...

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. E.L. Doctorow. The Women Reservation Debate…. March 9, 2010. In the age of aggressive feminism and equality, why are we still debating about the reservation issue? A tweet on Womens’ day read– Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 pm over Women’s Reservation Bill isn’t it ironic, this on Women’s day? And this got me thinking- so what’s the big deal about it? So what is it about the women issue that has got everyone talking? I’m not so sure. Lets see how fair...

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. E.L. Doctorow. The color of Wheels…A story. April 15, 2010. He loved to sit on the low, rusty grill on the outskirts of the airport, his eyes fixed on the sky. He watched the big, growling aircrafts descend to the ground. Their wheels coming out and their nose facing downwards. He watched them all day long. No body stopped beyond one landing. And in that temporality, lay his triumph. The wheels were all black. He often looked back to the day, when h...

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. E.L. Doctorow. More Than Words…. March 5, 2010. Some journeys have convinced me that it is not always possible to restore one’s boundaries after they have been blurred and made permeable by a relationship: try as we might, we cannot reconstitute ourselves as the autonomous beings we previously imagined ourselves to be. Something of us is now outside and something of the outside is now within us. Mohsin Hamid, in The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Segment...

http://anandtakingstock.blogspot.com/2012/06/dude-they-pay-more-on-fuel-than-we-do.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Dude, they pay more on Fuel than we do! Read the papers and you get a sense that Indians pay one of the highest taxes on fuel. And, when the petrol prices are raised, there is much hue and cry. The general line of arguments being:. 1 The government should reduce taxes on fuel. 2 The government should not increase petrol prices as it will hurt the poor. 3 Rise in petrol prices will lead to inflation. On the flip side, de-controlled petrol prices have a number of benefits:. 2 Sinc...
