Nature's metaphor


In nature, even the fiercest lion bows to the law of survival. An eagle seizes a cub, yet the lion doesn’t despair — it runs, it leaps, it fights, because saving one’s dear ones is not just instinct, it’s the right to live.

But when we shift from jungle to human society, the story changes. We forget that every person, every being, deserves the same dignity — the right to survive, the right to protect, the right to simply exist without fear. Instead, we wrap these struggles in fancy words: “development,” “strategy,” or “geopolitics.”

Nature shows us clarity. Humans blur it with excuses. The lion teaches us persistence, the eagle teaches us opportunity, but we must also learn the most important lesson: to recognize the rights and dignity of our fellow beings. Without it, we remain more divided than the jungle itself.



Philosophical angle: opportunity!
Correct angle : It's the right to save the dear ones, the right to live..

We see the same in our daily lives in various forms, still humans won't accept the dignity of fellow beings!!

Tail end: politicians say it's geo politics!!

The lost history - Bahrain as an expatriate

  It was December 31st, 2011, when I first landed in Bahrain. A winter season, in a time zone I had never experienced before. I was surprised to see the afternoon prayer begin at 11 a.m.! That small shift in time left me totally confused. Everything felt unfamiliar – the climate, the people, even the sky looked different. A person from the company was assigned to pick me up at the airport. He arrived on time, and we had a warm conversation on the way. Thankfully, we got acquainted quickly, which gave me a bit of comfort in an otherwise strange land. The company provided me with a temporary room. The next day was a holiday – New Year’s Day – so I had a full day to experience this new place. Another colleague, Balaji, had also just arrived from another state in India. We became friends instantly. That New Year’s Eve and January 1st of 2012, we spent together – walking around, searching for a decent restaurant, and finally enjoying Indian food that gave us a taste of home. Th...

Bucketlist

So after a few weeks in Delhi, I thought of traveling across the nearby states. The reason was the inmates who prompted it — a night walk with Mubashir inspired me a lot. Then the stories here and there by the Gulmohar family members created such a bucket list. So the planned states now changed to a “Delhi-first” approach. Started with the Taj Mahal with Suhail and Raashid, then ended up with Fawas to listen to Qawwali and visit the universities — Jamia, DU, and JNU — at least once. So I created the calendar; Qawwali was the first one, and yes, we did it. On Jamia Foundation Day, we visited the campus, listened to Shayari, and then moved to Nizamuddin Dargah. It was a different experience. How people see the place, what diverse cultures expect from such a dargah and Qawwali — many questions, excitement, and still wonders. Certain Qabars were well maintained, some were not. Mehfy(?) said the Qabar was of the first Sultana, Razia. We got upset that it wasn’t cleaned or maintained prop...
