Lull before the storm

I am going to go into sleep mode... no more blogging till the end of July... will be appearing for my GRE and I am horribly short of time. I have, therefore, got to go into sleep mode. That will include my not visiting other blogs as well. So everybody who has ever commented on my blog, or is going to... you'll have to wait, friends. And wish me luck!!

  2. Hi Sudipta:

    Saw your comment a little late on my blog. Problem is with the permalink which does not permit Yaccs commenting which is now my default commenting system but for that one would have to go to my main site. I fixed this so that I get notified is people leave Blogger comments. So, next time your comment will not be missed :-)

It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when ...

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autoc...
