Think Beyond IIC.

Delhi is an exalted super municipal corporation. This amount of media coverage was not found even for a major state like Odisha. We need to re centre Delhi in our national conversation. #AAP is an one state party at best, too much hype. It can’t even win MCD and a single Lok Sabha Seat for all the work. There are parties like YSR congress with 25 Lok Sabha seats, DMK with 30 plus, TMC with 18 and i am not even mentioning JDU which is a NDA ally.

Let’s get real about India. By the way, let’s cover Bharat from Puri and Varanasi once, although I know IIC has good rangeela and Bloody Mary cocktails.

The Liberal Cartel.

With the many calls to strip me off the liberal tag, I would encourage the liberal elite to create a certification program as project management professionals have, as a globally certified liberal which will be a even more reason for more Brexits and Bolsanaro’s. The real economics is not run in seminar halls, but in boardrooms and no amount of articulate criticism can dislodge that understanding.

Thinking on Writing.

I had a deep guilt regarding writing and my intellectual interests in policy and history as I am trained in engineering, which I work as a consultant. I see no dichotomy in both the areas as both are my cognitive feet, giving me balance, and configuring the person I am. As in Latour’s Actor Network Theory, the living and the non living are connected with the same potency. I grew up where my humanities educator parents were hugely suspicious of my interests as they wanted me to secure my financial future. I am fortunate to have trained in engineering and ethnography and both devices sync seamlessly in a networked narrative. I write from life, and is infected with a bias for systematic view with the eye for emotion. In my next life, hopefully I can study writing as well! I write therefore I exist.
