this was very interesting, Samir. ever thought about how people tend to look at things in a conceptual framework. the product of mass education likes to put things in boxes and label them. then they tend to stack them up (if not bury them). the ones who are actually journeying only see realities.

Chalay chalo keh voh manzil abhi nahin aaee…?

Vaisay I think this was also a subtle attempt to tell Faujiz and Fauji-lovers to give it up and stop barking up the wrong tree with their high-growth rates as the panacea for ills. I am thinking and agreeing with this subliminal message.

Nice write-up Samir. Wondering why it was called Jumbish, though.

Great write up. Reminds me of the socialist romanticist literature of 50s and 60s.

samir fayyaz.

Good stuff indeed!

Bus Driver as alter-ego? You covered it well in the last paragraph. Your learning talking back to you?
