Since then it has been a pet subject of mine. <BR/>"sufi" is definitely "in" today. But i like to think that my preoccupation is with the place and people rather than sufism itself.Mandakinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731503365372567981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27177194.post-1148124533271195202006-05-20T04:28:00.000-07:002006-05-20T04:28:00.000-07:00Well written, and with empathy and feeling.Sufi, h...Well written, and with empathy and feeling.<BR/><BR/>Sufi, however, is a buzzword today - the 'with it' stuff for the people who stay 'without'ARUN GUPTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135742567853853051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27177194.post-1148097234043747602006-05-19T20:53:00.000-07:002006-05-19T20:53:00.000-07:00Hi,The irony of the comment "soul-less"city agains...Hi,<BR/>The irony of the comment "soul-less"<BR/>city against your description in a few decades of words capturing a moment that repeats itself as periodically as the gears in the clock of ghanta ghar is certainly commendable. I am really impressed by the imagery even though they are the cliches of our daily lives in India. What would be interesting is to not see all of it for once with the knowledge of the mindset and the culture but rather with the excitement from the eyes of a child or that insolent "foriegner". And also todiscover with ignorance as to what makes things work the way they are right now... Hence no biases, no prejudices and perhaps immense freshness in the though process. Keep writing. <BR/>rajatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27177194.post-1148097173191426122006-05-19T20:52:00.000-07:002006-05-19T20:52:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
