What you do ?

-
Your illusory expressions 
draw me hither and thither 
Attempting redemption
I fall into misery's chasm

Your charms rouse 
the flames of fire
only to be doused by
thy unreasoned anger 

Enigma of the wildest kind
Your yes and no are masked by 
unfathomable fuzziness 
And I tremble in fear

Frozen by love's fury
Incapable of action 
I stand gasping 
forever forlorn!  !

The one on the south overlooked the sewer flowing in sombre silence,and also offered a view of  roofs housing other lives. A being named I  inhabited the Room's space riding the wheels of time in  aimless madness. On many early mornings when sleep still  eluded the weary eyes,  a name-less bird called to say, ' yet another day was born' and woke up the day to life.

In  late afternoons, as the sun began its descent, through the spaces between fluttering  leaves streaming rays fell on the floor in quivering patterns of light patches modulated by the leaves dancing to the afternoon winds. When the  heat seared t...

How Children Learn: Reading John Holt

Once,  in an attempt to  allow children to give space to children’s questions, I told to ask whatever questions they have in mind. I was bombarded with  a number of  questions and one that stands out in my mind: If humans came from monkeys, why haven’t all monkeys changed to humans? A simple question on evolution, it may seem, but it is the manifestation of the children’s natural willingness to learn. When we studied electricity, students brought the igniting part of the gas-stove lighter which on pressing could light up a small LED bulb; I had thought for years, that the lighter used friction to generate spark, and it was a revelation to see that it was electricity that generated spark.  They not only build boats and rockets using  paper but  create d  a myriad of shapes and structures using paper.  This spirit of enquiry and exploration – using the body and mind – forms an essential part of the learning process and is naturally p...
