Dr. Ambedkar’s “Grammar of Anarchy”: A Constitutional Warning That Echoes Today
On this 79th Independence Day, Iโve been reflecting on Dr. B.R. Ambedkarโs "Grammar of Anarchy" speech. He asked us to abandon "unconstitutional methods," cautioned against the dangers of "hero-worship," and pointed out the profound "contradictions" of a nation with political equality but deep social inequality.
Beyond the AI Hype: Why Human Oversight Remains Non-Negotiable
While researching a topic recently, a GenAI tool presented several relevant statistics. I asked it to fact-check the numbers and cite sources. With a confidence that might inspire envy, it assured me they were all correct, even providing citations with a precision rivaling scientific journals. Except it was confidently wrong.

Beyond Propaganda: Defending Art for Artโs Own Sake
I probe into the thin line that separates art from propaganda. Think about it: Why do some films from the past, like Salim-Javed's classics, still resonate while others, with their overt messages, fall flat?

Finding Purpose Beyond Work
โWhat do you do?โ How many of us simply announce our profession in response to this question? Work is so central to our identity in the world today that this seems natural. If you identify yourself closely with your work, thatโs great. But, for many people, work is simply a means to pay their bills.... Continue Reading →
Art vs Artist
Years ago, I finally met a writer I only knew by his works. His writing oozed satire, irreverence, and iconoclasm. His personality reflected warmth, kindness, and thoughtfulness. The contrast between his writing and social self couldnโt have been sharper. In his magnum opus, โThe Story of Philosophyโ, Will Durant chronicles the lives of philosophers alongside...
