NOEMA

Here is my first book. Noema - Spaces of Refuge. Some things cannot be put in to
words. This is one of them. I have put together my poems and photographs, a
harmony of my two passions. A window in to each other, and in to me. Some things
cannot

ON GROWING UP WITH GUARDIANS

My understanding of education primarily rests in exploring phenomenological
experiences. What does it mean to reveal the experiential reality of children
and adults? Pedagogy, the way I understand and explore it in the
phenomenological sense, reveals this inner topology that I can view, if I am
patient and listening. Of

LANDSCAPES OF ARAVALLI

One of my goals at Raga and Northstar is to understand our ecology; our
relationship to it and our perception of it. Landscape affects us: the trees,
the plants, the rocks, the crevices, the contours, the undulations, the
textures, the smells, and all the minutiae that fill every corner of

UNTROUBLED GULMOHAR

Riffing on Hesse's master class in succinctness apropos my plight. "Managing an
organisation does not require qualities of stupidity and coarseness, as
conceited intellectuals sometimes think. But it does require wholehearted
delight in extroverted activity, a bent for identifying oneself with outward
goals, and of course also

POINTING THE WAY

At the beginning of the new school year two years ago, I wrote, "And we start
again. Once more. A new school year. So many new walkers joining our caravan and
some choosing another road. I have no destination in mind, because I cannot
choose for anyone. I know

CENTRES OF CONDENSATION

I borrow the phrase "Centres of Condensation" Gaston Bachelard's Poetics of
Space. Our institutions, Northstar and Raga, are thought of as, firstly,
'centres'. Taken in isolation and in the prevalent context, the word 'centre'
has no gravitas, no weight. It is as

EVERYTHING IS NEW AGAIN

What instrumentalism, economic ends and modernity have taken away from the
original conception of school can never be fully comprehended or felt. I meet
parents who are eager to know how much we do in the school: how many subjects,
how many sports games, how many languages, how many activities,

HIS MASTER'S VOICE - STANISLAW LEM

One of the greatest of writers, for me, is Stanislaw Lem. I think that sci-fi
has the most natural affinity to philosophical realm. Lem (and PKD and LeGuin)
seamlessly travel between sci-fi and philosophy. I read Lem's Solaris many years
ago after watching Steven Soderbergh's movie.

HYPERION - DAN SIMMONS

Over the years I have developed a system of reading where I alternate between
philosophy and science-fiction books. At almost any given time, I'd be reading
either one. I find it extremely hard to find a science-fiction author who I
enjoy, primarily in style of prose and sweep

A REALM BEYOND TIME AND CONFLICT

To each child, school is a concept, a memory that is always felt, like a spectre
of foggy remembrance, but seldom analysed. Schools and childhood collide and
intersect; the two being our primal sources of future selves. A good, sustaining
space, our school, must retain that character of gossamer, always
