Nature has so designed us that we

are compelled to spend at least eight hours out of twenty-four with

eyes shut in sleep or in an attempt

to sleep. It is compensatory

arrangement, perhaps, for the

strain the visual faculty undergoes

during our waking hours, owing tothe glut of images impinging upon

it morning till night. One who

seeks serenity should, I suppose,

voluntarily restrict one's range of

vision. For it is mostly through the

eye that the mind is strained or disturbed. Man sees more than

what is necessary or good for him.

If one does not control one's

vision, nature will do it for one

sooner or later.



The branch of a Margosa tree provided

shade and shook down on his head tiny

whitish-yellow flowers all day. ‘Only the

gods in heaven can enjoy the good

fortune of a rain of flowers’, thought the

hippie, observing him from the temple

steps, where he had stationed himself

since the previous evening. No need to

explain who the hippie was, the whole

basis of hippieness being the shedding

of identity and all geographicalassociations. He might be from Berkeley

or Outer Mongolia or anywhere. If you

developed an intractable hirsuteness,

you acquired a successful mask; if you

lived in the open, roasted by the sun all

day, you attained a universal shadetranscending classification or racial

stamps and affording you unquestioned

movement across all frontiers…..

Take a look at Exhibit 1. It is a moment of rare

quality. Three men have reduced themselves to a

Indira Gandhi. One in particular shines through, the

man in dark glasses, with the Gandhi topi . He has

hit the critical mass of sycophancy: one jot more and

he is in danger of dissolving into a puddle of slime.

“Exhibit 2. More than a decade-and-a-half has

passed. But with the stamina and resolve of the

finest long distance runner, the man—topi still in

place—has saved up enough sycophantic energy for

a strong kick down the last stretch. His head is at

P.V. Narasimha Rao’s knees, and Rao is holding

on to his hands to keep him from plummeting to the

ground. “

Exhibit 3. The glasses are no longer opaque, and

the slit eyes visible through them have the casualmenace of an alligator’s. The liquid lower lip for

authoritarian quality of an executioner, condemning

those at his mercy to the electric chair.” ID
