The Burial of the Dead
April is the cruelest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. –The Waste Land by TS Eliot
Such are the Wazes of the world! a CIU to investigate from far and NIA – Lord have Mercedes on us. Send us machines – to count our blessings! –Deepak Manchanda 5 April 2021
Often one thinks of taking inventory and too often in terms of the financial year the hopes of a new beginning. The need to speak, to cry to be heard loudest.
So fortunate over the past 13 months quarreling about the GDP. And how our industry escaped, hoping some of the good luck rubs off on us, even as we bury our heads tone-deaf.
The second wave rumbling in darkness, luck is running out. Humility in the face of nature, the feverish Ganges, Our foolishness secret by the unmourning water. After the first death, there is no other. – Naresh Khanna editor@ippgroup.in
