Before the world was, there was no sky, no sea, no dust beneath the feet. No east, no west. No up, no down. No sun, no shadow. No stars to guide the wandering eye. There was no time to move things forward. No space to stretch them apart. No gravity to hold, no light to

I once wrote an article on silence. Many friends responded warmly—some with reflections, others with questions. One friend opened up about his frustration with his adult children. Though they are all married and living their own lives, they often come to him with their problems. “They never listen,” he told me. “If they had, they

By Maq Masi The arrival of the Indo-Aryans in Gujarat around 1800–1500 BCE, roughly 3,800–3,500 years ago, marked a significant turning point in the region’s history, reshaping its cultural, linguistic, and social landscape, as documented in the Gazetteer of Baroda, Vol. 1 (1923) (Desai, 1923, p. 152).

Stand in the shadow of Rome’s Colosseum, its stones heavy with the memory of emperors, or turn the pages of Marx’s Communist Manifesto, its words still burning with revolutionary fire.
