Life hinges on repetitiveness

True but after all, if we evaluate most of the things in life (for that matter life itself ) are repetitive. 

Some of the repetitive things are inevitable and important like eating, sleeping and shifting; some are what we like to be repeated like having a coffee instead of milk in the morning, curd rice instead of mutton biriyani or vice versa; some are the result of the socio-cultural milieu like you wake up to hear a suprabhatam or azan; like everyone playing cricket in some countries and in some football etc. 

Life hinges on repetitiveness predominantly starting from breathing in and breathing out. 

This hinge opens at intervals to allow creativity, imagination, dreams, disruptions, disasters, extreme deviations etc to effect changes either as improved additions to repetitions or removing the chaff of repetitions

We go back often to Mukesh or Madurai Mani or GNB out of love for repeated experience. 

But then whether the sun will rise in the East depends on which planet you are in your dreams tomorrow morning.

 Heard Annamalai gave a nice speech at Litfest. Now, in India Litfests too have become two teams extreme Left and ultra Right. Not correct for the society's intellectual health.

Extremism

Extremism has to be sanitised with sanity and sense of balance or else extremism will exterminate sanity, sense and humanity will miss balance.

The scourge of Identity and Extremism

                                    The scourge of Identity and Extremism

Fondness, Ferventness, Faith and Fanaticism are the multiple frequencies of the spectrum of affinity- ranging from subtle to substantial impact.

These frequencies are not mere verbal nuances but can be nice or nasty depending on how they manifest the intensity of one’s reverence and reaction to anything.

If we adopt the armor of sense of balance and the tool of refined rationality devoid of any identity based reaction to anything, though this may sound very idealistic or even utopian, then, it serves to provide a level playing field for all individuals irrespective of any identity.

Rational approaches refine what is otherwise viewed as contrasts that divide into variations that seek synergy.

Life is impregnated with the inevitable polarity principle in many aspects and identities are no exception.

Identities of all hues while they enable creating social groups at the same time enfeeble options for universal acceptance.

I have very often held that identity, though inevitable, excessive and exclusive veneration is at the heart of many problems be it in the realm of religion, region, language, tradition, culture, nationhood and so on.

In a sense identities symbolize fences.

We need maps to know the planet but we need to protect the planet beyond mapped concerns.

I have written reams and reams on this theme of ‘Identity’ while writing on various subjects.

I shall give links to some here.
