Comment on About Me by Kishor

“I feel supressed in Nepal and the energy here is mind blowing.”
These lines really touched me. I identified with your feelings. I don’t know why but I too have same kind of feeling. I like your writing skill.
By the way I’m Kishor and now I’m in Drik India. I’ll probably come to Dhaka for Chobi Mela. Hope to see you there.

Comment on On “Power-Knowledge” by Rastar Panchali

This is an excellent post. You have gone beyond the boundaries required by the assignment. I am very happy that you have applied Foucault’s notion of carceral continuum to this film. Indeed, modern society is a perfect realization of this. As we see, the internet – woven inextricably throughout life – does not liberate us, as many facile pundits portray; rather, it binds us further into a system of identification and entrapment!

BTW: I doubt Mitchell Dean was the reference for Robert Dean…but who knows??

Comment on Nepali Urban Myths by Rastar Panchali

This is a very good post. We also have the “three on a match” myth. There was even a film about it from the 1930s. Numbers are often considered to have magical properties, or lucky/ unlucky. Entire religions are based on this concept (eg Kabbalah).

Excellent analysis on the reality and representation of reality, and its jeopardy to democracy.

I can feel the sweat, heat, smell the staunch air, the mosquitos parading to conquer your every morsel! You will avoid the heat in a few weeks. Nepal is a lot more cooler, as you know. So, little more patiene! Till then, drink lots of water (btw, hot water will make you cooler than cold)!

i did enjoy…i had no expectations and your blogs were a treat. For somone who can’t find anything good to read in this world, it was a ‘filler’ in life to such an extent, that even the oligatory after-lunch nicotine hunt could wait…thanks for bringing some breeze here in Dhaka.
