Poems, books, and songs
Collated X posts in original by Tusar Nath Mohapatra
Rituals are part of religion
Backed by mythological fiction
Involve a lot of aesthetics
Plus social support and self-esteem
But they are never voluntary
Are performed under compulsion
What man needs is freedom
Of which he is unaware
Something absolutely new
To take him to himself

Ideologies are umpteen
How to have one for own use
Just what comes by the way
Or through some rational choice
What is rational then
With our limited awareness
Ecosystems and echochambers
Make us a hostage
Man must crave freedom
From falsehood and ignorance
Seek light
Deep inside

Sun sets in the West is science
Sun doesn't set at all is science too
Climbing a hill widens the horizon
But there's a limit
What we know come from many sources
It's also pouring in every moment
Since the evolution is on
And we're its instruments
So let's be aware
Of its footfall

I wrote on a slate as a child
Now I type on a tablet
Undergirded by undersea cables
Once adumbrated by Whitman
Locke's tabula rasa to Emerson's Oversoul
Nietzsche's Overman to Shaw's Superman
Man's mind is captive of AI
But its brain can rot too
Numbers may dream
Causing migraine

All religions are belief
In some ancient mythology
In idols made of stone or metal
And year-round festivals
Personal welfare and security
Drives devotion and loyalty
They can't be questioned
For they are the God's word
All men are mortal, To err is human
Religion cures confusion

Saying We means
Taking a lot of responsibility
Upon oneself
Generalising too much
And misrepresenting
Bordering on falsehood.
Saying I too
Isn't free from hazards
For the private zone
Is cut off from public sphere
Further the inner self
Keeps on reminding
About false subjectivity

What is spirituality
Is it something different from ordinary life
And being lost in meditation for hours together
No, that's an imaginary state of affairs
Sri Aurobindo advises surrender to The Mother
The Mother too tells Remember and Offer
All within daily life in all activities

Asrani passed away
Leaving behind a formidable legacy
Of lighting up the screen with laughter
Whenever he appears in whatever role.
When there was no TV or Internet
Bollywood used to rule our hearts
He scored centuries through 70s and 80s
And continued to act till two years back.
