Routine

Routine is what one escapes to, once the wandering is done and dusted.

Fear of freedom

Fear of freedom is the source of all anxiety; we are afraid to just be, like a sail-less boat at sea.

Bad behaviour

Anyone is capable of bad behaviour, given the bait; but one should just wait before jumping the gate.

Rough cuts

Rough cuts hold a promise that is rarely fulfilled; the last mile is usually the worst mile. But it need not be so.

Growth

Growth should ideally be a horizontal metaphor, except in the case of girth.

Rock bottom

Rock bottom is a rock solid place for new beginnings.

Of 'culture' and other stuff

What we consume as accepted 'culture' may be quite unacceptable in its origins; the dominant narrative of any society is imagined by the powerful and not necessarily the pious.

Authority of a teacher

The authority of a teacher derives from what is freely given; anything free comes with a price tag.
