> Had a chat with a few colleagues and friends this evening. The chat was intended towards finding an arrangement for a business proposition, but before that it was focused towards looking at the emotional tonality lying around. What came about were the past hurts, reactivity and mistrust that were lying around, willingness to bring in some clarity about the way forward and some new resolutions. This process evoked many things in me …. some relief, some clarity, some resolution, some understanding of where others are located in their mind, and some emotional turmoil with a certain intensity. I chose to not engage in an emotional drama but to engage with the process of clarifying and understanding what was happening and what issue belongs to who or to what context. I also acknowledged that while I had a greater intellectual clarity, I have to let the emotional turmoil take its time to settle down, and find a new level of balance

>What is your idea of peace for yourself?
> This question is not about the macro context, of what is happening in the wider context, in the community, in the country or in the world. This question is asked more from a fantasized dreamy personal point of view, i.e. when we think of peacefulness for ourselves, what is the idea, thought, imagery, visual for ourselves? for me, peacefulness for myself brings up imagery of water, shades, trees, nature, quietude, alone amidst modest facilities or infrastructure. lots of sky around, sound of water but not with a sea in front. place would have red flooring, old styles, may be tiled roof, coconut trees, (sounds like Kerala, na?) – cool breeze, birds chirping around, play of sun and shadow. what is or are your dreamy peace visuals?
