New Beginings ; एक नई शुरुआत


हमारा उद्देश्य -

गणेश शंकर विद्यार्थी  पत्रकार के रूप में अपने कर्तव्य के बारे में लिखते है : "हम अपने देश और समाज की सेवा के पवित्र काम का भार अपने ऊपर लेते हैं. हम अपने भाइयों और बहनों को उनके कर्तव्य और अधिकार समझाने का यथाशक्ति प्रयत्न करेंगे. राजा और प्रजा में, एक जाति और दूसरी जाति में, एक संस्था और दूसरी संस्था में बैर और विरोध, अशांति और असंतोष न होने देना हम अपना परम कर्तव्य समझेंगे." उन्हे अपना प्रेरणा स्रोत मानकर हम अपने कार्य के प्रति अपने समर्पण की कोशिश करेंगे तथा इस ब्लॉग के माध्यम से अपने समय के इतिहास को चित्रित करते हुए अपने वक्त के सवाल उठाएंगे।

'When facts change I change my mind", हम इसी आधार पर अपना कार्य करेंगे और एक सार्थक बहस का विकल्प बनने के प्रयत्न करेंगे।

Our Objective -

Since the day civilisation began, People knew there lies a subtle distinction between living & surviving. Life bereft of Hope & Love is mere banal survival. The entire aim of this Blog is to espouse that very love of life through Literature, culture, fine arts while acknowledging the dark times we are living in. 

To paraphrase words of a much beloved poet, "My poetry is not an exordium of defeat or a hopeless retreat, but the dying soldier's last will to fight, and fight to live".

Thus, The Darkest Rhyme, is the metaphor for the rhyme of hope emerging from our collective conscience in background of pathos of our Dark times.

We wish for nothing else but love and support and suggestions of our readers.

Thank you.

Each man kills the thing he loves!

"Yet each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man does it with a sword!" In his engaging and riveting work, The Merchant of Venice , William Shakespeare through his character Bassanio asks a very chilling question to his readers - "Do all men kill the things they do not love?" Conversely another question that can be asked as well is and more relevant to our time, Do all men kill the things they love as well? At a glance we may be tempted to dismiss it by saying a instinctive No! Afterall, In our times and time immemorial, relations are forged and broken "peacefully" infact some with chauvinistic tinge would say amicably and there has been hardly any violence. But is violence only bloodshed and not intentional mental tickering? Is violence not devouring physical intimacy by decieving vulnerable hearts on pretext of false pro...

Rs. 729 (Hard cover) The much awaited concluding volume of Savarkar series, Savarkar: A Contested Legacy was launched on this July 26. The book unravels the story forward from 1924 where it left the reader in nailbitting curiosity in it's precluding volume, Savarkar: Echoes from forgotten past .  Many commentators after favourably reviewing the first part infact belived that this  upcomming sequel to be most crucial book of Dr. Vikram Sampath's academic career and a litmus test of his scholarship. The book however after being launched and warmly received by readers and academics with much expected enthusiasm was also accompanied by an unfortunate absence of any reviews or critical engagement by any leading magazine or newspaper ( Swarajya Mag being the first to publish a very brief review ...
