In His Name, the Most High
I consider myself an apprentice in the craft of social sciences and humanities. A rational craft that I wish to tie in with the pursuits of heart as a seeker in search of the Essence of reality.
The purpose of this blog is to organize some thoughts and to develop a constructive dialogue with the readers. ‘Meditations,’ because it allows a break from the routine and provides a space to reflect. Also because it brings together elements of imagination, knowledge, perceptions, and reflections. And none of these ingredients has to be original or conclusive everytime. The outcome of these meditations may strike you as interesting, thought provoking, mere fiction, or simply absurd. I leave that on you! ‘Sporadic,’ because these meditations won’t be very frequent. I will use caps in the title and ‘meditations’ in the tags of those entries for easy reference. A few of these meditations are from my entries on other web forums.
Other posts on this blog will be an assortment of quick thoughts, news items, prose and poetry from my readings and observations on issues intersecting culture, religion, social relationships, youth, gender, sunni-shia, and the Khoja/Shia community in Karachi and elsewhere. I will also include material relating to the broader intellectual, cultural, and social context that may have direct or indirect relevance to my focus. On average, I hope to add one post each week.
I sincerely wish and pray for this blog to become a constructive dialogue with other members of the community that are also interested in these issues.
