Pakistan Is ... - New York Times (Dec 06 2003 18:00 GMT) - "Pakistan is a great hub of duplicity, and the maulana was just one of the many chameleon characters who seemed able to operate at both its center and fringe, something like the nation itself, which is one of America's essential allies in the war against terrorism and also one of terrorism's essential incubators in its war against the West. Each time I visit the country, I hope for some blossom of understanding but return with the wilt of confusion. This is a nation of confounding murkiness."A long piece, highly recommended! It will bring you upto speed on the current-day Pakistan. |

The myth of Indra's Net: "Far away in... (Dec 06 2003 18:00 GMT) - The myth of Indra's Net: "Far away in the heavenly abode of the great god Indra, there is a wonderful net which has been hung by some cunning artificer in such a manner that it stretches out indefinitely in all directions. In accordance with the extravagant tastes of deities, the artificer has hung a single glittering jewel at the net's every node, and since the net itself is infinite in dimension, the jewels are infinite in number. There hang the jewels, glittering like stars of the first magnitude, a wonderful sight to behold. If we now arbitrarily select one of these jewels for inspection and look closely at it, we will discover that in its polished surface there are reflected all the other jewels in the net, infinite in number. |

It's the longest Upsideclown I've... (Dec 06 2003 18:00 GMT) - It's the longest Upsideclown I've written, as yet, and it's also late. And like a few of my recent ones I wish I was a decent enough writer to give it a plot, characters and an arc up to ten thousand words or so. It feels too much like notes still, with not enough exploration of the consequences (human and otherwise) and lacking in the potential connections and necessary explanation. Oh well. It does mean that the piece is pretty dense with some of the things that have been going through my head the last few days (possibly this is good): |
