हर लाश चलनी चाहिए...मेरे सिने में ना सही तेरे सिने में सही आग लेकिन जलनी चाहिए

जैनेन्द्र के लिखे हुए ये शब्द मरना मुशकिल कर देते हैं - परिवार,समाज ,देश, दूर की बात लगती है , मेरा अंतर्द्वंद ही मुझे खोकला कर रहा है । सही ग़लत का भेद मिट सा गया है -सोच की सीमाएं लाँघ दी है मेरे मन ने -अब ये सवाल नही रहा हम क्यों जीते हैं -सवाल है कब तक जीयेंगे -हम मर क्यों नही जाते ?

My first posting on the blog...written after much debating with myself..should I, should I not?
Do I have anythin worthwhile at all to say?
But then Kavi's post urged me to write, when she spoke about the angst to search, to find, something resonated inside me and spontaneously replied.
I asked myself, why the search? And then being located as I am in a Women's studies Centre, constantly reading histories of struggles, triumphs, negotiations, I ask myself who do I not feel the energy for change, for transformation that the previous generation felt, why can I not be more like the generation of the 70s? While the answers for our restlessness might lie within, I wonder if it also is a result of the breakdown in movements for social change that we see today? and then is the development sector the answer for this lack of social dynamism?
