Interdependence

Interdependence on traditions to then look for innovations (and innovations, not due to lack of clarity about traditions! Even a “musically-challenged” person(I am one such!) can have a grasp about what it feels like to be an ‘accomplished musician’ after reading this, and if the article ‘goes though the reader’, not the reader ‘goes through the article’!)

T.M. Krishna's rejoinder…

The rejoinder refers to this article…..

(ANIL SRINIVASAN responds to the article “Between tradition and evolution” by T.M. Krishna, published last week. .)



And the same person quotes the clarity of yet another innovative traditionalist ….

(Carnatic vocalist Aruna Sairam, who received the Isai Perarignar award last week, chats with fellow musician ANIL SRINIVASAN about inspiration, tradition and innovation in music. )


An innovative look at the traditional myth about what constitutes “ a hero “ …..

(He did not write a book, direct a film, stop a riot or save a river. But he combined heroism and spirit to be truly outstanding...)


We reflect by ‘comparisons’ usually. And when even one of those whom we seek to compare happens to be a ‘deep’ person, there is scope for their being ‘misconstrued’ !
There was a question about how we get into the confusion, and why at all?
When a pen and a sword gets compared, there is an interesting interpretation by a surgeon, who says, Surgery is writing with a scalpel in living tissue. There are no rewrites. And second chances? Almost never!”

I tried to look at how to get clarity about it.

I quote below the asker’s question, and my answer.

The question:
Why is it that every time others do things, is a time you reflect on yourself?
Does it always have to trigger like that? Is there only a floating Iman, without direction and strength to understand what you have been given as a mercy and guidance unto thee?So what is going on around you, is more important than what you have going on around for yourself?If you made a life for yourself, why are you bothering looking at what others have? Isn't that the problem there, is that you don't have direction or didn't make a life for yourself yet?What does someone else have to do with me?


My answer:
It is a deep, subtle and strong interdependence that 'drives' us so. The doubt arises only when it comes to evaluating with other human beings. But when it happens to all other life forms (especially that which touches us very obviously), we have no doubts about it. The doubtlessness is not exactly due to clarity, but the entire lack of it mostly(and the assumption of its redundancy too)!
