Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, shade the birds from cold and sorrow.

Streets of Mumbai are lined with trees, as you can see from this picture.

The Nausea is not inside me:
I feel it out there in the wall, in my pans,
and everywhere around me.
It makes itself one with the supari,
I am the one who is within it.
- Bald Panwalla quoting Satirical Sartre.

Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.
Ludwig Wittgenstein

"Philosophy is not a theory but an activity" quoth the young boy outside the aarey PCO booth.

"I sit astride life like a bad rider on a mobike. I only owe it to the gravity's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment." -- Jockwink Wickedsatan.

I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.-- Ludwig Wittgenstein.

Dog checking out the motorcycle wheel. "For a truly dogmatic dog nothing is tragic." -- Bigwig Canine.

If he were to speak, we would not understand him -- Wittgenstien.

"Of what we cannot speak, we must pass over in silence." -- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
