"Forgetting is Good for You"

SOMETIMES it is enough to open a metal can of ground coffee to make it happen. In a split second a touch of smell transports you to a place where you have neither been nor have not been (thanks to a speed of multiple teleportation, none of your eye-lashes will fall down). A weird feeling where a taste of dreams-never-realised, completely forgotten, but suddenly reanimated gets back on the menu in all its crisp vagueness.

“A dream remembered or a dream realised?” asks a waiter in white chiffon. “A la carte,” you answer, “Something anachronistic, but with lots of olive oil, please. And don’t forget a bit of something.” “Don’t worry,” his smile disappears behind his words, “I never forget.” “Forgetting is good for you,” I say “It could be a force leading to revolution. And revolution is a lovely word, no?”

Newbie vs. Freebies

The most dramatic recent news from the Jan Suraaj Party is that Prashant Kishor will not be contesting these elections, against Tejashwi Yadav from Raghopur. He has said the reason is he doesn't want to focus only on his constituency, but spend time on all others.
