I am not only back on the blog, but also in a new avatar. I handed over charge of my post as Director of an Institute to my colleague of 15 years. I felt mighty happy that I could disengage myself from a seat of power without anyone asking me to step out or down. A lot of tension has gone out of my mind. I am free to think of what I need to do. Of course, my organisation has asked me to handle a new project about which I am not at all enthusiastic. It is in a mess. There is no clear policy regarding finance. There is no one taking responsibility for the policy. In a way, it is an opportunity. The only thing is at my age I am not enamoured of such opportunities. I am experiencing greater peace of mind and equanimity. In the meantime I put out the translation on my blog muktabai.blogspot.com/

I do hope somebody reads it and gives comments on it. I am looking forward to it. It was a sufi saint, glory be to his memory, who asked me to read these verses in Marathi. Perhaps he could hear the storms raging in my heart. It is after 18 years of that suggestion and repeated readings that I finally translated them.
