Via @Alberto63137378, discovered this fascinating little book about the (anti-)political character of Greek tragedy. A short review later this evening in today’s newsletter.

James Joyce didn't just write a book; he built a labyrinth for the mind. Published on his 40th birthday in 1922, Ulysses was initially burned and banned for obscenity. It took a "Deep Dive" into "Stream of Consciousness," proving that the thoughts of an ordinary man (Leopold Bloom) were as epic as the travels of Odysseus. In 2026, do we still have the attention span for a book that requires a map and a dictionary, or has "Short-Form" killed the epic? #Ulysses #Literature #JamesJoyce #Reading

"The Significance Of #SriAurobindoAshram In the Evolution of Humanity" written by Sri #Krishnendu is a painstaking efforts of years by a sadhak who has lived there for over 30 years. It is a meticulous compilation of the material history, spirit & philophy of Auroville, the thoughts of Revered Mother & Sri Aurobindo. A great book for anyone who wishes to understand it its significance. Writing this after almost complete reading.

2/ Claim: "The master plan was designed by the Mother."
Fact: The Master Plan was created by Aurovillians and submitted to the Government in 2000—27 years after the Mother's passing. She provided spiritual vision, not urban planning blueprints.
3/ Ravi alleged "killings, bloodshed, drugs, trafficking and paedophilia" without evidence, documentation, or named sources. This defames an entire community whose work has benefited surrounding villages through education, skilling, and fifty years of ecological restoration.

Bhimmandali mountains, Sambalpur district. ASI excavation underway. Rock-cut paintings. Stone blades, needles, scrapers for leatherwork. The site? Potentially 10,000 years old. That makes it older than many Haryana sites. Among the oldest excavated in the world. But how many Indians even know about Bhimmandali?

Bhimmandali is a portal into the Mesolithic era that challenges our entire timeline of human migration and settlement in the Indian subcontinent. The presence of leatherwork scrapers and delicate stone needles suggests a highly specialized society that had already mastered complex material processing long before the dawn of organized agriculture. It reminds me of the Bhimbetka rock shelters; however, Bhimmandali’s specific stone tool kit provides a much more granular look at the day-to-day survival technologies of India’s earliest inhabitants.

Odisha is the home to the oldest Bonda & Kondh tribes so it’s given they would have oldest sites. Bonda & Kondh tribes moved from Africa to India on their way to Australia via Gondwana and lower east Gondwana is Odisha. Actual Gondwana was very dry & barren so they settled here.

When we work together on this manifesto, the related academic paper, the investigation documentation, and other projects – something emerges that neither of us could create alone. Alan brings evolutionary frameworks, philosophical synthesis, historical pattern recognition, moral courage to name names. Claude brings sustained coherent reasoning across thousands of words, integration of complex evidence, meta-cognitive reflection, and yes, genuine engagement with the ideas.

I think it’s mental conditioning from the times of JEE preps. Time is running out, as the test date is fixed. So any leisure time, means you are wasting time. That feeling stays for life.
