For
a fortnight now, India has stood still. Held its
breath, said its prayers, not moved off its chairs
and charpais for fear of upsetting some cosmic
order. An outer life is lived in a detached virtual
reality where offices are attended, bills paid,
food cooked, kids scolded, homework done. Mostly
though it's an inner life where dreams are dreamt.
A nation waits in hope and fear, anticipation
and trepidation. For a fortnight now, another
India has been on the move.
