Here appear occasional jottings of my random musings. Profound or jejune, they reveal the contours of my mental universe, with world history, intellectual history, civilizations, philosophy, religion, society, knowledge, and books as some major themes. Since May 2011, this blog has been exclusively focused on Singapore. All my other reflections are now posted in "Notes from Noosphere" (see link under "Miscellany" on the right margin).

A snapshot of Kolkata (Calcutta)
From "The Man from U.N.C.L.E. #22: The Stone-cold Dead in the Market Affair" to "The Profumo Affair: Aspects of Conservatism" to "What is Dialectical Materialism?" on a Kolkata sidewalk in December 2008. (In connection with dialectical materialism, I would note that West Bengal has been governed by the Communist-led Left Front alliance for the past three decades.)
