Musing aloud

[Guest guest]

This has been going on and on for years (nearly 2 decades+ in my

experience)!

 

There are those who need directions (regardless of if they really

want to follow or not)

 

There are those who have learned the divinatory crafts and are

prepared and willing to give directions, just for the satisfaction of

it or for a suitable exchange.

 

PLEASE note I am talking about sincere parties on both ends and not

the well-you-all-know-what-many-have-been-writing-about-in-their-

messages-and-books!

 

Skirmishes, like the recent one and many many others before this one

arise because -- ?

 

Is it because the subsidized meals available in the college cafetaria

for students are now being sold to wider body of consumers (for

whatever reason?)

 

Are the 'Food-Club members' objecting because they want to munch on

their salad in peace while they are reading jyotish, or even an

uplifting message and do not want to be disturbed by those who drop-

by and pick up conversation with unwilling lunchers?

 

Is some 'on-the-side' sale going on which is

perceived/feared/observed but not addressed directly and causing some

concern, not by others who wish to sell, but just because they see it

as a library-cafetaria!

 

Well let me assure you, where I live, most public libraries have a

coffee shop selling their wares, quietly and unobstrusively. Although

there is a BIG difference! They are selling coffee, muffins and

danishes and not books or knowledge (so completely different business-

line!)

 

Maybe that is the answer as I have seen in one innovative forum,

actually two of those!

 

They have two boards -- one for discussions and the other purely for

readings!

 

No mixing of needs and pleasures!!

 

How Tanvir and Neeraj will make that happen is up to them!
