Today I had a very fruitful day with Nishat – we talked of at least 2 dozen of different things – of the more prominent one is I think the way I feel when I am given a task of writing. Nishat, (Others too!) you  can access the following link for reading the text of Baudlaire poem we talked about today morning - there are several English translations too.

Here is that golden stanza that had kept in on toe since a late afternoon reading in 1985.

 C'est l'Ennui! L'oeil chargé d'un pleur involontaire,
II rêve d'échafauds en fumant son houka.
Tu le connais, lecteur, ce monstre délicat,
— Hypocrite lecteur, — mon semblable, — mon frère!

— Charles Baudelaire
