It is as if mysterious forces coursing through the mohalla have spontaneously combusted and ignited to produce a marvelous emanation of the cosmic in our midst. Who knows what corners of the universe inform this luminous entity in the middle of Mehrauli, the watering-hole for generations of horse-riding world conquerors, what hidden histories of the people are recounted in its mysterious ebbs and flows? A wish-fulfilling tree, sometimes studded with jewels, sometimes revealing the silken textures of a beautiful woman's thigh?

Light makes the remembered disappear and in its glow we glimpse perhaps the finest movements of our desires hidden deep within ourselves, the sticky flows of habitual but subtle lust by which we attach ourselves to reality in order to feel organically alive.

In this dream-light that can only be the beginning of consciousness as electricity, we find ourselves merging with the thing, the patterns of art effortlessly morphing into those of the mind.
