Dear Friends,
I was intrigued when Sumana Roy and Kunal Ray started their oneating website. In the past Sumana and I have cooked some projects together but they never materialised. In October, when Sumana asked me for an article on the Langar at the Farm Protest, I was happy it would be featured on oneating. Sukhjit Singh contributed massively to the article. Thank you!
The Farmers Protests were suspended in December ’21, but I am glad oneating has still featured this article, not only in English but translated into Panjabi by Jashan Preet Kaur and Hindi by Vandana Rag. Thank you so much. Through the protests I saw how Jaskaran Singh Rana’s photographs brought the events home and thanks to Gurdeep Dhaliwal, I am so glad JK Photography has contributed to the essay. Kunal has cared immensely for the essays. Thank you!
I think such documentation would be important when future activists and scholars try to map and learn from the largest protests in the history of the world.

Dear Friends,
in the last 30 years since school, I have never taken a physical education class. I have walked a fair bit in my life, I am a walker, but have studiously stayed away from anything more than that much exercise. I am middle-aged now, stout; I do not care much for what I wear, how I look. I am food agnostic. Yet, one October morning last year, I enrolled for BARPS – a somatic technique conceptualised by dancer and somatic master Navtej Johar.
Here is my experience. Please read …
Dear Friends,
I know, many like me are stunned at Panjab’s choice. This is for you. We are trying to keep dialogue going.
G Sampat from The Hindu spoke to me about AAP’s tremendous win in Panjab. Here are my views on the present and the future of the party which will now govern Panjab. I believe the Panjabis are a robust people but bad politicking over decades has placed Panjab in a precarious place and hope through better governance and development AAP provides the healing touch the state needs.
