Poem: With/Without Words
by Jack Brummet
1
If I don't write it down
It's gone like a pickpocket,
Easing back into the crowd.
2
If I don’t write it down,
The earth, unaware
If I don't write it down
It's gone like a pickpocket,
Easing back into the crowd.
2
If I don’t write it down,
The earth, unaware
Of the loss,
Spins away--
With or without
The words.
3
If I don’t write it down,
The words race away
Like a hit and run driver.
---o0o---3
If I don’t write it down,
The words race away
Like a hit and run driver.

ATIT Reheated - Pune, Maharashtra: the Aga Khan's palace/Gandhi's prison where he lost his best friend and wife, but left behind his sandals and a half-pipe
By Jack Brummet, India Travel Editor
The Aga Khan Palace - click all pictures to enlarge
It was here, in the Aga Kahn's palace in Pune where Kasturba Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi's long time aide (whom he thought of as a son), Mahadeobhai Desai died. The palace that once belonged to the Aga Khan (whose son became the President of the League of Nations), served as lodging for the imprisonment of Gandhi and his wife Kasturba as British rule in India drew to a close. The Gandhi exhibits housed there are very homey and casual, and yet it is a thoughtful and moving collection. Seeing Gandhi's artifacts made him and that era resonate--we saw his cooking pots, letters and books, his sandals, photos, his Bhagavad Gita, even his bathtub, and a memorial with his ashes, in the garden near where his wife and friend's ashes are buried.
This is something to see if you're ever in Pune. This 1892 palace was built by Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah Agakhan III and was donated to India in 1969 by Aga Khan IV. It became the Gandhi Memorial.
I loved this place. It was a funky and moving tribute to, as Lord Buckley called him, "The Hip Gann." The Mahatma's presence and vibes reverberated in the palace and grounds like a celestial choir.
A pretty moving story about Gandhi's close aide dying
within a week of their imprisonment. Click to enlarge.
A memorial where at least some of Gandhi's ashes
rest.
The curved brick wall we began calling Gandhi's half-pipe
The sandals Gandhi wore in prison

A folky painting, kind of in the Soviet tractor style of propaganda art
The sandals Gandhi wore in prison
