ETHERISM & POETIC RITUALS
The name is intentionally chosen. It’s a way to combine my various areas of knowledge. Yet, here, once again, poetry, or poeticness, remains my primary focus. I have nothing against science or other arts, but writing poetry is a "creative" act, divine in nature, and serves to create and change the world (into the World) and convey deeper knowledge. In this sense, even Aristotle was wrong when he claimed in his Poetics that literature was "more philosophical" than historiography, but still beneath philosophy. Indeed, the first philosophies were in verse, in meter. Besides meaning, their sound, tonal quality was also important—more mnemonically powerful, it transmits knowledge while simultaneously invoking and awakening it, not remaining at the intellectual level alone, but extending to the soul, the spirit, the emotional, and even physical knowledge and memory.

Ajaccio, 1769 – Brienne-le-Château, 1785 December 25, 1778 – Ajaccio I was born on a proud, rocky island, cradled by wind and the songs of the maquis. My mother says a storm was raging when I came into the world. Perhaps that is why I’ve always felt something wild inside me — a force I cannot name, a longing for greatness, though I do not yet know what kind.

Did Kareena Kapoor Khan Take a Subtle Dig at Priyanka Chopra?
Did Kareena Kapoor Khan Take a Subtle Dig at Priyanka Chopra? The world of Bollywood has always been a hotspot for glamorous friendships, infamous rivalries, and subtle shade. Among the most talked-about relationships in the industry is the one between Kareena Kapoor Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. While the two leading ladies have shared the screen in films like Aitraaz, their personal equation has often been the subject of speculation. Recently, buzz has been growing around a possible subtle dig Kareena may have taken at Priyanka, reigniting old conversations about their past jibes and current dynamics. The Statement That Sparked Speculation During a recent promotional interview for her upcoming film, Kareena Kapoor Khan was asked about the trend of Indian celebrities settling abroad. While the actress tried to keep her tone neutral, one particular line caught attention: > “I believe in staying grounded in my roots. Mumbai is my home. I don’t feel the need to go halfway across the world to prove myself.” Although Kareena didn’t mention anyone by name, fans and media outlets were quick to interpret this as a veiled reference to Priyanka Chopra, who has been living in the United States since her Hollywood debut. With Priyanka’s growing global presence — including her roles in Quantico, Citadel, and major Hollywood films — Kareena’s comment seemed to hint at the contrast in their choices. A History of Subtle Tensions This isn’t the first time the actresses have made headlines for comments about one another. Their off-screen relationship has had moments of both friendliness and frosty tension. Years ago, during an episode of Koffee with Karan, Kareena jokingly asked Priyanka, “Where did you get that accent from?” referring to Priyanka’s slight American twang after her international debut. Priyanka clapped back in a later episode, saying, “The same place her boyfriend gets it from,” pointing at Kareena’s then-partner and now-husband, Saif Ali Khan, who has often been noted for his British accent. These back-and-forth remarks may have been lighthearted on the surface, but they gave fans a glimpse of the competitive undercurrents between the two stars. Different Paths, Same Spotlight Kareena and Priyanka represent two different kinds of Bollywood success. Kareena, born into the legendary Kapoor family, is Bollywood royalty. Her journey has largely been India-centric, with consistent roles in Hindi films and a well-established presence in the industry. Priyanka, on the other hand, carved out her own path from Miss World to Bollywood stardom and then went global. Marrying American pop star Nick Jonas and moving to Los Angeles, she has managed to maintain her Bollywood ties while expanding her brand internationally. Their differing career paths have often invited comparisons — intentional or not — and statements like Kareena’s are quickly analyzed for subtext. Fans Divided on Social Media Following Kareena’s interview, social media lit up with mixed reactions. Some praised Kareena for staying true to her culture and roots, calling her words “refreshing” and “grounded.” Others accused her of taking an unnecessary jab at Priyanka, suggesting that the remark was a sign of underlying jealousy or discomfort with Priyanka’s international success. Twitter and Instagram were flooded with posts like: “Kareena is just being real. Not everyone wants to chase Hollywood.” “That’s definitely shade. Why bring up moving abroad at all?” “Priyanka made India proud globally. Why try to downplay that?” Clearly, the debate touched a nerve with fans of both stars. Could It Just Be Misinterpretation? While it’s tempting to jump to conclusions, it’s also possible that Kareena’s words were misinterpreted. The actress is known for her bluntness, and she has often expressed a preference for staying close to home, especially after becoming a mother. It’s feasible that her comments were more about her personal values than a dig at anyone in particular. Moreover, Bollywood interviews are often framed in ways that provoke sensational headlines. Unless either actress addresses the comment directly, any assumptions remain speculative. Priyanka’s Response — Or Lack Thereof As of now, Priyanka Chopra has not responded to Kareena’s statement. Known for her poised public image, Priyanka rarely engages in media-driven drama. Her focus remains on her upcoming projects and family life in the U.S. If she does choose to reply, it’s likely to be as witty and sharp as her past responses — but fans might be in for a long wait. Conclusion Whether or not Kareena Kapoor Khan intended to shade Priyanka Chopra, her comments have once again highlighted the complex dynamics between Bollywood’s leading ladies. In an industry where every word is dissected and every move is scrutinized, it's hard to separate genuine opinions from veiled digs. Regardless of the intent, one thing is certain — the Kareena-Priyanka saga continues to intrigue fans, proving that in Bollywood, subtlety can speak volumes.

Shah Rukh Khan Opens Up About the ‘Insider-Outsider’ Debate: "I Lost a Family in 24 Hours"
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, often called the "King of Bollywood," has remained largely silent on the controversial insider-outsider debate that has haunted the Hindi film industry in recent years. However, in a rare moment of vulnerability, Khan recently admitted that the topic deeply troubles him—and that he has experienced personal loss in ways most fans don’t know. During a candid interaction at a recent event, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about the mental and emotional weight he carries when it comes to the insider-outsider issue in Bollywood. His words were poignant: “I have a problem with this debate. I lost a family in 24 hours. I know what it feels like to be on the outside. I also know what it takes to keep standing.” From Outsider to Icon Shah Rukh Khan’s journey from a middle-class Delhi boy to the most celebrated superstar in Indian cinema is often cited as the ultimate outsider success story. With no connections in the film industry, Khan began his career with television serials like Fauji and Circus, before making a sensational entry into Bollywood with Deewana in 1992. Over the next three decades, he became the face of Indian cinema, representing dreams, aspirations, and love for millions around the world. Despite his superstar status, Khan has often been viewed as the exception in an industry where family lineage and connections are considered pathways to success. The insider-outsider debate intensified after the tragic suicide of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020, sparking widespread discussions on nepotism, mental health, and the pressures of the film industry. While many celebrities took to social media to voice their opinions, Shah Rukh remained noticeably silent—until now. A Personal Loss Without naming anyone specifically, Shah Rukh shared a deeply emotional anecdote. “When people talk about being insiders and outsiders, they forget that life doesn’t ask who you are before it gives you pain. I lost someone I considered family in less than 24 hours. The grief doesn’t ask whether you're a star or a struggler.” His words struck a chord with many, especially those who have followed his life journey closely. It is known that Khan has faced multiple personal tragedies, including the early death of his parents. The actor has also seen the dark side of fame, with constant media scrutiny and the burden of high expectations. No Easy Answers Khan emphasized that the film industry, like any other, is a complicated space. “It's not black and white. Talent, luck, timing—they all matter. Yes, some people have easier starts, but everyone has to fight to stay relevant. The audience is the biggest judge, not the industry,” he said. He acknowledged that the industry does have biases and that gatekeeping exists, but he also urged aspiring actors not to give up. “If I could make it without any background, so can others. The journey may be hard, but dreams are meant to be chased. No one can stop you if you believe in yourself.” On Mentoring Newcomers Interestingly, Khan also revealed that he actively tries to support new talent. “I always tell young actors: don’t be afraid to be different. I didn’t look like a hero when I started. I wasn’t tall enough, fair enough, or conventional enough. But I had fire. And sometimes, that’s enough.” He spoke of how he has opened doors for new writers, directors, and actors through his production company, Red Chillies Entertainment. “Giving someone a chance doesn’t mean guaranteeing success. But it means giving them space to try, to fail, and to grow.” Mental Health in the Spotlight Touching upon the psychological pressure in the industry, Khan called for more compassion and understanding. “This profession is beautiful, but it’s also brutal. Rejection, isolation, and judgment are daily realities. We need to create a culture where people feel safe talking about their struggles. Not just actors—everyone on set matters.” He advocated for mental health support mechanisms within the industry and encouraged conversations around emotional well-being. A Message of Hope Concluding his thoughts, Shah Rukh said, “Labels like insider and outsider divide us. But art is meant to unite. If you have a story to tell, this industry has a place for you. It may not come easy, but it will come.” As always, Shah Rukh Khan’s words were marked by humility, depth, and an underlying sense of hope. At a time when Bollywood continues to face criticism and introspection, voices like his serve as a reminder that the path to change is through empathy, honesty, and support for one another.
