About Aagaah

Most of what passes for public life today is performance.

Leaders perform competence.

Institutions perform virtue.

Media performs memory.

Citizens perform identity.

And beneath it all, reality drifts — unnoticed, unresolved, unremembered.

aagaah is a platform against that drift.

The word itself means aware, aware, or awakened in Urdu.

It is a small invocation to stay aware of what is real when so much conspires to make us forget.

I write and talk about the widening gap between performance and reality.

I write and talk about power, culture, institutional decay, and the small ways that memory and meaning still matter.

I write and talk as someone who believes that moral realism is worth defending, even when inconvenient.

I write here and talk there.
