Abstract
An autobiographical reflection on the interweaving of identity, journey and destiny, in which the author questions all such categories both from experience and a meta-reflection on potentiality and singularity developed in the work of Giorgio Agamben and Hannah Arendt. The reflection is structured by a narrative of the author’s journey to India from Canada and his manny-sided, personal and intellectual encounter there with the late Gandhian scholar, Dr. S. Jeyapragasam of Madurai. Their dialogue about Gandhi informs the horizon of their encounter and lends substance to its reflections on self, self-sacrifice and love of other.
