Arbitrary Obsessions. Cities. History. Music. Feminism. Maami-isms. Patterns. Halwa. Identities. Free Verse. The Internets.
A sudden realization about the terminology ‘breakneck’ speed. Over the last one week, I have:
1. Gone to Delhi for a trip that lasted just about 48 hours.
2. Flown for dirt cheap rates to Delhi and back on Spice Jet.
3. Had the scare of maybe losing 250 odd books because Spice Jet stapled baggage tags on [...]

Flashback – This is when you see the spirals and enter the loop with me.
When I was about three and a half feet tall (so much easier to remember incidents and lifelines when you relate to height rather than years) and had about 14 and a half teeth, My Little Pony was dumped on little [...]

Born to write,
Constantly translate, and
hate rhymes.
Grind nibs and swallow,
eat, tear the paper on
which words haven’t spilled
in circles, that threaten to

sour suicide.
A word then leaps and
strangles, how dare you
use me without
the permission of the suffix.
Poetry, pottery,
you [...]

Conversations between shuffling feet
swollen, popping blue veins.
My toes store most
memories, and the instant in
which the homophobia of
Shikari Shambu has been
deeply imprinted on the
sole.
And then while you were
weeping tears and an
adult-tree was whipping
its leaves across faith, the
toes curled into themselves,
And I dug myself deeper between

The newspapers are full of reports on Chief Minister’s visit to the Infrastructure and Transport Project sites in Bombay yesterday.
Yours truly plays a small miniscule role in the these projects. And while she is neither quoted nor even visible to the most observant eye in the reports that were flashed out, she remains passionate [...]

What are your credentials dear blogger?
A big almost semitic nose, curiously fast typing speed, free internet (yaay), talkative, thinkative blah blah!
The ToI tells us that Shakuntala Mahawal, (Principal Information Officer) is trying to get a process in wherein bloggers would be recognized.
Well. First of all I don’t like the term net journos. Not every blogger [...]
