Raving Lunatics
I was young once and in that long-lost time, there were things we knew as raves. A real rave was usually associated with a dingy-ish location that has no seating area and lots of space for intoxicated people to do intoxicated things. There had to be electronic dance music; bass that’s so loud that it [...]
Must-have
I should get me one of these.
Back in a Gif-fy
Alright, I’m just going to get this out of my system and maybe then I’ll have some luck writing the piece that I was supposed to have sent…about 2 hours ago. Well, actually 2 months ago, but the most recent deadline was 2 hours ago. See why I need to write this pronto? Recently, a [...]
Wife = Sita?
A man wants to divorce his wife. His wife doesn’t want to live with him. They appear in court. What do you suppose the judge does? In a sensible world, you’d think the judge would grant the divorce, figure out an alimony arrangement and say the modern equivalent of pax vobiscum. Not in India. While [...]
It’s Hard Out There For A Talking Head
ME: Hello? HT: Hello ma’am. I am Swapnil from [news channel with staggeringly high viewership]. Will you give me your opinion? ME: Er, what is this about? HT: Ma’am I would like your opinion. ME: On anything in particular? HT: Yes ma’am. That press gag law. You have written many things about it. ME: The [...]

Oh bugger it. I’m not giving up this blog. Not when the world wide web has stuff like this that one must make a note of and share. Sex in Detective Fiction – Do’s and Don’ts (1935) by Frank Armer, publisher of Spicy Detective magazine (with notes and emphases from yours truly) In describing breasts of a female character, [...]
I Spy Hope
It makes sense that one of India’s most successful films of all times is one called 3 Idiots. Being idiotic seems to be a national pastime, particularly if you’re in the government. We have a Home Ministry whose representative, the Additional Solicitor General, thinks homosexuality is against the order of nature. The ministry later clarified [...]
Love and Laughter
It’s been a calm February 14th. Apparently, the right-wing groups that generally go about thumping their conservative chests and thrashing canoodling couples — they’re usually profess to be Hindu — announced that they were not going to go on a rampage this year. The Shiv Sena’s Delhi convenor said, “Since last year we are not [...]
Smells Blog-worthy
I’m trying this business of writing posts on the phone. The reasons I’m trying this are the following: 1. I’m sitting in a car, in a Bandra traffic jam (Holy Family is an unholy mess). 2. I’m stuck between two people who are squabbling with each other. They are a married couple in their late [...]
