Cross Connections: The Interview
http://farzana-versey.blogspot.com/2011/03/interview.html
Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. I was on the other side, being interviewed. It wasn’t the first time but I constantly found myself asking the questions inside my head. It’s part of the experiences I have had. So, before I get to me, I shall get to them. How much of oneself enters into the subject’s voice? 8220;But, they were speaking.”. 8220;Your questions were what created this chain and sometimes you’d just move on, almost impatient! 8220;Yes, but it will...

Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. A life, a death: Aruna Shanbaug. Her death is in the newspapers just as most of her life was. Aruna Shanbaug died after being in coma for 42 years. The headlines continue to talk about her "vegetative state". They continue to objectify her, and her entire life becomes a mere précis — rape, brain damage, lobotomised. They've taken pictures of her screaming, writhing in pain. What kind of people are these? Now the nurses and he...

Cross Connections: Unravelling Travelling
http://farzana-versey.blogspot.com/2011/11/unravelling-travelling.html
Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. VSNaipaul has not had dinner. At least, not with you. You are among the people he meets to concretise his ideas about the place he is writing about. You are raw material, and he cannot possibly sit with both a cooked meal and raw meat. At the literal level, yes. But I find some of his recent thoughts on travel writing curious and, therefore, interesting to explore:. He was right in implying that one should not read up about a...

India and Pakistan – a Perpetual War: Decapitation vs. Capitulation. Are India and Pakistan at war? If we take a pragmatic view, then there has never been peace between the two nations. Does this translate into war? Should crossing the border, killing soldiers, infiltrating be treated as war during peacetime? This is where it gets interesting. 8220;I think it...

Cross Connections: The Hang Over
http://farzana-versey.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-hang-over.html
Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. He was hanged to death this morning. I assume the nation will ensure that this "deterrent move" will prevent further such acts. Will the public, many of them celebrating not because they lost loved ones but because their limp self-esteem needs a boost, make the State answerable in future should the deterrence not work? Will the sagacious hangover be seen as the benchmark? 8220;But what then is capital punishment but the most ...

Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. 8220;It is life, I think, to watch the water. A man can learn so many things.”. 8213; Nicholas Sparks. There's no water. The overhead tanks were being repaired. By the end of the day even the lone bucketful was depleted and only a couple of jugs could be filled. The jugs became a symbol of all that a daily routine, and life, represents. I became suddenly aware of even drops being wasted. A time to build. Every few minutes, I ...

Wired to meet, maul, merge, emerge…. Yes, about me. Wired - a page that speaks. I have started writing out "and" in full, instead of resorting to the ampersand symbol. That little gesture seems to have taken me back to a few things, including using pen and paper. Once again somebody said that whatever I write tends to be too intense — and it was not an observation; it was an indictment, like I had to change, even improve. Improve upon it with levity? IT COULD BE HER. Don't scream. Don't teach me femi...
