Rustic: There just happens to be a very beautiful thing such as solitude
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2012/10/there-just-happens-to-be-very-beautiful.html
I think. And so I type. Tuesday, October 9, 2012. There just happens to be a very beautiful thing such as solitude. They say there is no such thing as happiness. No one is ever truly happy. Happiness is something that is much sought after. We do it in such subtle, involuntary ways even. We always want a little more, a little better. Everything we do is to feel better than before. Why? Why is it so needed, that we are happy? Why can we not embrace sadness and welcome it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rustic: Movie theatre
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2015/04/movie-theatre.html
I think. And so I type. Sunday, April 5, 2015. I once described life to this guy I was riding behind with. I told him that my life was like those minutes inside a movie theatre. Now, I had the ticket with me, I'm inside the theatre. I'm watching the movie. Waiting for it to end. Only then can I walk out. Awaiting death, I called it. Years later, I am made to realise that I still feel the same. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bangalore, Karnataka, India. View my complete profile. One Of A Hundred.

Rustic: October 2013
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
I think. And so I type. Sunday, October 13, 2013. A couple of years ago, I used to ride to work on chilly mornings at 6:30 and annoy the hell out of everyone. Why? I remember how excited I was when I got a refrigerator and paid for it myself. It was my very own fridge. It was small and red. I made sangria. I am no longer annoyingly happy. No miniatures stocked up. They don’t help anymore. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bangalore, Karnataka, India. View my complete profile. There's a bit of Jalsa in Jack.

Rustic: March 2013

I think. And so I type. Sunday, March 3, 2013. That ambiguous, uncertain feeling. 8220;Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”.

Rustic: November 2011
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
I think. And so I type. Sunday, November 6, 2011. Do we ever really? Every post of mine in the recent times seems to promise regular writing. Hasn't happened yet. And as usual, I was going through some earlier posts of mine and I yet again observed that I'm pretty much the same, even now. My thoughts, beliefs, ideas, perception, outlook, everything still remain the same, albeit a little more evolved. Change. Is surely a constant. But do we, as people, as individuals, ever really change? Do we ever really?

Rustic: Thatha
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2013/04/thatha.html
I think. And so I type. Sunday, April 7, 2013. I cannot recall. Not a spiritual or a religious person myself, he was the only one to teach me shlokas and such when I was little. I remember the black telephone with a round dialler. I remember his favourite black cane chair. He always, even the last time I met him and spoke to him, chided me for not keeping a bindi. But I was the only person with whom he was lax about it. I’d like to think I was his favourite. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Rustic: February 2012
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
I think. And so I type. Saturday, February 11, 2012. Proverbs and sayings are being used at an alarming rate. What is scary is that the entire meaning of that phrase itself becomes either overly dramatised or ignored all together. My good friend quoted one recently. “History repeats itself," she said. Now, what can you possibly make of this sentence? That something that occurred at least once before will occur again? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bangalore, Karnataka, India.

I think. And so I type. Wednesday, December 25, 2013. Industrial revolution. Industrial revolution and women. Women during industrial revolution. Working women during industrial revolution. Industrial revolution mad men. Mad men commentary industrial revolution. Iconic images of women during industrial revolution. Rosie the riveter mad men. Mad men feminist book. Feminist books. Feminist book industrial revolution mad men. And voila! We tend to see non-working women a notch (or two) below the working one...

Rustic: July 2012
http://purplestormthej.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
I think. And so I type. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. All you have to do, is listen. No, you are not content. The need to follow a bunch of things and to hold on to the rest is pathetic. Freedom of thought is literally non-existent. It is not going to be easy to even comprehend what you are reading here. Try getting away from the noise. Noise pounding at your ear drums and drilling into your brains. 'Calm before. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bangalore, Karnataka, India. View my complete profile.
