Lucid Dreams: Reflections on Partition
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2013/07/reflections-on-partition.html
Friday, July 19, 2013. As I was watching Bhaag Milkha Bhaag today, the sheer inhumanity of it struck me. We remember it, for sure, but not enough. Too many people have tried to kill each other in a riot motivated by religion in independent India for Partition to be remembered properly. India and Pakistan, North Korea and South Korea, Palestine and Israel. Examples of sheer human stupidity. One day we will learn. One day. July 22, 2013 at 12:51 PM. Excellently written and I share your sentiment. Dancing P...

Lucid Dreams: Strawberry Fields: A tribute
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2011/11/strawberry-fields-tribute.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Strawberry Fields: A tribute. There is something about Strawberry Fields. Half of my euphoria about getting into law school stemmed from the fact that my college organized Strawberry Fields, India’s largest competition for bands, a three day festival where people would play rock music, live. I had never seen a concert where rock music was played, Allahabad wasn’t that kind of place. Did it live up to my expectations? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Way In The World.

Lucid Dreams: April 2012
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 04, 2012. Jaipur Literary Festival: Day 1. I wrote this on the 2nd day of the Jaipur Literary Festival. I was too lazy to write descriptions of any other sessions and I can’t remember details of most others. Suffice to say it was an amazing experience and deserves a lot more written about it. After asking a very stupid question, which I immediately regretted, I left, kind of content. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Jaipur Literary Festival: Day 1. View my complete profile.

Lucid Dreams: A Day in Class
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-in-class.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. A Day in Class. So this is the kind of stuff that passes for poetry in this blog. Anyway, boring class, the creative output of which is set out below. I sit and stare, at a clock, while people around me,. Make no sense when they talk. The master of proceedings, the professor, leads a discussion superfluous,. Time slows down, no one makes a fuss. Some go on and on, loving the sound of their own voice,. If they only knew, half the class would shoot them if they had a choice. I mad...

Lucid Dreams: A New Beginning
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-new-beginning.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. I’m moving to a new city, a new life. I haven’t written here for so long. I wonder if that is because I want to make every post I write mean something, be well written or is it just a general inability to be creative, write anything well? I don’t want to whine, and spout self-indulgent psychobabble. Which is what I’m doing! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Mis'-understanding the culture of India.

Lucid Dreams: November 2012
http://joylessdivision.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 02, 2012. 2 Weeks in South Bombay. I bought an old book there, for very cheap. Very close is Churchgate, for local train travel. Otherwise, if you take the subway, there is Eros Cinema on the other side. Not very far is the Oxford India Bookstore. Sometimes I drank tea, sometimes coffee, and read half a book without buying it.
