Rantings of a freelance writer for tv. Started in a fit of unemployment-induced itchy fingers. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Big horror happens and we reel from the impact. Or we think we do. We believe our hearts bleed so much for those who suffer that we can't wholly comprehend it. We allow the terrible events unfolding outside to make us feel safe and grateful on the inside. We tweet, blog and weep in our private corners. Nothing can help, even the tiniest thing helps. How do we make sense of it all?

Rantings of a freelance writer for tv. Started in a fit of unemployment-induced itchy fingers. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Little Sandhya is four and barely taller than the tables of the Reading Room, where she has been making a drawing for the last 20 minutes. Now, volunteers are telling her it’s 6pm. Time to wrap up. But Sandhya’s not going to leave without signing her name on her masterpiece – a hut and mountains, with a shy sun peeping through. 8221; – I will spell it myself. There is a wonderful progra...

Except that now she’d have to face Mr. Teji Madaan for the second time that day. Curse him for forgetting to put the atta. Into her shopping bag. I swear he does this on purpose…just to…just to… piss me off. Isn’t that the word Minty always flings at her? This food pisses me off, this house pisses me off, you. They all send their boys. Jus...

Aquatic Static: Dear India, sound familiar?
http://aquaticstatic.blogspot.com/2014/11/dear-india-sound-familiar.html
Rantings of a freelance writer for tv. Started in a fit of unemployment-induced itchy fingers. Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Dear India, sound familiar? I've finally gotten around to reading The Millenium Trilogy. Which is shockingly not fluff (goes to show what an illiterate I am). The passage below quotes a character, who visited Germany in 1941 and describes the ethos of that time. For anyone who's ever asked in a judgy tone (me): "But why didn't the Germans.
