mutterflea: December 2011

http://mutterflea.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Looking at Life as it plays out. Thursday, December 29, 2011. Never the twain shall meet. At the MMRDA grounds, Mumbai, early this week. Thanks to Anna Hazare, the rivalry between Delhi and Mumbai has just found itself a new front on which to play out: political apathy. The unexpected whimper with which his campaign petered out in Mumbai on Wednesday, 27 December, shocked both Team Anna and media watchers. August 22, 2011, New Delhi. Of course, plenty of people were pleased. The events in the Rajya Sabha...

mutterflea: A Requiem for Paul

Looking at Life as it plays out. Thursday, May 9, 2013. A Requiem for Paul. The last interaction I had with the late Paul Menezes aka @PSnide on twitter was not a pleasant one. I was having a conversation with @NigelBritto about the outrage in Goa over the accidental killing of four fishermen by a reckless coastguard ship and the lack of national attention to the incident vis-à-vis the reaction to the deliberate killing of fishermen from Kerala by Italian marines, when @PSnide got into the act.

mutterflea: China in my hands!

Looking at Life as it plays out. Friday, May 24, 2013. China in my hands! I've been experimenting with permanent marker on some plain china plates I've had forever. Fired the plate at 180 degrees C for half an hour in my domestic oven. After it had cooled, I washed the plate with Pril and was happy to see it didn't come off. Hopefully, it'll stay through multiple washes. I'm now enthused enough to doodle on every bit of plain unadorned china I can find. Already started on my next plate. China in my hands!

Looking at Life as it plays out. Saturday, February 4, 2012. It's my party; I can cry if I want to! This article appeared in an edited form in a local paper called Friday Gurgaon). A month of beginnings. My house always looks like it’s been hit by one of those north Indian summer aandhis. My collection of tableware is, to put it politely, somewhat mismatched: tribal curry bowls made from gourd jostle for space with glazed turquoise china, dented steel plates, and a whole pile of chipped this-and-that.

Looking at Life as it plays out. Sunday, March 25, 2012. Picked up a wooden industrial reel from a roadside raddiwallah in Gurgaon yesterday and enlisted the kids to paint it in bright acrylics and transform it into a side table. The chipped portions have been covered with coasters from Gogo Saroj Pal whose paintings of flying women I absolutely love. All in all, a table that makes me want to use it all the time :).
