http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Notes to Self : II Contrasting, Confusing, Constricting, Conflicting. Alliteration(s) or Emotions or both but they say it all! Imagine writing a book with a Title, Introduction and no body. Is that going to sell? Saying it all in. Is it a draft. may be. publishing it nonetheless! Labels: Notes to Self : II. She lives in Mumbai with her feisty 8 year old son and persevering husband. Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Vignettes of a month.

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: February 2011
http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Wednesday, February 23, 2011. We women are crazily biased. desperate really and we are so, as Moms! Our sons get away with murder when one tenth of the crime could have pinned our husbands to the permanent tag of an ex-boyfriend or worse! A sudden peek at my boy's Patriarchal aloofness came through (rather comically) today when he was phone-tagging someone on his (toy) handset, and I engagingly asked him "who're you talking to AAdi? An inveterate wordohol...

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: January 2010

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Friday, January 29, 2010. And so I dragged myself out of mourning today. exactly a month it's been since Baba breathed his last! Mourning, in some ways, is pretty notional as just about everything carries on undisturbed and continues unchallenged for those who live on. It has been the same for me. It's in the intangibles! What lies beyond mourning? What's lost are the ones purely between him and me in words, in nuances, in pure telepathy! A Life and Execu...

So what Consumed me today?: Old Codger
http://consume-and-consumer.blogspot.com/2008/04/old-codger.html
So what Consumed me today? Saturday, April 26, 2008. I was sitting at the bar reading my email, checking the latest on the IPL, sipping my pint and generally winding down after a day spent bhatko-ing around London boroughs. There was this old fart who came in and over the course of the next hour or so held forth to whoever would listen to his life story. Not very aggressively, mind you. Very conversationally! I write all this because I think I got a whiff of the famed pub culture over here. Then there wa...

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: My open letter to Anxiety
http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-open-letter-to-anxiety.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Monday, May 4, 2015. My open letter to Anxiety. I've been meaning to write to you for the last few weeks and today, finally, I had to! Please don't mind if I come straight to the gut of the reason - You dropped in a bit too often in the last few weeks! Either just to irritate me or to frustrate the other two who live with me. Such well placed civic sense and no social sense? Arriving unannounced, without a cue? This is the net-that-works, where you can ju...

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: August 2009
http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Friday, August 21, 2009. Long cherished and short. Venturing into Chinatown today was a mixture of deja vu and self admonition. I guess it would've been much less so, if I'd imagined Chinatown in the context of this super-clean, manufactured and manicured Singapore! And what the modern. Only seen were a smattering of tourists from western and eastern European countries, looking at trinkets and porcelain stuff, old chinese paintings, old embroidered panels...

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: May 2014
http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Sunday, May 4, 2014. A chance to recalibrate a new living. Oh, so I was a phone-widow for a week! Why, is that melodrama? Drama all right and there's nothing mellow in not having recourse to messaging ( WhatsApp. Included) anyone and no access to mail and FB on the move! Needless to say, I also did not have access to my entire contact list on my phone including Narayan's! Although he is denying he had a terrific week free of a snoop-gating. So today when ...

Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice.: June 2008
http://meamateur2.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Personal. Provocation. Proposition. No Prejudice. Monday, June 2, 2008. Notes to Self : I. I read the other day about Silence, that the purpose of words is to create Silence. Confusing huh! But made ample sense to me - Does every word you speak create Silence in others or turbulence and edginess. Pause and think! Why can’t it be both? Why argue for the sake of arguing? And that happens a lot! And Why can’t both possibilities co-exist? Do I want to risk that! Where am I going with these notes? A Life and ...
