No Unified Theme: Lehman Brothers’ toxic legacy
http://nounifiedtheme.blogspot.com/2009/04/lehman-brothers-toxic-legacy.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Lehman Brothers’ toxic legacy. It seems that when Warren Buffett referred to derivatives as “financial weapons of mass destruction”, he was being more literal than he intended. The Times of India. Reports that failed investment bank Lehman Brothers holds a nuclear stockpile of uranium, from a former commodities contract undertaken before it collapsed in September 2008. If Saddam Hussein is still alive, as some speculate, he must be falling off the chair laughing. This be the verse.

Thursday, July 16, 2009. My Story" by Kamala Das: Book Recommendation 1. Last week, I read Kamala Das’ autobiography,. The acclaimed poetess passed away recently, and when I read the mention of the book in tributes to her in various publications the name rang a bell. I have read her poetry in college, and was particularly struck by the extract from this poem (An Introduction) which reflects the many identities we juggle as Indians:. I am Indian, very brown, born in Malabar,. E languages, write in. This b...

No Unified Theme: May 2009
http://nounifiedtheme.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. An ode to the trees at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Do the trees in JNU have a life of their own? Do they whisper to each other about mysteries unknown? About lovers sheltered under bougainvillea blossoms. About CSRD students debating on wheat versus sorghum. Though most trees are welcoming, some can seem menacing too. The latter must be hanging out too much with the Naxalite crew. The tree in the picture looks like its going out to war. Links to this post.

No Unified Theme: Endangered
http://nounifiedtheme.blogspot.com/2010/03/endangered.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. The corporate jungle’s new telecom entrant. Has endorsed your right to life and habitat. Though they topple trees to build towers. And cough smoke to transport their products. A famous baritone laments your death. Your orphan cub’s image evokes dread. So we don the t-shirts and we blog. We ooh and aah over your golden form. We call 5-star press conferences for your cause. Shielded from the air-conditioning by shahtoosh. School children vie to draw your features. Quote of the Day.

No Unified Theme: Love and a cigarette
http://nounifiedtheme.blogspot.com/2009/05/love-and-cigarette.html
Saturday, May 16, 2009. Love and a cigarette. You hold on to the damn thing on one end. Feel reassured by the fire on the other. You draw breath from it. It draws life from you. And just when you think you can't be without it. It fizzles out unceremoniously, like this post. Your post left me curiously dissatisfied. it was meant to. Pallavi: sometimes love leaves us curiously dissatisfied too. Praetor and anonymous: thanks. It just confirms how much u hate it! Unlike me n pallavi n etc etc.
