Unravelling the Enamoured Enigma. December 31, 2013. As the year comes to an end, the recent news of demise of one of India’s finest movie stars shook me out of my self-imposed exile from my blog. Books and movies have always had effect on people, but it is not very often that one can associate so deeply with someone one has never met or known personally and feel their loss so deeply. Posted in Movies n Me. My journey with books. Happy new year 2014. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Speaking feminism in india. A view on "being different" and social conformity. Monday, August 06, 2007. Take an old-fashioned feminist who doesn't like the attention that Being Different attracts, and doesn't think non-conformity has to have a high-visibility component. add to that a strong tendency to be a peacenik. i am very, very picky about what ways i will "stand out" from the crowd. Broadly speaking, i think there are two kinds of social demands. Historically, B groups try to sell their members as ...

Speaking feminism in india. Of girlfriends, wives and subliminal conditioning. Tuesday, July 17, 2007. Read this extract from THE HINDU (16 July, 2007 Metro Plus [Chennai Edition]). When Shruti Kamal Hassan asked Arjun Vignesh (one of the ten finalists in the Chennai leg of the Horlicks Wiz Kids 2007 competition) "What is better having a girlfriend or a wife? To thunderous applause. Guess who clapped? An auditorium (Kalaivanar Arangam) full of school students. I think there is something horribly wrong in...

Speaking feminism in india. Saturday, April 14, 2007. I chanced upon an edition of that gem of a magazine, India Today. Smart and sassy" said the cover page, showing a young woman. the story was ostensibly about how women are making it big in the corporate world. india today is india's largest-selling english magazine, so i think it's a fairly representative visage for that fuzzy beast called mass media. i want to dissect the representation made by them now. On the cover page. And then, the current issue:.

Speaking feminism in india. Abuse of male privilege. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. I had made a list. A list of the unearnt, undeserved privileges that i have as a well-to-do brahmin woman. i hoped - almost prayed - that some men at least, after reading that, would make a list of the gender-bestowed privileges that they have. Because this is what happens when a man abuses his male privilege and uses it to hurt a woman. Every time some guy says "but i'm. Men know this almost better than women. the man ...

Speaking feminism in india. Monday, April 16, 2007. What would be the appropriate punishment for someone who sexually abuses children? When asked this question, typically people respond with the following answers:. While these responses arise out of the shock and horror stories of child sexual abuse often bring, they are neither appropriate nor practical. And here’s why:. Finally, this method will kill only who get caught. Abusers are so smart in their modus operandi, that for every abuser who gets c...

Speaking feminism in india. A sense of Responsibility. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. It is just that I have recognised these things largely because of feminism. A sense of Responsibility. That's right. Responsibility with a capital R. Every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a duty". John D.Rockefeller Jr. We ARE responsible. it really does not suffice to say "I didn't do it! It really does not matter if you AREN'T the perpetrator. it is really not good...
