This is a Title: March 2014

This is a Title. And your collection of food in books. He opened it and then poured equal quantities of brandy and champagne into three large glasses. You do like wild boar, I hope? I said that it was one of my favourite meats, which was true, but could I have a very small helping, please? The meringues were large and white and brittle as coral and stuffed to overflowing with cream. Mustapha, bring the boy his owl and bring me some coffee and some of those nice Turkish delights up in the lounge.". I've a...

This is a Title: The city of my dreams

http://thinkwritedo.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-city-of-my-dreams.html

This is a Title. The city of my dreams. Whenever I visit Bombay now, I'm a fragile vessel of conflicting and equally-demanding emotions. Appreciation. Of the architechtural quirks and delights that dot the old city. A new-found, on-third-look, see-past-the-grime type. I always liked and admired them, but I didn't really understand how wonderful they were till I spent sufficient time with the oh-this-pub-has-been-running-since-1793* Brits. Claustrophobia. The city was always narrow and the existence o...

Shifting Sands: The old monsters

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-old-mosters.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. As part of the SF and fantasy course I mentioned in my last post. Reading Frankenstein was even more difficult, but there was a singular anxiety that is reflected in that writing - the anxiety of being alone. Perhaps it stemmed from the isolated environment Mary Shelly was when she first wrote the story. My s...Alien...

Shifting Sands: Herland

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2012/09/herland.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, September 24, 2012. Her ideas in Herland depict that women achieve much if they can live outside the boundaries defined for them in a masochist world. She also advocates that motherhood is not a right but a great responsibility and only the worthy should be allowed to bring up a child. It is a developed thinking, but in aiming f...Like ...

Shifting Sands: The original question

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-original-question.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, January 26, 2015. Which brings me back to the idea that the entire universe, and thus our complicated world with its complicated lives, are essentially all part of a big whole. We all got scattered in an explosion, and are now wandering to find our way back to the whole. But are we really looking to get back to the whole? I suppose not&...

Shifting Sands: June 2013

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, June 24, 2013. Does a misunderstanding or misconception ever correct itself? In stories, misconceptions often place themselves at the center, sometimes spinning the entire tale around. Mostly, in the end, people speak up, and miraculously the fog lifts. Monday, June 10, 2013. And so they are ever returning to us, the dead. Sebald's char...

Shifting Sands: This way for the gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2013/07/this-way-for-gas-ladies-and-gentlemen.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Friday, July 12, 2013. This way for the gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sometimes embarassed of my interest in holocaust literature. There is something morbid about wanting to read the tales of death chambers, of cattle cars, of people being pulled out of their homes in middle of the night. The tone of this story, and most of the others that fo...

This is a Title: The tales of Jeroo: Chai and philosophy

http://thinkwritedo.blogspot.com/2014/07/tales-of-jeroo-chai-and-philosophy.html

This is a Title. The tales of Jeroo: Chai and philosophy. Jeroo Dalal willingly admitted that if there was one weakness she had, it was for strong chai. Well, that and fresh pao. And some cheese. Oh okay, gossip too. And yes, the smell of frangipani after a light drizzle. Alright, alright, and Georgette Heyer novels. But mostly chai). And she had a particular weakness for the first cup of the day. Because the first cup was special. Oh, people would awaken. Special, and which is why she insisted on readyi...
