INDIRA LAISRAM: June 2013

http://www.indiralaisram.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

I found the words. Wednesday, June 19, 2013. The din of life in America in the 1920s is so fascinating - the stock markets, fast life, new money, easy virtues and hard partying! Luhrmann has captivated every aspect of that life beyond imagination. And in the mid of that mayhem runs the story of three people, of a love story and a friendship that leaves you thinking, thinking. For all his negativities, Carraway describes Gatsby as the only ‘hopeful’ person he has met in his life. He consid...I admit I hav...

INDIRA LAISRAM: When Modi came calling Down Under

http://www.indiralaisram.com/2014/11/when-modi-came-calling-down-under.html

I found the words. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. When Modi came calling Down Under. Hundreds of Indian Australians descended on Southern Cross station, a major transport hub in Melbourne. As I entered the station, I was transported to a familiar world. The sight, sound and colour of the gathering reminded me of a political rally in India. Excited Modi fans were beating the dhol, some were dancing, some waving the Australian and Indian flags, and some selling Modi t-shirts to eager buyers. Inside the train,...

I found the words. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. 8217; poems and all the other Modi jingoism doing the rounds. I preferred ‘ Ab ki baar, Modi salwa. R”. I soon realised I belonged to a minority and did not want to be a part of a battle zone where I would have been decimated like the Congress is now.  . Saturday, May 10, 2014.

INDIRA LAISRAM: The Impossible Body

http://www.indiralaisram.com/2015/07/the-impossible-body.html

I found the words. Monday, July 6, 2015. So there on the steps of the iconic Parliament House in the heart of the city were a motley group of us doing 25 surya namaskars with curious onlookers probably thinking we were out of our minds. Braving the cold we twisted and turned our bodies to the sound of a heavily accented guru who kept yelling ‘eka pada prasarana dan’ (thrust one leg back). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I found the words. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. Lootera Is A Surprise. With all my friends on Facebook giving the thumbs up for Lootera. Their peaceful life is about to take a turn when an archaeologist Varun visits them and undertakes excavation work in the zamindar’s property. Through his quiet demeanour and gentle manners, he wins the heart of not only Pakhi but the zamindar’s. However this time he does not leave her even if it means risking his life.

INDIRA LAISRAM: March 2014

I found the words. Tuesday, March 11, 2014. A Phenonemon Called AAP. It was George Bernard Shaw, famous Irish playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics, who said politics is the last resort of the scoundrel. Perhaps a tailor-made quote for politicians in India? Amitabh Mattoo, Director of the Australia India Institute and Professor of International Relations at the University of Melbourne, says, “The jury is still out on whether the AAP is a zeitgeist of the contemporary history...

I found the words. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. I know you are just a click away most of the time, something that almost makes the distance between us illusionary. Hope to see you seen when you plan your next India trip.  . Aloo as I fondly called her (yes alliterations sound better) knew my pet peeve those days was former Indian President Pratibha Patil. I just could not stand the sight of the puny sari-clad president of a country who looked sleep deprived all the time! Thursday, November 14, 2013. Slowl...
