http://truthaboutnobody.blogspot.com/2010/08/emperor-has-no-clothes.html
The Truth about Nobody. Keep no score and take no prisoners. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. The Emperor has no clothes! Leaking roofs and coffers with holes. Stadiums standing on faith and totem poles. India awaits its turn on the auction block. No time, none even to take stock. Money spent, records not even in a dusty register. Where are you, Mr.Prime Minister? Red flags running amok in jungles beyond reach. Everyone's an expert, thanks to that freedom of speech. Hollow victories built on dispensable lives.

Of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me. How old you are. I want to know. If you will risk. Looking like a fool. For the adventure of being alive. The accus...

I am in trouble. of the deep, deep sort. because i'm becoming lazier by the day and crazier by the night, for that is when i take stock of the day of a thousand procrastinations and enter my very own private hell. Style, saying "Out to Lunch", to shoo off the stubborn ones. Another one to the rescue. Basically, i'm vegging out, (pun definitely intended, it is navratras.

The Truth about Nobody. Keep no score and take no prisoners. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Mars attacks and Venus fly traps. I had mentioned in an earlier post how I continue to get these toxic mails from a bunch of. Rabid misogynists, posing as knights to the rescue of the "Indian Family", following a piece I wrote for HT some months ago. Don't bother clicking on this link if you did read this recent blog post. And they kept calling me a "feminist" who doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. On to other ex...

The Truth about Nobody. Keep no score and take no prisoners. Saturday, June 12, 2010. Bhangra in the Bible belt. Yes, Cheee-caaago, which is where I was this past weekend, for a Sardaron ki Shaadi. No less. My cousin brother got married, amid the following near life-altering experiences/ realisations:. A long, long.long flight, during which I thought I was dying of tetanus;. The scribbling of ugly henna on my hand by a sleep-deprived laborious Gujju aunty, undeterred by my jet-lagged nod-offs in between;.

The Truth about Nobody: What if beggars became choosers?
http://truthaboutnobody.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-if-beggars-became-choosers.html
The Truth about Nobody. Keep no score and take no prisoners. Friday, May 21, 2010. What if beggars became choosers? Quality to it. Especially if the hallowed venue happens to be the House of Horrors. Where they "do not serve anything Indian" and the kebab-like apparitions are referred to as "chicken charcoal", in awed whispers, if you please. Where pizzas are thin and tongues get fat, pretty soon, with second-rate vodka. Ok, time out. We just got our annual appraisal letters, so this blog post must b...
