Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Sunday, May 27, 2012. Picture: J W Waterhouse. Hidden. Locked. Safe. In the deepest, darkest recesses of mind and heart. A prophecy as unchangeable as – what? What, after all, is permanent, unshakeable, always itself…? Once, she would have said as unchangeable as love; now, it’s a word that doesn’t come to mind immediately. Things change. Things alter. Things don’t stay the same. And then, time shifts. She notices it as...

wanderer: Getting Off the Goddamn Fence
http://the-last-wanderer.blogspot.com/2012/09/getting-off-goddamn-fence.html
Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Getting Off the Goddamn Fence. I do not consider myself religious. However, I couldn’t care less for the larger, ritualized Hinduism that is routinely touted as “authentic” or give a flying you-know-what about Ram Rajya and other associated nonsense. We are the religious moderates. The ones who may not believe in something, but don’t have a problem if someone else does. We do...We don̵...

Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Friday, January 20, 2012. Becoming Your Own Sequel. If it can be broke, then it can be fixed. If it can be fused, then it can be split. It's all under control. It's all under control. Do we lose fragments of ourselves along the way? Does the compromising, the conversation, the cynicism take its inevitable toll? Are the losses worth the end result? All you need is time. All you need is time. All you need is time. The hon...

wanderer: June 2012
http://the-last-wanderer.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Saturday, June 16, 2012. See your own flaws as clearly as you see your enemies. Love your strengths like you love your heroes. Come home to yourself. Monday, June 11, 2012. The Symphony: Elements of Life. Be like the breeze. Have the ability to tread lightly, laugh airily, and flit from place to place. Be like the flame. Have it in you to burn steady, singe the unwary, and light up a murky corner. Be like the dewdrop.

wanderer: Heartbroken and Guilty: The Road to Freedom is Paved with Introspection

Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Sunday, December 30, 2012. Heartbroken and Guilty: The Road to Freedom is Paved with Introspection. 8220;Under the spreading chestnut tree. I sold you and you sold me.”. 8211; 1984, George Orwell. My country has always been my first love. But today, India, you are breaking my heart. We seem to have lost either the will or the ability to introspect. Bring up a flaw, highlight an issue, take up a cause – and hundred...

http://the-last-wanderer.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Friday, February 15, 2008. To write about love is. simplistic. reductive. implausible. incorrigible. Irresistible! Did I really think that something this perfect existed? Sure In the same way that someone who has never been outside of the city of their birth believes in foreign lands. But to. It To taste it every single day. That is a different country altogether. an imaginary homeland, located and conquered. Is that mi...

wanderer: The Comprehensive Manual to Being a Good Girl

Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Saturday, September 14, 2013. The Comprehensive Manual to Being a Good Girl. Be a good girl, they said. Raise your hand when you want to say something. Better yet, say nothing at all. Don't use swear words. Your brothers will, of course. But then, boys will be boys. You watch your tongue. Hold your tongue. Curb your tongue. Be a good girl. Don't you know only loose girls wear jeans and shorts? Be a good girl. Your ovari...

Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Tuesday, January 06, 2009. 8220;Everyone belongs somewhere.”. 8220;Maybe not everyone…. Maybe some people just get lost.”. Is it the general madness? Or is it the rollercoaster extremes that lost people seem to thrive on…? Of course, it makes no sense. Except in the most roundabout of ways…where it becomes clear that what binds us all together as a race is a complex whole of pain and happiness. And all of ...Humanity ki...

wanderer: August 2009
http://the-last-wanderer.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Keeping it real. desperately, crookedly, selfishly. with much love, madness and pink. Monday, August 03, 2009. Subtle, insiduous, and maddeningly insistent. Don't look for structure in this one. Or plot. Or beginnings and conclusions. Or articulation of already-formed thoughts and storylines and concepts. There's enough that comes to mind. We are shushed at regular intervals by senior overseers, and our group (which ranges from a 19-year-old to a 62-year-old) subsides into chastened silence at periodic i...
