On Self-Hate and Romance. The romance of the Muslim is both an unlikely and a resilient part of Indian nationhood. The cultural history of the republic is littered with it, from Mughal-e-Azam,. Which is probably her best work: as the Partition takes its bloody course, the bed-ridden Hindu poet Raja fumes at the ongoing attacks on Muslims, pens derivative shairi. And so on . These are very different films. Mughal-e-Azam. Have joined the party this year alone. It is not difficult to understand why Musl...

Ethnocracy, Israel and India. Of inter-community and community-state relations in India and Israel, the presumption of difference, which might be comforting to secular nationalists in India, begins to wear thin. We are forced then to ask how Indian nationhood can ‘work’ for minorities, and whether the contradictions between ethnic monopoly and democracy that are inescapable in Israel can be escaped in India. Of racism and the urge to make ethnic groups disappear, and the interconnectedness of discourses ...

Whims and Whams: November 2010
http://whimsandwhams.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Super-awesome Christmas gifts for your kids (if you want to damage them). 1 Tauntaun Sleeping Bag. Looks cozy enough, but then I thought: "Tauntauns are NOT for sleeping in! 2 “First Act Discovery” Recorder. As if the availability of thongs for your 12-year old daughter isn’t horrifying enough this was the packaging choice they went with? Someone get me my pitchfork. Links to this post. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Read this book. No really, read this book. Red light, morning li...

Whims and Whams: Learn About Me
http://whimsandwhams.blogspot.com/p/learn-about-me.html
This is me. Well, technically this is me just not presently. I was born in the early 80s (check out that 70s decor - my parent's were a little behind the times), and since then I've been kind of busy. I shed the trappings of my pink terry-cloth footy pajamas and moved on in life. Today, I live in the Bay Area (in California, for those of you who are thinking "what Bay? In an apartment with my fiance Matt, and our two cats. Sounds dreary and sometimes it is, but not all the time and that's what counts.

Monday, February 14, 2011. So my last blog post was about my favorite shows’ best moments and now one of those moments has collided with our. It all started yesterday when Matt decided to cut through a gas station to avoid traffic (tsk, tsk Matt). He saw a cop and decided that his idea was no longer a good one and parked to avoid a ticket. Since he was parked, he decided to go into the store and pick me up a treat, which I was pretty stoked about later when he presented me with this:. Yes, I am. My name ...

Sunday, March 20, 2011. Why do I want to put hand-sanitzer in? This is something that happened while at my old job, which reminds me.I forgot to tell you I started a new job which is why I've been silent. Since new job actually requires me to be present, I may be posting less. Wish me luck! Again, as I was standing in the cafeteria line, draped over a high counter, an impulse popped into my head:. Put hand sanitizer into your eye. That would really, really hurt. Isn't that like pure alcohol? These are th...

Thursday, October 28, 2010. You're not getting my wedding memories yet. Getting married was fabulous and I feel I should write a lot about that but I really don't want to. They're my memories and I shall release them to you once I've used them all up.I hope you like wedding scraps! There were several funny moments over the past three weeks but the best/worst examples have been these really awe-inspiring moments from the elderly:. Airplane rides sure are fun, right? We were on the last leg of our trip and...

Whims and Whams: July 2010

Friday, July 30, 2010. Bras and Red Lipstick. When I was a tween, I had a very brief modeling career. Despite what many think, being 5’7” at 12 years old was not an asset in the children’s modeling industry. I was not very successful. I was sent to many “Go-Sees” by my agent which are exactly what they sound like: You go, they see you and they’ll call if they want you. Most of the time I would walk in and they would say “too tall” and I would leave. I didn’t get that gig, but looking back as an adu...

Doing the Modi Wave. Now that it seems certain that Narendra Modi will be the next prime minister of India, and his opponents are duly horrified, it is worth asking – from inside the circle of opposition – whether the horror is justified. A crude but concise way of doing that is to focus on the trope of fascism that has marked the rhetoric of being ‘against Modi.’ Is the man a fascist? Yes Is he ‘like Hitler’? Not necessarily, because it is unlikely that the Indian political system will allow him to act.
