insanity / ennui: June 2008
http://xanjukta.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 10, 2008. The chicken and the duck. Softly kneaded into the senses was the taste of honey. She put her tongue to it cautiously. Exploding in a fury of rain drenched skin. Hands that sought another's. Lips that craved another's. Chocolate and vanilla rum truffles. Senses tested beyond their limit. All other deviations shut down one by one. Until sunlight poured in through the cobwebbed window panes. A small corner of the room was lit up. She sat there gazing into her soul.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009. 8220;You just sit there… don’t look up. Don’t look in the eye. Don’t look! 8230;act as if he’s invisible. He’ll just go away… or else the light will turn green and soon you’ll drive away. You’ll be home and then you can forget about it.” These are the first thoughts. How did we ever organize ourselves in this society this way? Who made the rules? I don’t know. I’ve run away every time. I’ve never checked it out. Who put them there in the first place? The simple fact of life: ...

Saturday, May 30, 2009. I'm in a dangerous mood. wanna do something crazy and spontaneous. i hate my existence where each moment is recorded and tagged and verified and corrected and placed in custody.

insanity / ennui: May 2011
http://xanjukta.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Salt river and the snake. It takes a very long time to get unused to something in life, especially if it's the good things of our small little petty existence. Thank god it's raining outside. at least some succor to my heartburn. I seem to be sighing a lot more. taking a lot more deep breaths. i'm this close to shutting my phone off. i guess it's always the worst before it gets better. or so i choose to rationalize and fool myself. And all i want is a classic 500! All information, ...

Notes From Underground: Women in India: Gender and Personal Laws
http://bchcraft.blogspot.com/2009/04/women-in-india-gender-and-personal-laws.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Women in India: Gender and Personal Laws. From a lecture I delivered two years ago. Since most laws do not address the varying experiences of women from different communities, they end up perpetuating the fragmentation of the female identity. We will now turn to specific controversial issues and legislation. Bhanwari Devi Rape Case. May 1, 2009 at 1:09 AM. May 1, 2009 at 1:10 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, February 25, 2009. A Walk to Emporio and Reflections Thereof. But it has also led to a disproportionate polarization of income. And in the midst of all this I will still walk into Emporio, schmooze at an exhibition and buy expensive perfume…. Self-loathing has started coming naturally to me now…. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. The Redundancy of the Sri Ram Sene. Muthalik, granted conditional bail in the pub attack case, also said the Sene would oppose Valentine's Day celebrations. Reports of ...

Monday, February 25, 2013. Do you even know what you stand for? Are you against the government? Are you against the mindset of the rapist or the abuser? Are you against the laws? Are you against yourself? Are you against crime? What do you stand for? This is an answer I want from all sections of the society. Politicians, students, housewives, activists, media et al. What do you want from the police? Want us to turn a blind eye to your riding without a helmet? Want us to arrest all the corrupt? There is t...

Notes From Underground: Field Notes, Part One: Chhattisgarh
http://bchcraft.blogspot.com/2011/01/field-notes-day-one-chhattisgarh.html
Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Field Notes, Part One: Chhattisgarh. I am finally here! The trip I have dreaded making after my longish stint in the northeast. Back to the underground, back to the brass tacks of dissertation writing. The process of not sitting in country capitals, but getting messed up and dirty, tromping in the back of beyond. Where people go to find stories and glamour and come away with a dissertation committee pronouncing them ‘experts’ on something. She was right. I wasn’t. 8220;We (th...
