Some time ago, a post of mine went up on the front page of the Atheism subreddit and someone asked me my deconversion story. Here's the response I gave:
Dhunu, the 10-year-old protagonist in Rima Das' feature Village Rockstars (2017), was given a piece of advice the day she hit puberty: Stop climbing trees and playing with boys.
As the speaker of an ancient Dravidian language, I am confused when people ask me what my mother tongue is. I am nominally Tamil. I speak the language, it is true. I even know the mandatory swear words in the language and can hold my own against auto drivers in Chennai.
This blog is really about feminism and food and in my last two posts I have not really explored the relationship.
The Mahabharata is a many-faceted narrative that can teach you anything you want to learn. Depending on the way you see the world, you may find in it nihilism, devotion, everyday practicality, or even justification for murder.
It would have been virtually impossible for me to have ever seen the actor Edward G. Robinson on stage, as when he played Broadway for the last time, it was in Paddy Chayefsky’s Middle of the Night in 1957 — the year I was born. Renowned as a film actor, it’s important to note, that like so many greats who first burst on the scene with the advent of talking pictures, Robinson was a major stage actor before he came to Hollywood in 1929. At that point, he had twenty-nine Broadway plays to his credit in the years between 1916 and 1930, nearly two per season. How’s that for a statistic? Always one of my personal favorites, Eddie G was the first actor I ever took to impersonating — at the age of five.
Jewel-coloured saris and spotless white veshtis mingle as people bustle about in the pale grey dawn, preparing for the sunrise. Young girls and boys dressed in their best pavadais [woman’s skirt] and shirts laugh and run around gleefully. Everyone is excited to prepare a feast and welcome their honoured guest, the Sun God, or Surya Bhagavan, to whom they owe their livelihoods and indeed, their lives.
The debate over "humanitarian intervention" is an interesting one, with the subject being worthy of examination from several angles. It is undeniable that cynical wars have, by now, often been justified in the name of such intervention.
This extract taken from Alberuni’s India by Dr. Sachau tells us about the ruling Shahis of Kabul, their origin, the benevolence they possessed and the dynasty’s end. Traveller Alberuni, having been someone in the service of Mahmud, was aware of the Shahis for quite sometime since it were the Shahis who had been contending against the prince Mahmud for time immemorial, and this is why it is no longer a surprise that Alberuni wrote about the Shahis of Kabul in the very first chapter of his work ‘Tarikh-i-Hind’ the English translation of which has, in this episode, been narrated.
Dear Anandini
Full disclosure: I write this after seeing the first two episodes of Disney's (or Pixar's, same difference ever since the buyout) Monsters At Work.
दिलीप कुमार भी चले गए. वे एक भरा-पूरा जीवन जीकर गए हैं.
This is what I call home. Away from work and away from a world that has its own expectations.
I am an introvert, never ashamed of accepting this.
In a recent email to alumni, Symbiosis Law School said it was suspending its association with two former students who were part of the #MeToo movement in 2018, where they called out Srinivas Methuku, then an assistant professor at the Hyderabad-based college. While they were students, Apoorva Yarabahally and Snigdha Jayakrishnan were evicted from the college hostel for ‘disciplinary action’ for their role in outing Methuku. Last month, the college asked for its former students to sign an apology if they wanted to participate in an alumni meet or they would “suspend…their collaboration” with them. Many saw this as a clear punishment for Yarabahally and Jayakrishnan for speaking out. The law school’s director Shashikala Gurpur said that a majority of the students apologized, and the others wanted to “normalize without accountability.”
You know as you grow up in your journey from being a teenage girl to a woman the pressure of marriage indirectly or directly starts building upon you . There could be many factors contributing to that pressure and one out of them is the mindset .
