Reflections: November 2010

Monday, November 15, 2010. Are they curious about the part of me that’s the same as my siblings, or the part of me that’s not. I find that entire line of questioning mildly offensive. A kid, I suppose, is interested in whether I have lots of fights and/or boardgames and whether it would be fun to play with me. As a tween, teen or adolescent, I imagine they’re interested in dating my heretofore unknown kin? Do I know how to share? I am always willing to partake of anything you have to offer. The one word ...

Friday, April 30, 2010. Http:/ www.economist.com/business-finance/displaystory.cfm? What does US post office mean to me? IMPORTANT AND CONFIDENTIAL written in unassuming, regular font,regular font size, black typeset really doesn't do much to get my adrenalin flowing. I suggest coloring the envelopes red. Or use glow-in-the-dark material. Or speckle the envelope with tiny hearts. Maybe use a nice texture. Or a citrus fragrance. Special paper? Something like special currency paper? And if I could give the...

Friday, March 26, 2010. Good night and good luck. Have you ever seen a cat as it prepares to go to sleep? Most cats deem the "self" as the only thing worth any respect, and with jolly good reason. What do you do with your earlobes? Now of course, I have entertained the possibility that we humans have found a way around this. In fact, that big piece of flesh that we call the brain, is right between the ears. They ought to communicate rather well about these kinds of imminent problems. Except, ...

Reflections: Ode to 2011
http://unpolishedmirror.blogspot.com/2011/12/ode-to-2011.html
Wednesday, December 28, 2011. In just a few days, Anno Domini 2011 will give rise to Anno Domini 2012. And I would have gone a whole year without saying anything in this space. Comforting, because perhaps I'm getting more comfortable in my own skin. No! And now, dear future Alzheimer's ridden self, who will tell you about Anno Domini 2011? Or perhaps you will remember the monkeys. Juno. Malloc. Opie. Emo. Gosh! And your advisor - she was simply the most generous person you ever saw. You started afresh to...

Reflections: The Flight
http://unpolishedmirror.blogspot.com/2012/02/flight.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. By this time tomorrow, Kalika would be far, far away from Leoni and Kaajal. Wait. This time 2.5 hours later? Or this time, but 2.5 hours earlier? She was going mad. A moment ago she had calculated. Now, she couldn't remember. "Ask passengers sitting next to you", mom had told her. "Be careful who you speak to", warned dad, concerned. Kalika wasn't sure who to listen. Soon, she must decide. Man I dont know who you are and how I get to the subscriber list but you do write great.

Monday, February 22, 2010. I slipped and twisted my ankle recently. In 24 years, I’ve never twisted my ankle. I’ve wantonly inserted my ankle into the spokes of my mom’s kinetic Honda once (I was just curious to know what would happen! I, for one, wouldn’t mind paying a penny or two for every medical page. Maybe the government should simple cure heart disease and HIV. I’d be happy to let google look at my sprain. Care for google-care anyone? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reflections: Embracing Plurality
http://unpolishedmirror.blogspot.com/2010/12/embracing-plurality.html
Saturday, December 18, 2010. NOTE : This post was written during the height of the ground zero mosque. Proponents of Park51 are at pains to explain that the people planning the mosque are very different from those who attacked the world trade center. Once the difference is acknowledged, it should no longer irk the sensitivities of those who suffered from the attack, they hope. Yet many of our leaders have a tendency to see the Islamic world as a single, terrifying monolith.". The Taliban and the extrem...

Friday, July 31, 2009. Farmer in the Dell. The farmer in the Dell. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Did you ever see one of those offbeat movies that are supposedly about the human experience in the modern world? A Dell Inspiron 1525. Huge ram, lots of hard disc, a supposedly kick-ass intel processor and so on and so-fatefully-forth. The farmer in the dell. The farmer in the dell. Hi-ho, the derry-o. The farmer in the dell. The farmer takes a wife. The farmer takes a wife. Hi-ho, the derry-o. He says never ...

Saturday, March 03, 2012. Listen carefully, sweet girl. Because I am going to let you in on a secret. When its time to replace your agent, its time to replace you! You say you’ve been in this industry 3 years now? And you’ve starred…… starred in 3 full-length movies. And you were the most prominent of a gaggle of waitresses in an unreleased…. unreleased 4th full-length movie? And you call this prolific work? Freddie, my agent. Did you memorize my secret, sweet girl? You can stretch your face thin, and pa...
