Apology/Update: Turns out it wasn’t Benetton (see Eco’s comment below and Jill’s on the other blog). The ads were never sanctioned by them. So you could replace this post with a “someone’s so sick they think this is a practical joke”.
Blr Bytes again points me to something thought-provoking: a Benetton ad(?) “issued in public interest”, part [...]

BatBaby

No, not a superhero baby. A real bat baby. Baby bat. In my flat. Yesterday.
Tipsy, what’s that bird flying around?
What bird?
Over there
Oh, God! Must’ve gotten in somehow and is trapped. Open all the doors and windows and it’ll fly away
Tipsy?
Yeah?
I don’t think it’s a bird…
After which Tipsy and her friend proceeded to call the watchman [...]

Aa okka vishayam meeda kada, nannu lokuvaga choostunnaavu. Aa okka daanito nenu neeku lokuvai poyaanu. Anduke kadara nannu ila treat chestunnavu…
Interspersed with sobs and in a suitably tearful tone of voice. Overheard on the road home. A girl, perhaps a few years younger than me, standing on the roadside, and crying into a mobile phone.
She’d [...]
For Blank Noise ‘07
Posted in Uncategorized on March 8, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Last year, Blank Noise asked us for testimonials witnessing street sexual harassment. This year, they asked for testimonials of our action against harassment, and I joined the blogathon on the other blog. And I decided to join it on this one too; but not just cross post from there.
So, I thought I’d make this post [...]
Ooh!

Ever heard abhi na jao chhod kar, yeh dil abhi bhara nahin? Of course you have. Do you know all of it? I do, but that’s one of the few songs that I bothered to learn. That, and kaanto se chheen ke yeh aanchal. The thing with learning the words to songs is that there’s [...]

S.C.U.M. Manifesto
Posted in Uncategorized on February 1, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Here.
I’m singing the glory of S.C.U.M.
Considering what happens when I sing, maybe it’s not that much of a compliment, but for what it’s worth, I am. I love this thing! Starting with:
Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to [...]
Lives and Choices
Posted in Uncategorized on January 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been reading at Feministe for a while now, and today I hit on the Reproductive Rights tag. All that reading about pro-choice and pro-life brought back a question I’d asked when I was in college, except framed a lot better now: What’s life without choice? Or vice-versa, I suppose.
I know a little about the [...]
No comments!

On this post. I’m disabling them.
You see, I just want someone to realise that I’m not being ‘nice’ so that my comments get published on her blog. I don’t think “if I like it” policies on comments are good, or even acceptable, but I’ve ranted enough about that on Canace. So, as I was saying, [...]
