Feminism
The area of feminism remains rather ambiguous to me. I have a self-suiting attitude towards the feminist cause and I'm not sure whether i would call myself a feminist, womanist or whatever. Yet i remain staunchly self-assertive when it comes to my rights and areas of freedom. Female subjectivity is so complex and our lived-in experience is so personal that world-wide solidarity and emancipation is a distant realm of possibility. I found this interesting piece on the 'three waves of feminism' and it has sparked some serious thinking on my part.

Tumi Ke, Bolo To??
Travelling by local train in the countryside is an truly eye-opener. My personal experience has been that we board the train with all the baggage of middle class pretensions but disembark with absolutely no reservations. You get a real slice of life; the sights, smells and cacophony of that class of society that is hidden from our everyday view.
On a different note, I am sometimes confounded with the duality of life, the compartmentalisation of one's existence into wholly immutable spaces. Here i am on one side being comfortable with my identity as ascribed by birth and on the other equally at ease with my chosen identity. Yet i can never seem to reconcile myself to either. These are separate selves within the self, coexisting cohabiting yet altogether different. Really who am I??

OCD
1. I feel more comfortable in the company of women than men. Women rock this world!
2. I can be quite aggressive and cantankerous and i absolutely love a good fight.
3. I dig honesty, especially individuals who are true to themselves and others.
4. I love dancing and still harbour aspirations of being a trained classical danseuse.
5. I am scared of myself, which is not a very pleasant attribute of oneself.
6. I like technicalities, methodologies, systems.
7. I am appalled at my poor sense of history and hope to redeem myself. History is fascinating as it puts life as we live it in full perspective.
8. I am a very fickle individual, who needs constant stimulation and engagement of the mind, body and soul.
9. I wish my job pays better and takes me places. Fingers crossed.
10. I want to travel more with my sisters. They are my eyes in this unseen world.
11. I find learning about the finer things is life an aesthetic pleasure but detest people who show pretenses to the same.
12. I'd like to gain the world's knowledge not to flaunt it but to understand it better.
13. I obsess about weight yet i am too fucking lazy to move my ass.
14. I don't like complications in life. I like to lead my life very simply and naturally.
15. Minto is my companion for life. Meri Jaan. I love to watch him dream. The rolling of his eye balls, the twitching of his ears, the muffled growls and paw movements. AAAwwwwwwwwwwww<3
16. I have become so predictable that all my moves to outsmart Pinoo have backfired on me. Not fair.
17. I'd like to think i'm a superwoman, capable of taking down the establishment handsdown.
More later......

Mother's words of wisdom
Is showing Hindu-Muslim communal harmony onscreen cliche?? I don't think i have the answer to that question tonight. I need to ponder over this...
P.S-For the record, I do not watch movies with my mouth open.
