Katherine Boo's book 'Behind the Beautiful Forevers' are full of lifestories that i've encountered before but clearly i didn't find them worth writing about. That to me is a tragedy; that we (and i mean Indians) don't find ourselves worth writing about; that it takes a foreigner to intimately report on lives we see/hear all around us. I did start writing a piece on ghettoised Muslims in the forlorn parts of South Kolkata and filed it away. I should dig it out and share it. May be it will resonate with someone, somehwere and lead to a better understanding of lives less than ordinary

Priti Sen Arora came visiting to the grand old city of Delhi and we did everything that food-loving, ill-tempered, travel-hungry siblings would do--namely, eating, drinking, bickering and whizzing around the city in a frenzy of sight-seeing. The four days blurred into a mix of technicolour delight with all the sights, sounds and smells filling our senses. The history bug bit us hard and after seeing so many forts, baolis, markets, tombs, mosques we were ready to collapse. We even managed to squeeze a movie in the midst of our whirlwind tour of all things Delli. By the end of her trip, we both agreed that this city is too big, too bloody expensive, too noveau-riche and too irresistible.

Praying for a miracle

Dear Minto baba,

You can power through this illness. Please don't give up. We love you more than we love ourselves.

Your sister Nidhi
