Most of it out of tune, I suspect.

Post some Pink Chaddis

Monday, February 9, 2009 · 3 Comments

The Pink Chaddi Campaign kicked off on 5 February 2009 to oppose the Sri Ram Sena. The campaign is growing exponentially and that is not surprising. Most women in this country have enough curbs on their lives without a whole new franchise cashing in with their bully-boy tactics. Of course, a lot of men have joined the group as well.

The first part of the campaign is to gift Muthalik and his goons with pink underwear on Valentine’s Day. Everyone is invited to mail in their pair of the pinks!

Am sending off a large parcel first thing tomorrow to:

The Pink Chaddi Campaign,
C/O Alternate Law Forum,
122/4 Infantry Road (opposite Infantry Wedding House)
Bangalore 560001
Karnataka

Arundhati Roy’s new short story

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The tone is inconsistent, the story sags with heavy technical explanations, and the idea pretends to be prophetic but any high-school kid can envision that sort of future. I wasn’t blown away by her essays, but at least they had passion. This piece seems forced, even contrived.

Very disappointing.
