Anaamika - The Nameless One
Friday, October 17, 2003
  Why Anaamika? I was just looking at my website and was thinking that some of you might not know why it's called Anaamika. There's actually a long story to that, but suffice it to say that Anaamika means The Nameless One in Sanskrit.

It is a name I used for the character of a short story that I wrote some years back. The character was representative of women; particularly the women in India who are victims of dowry deaths. Anaamika was representative of the nameless, faceless masses of women who are killed as a result of dowry disputes in India, a country in which dowry is illegal.  
  Stomach rumbles and tumbles How strange....the last post I published actually came out on the website as the 2nd last one! How weird is that?
Anyway, I'm just recovering from an acute attack of stomach flu!
It was tiring - Sunday morning saw me throwing my guts out and let me tell you, it wasn't a pretty sight!
It's amazing when you think about our insides and how even the prettiest/hunkiest of us actually look quite gross on the inside! Yes my darling sister brought up this salient point when I spoke to her last and yes, it's true, but I don't think it's a surefire way to cure jealousy!! I mean when you look at someone you think is beautiful, and you think...hmmmm she actually looks like shit on the inside, my mind would then say...yeah but we all look like shit on the inside and can't help it, at least she looks superb on the outside..so yeah, I don't think thoughts like that would really help....

anyway I think I'm rambling..must be after-effects of the stomach flu! I think I'll stop now and continue another day!

Hope you have a great weekend!

 
Hello, and welcome to my very own little cyber-space. This blogspot is going to be a virtual diary, filled with thoughts, anecdotes or sayings that I might have read from someplace as innocuous as on the backseat of an SBS bus, interesting encounters, experiences, travelogues, I think you get the general idea? This space is MY space and will be filled with anything I'd like to fill it with! So if you think you can handle the nuggets of wisdom embedded in a lot of drivel, please proceed!!

gloria steinem
You are Gloria Steinem. You are the McDonalds(tm)
of liberal feminism, though you used to expouse
some pretty radical ideas, you ended up working
the system. Because it's easier? Maybe. But
thanks for the only mainstream feminist
magazine and for heading one of the most
significant feminist lobbys in the history of
the US. We wouldn't be where we are without NOW
and Ms., as much as some of us are loathe to
admit it.

You know when to reserved, and when to be
daring. Most of all, you're fun and
charasmatic!
