People should be just attractive enough to attract 1 person. - Kan

The whole room saw what their minds told them was correct.
I was the only one who saw differently. Saw what was actually there.

The setting was almost exactly the same. Just the People were different. And they spoke with American accents. Glaring differences one might say from our Indian skin and accents.

Still, everybody insisted I was wrong.
Even though I wasn't.

I might as well have been wrong.
And I was, until somebody who also had basic observation skills realized what the debate was about and backed my observation.

I hadn't wasted too much time arguing, determining as it clearly was, a waste of time.


Observation 1: People are idiots
Observation 2: Even right is wrong with no supporting witness
Observation 3: Don't waste time on useless arguments

New York I love you

I let you think I was attracted to you.
Because you are attractive.
Not because I actually was.
I've never been.

Get closer to what you love.

Don't underestimate the bargaining power of a woman.

You crave for something wholeheartedly for a very long time -- with tears swelling your eyes and beg life to grant you that wish. Life grants it -- when it no longer matters, when your heart has already refused to feel anything anymore.

This guy I know asked me a question.
He said, if you had to go to a deserted island and you could take just one thing with you, what would you take?
So I thought for a moment and said, people.

He promptly informed me that I couldn't take people along.

I couldn't help noticing that he'd missed the whole point of his own exercise.

She sat naked, her chin resting in her hand. Thinking. Should she use her powers for good or evil? Good was so grandma panties if you thought about it. All the way past your belly button nearly up to your neck. Would be enough to smother anybody. But then evil; was just the other extreme. It was then that Maskara rememebred that there was something she had to do.
She walked to the very edge of where she lived, looked around her once and then dived. After what seemed like an eon of time but was only really a very few minutes, she hit the water and sliced through. Eyes closed, she made her way to the surface gasping for breath. When she opened her eyes she was on the other side of the world. In a room bare except for carpeting, a cupboard and a mirror. She walked over to the mirror and examined herself. 'So this is what I look like.' She thought to herself.

Kashmir: An impression

Your first sight of the mountains makes you glad that you came.
Your traveling track record can only be described as impulsive.
Where earlier on you question this impulsiveness.
You no longer do.

You wait in the heat.
It's hard to imagine that the top of the world could be warm.
But it is.
You make a mental note, not to grumble about the weather back home again.
A taxi takes you to the second best hotel there.
The first thing you notice on your way there. The soldiers.
Everywhere.
The second thing, the shabby grandeur of the hotel.
A capacity of maybe four hundred.
An occupancy of perhaps four.
It's sprawling, it's beautiful, it's old world. Charming.
It's sad.


I go out to meet my Kashmiri friend.
Pakoras and tea.
Her brothers, her cousins, they've come along.
They're georgeous. Of course they are.
They're Kashmiri.
All of them studying to be doctors, lawyers.
Secretly I suspect that this is something of a social pressure.
Well educated.
You have to be.
I roam around the city on my own in a taxi from the hotel.
The only other thing that strikes me apart from the soldiers are the children.
They also carry guns.
Toy ones.

Again, you feel a twinge, you consider it, then discard it.
This is life.

I watch the women. Very conservative and yet, they're not.
The older girls, they pull their head coverings a little more securely round their heads when they pass by people they know. Relatives, friends, people who's words carry weight.
Close to minutes later, their heads are bare again.
Subtle.

As we stop to buy famous Kashmiri sweets, little Hareen, the youngest of the cousins in all innocence asks, 'Do I look better THIS way?' wrapping her duppata elaborately round her head, 'Or THIS way?' pulling it off to show her hair and cover her chest.
The only appropriate answer and I find myself smiling as I say it. 'Both ways, darling. Both ways'.

There is fun to be had.
Lamb kabab off the side of the road, a shikara ride on Dal lake, ancient Mughal gardens, the ruins of palaces
I take in all of this. I lap it up.

You leave, I'd like to say, as quickly as you came.
Except that you can't.
Security checks at the airport in Srinagar don't seem to end.
You finally get on your plane.

Happy, sad, happy? sad?

I can't tell.

Prakash

Meet Prakash.
Prakash and I both ordered lemon soda.
I ordered masala, he ordered jaljeera.
His tasted better.
I wanted his.
He refused.
When he wasn't looking,
I swapped our drinks.
I was awesome.
I couldn't stop giggling.
I drank the whole thing.

I found out a few days later
That he knew about the swap the WHOLE time

About Prakash: Indulgent
About Me: Indulged

She, a mother of two grown up girls told me in the course of our almost one sided conversation that she had had a love disappointment when she was younger. She quickly added that her adolescent daughter, my friend; didn't know.
It was how she had come to marry the man she was married to.
From the sound of her story, he was not so much her definition of a husband, more, the a father to her daughters.

Me- See, anyway everybody else you know is going to hell. Also, you'll be really bored with all those Mormons. So you bunk church, you'll go to hell, we'll all hang out together there. It'll all be good
