hot tea and cigarettes: Authority and Adulthood
http://bytheteastall.blogspot.com/2010/02/authority-and-adulthood.html
Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Friday, February 19, 2010. What do you want to do when you grow up? And, my perennially heightened interest in the concept of youth and what constitutes childhood and innocence automatically means that wading through college applications brings with it the chance to see young people through a fresh pair of glasses, simply because of the educational system I am placed within.

hot tea and cigarettes: this is not a movie review
http://bytheteastall.blogspot.com/2009/06/this-is-not-fucking-movie-review.html
Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Sunday, June 28, 2009. This is not a movie review. Combine a history of the west’s fascination with India, the ‘booming’ economy of the country, a society as complex as (if not more than) any in the world, and you can tap into an audience and subjects, the likes of which have never been seen before. So what’s all the fuss over Slumdog Millionaire taking home top honours at the Academy Awards? Man you almost made me c...

hot tea and cigarettes: Relapse
http://bytheteastall.blogspot.com/2010/02/relapse.html
Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Thursday, February 18, 2010. To blog is to unleash an inner desire to be exposed to the hordes, to voyeuristic eyes, sometimes to let words slip away from the self into a vortex of emptiness, like emitting beeps into outer space, never knowing where they go nor who, if anyone, receives them. Maybe some dedicated receivers keep detecting those beeps. And then let the current of thought slowly fade away.

hot tea and cigarettes: after a few pegs
http://bytheteastall.blogspot.com/2008/12/after-few-pegs.html
Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. After a few pegs. I spent a day or so in Delhi before making it to Calcutta and it was as crazy as always. Much of Saturday night was spent at f-bar because my friends found a way to get everyone inside for nothing. Over the course of the night I found myself sitting alone in the parking lot, smoking and looking at everyone leaving the place through some serious beer goggles.

hot tea and cigarettes: January 2009
http://bytheteastall.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Friday, January 2, 2009. A year full of mamata? With each passing year new year's day seems a little older than in the past. I don't know whether it's because I keep trying to hold on to the way I've always celebrated new year's eve/day but it's slightly disconcerting either which way. A nice second day if not the best first I'd say. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Hot tea and cigarettes. A small collection of thoughts that the magical mirrors refused. Thursday, December 25, 2008. A Hummer near New Market. A Hummer near New Market! A Hummer near New Market? Calcutta continues to throw up elements of a completely surreal nature. While riding an auto up Rafi Ahmad Kidwai Street I saw a goddamned Hummer jostling for space amongst the usual mix of autos, rickshaws, taxis and other cars. Why would anyone want to drive a Hummer in Calcutta. Links to this post. For the lo...
