The crib: Day 2: Diya, Shaun and Covent Garden
http://ushasi-thecrib.blogspot.com/2013/08/day-2-diya-shaun-and-covent-garden.html
Thursday, August 22, 2013. Day 2: Diya, Shaun and Covent Garden. Diya, my friend from University, and her diminutive husband Shaun, took a train to London from Sheffield to attend the races at Ascot and visit the perambulating Basu family (us). We agreed to meet at the British Museum at the sensible hour of 12 PM, because we were getting over our long journey, and Mia was still very under the weather from her cold. Bought-it’ look. Tintin with the mushroom thingy it was then and out we hurried,...Unfortu...

The crib: July 2013
http://ushasi-thecrib.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Of Ka-kaas, bow-bows, miaow-maows and Phishees. Day 6: London Zoo. We decided to take a cab to the London Zoo because it was steadily drizzling, and none of us felt up to our usual gymnastics on elevators and escalators with the stroller in tow. Besides, we wanted to remind ourselves of how the city above-ground looked like, because really, the bowels of the earth look very similar whichever country you go to. (It’s black and whizzes past.). 8220;No, these are Sumatran tigers, the...

The crib: Are we safe anywhere?
http://ushasi-thecrib.blogspot.com/2015/05/are-we-safe-anywhere.html
Saturday, May 9, 2015. Are we safe anywhere? I’ve been in a cynical, depressed kind of mood today, people. I keep saying to myself, what’s the point? Look at this Salman Khan thing. The man goes scot free (yes, yes, suspended sentence of 5 years, boo-hoo for him) because he’s a famous actor and because the person he killed was a nobody. Now if Salman Khan had managed to run over Shah Rukh Khan, I’ve a feeling things would have run a very different course. And yes, all the other murderers out there should...

The crib: The Travelling Circus on Day 9 and 10 in New York with Satarupa
http://ushasi-thecrib.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-travelling-circus-on-day-9-and-10.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. The Travelling Circus on Day 9 and 10 in New York with Satarupa. For the NY leg of our trip we decided to dispense with a mobile because a basic connection would have cost us a 100 dollars, and what did people do a decade ago when they travelled without cellphones? I have no idea how anyone met anybody else at pre-determined times and places before mobile phones allowed us to check every movement. “Where are you now? 8221; “Put the phone away and Look UP you idiot! We headed o...

The crib: April 2011
http://ushasi-thecrib.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. The police can’t consider this a case until ‘someone files a complaint’. I don’t know if I missed the report where many public minded citizens then sprang to the defence of the victims of these horrifying crimes, and lodged PIL after PIL, but I’m guessing The Indian Culture Police didn’t really think these incidents worth their outrage. What’s going on here? What’s behind this attitude? It’s fine for a woman to be a victim but not the mistress of her own body, is that it?
