Epiphany: Movie Review: Monsieur Lazhar
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2012/08/movie-review-monsieur-lazhar.html
August 19, 2012. Movie Review: Monsieur Lazhar. I have been meaning to watch the movie since I heard about it on NPR. Finally, I did. With a 97% rating on rotten tomatoes and Oscar nomination, Monsieur Lazhar, written and directed by Philippe Falardeau, it certainly sounded promising. I have given away a lot of the film without intending to, and for that, I apologize. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe to my posts. Follow me on Twitter!

Epiphany: Chapter Five: Oleanders
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/12/chapter-five.html
December 25, 2011. The letter stays in my pocket weighing more than a ton of bricks. But before I deal with that I have to go to the police station to make sure the cops have an FIR registered for Khan’s death. 8220;Welcome back to Traffic Jam. I am Atosha, and I have caller Rajiv on the line. So Rajiv, tell us what song you would like to dedicate today” says the radio from the tea shop on the corner. It is a busy traffic light but people always have time for some tea. 8220;Wow, the Himalayas? It’s...

Epiphany: Shades of blood
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2012/09/shades-of-blood.html
September 09, 2012. Palette #4 was composed of these 5 bars: Black-Brown-Orange-Red-Black. Writing exercise was that the story had to be based on the Palette (#4) given to me. This is a fictionalized account of what happened in Dos Erres. Which is something you will never forget. I imagined Dos Erres to be composed entirely of Palette #4. Story told from Oscar's point of view. Apologies to Oscar. My real father puts his hand on my shoulder. I feel nothing, no recognition comes from within. I met him an h...

Epiphany: Spain Vignettes: Comida es la vida
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/tengo-hambre-was-one-of-first-phrases-i.html
July 28, 2011. Spain Vignettes: Comida es la vida. 8220;Tengo Hambre” was one of the first Spanish phrases that I learnt, and more importantly, never forgot, because of how important it is – “I am so hungry”. When I asked Ash. About planning a trip to Spain, Ash, who has been to Spain twice, wrote me a detailed reply. At the end of the email, he said simply, scratch all I said, just go for the food. Our first dinner in Madrid, somewhere near Puerta del Sol. This was the restaurant. Well, as you can s...

Epiphany: Chapter Four: You Said It!
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/09/chapter-four-you-said-it.html
September 01, 2011. Chapter Four: You Said It! Do you ever feel like we live in an increasingly noisy world? I have been around a long while, so I can attest to it. Open up your newspaper, switch on the TV, everyone is jostling to get your attention. And I am fairly certain that it has been getting hotter. It is hard for me to actually feel these things, admittedly, but I am very perceptive. But we are not here to talk about me. So where were we? After a koli’s. So Khan is dead, as are two more of Abhaya...

Epiphany: Chapter Three: The Sixth Tarot
http://rushwrites.blogspot.com/2011/07/chapter-three-sixth-tarot.html
July 30, 2011. Chapter Three: The Sixth Tarot. I have always been good at reading people. Trying to understand their motivations and raison d’être. Rishab seemed a bit put off when Manoj introduced me, but he recovered his composure very quickly. I wonder if it was because he recognized me, or if he disliked all journalists. In an interview with a women’s journal recently, I was asked if being born with a silver spoon made life a bit easier. I think back to the case. Three of my contacts are dead....

In a Brown Study. And other states of mind. Ambedkar and the savarna classroom. August 23, 2014. And ‘ Arundhati Roy replies to Dalit Camera. For some context, and below those posts on Round Table India, do read every single post by critics contributing to the debate around the introduction and what it represents. I cursed another good hot curse. The university buildings shuddered and sank waist-deep. All at once, scholars began doing research. Into what makes people angry. The only way to learn Ambedkar...
